[GUIDE] EASY Solo Xyor, the Unwed

I see A LOT of posts here asking for help with the Xyor part of the Thorn bounty. Guess what? You CAN do it solo! I believe in you, and stuff. Hell, it would take a little longer but it's more than likely doable at lvls 24-25. This is a guide from when I killed him solo, as a level 26 hunter. My Weps: Shadow Price (not maxed) Some blue solar sniper (don't remember, long gone) Arc Steel Oracle (not maxed) I would have rather have had an arc sniper and a solar launcher instead, but it worked anyways. Knights are easier to snipe, and wizards are easiest to kill when you can just blow them up while they're zooming around. Heavy machine guns are good for both enemies. So, before you start: -BUY A LOT OF AMMO SYNTH!!! I never go into weekly nightfalls or any super tough strike without 10 normal, 15 special and 10 heavy. You won't need that much, but hey, the bigger the wall of bullets the better. -Pack the right heat. You'll need a good solar weapon for the wizards, and a good arc weapon for the knights. Well, you don't NEED them, if you don't have either you'll just have to fire a LOT more bullets instead. Now, when you get to Phogoth (as I assume you made it to Phogoth by playing it safe and picked off everyone from the rooms you were previously in): -Kill everyone before setting him free, or they will swarm the shrieker room. If it gets rough, run to the room behind the shrieker room (a.k.a. the "safe room") before getting ready again. -If you didn't know, the shrieker room is the room RIGHT before the big room where Phogoth is. -When Phogoth is free, just stand in the safe room and shoot him until his minions appear (just stand in the entrance to the safe room, and you can see a sliver of the main battle room. If you can't see him, periodically shoot into empty air, and Phogoth will move to where you can shoot him eventually as he will try and shoot you back. He can't hit you). -Once the minions start spawning, go barely out into the main battle room then shoot a minion and run back to the safe room (You can also just stand in the shrieker room for about 8 seconds(?) and when the shrieker spawns, run back to the safe room and it will despawn shortly). However, some minions (knights, wizards guaranteed) WILL follow you into the shrieker room, but not the safe room. Then blast away at the ones in the shrieker room from safety. -Soon minions will be crowding the entrance to the shrieker room, outside and inside. Once the inside ones are dead, aggro the ones outside and blast them away too. -Rinse and repeat. Again. And again. And again. -And again. -Once the third tombship has come, that's when Xyor will come to put down the pain. He will most likely come to try and shoot you in the face in the shrieker room, just like all the other Wizards. Return the favor from the safe room. -Now, you can either just go to orbit when he's dead, or you can have fun and go kill Phogoth for making you frustrated. Simply murder the rest of his minions carefully, and at this point NO OTHER ENEMIES WILL SPAWN. Hunt his fat face down in comfort. [spoiler]You don't get any rewards for actually finishing the strike. Well, besides Thorn. From killing Xyor.[/spoiler] -!!!NOTE!!! When the shrieker spawns, it will also spawn 2 wizards, and a bunch of knights. They WILL despawn when the shrieker does. If there's still a wizard or knight in the shrieker room after the shrieker despawns, kill it with fire! Or arc. It's a normal minion. -The DO NOT's: once you're killing minions, stay away from the room behind the safe room! Somewhere around there is the end of the darkness zone, so if you journey out of it Phogoth will regain health and I'm sure it'll screw a whole load of other things up. DO NOT kill the shrieker. When it dies, so will you. So be patient. Lastly DO NOT kill Phogoth before Xyor shows up, or you'll have to do the whole strike over again. Have fun! Seriously though, not sure why everyone has such a hard time with this. There might be a lot of words here, but once you try it it's a lot easier than it sounds. Edit: Really not sure why there's so many asking for help in this thread... This is a guide to do it solo... Buuuuut I guess there are those that want to do it faster ;) GET IT!!!!!
