I saw a few other raid ideas and decided try to my hand at it. Hope you like it. Try to figure it out. Part 1. After Orbit. Landing Area - Assault the Gate. Theme is an Awoken landing pad in front of a prison gate on the asteroid Ceres. You get 5 other Guardians together and launch the Prison of Elders raid from the Reef. Loading screen. Your team lands and immediately see a 30 second timer in the lower left corner over your Super meter. Next to it it reads, “House of Judgement Alerted”. After the first 10 seconds an alert comes from one of the guard towers, “INTRUDER ALERT!” After the next 10 seconds another alert comes from the second guard tower, “INTRUDER CONFIRMED! 6 INTRUDERS AT THE MAIN GATE!” If there are 5 Guardians it will say 5, 4 if there are 4, … After the final 10 seconds are up the guard towers open releasing Fallen Prison Guards from them and from the main gate. Picture you’re on a huge ass asteroid where some of it was made into a landing area with a huge ass gate and towers. Part 2. Seizing the Gate. First Loot Drop after the kill. Exotic Drop. Same Theme as above. In 3 towers high above on the prison walls are snipers sniping. These towers have spotlights that shoot detainment bubbles. You will be captured at least once. The fireteam must first reach these towers to seize control of the spotlights that are placing them in detainment bubbles. Only 1 Guardian can enter a tower. Once all 3 towers are under Guardian control the enemy will stop spawning and they can use the spotlights to help mop up the rest. The spotlights will have a cooldown. When the last enemy is killed the Gatekeeper will come out. When he comes out it will read over your Super meter, “Calibrating Scanner to match Gatekeeper…”. Think huge ass Captain with 4 swords. He will have all 3 overshields, arc, solar, and void stacked on top of each other. The order in which they appear will be random for each instance. He will be teleporting to fast to hit him and he will be one hit killing you. His shields are not going to drop at first. Figure it out. Kill him, get the key from his corpse, and open the gate. [b]How do you kill this guy?[/b] Part 3. Reception. 1st Checkpoint. Theme is a prison reception area. You’re walking down a corridor and then you enter a reception area with only one exit through a scanning device. There are only two enemies in this area. They’re drones with huge ass guns and they sit in a booth on both sides of the scanning device ready to kill. Think walking through a metal detector at the airport but in a prison reception area with huge ass guns pointed at your face. As soon as you step foot in the scanner and onto its plate it will read over your Super meter, “Scanning for Element…”. You then have 3 seconds to either activate the scanner or get off. Standing in a scanner, on its plate for more than 3 seconds gets you killed in the face. One by one each Guardian will have to enter the scanning device, stand on the plate, and then activate the scanner. Once the scanner has scanned the Guardian they can then proceed and wait for the others. If the fireteam does not go through the Scanner in the correct order the sentries will kill everyone, causing a wipe. The sentries kill everyone in the face. [b]How do you get past the Scanner?[/b] Part 4. Reception. The Elevator to Hell. 2nd Checkpoint. Theme is a huge ass elevator with Awoken and Fallen shit written everywhere. Once everyone is on the other side and on the plate, the door to an elevator will open. Get inside and wait for the doors to close. The elevator will be big enough to fit all 6 of you and 12 more. Remember some of these Fallen dudes are huge ass dudes so they had to make huge ass elevators. As you’re descending into the prison blocks the elevator cables are cut and it begins to fall. If you look up through the vents you can actually see some Vandals cutting the cables. You might be able to kill one or two of them. Who knows maybe stopping the elevator from free falling into a crash causes it to stop on a certain level where Guardians have a 7 second window to get off and grab a chest. Either way the cable gets snapped and you crash almost killing everyone. Part 5. Everyone off. 3rd Checkpoint. Theme is a crashed elevator that crashed into a prison cell block. After a brief duration of disorientation you see that you’ve crashed into the bottom floor of the prison. D Block. The crash destroyed part of the block releasing some of its prisoners. Even though there will be no timer displayed in your hud, you will have less than 7 minutes to free yourselves. You have to shoot parts of the wall to create an opening while others are holding off the enemy. More higher level enemies will appear every 2 minutes. Picture you waking up blurry eyed and you see Fallen, Cabal, and a species you’ve never seen before clambering around in the same disoriented state you’re in. One of them sees you and alerts the others. Now you got Vandals and Cabal trying to break their way into the crashed elevator. You better have your shotgun. There’s destruction, carnage, and bodies everywhere. The breakable wall will have a Health meter. The wall opens into a stairway leading to the cell block above. There will be enemies coming from the front and rear of you as you make your way up the stairs to the medical block, O Block. Once at the top of the stairs you have to again shoot your way through another wall. This time it’s a huge ass glass window. And it doesn’t have a health bar so Guardians will have to figure this out on their own. Part 6. O Block. 4th Checkpoint. 3rd Loot Drop once everyone is in O Block. Theme is a partially destroyed prison cell block and stairway. Once inside the block you will have to make your way to the exit. Some of the floor has been destroyed due to the elevator crash so there is a crazy path you will have to take that involves some good jumping / gliding / whatever the Titan does to navigate your way through it. The exit leads to another stairway. This one has been damaged but not by the elevator crash. Guardians will have to do some more jumping // to get to the top. Think the VoG jumping puzzle part (not the disappearing platforms part tho) mixed with some wtf, how the -blam!-, and there’s no way this is possible. That’s how hard figuring out the path through O Block and the broken staircase will be. Secret chest maybe? Part 7. The Yard. Exotic Drop. At the top you find the entrance to the yard where your target is, the Queen’s Brother. Here you will have to contend with the prisoners and the guards who are sniping at you from 2 guard towers. The guard towers will be the same as the ones at the main gate. The prisoners will be inside the yard with the Queen’s Brother. The Queen’s Brother is protected by two huge ass Fallen Captains each packing 4 swords and those ridiculous over over over shields the same as the first Fallen Captain. The shield order will be the same as the first Fallen Captain. These Fallen Captains will drop 2 swords each. The yard is in the center of a huge ass circle shaped room. At the 12, 4, and 8 o’clock positions are three scanners like the one in the reception area. The 12 o’clock scanner will be numbered number one, 4 o’clock will be number 2, and 8 o’clock will be number 3. You have to do the same thing to get through these scanners as you did in the reception area to open the doors that are in front of each scanner. This area will continuously spawn Dregs and eventually Vandals. Once the doors are open anyone can enter and leave through them. As soon as someone steps through a door’s threshold a countdown will start. Once inside you will have 77 seconds to kill the Queen’s Brother. He’s packing a shiv like no other. His lunge is as real as it gets. He’s a hunter so best believe he’s also packing all the Hunter tricks. He will kill you in one hit. And he will kill multiple of you in that one hit if giving the chance. At 10% health he will enrage and go into Bladedancer. He will be in his Bladedancer until he dies or the timer runs out. When the countdown reaches zero he goes into his Golden Gun and kills whoever is still alive. [b]How do you kill the Queen’s Brother?[/b]
