[b]The Grottos [/b]– venture deep within the caves and find the hive fields where the Queen’s armies are cultivated. [b]The Hive Field[/b] – Guardians must withstand tiers of cursed thralls and swordbearers. Follow the dying lights of fallen guardians and destroy the Hive Witch Merda. A fire team member with be the designated shield holder and guide the team safely across the field. Players who step out of shield range will fall victim to the weight of darkness and slowly become blinded. Multiple oracles will appear on the field to drain the light of the shield, temporarily weakening the defenses. Players must destroy the oracles in time before succumbing to the darkness while fighting off cursed thralls and swordbearers. Oracles come in 5 waves…. 1st wave of 2 ….. 2nd wave of 4… and 3rd wave of 6. In the 4th wave a giant oracle appears… when players destroy the giant oracle it bursts into multiple weak oracles. The wave is complete and you are ready to fight Merda. Oversoul appears every time a player dies. There is ample time to regroup between waves and hive enemies. [b]Merda’s Chamber [/b]– Once you reach this chamber Merda will summon a forcefield around him while he attacks you and your team. You must attack him with the elemental damage he uses to shield himself in order to break the barrier. At 75% health he will summon hive boomers and cursed thralls and you will have to kill them all to stop Merda from regenerating his health. At 50% he will summon Phogoth’s remains and you will have to do the same here. At 25% health, Merda will summon the remains of Sardok and then you will have to repeat the same process. [b]The Queen’s Domain [/b]– After you defeat Merda, you must venture deeper into the cave. The Queen will appear inside of a giant dark crystal like when you go to destroy Crota’s awakening. You fight 3 heavily armored witches, each with a different shield type. 2-3 Guardians will be warped randomly to a dark realm where they must run a path similar to The Abyss in Crota’s end and build a bridge to warp back to the Queen’s domain. This will repeat over time until all 3 witches are successfully killed. After they are dead the Queen will appear and you must defeat her as you have defeated Crota… except she is a witch and will move all around while summoning oversouls and hive enemies. Would you want a raid like this.
