It is easy, BUT only if everything that needs to go right does. Which doesn't happen to often. Here is howi beat Skolas 3 times this past week 1. Everyone wait in airlock until you have 7 rockets (gally's were our weapon of choice but I have heard it being done with HoC) & the ability to synth 7 more (this could possibly take up to 10 min in between each round).* * Even if dude is like 'I have 5 rockets I'm good' NO HE ISNT, MAKE HIM SYNTH AND JUST WAIT 2. Go out to the left and kill 'ghost' servitor ('ghost' takes 2 felwinter shots and he's scrap) and pop bubble (weapons of light, last longer, increased benefits), turn and start shooting ALL 21 rockets at SkoalaBear. 3. After the 'Servitor bonds are broken' (50% health) and the first round of mines shows up one player (usually hunter) goes to start defusing while other 2 synth and keep shooting the remaining 14 rockets 4. He should die by the end of the rockets, IF HE DOESN'T DO NOT PANIC! Keep firing at him with what ever you got and keep moving to the mines (hunter should be on the 2nd one by this time) and when you become 'tainted' do sweat it, as soon as he dies it goes away. Worst case your teammate comes and absorbs it up and you keep shooting him. 4b. If you hunter is lucky the mine will be at mid or right next to your bubble, so they can keep shooting rockets to make this go faster and smoother. 5. Return to airlock and enjoy your completely oversized new ship. If it doesn't work wipe and try again, the important thing is to not get morale down during the long synth breaks. I know 10 min is a long time but if something isn't going right don't use the synthed rockets to make the next run start quicker.

Solar burn wasnt that tough but this arc shit is something else

Quitters never win.

Just watch videos on YouTube with your team. The strategy is simple, all your team gets 7 ghorn rockets in their inventory and have a heavy ammo synthesis ready and all of you have blackhammer on also. Your team runs to the left immediately at the beginning of the round and you rush the servitor and two people unload their ghorn while the other stun locks skolas with black hammer then one of you switches with the black hammer go so he can shoot his rockets while you pop your synth and are also shooting skolas with black hammer then you pull out GJALLY again and finish him and go defuse all the mines.

This week it's small arms so I am expecting your next post after you beat him this time... Good luck... Muahahahahahaha

Should've brought a titan

What system are you on ?

lol We spent close to four hours in there yesterday and the day before..... I feel your pain bro. Its not even remotely fun. We couldnt keep him from teleporting directly in front of us every time. We would come out and all go left, by the time we made it down there he was already right in our grilles. I guess bungie saw the videos taking him out in less than a minute, and went and ninja buffed his movement patterns. We havent seen him stay up towards the front yet. Every time he was right on top of us as soon as we turned around. We thought it might of been glitched up, but unlike the raids, when you get into glitches you cant just go to orbit. you have to stay and take it or lose all progress......whos call was that? After last night, I would like to have a few words with him/her.

Difficulty is individually subjective, so one person who is better at the game than I am may think that Skolas isn't difficult at all, I would disagree on the basis that he is difficult to me, rather, neither of these statements are wrong, nor are they right in overall terms, they're just opinions based on our own individual performance. That is to say, flaunting at how good you believe you are at a game at the expense of other peoples' disdain only shows how childish you are.

The only thing I disagree with you is the skill level part, it doesn't mean you're bad at playing, you might just not play this kind of game a lot, other than that this game is easy, everything is easy to achieve as long and you know what to do, after that everything is a walk in the park in my opinion

oops, misread the topic.

Its possible. It really helps to have weapons of light to drop him that quicker. Ghorn really is key though, make sure everyone has 7 and a synth ready to pop. You can down him before the mines spawn

He is -blam!-ing arc burn and its -blam!-ing impossible

Skolas is much more difficult for 360 and ps3 players. 11 second loading screen to replenish heavy ammo? That is all.

[b]1.[/b] Before you face Skolas, make sure you have [u]3[/u] Gjallarhorns, [u]full[/u] Supers, and your heavy ammo synthesis cool down is [u]finished.[/u] [b]2.[/b] Run outside [b]together[/b] and immediately turn left. [b]3.[/b] When you black it to the Servitor, take it out as soon as you can. (Only one person needs to do this) [b]4.[/b] Place the Ward of Dawn in front of the door where the Servitor spawns. [b]5.[/b] Turn around and blast Skalos with as many Gjallarhorn rockets as you can get as fast as you can. Once you've run out, [u][b]call out[/b][/u] when you are pausing to use a synthesis. [b]6.[/b] When Skolas is on his last third of health, allow the player with the highest Agility to start running towards the mine whilst still turning around and shooting rockets at Skolas. [b]7.[/b] Skolas is dead. Place one player on the left, middle, and right parts of the map and wait for them to spawn. [b]8.[/b] You've done it.

Annoying part is the ads. One shot by a captain. Or that bloody scorch cannon.
