Tips for the Vault of Glass(Need to know!!!)

[i]Yes I know VoG is outdated and there really isn't a reason for this post, but there's a few things that piss me off when Im playing and I want more people to understand these tips so they may use them[/i] [b]Waking Ruins[/b] Left side is the most challenging sync plate, Middle is the least and Right is the lukewarm challenge Praetorians are the only enemy that can capture sync plates Be sure to kill enemies other than praetorians as well because they add up quickly It is possible to glitch past the door [b]Templars Well[/b] Vex cannot sacrifice to confluxes if they are headless There is only 9 spawn points for enemies to come out of and only 5 places hobs can spawn Most hand canons can one shot Hobgoblins and goblins in their crit spot Oracles are solid objects, beware rockets Failing to destroy all oracles in one round forces you to do that round again and makes the oracles stronger The relic is a solid object, do not try and shoot rockets through it The relic's super does a number to the Templar, if you successfully block enough teleports and are able to get it, dont wait till the shields go up, hit him with it! A secret chest can appear if you can kill the Templar without him teleporting [b]Gorgons Labyrinth [/b] Grenades, shoulder charges, going invisible, double jumping(floating, angel of light, blinking) all attracts gorgons attentions, please do not do this [b]Jump puzzle[/b] Take the right path to go to the vault of glass, take the left to a useless vex time gate You can blink across the puzzle, despite it seeming impossible Please leave the fireteam and join back if you are unable to get across [b]Vault of Glass[/b] After obtaining both relics, have the relic holder's guard the time gates and the other players focus on the regular minotaurs Pushing minotaurs into the portals will indeed have them teleport to the conflu No more calling out mars of venus!!! Look at your minimap, it shows the direction of your other teammates, showing which portal they're in You can shoot rockets out of the relic bubble, but you will probably hit a fellow teammate Atheon can shoot your grenade mid-air so be careful with tripmines When teleported into the future you can avoid the hobgoblins aggro by calmly walking down the stairs, if they're already aggro run in a zig zag motion they'll miss their shots(stairs work for Past as well) There are two strats you can use to kill Atheon, the big bang strat where you nuke him with rockets. Or the snipe strat where you silently snipe him. The big bang strat is a slower and more painful process, the snipe strat is much more effective. [b]Other[/b] In each area of the VoG one Red and white goblin will spawn,(we call them christmas goblins) they have more health than an axis minotaur and do a ton of damage The spirit bloom chest has no effect on what you get from the exotic chest, whatsoever

  • Good on you for taking the time to write this! The best raids are when everyone is LVL34...and nobody knows how to run relic in VOG or sword in CROTA! Or it just HAS to be a Lvl 34 relic holder for VOG or a hunter for CROTA.....REALLY!! Think everyone should read these and try it out. You'll be a veteran for sure:). Don't always listen to what people say has to be done. PS...you can do raids and POE without a Gally also....whhhhaaattt? True story

    • So I've done the vault of glass so many times I feel like I could do it with my eyes closed, but I've never even seen one of these "Christmas goblins" you just mentioned... If that's true then I am going to have to actively search for them from now on

                There's so much incorrect information here: -there are no "Christmas goblins" -in Templars Well, for those that can't count (OP) there are in fact 9 spawns, 1 left, 1 right, 2 behind Templar, 5 under Templar, not 4 as OP claims -Oracles do not grow stronger if you fail and restart that particular round -at the jumping puzzle, both pathways lead to the Vault of Glass -If you don't know the vanishing platforms, don't leave the Fireteam, ask someone and they will show you, the easy technique is to jump on first three platforms and then glide/jump to the opposite side -activating invisibility does not alert Gorgons, running past a Gorgon whilst invisible however will (unverified claim) -Blinking across Vanishing Platforms? I highly doubt it, you can triple jump, glide, fist of havoc, arc blade or use a sparrow to get across, I've never witnessed a successful blink jump across without using any platforms

                  • You don't need to stand on the sync plate once its white to open the vault, and often praetorians will follow you aggressively so you can kite them away from the plates a bit. Fusion rifles absolutely smash out oracles. Gorgons grow stronger and become immune to damage types after one is killed. Any class can make the jump across the puzzle after landing on only the first two platforms. Suppression grenades stop hobgoblins shields from activating. Can be helpful on mars to support the relic holder. Times vengeance infinitely recharges your super will active, hunters instead of golden gunning aetheon use it on oracles if you get teleported or supplicants if you don't. Your super gets no DMG bonus, meaning guns will be more effective against aetheon. Aetheon will stand still if everyone on the fireteam refrains from using rockets or grenades, making sniping his crit spot a breeze (especially with black hammer and weapons of light bubbble)

                      • Don't use rockets on Atheon, because it makes him move. Just use snipers and machine guns and you will down him a lot faster.

                            A few more tips. 1) If you are a relic holder in either mars, venus, or the templar fight, you can drop the relic for a few seconds to deal damage. Faster you get out of the time gates the better. No more than 5 seconds at a time. 2) When fighting Atheon and using the center platform strat. Everyone should be leaving the bubble with 5 seconds left to clean up harpies. As the relic holder this gives you enough time to jump back, do a 180, and shoot the relic super at Atheon. 3) Learn to move with the relic. Jumping and then using the melee button ( R1 on ps4 ) will allow you to move far better than running. 4) For some reason warlock grenades always deal bonus damage to atheon. I like to use fusion grenades on him as he spawns as we wait for the teleports. If left on the outside, pop atheon with grenades as you take out harpies. 5) On Atheon as a relic holder do not jump down the stairs on venus or mars just walk, this tends to not draw aggro as quick allowing you to usually take them all out with a ground slam. On Venus if the baddies have already pulled aggro on you before heading down the steps have whoever else is in the gate with you chuck down grenades at the enemies. 6) When on mars if the hobbies have aggro on you before heading down the stairs, run in a zig zag, they will typically miss their shots on you.

                            • Hunters with Celestial Nighthawk can fire off two Golden guns per Relic Bubble pop attacking Atheon. Just fire then back out of the bubble and re-enter to recharge and fire again!
