FINAL EDIT
I DID IT, HUGE THANKS TO "thegreatone147"
DONT GIVE UP GUARDIANS.
I'm not a huge fan of Prison of Elders, the time investment is too much for mostly crummy rewards.
When Moments of Triumph was released I was a bit wary of Skolas but thought I'd give it a go. I'd completed up to and including 34 so I was okay with the mechanics, but I knew the time investment would be large.
I made it to Skills in about 2-3 hrs...not bad I don't think. After a couple of hours trying to learn the mechanics and down him (and get a bit lucky) I had had enough.
Without checkpoints I've had to walk away, I gave the checkpoint out on the Forum. I have a wife and two kids, I can rarely find 6 hrs to spend playing Destiny.
So to those who have killed Skolas (after the burns were removed) well done to you and I salute you. You thoroughly deserve your emblem, hopefully Bungie with do a 'silver' for those of us that missed just one thing.
Cannot wait for year two.
See you out there Guardians.
Edit - Thanks for all the support guys and the offers of help. I have has some advice that makes me think going in as a hunter or a warlock may be a better idea. Who knows I may give it another shot.
Edit 2 - extra question, is it possible to clear enough of the ads, before the mines to make the mines a formality or do ads spawn at the same time as mines.
Edit 3 - I'm on PS4 thanks for all the help offers.

My buddy needs 2 chests on Mars and he's not doing it he simple doesn't care. Lol patrol too hard these days
-
Me and my friends did skolas last night. It took a lot of well time reraise to get around the poison. All we need left is crota hard.

I haven't gone around to beating him either. I just don't want to since everyone saying bad rewards. I'm on ps4 if anyone is up for doing it with me. Have never attempted poe35
-
Too bad you didn't try him last week. I didn't think I was going to get PoE 35 done. I just got back from being gone 5 months due to school in another country without my Xbox. I skipped almost all of HoW. I got 34 in 2 weeks of light play and did 35 PoE in maybe an hour or less with a friend and one random last week. I was so happy since I had all other moments completed since January.

Edited by Bah Weep Grana: 9/1/2015 10:15:29 AMSkolas isn't that hard. I've done it before and after burns. Burns made it harder. Git gud kid.
-
The whole of the 35 PoE takes around 2 hours! Skolas takes 40 mins top to beat.
-
I beat Skolas plenty of times before and after burns. I think it was harder with burns if you were attempting to down him in under a minute that is, which most of us that attempted it did do. If you want to do it dude hook me up and send me a pm and you can come through with my lot. Xbox one fella. It takes on average 1.5hrs and i'm sure some people do it quicker.
-
I only bothered with Skolas once, and that was the first week, while it was solar burn. After that, I didn't bother, as the rewards are crap.
-
I'm not gonna beat it cause fuçk gold chests
-
Hey if you're on Xbox hit me up. I can play on either console. Best and easiest way to do it is 2 Titans and 1 Hunter. If you need help with the mechanics I'll pm you. It's pretty easy and flawless way to do it, just need to be patient. Rewards suck but skolas himself should only take 20-30 minutes
-
you still got time bro

Edited by toucan1270: 9/1/2015 10:11:09 AMFirst time I did it was post-burn, with no mic. Had to dance to get teammates to lift debuff from me. It's not that bad, just have to have a solid plan and communicate constantly.

Edited by Cool-Caution: 9/1/2015 10:11:49 AMdone Skolas on Sunday. took around 1-2h in total. Skolas it self took around 15-20mins 2 do and we killed him 1st time we got to him (1st time i got to him was last week but got kicked cose of a server issue. ). we knew the mechanics behind him. got stuck on sound 4 a bit longer then i would like. but the captains seems to be ganging up on us. 4-5 of them charging us. and following us none stop 1st time i have ever seen them work as a team. We went in to POE 35 10mins after the 1st group of clan members went in. and we finished it 30-45mins before them.. we had 2 warlocks and 1 hunter. have to say the warlocks came in handy with the poison stage with self rez. Guess it all comes down to the team and communications.
-
Add me on ps4 and I'll help you in around 12 hours
-
With the right team it's quite easy. I've done it 5-6 times after the burns. But you aren't wrong. Why there was no checkpoints is beyond me. That pissed me off for sure.
-
Me and my friends decided to attempt it saturday for the first time ever. Overall only took an hour and a half. Just takes an insane amount of teamwork and communication.
-
sorry...not sorry. my only advice is do better
-
I got rly lucky with skolas since it was my last thing left of the triumph. Me and my friend who already done it 4 times were looking for a 3rd guy to do poe 35. Then I found a guy at skolas cp and needed 2 ppl And we beat him
-
It's easy if you have the right team :)
-
You can get it done. Just need the right team
-
No expansions soooooo :'(
-
I've got no chance haven't even got a point in my elder cipher it's so boring
-
i did it for the first time bout three weeks ago, and killed him first time. got the elder majiger too. if you need help im on the xbone. gt is same. msg me or whatever :p
-
Lol 6 hours? Only scrubs. 1 to 1.5 hours tops. With the burn it was So much faster
