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.

If you are on xbone? Me and my friend has helped numerous people with skolas and wouldn't mind helping a few more so let me know and I think we can help a couple more.
-
Mines and adds spawn at the same time.
-
Probs not. When I get ps4 it won't carry so I don't care too much.... Might force my friends to help
-
Skolas is the reason I won't get it....tried two weeks ago my team got his health down to a hair and we wiped......we tried a few more times and then gave up....
-
Mine got completed as soon as it was released
-
Edited by oz2ee: 9/3/2015 1:32:45 AMWife and 3 kids here.. I just now hit 33 because I had just enough time to join a group which I rarely do. I basically single play this multiplayer game.
-
Im proud to say ive NEVER wiped on skolas. I did him one time with my clan, and we did it with ease.
-
Speaking of... Anyone want to help me do the 35 Poe in like5 and a half hours? I tried this morning before work, got to skolas, did an attempt and had to leave or I'd be late
-
I will play all night tonight until i find a good team. I have done it a couple times already it is just hard to get 2 others who know or can learn how to do it
-
Crota hard. After trying to put a group together, gave up. Don't even care now and don't wanna play currently with all these upcoming changes.
-
Skolas is a scrub. And the only time he can't be beaten is when skolas is playing against his kin
-
Golden chests, to boring to want to even look up the locations
-
Skolas isn't to hard as long as you kill ads first you can do it. When i did it the first time my group and I just ran laps around the arena when we had the essence.
-
I beat it before it was even announced lol
-
It's because Skolas and I'm too lazy to find golden chests
-
I beat him today in an hour and twenty mins. The whole run. Scholars took maybe 30 mins
-
No, it's those damn golden chests!!
-
Edited by Jin: 9/3/2015 12:34:39 AMHe's easy-_- Takes like 30 minutes.
-
Ya I can't beat skolas to save my life
-
Edited by Coyote_x_Starrk: 9/3/2015 12:30:06 AMYup its because of Skolas (And because I am too lazy to find the last 3 Golden Chests I need) But its not because I [i]can't[/i] beat him. Its because I just don't see the point in beating him. There is just nothing I get out out of defeating him that is worth anything to me. - I don't want the shader - I don't care about the ship - I don't support the premise of PoE (I hate horde style game modes.) - I don't want any of the exotics. - The elemental weapons have very poor perks associated with them and in 2 weeks will be useless. Not to mention that the old elemental weapons are simply better. - I have 3 34 characters so I don't need the cores or the Etheric Light. All in all its just a waste of time and effort to me to do something that won't mean anything in a couple of weeks. I was asked by my friends to help them try and beat him twice but they ragequit both times. Other than that I have never bothered with it. And before the "Its because you can't" people come in I have had plenty of time to try given that I have had 3 34s for over a month and even IF it was because I couldn't I could have found some tryhards to carry me. Not to mention I would have tried more than just twice. I simply just don't care enough to bother with it.
-
I just haven't gotten around to getting the golden chests
-
All I have left is Skolas, but I'm not level 34 yet. Considering I only recently came back to Destiny a couple of weeks ago after several months away, I feel like I've done pretty good getting back into things. Hopefully I can do this before the deadline.
-
Lol all I need is to find 8 chests. Don't really care to do it.
-
It's because of skolas, the public events, and I'm too lazy to search for chests with shitty loot
-
Put him down today.....
-
Edit 3 - just listened to the great one take two skolas virgins through. I genuinely think I can do this now.
