Taken King Court of Oryx Analysis

Hey there guys! I'm back again with an in depth analysis of a Twitch Reveal trailer. Let's dive right in! [url=https://youtu.be/ZPWo3lj0g34#t=0m11s]0:11[/url]: Another look at the Vanguard Cutscene. Now we see Eris get in on the action, and has placed her glowing orb on Cayde's map. [url=http://imgur.com/B2Mglnv]As seen here.[/url] [url=https://youtu.be/ZPWo3lj0g34#t=0m17s]0:17[/url]: [url=http://i.imgur.com/AkhyCFD.png]Six Guardians entering the Court of Oryx.[/url] Behind them we see a floating Monolith, but whether this holds any significance is yet to be seen. [url=https://youtu.be/ZPWo3lj0g34#t=0m19s]0:19[/url]: [url=http://i.imgur.com/slULDwS.png]Guardians running past strange crystals.[/url] We can see a bizarre design with the crystals shape, in which they almost look like the torso and head of a Thrall. The one on the far left appears to be glowing, which leads me to believe that you must sacrifice runes to the small dish in front of each Crystal. (For more on Court of Oryx mechanics, check [url=http://www.gamespot.com/articles/more-details-on-destinys-new-court-of-oryx-mode-an/1100-6430114/]here[/url]) [url=https://youtu.be/ZPWo3lj0g34#t=0m20s]0:20[/url]: This was a bastard trying to capture. We can see a white flash in the middle of the Court, and a small trail of fire on the ground before the entrance. [url=http://i.imgur.com/D8k9H5a.png]As Seen Here.[/url] [url=https://youtu.be/ZPWo3lj0g34#t=0m21s]0:21[/url]: [url=http://i.imgur.com/OJijX2q.png]Close up of the summoning Crystal/Statue[/url] [url=https://youtu.be/ZPWo3lj0g34#t=0m22s]0:22[/url]: [url=http://i.imgur.com/Y2Xfcrn.png]An Ogre with a white shield leaves a portal.[/url] [url=http://i.imgur.com/h5n4mEI.png]Seen again here.[/url] [url=https://youtu.be/ZPWo3lj0g34#t=0m23s]0:23[/url]: [url=http://i.imgur.com/eOx36o2.png]Public Event.[/url] On the left is a public event notifier with a timer counting down. It reads [quote]Kill Krughor, Alzok Däl, Gornuk Däl, and Zyrok Däl[/quote]. [url=http://i.imgur.com/FJ9FW87.png]As seen here,[/url] There appear to be one Ogre with a white shield, and three wizards surrounding it. The Ogre's name is "Krughor". [url=https://youtu.be/ZPWo3lj0g34#t=0m25s]0:25[/url]: [url=http://i.imgur.com/4b7q9d3.png]Taken Centurion boss in the Court of Oryx.[/url] This Centurion also has a white shield, suggesting that it may either be weak to kinetic damage or that is invulnerable while it's shield is active. It also appears to be coursing with green lightning. [url=https://youtu.be/ZPWo3lj0g34#t=0m26s]0:26[/url]: [url=http://imgur.com/Ws6et3Z]Giant Ogre Boss vs. Sunbreaker.[/url] On the right we see Taken spawning in, meaning adds will drop in throughout the fight. [url=http://i.imgur.com/EU7DWOh.png]Seen again here.[/url] [url=https://youtu.be/ZPWo3lj0g34#t=0m28s]0:28[/url]: [url=http://i.imgur.com/3Ix7rY5.png]Two Boss Knights at the same time.[/url] This had a weird mechanic I noticed. [url=http://i.imgur.com/Hnd5rrK.png]Here[/url], we see the Knight on the right is melee'd, while a bolt of lightning is shot from one Knight to the other. Also, the Knight on the right seemed to intentionally attack a cursed Thrall, as seen [url=http://i.imgur.com/AvnUulN.png]here[/url]. What does this mean? Who knows. [url=https://youtu.be/ZPWo3lj0g34#t=0m31s]0:31[/url]: [url=http://i.imgur.com/gQmPgcm.png]An Ogre smashes the ground while a Taken Wizard wathces.[/url] Notice how the Wizard's hands are glowing red? This leads me to believe that Taken Wizards deal Solar damage. Finally, I grabbed [url=http://imgur.com/vAbKsj3]this sword gameplay.[/url] This appears to be a different sword than the one revealed in the previous two streams That's it everyone! If you want to check out any of the other analysis I've done, I'll post them below. [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/150673935/0/0]Black Dog[/url] Catch you guys soon! P.S. Special thanks to AnonPig and the people over at Collective of Knowledge for all their help! Wouldn't be able to do this without them!
