King's Fall Raid - Oryx Damage Question

Edit: I'm saying a can't damage Oryx enough to beat him, and people are telling me to use Touch of Malice, a gun that you can only get by beating Oryx. I'll see what I can do. But seriously, thanks for all the responses. My clan will test things this week. Some people are saying high-impact snipers, and others say to stay away from snipers and use primaries or machine guns. EDIT COMPLETE, BACK TO ORIGINAL POST My clan finally got together last week to do the raid. It was great to figure everything out on our own, and we're finally REALLY into Destiny for the first time since VoG! The problem is we didn't beat Oryx. [spoiler]We couldn't stagger him when his chest opens.[/spoiler] So I'm looking for guidance on that one little step. I'll post my clan's strategy for the Oryx fight below: [spoiler]Everyone has assigned pillars, we have a floater, and an "aura" runner (the Guardian between dimensions). We all move up toward Oryx at the very beginning to quickly clear the thralls and two knights that spawn, and then everyone gets to their positions. As soon as Oryx picks a side, the runner follows. After Oryx slams the pillar the runner is the first to jump up, followed by the Guardian assigned to that pillar. All other pillar Guardians follow suit in the correct order. The runner starts ascending on the platforms while the pillar holders and floater take care of the ogres and adds. When the runner makes it around, they drop and steal the brand from the yellow bar knight.[/spoiler] All of the above works perfectly fine for us. We can make it to this point EVERY time, but then things go wrong. With that said, if we've already made a mistake, please let me know. I'll post the real troublesome part below: [spoiler]As the runner I was killing the yellow bar night in two exotic sword attacks right after I stole the brand, and then I switched to a sniper rifle to shoot Oryx's chest. The whole group meets in the middle, in the aura/shield thing to focus on Oryx as soon as his chest starts glowing. We would all be hammering away, but we couldn't stagger him! We wiped every time! So I noticed we don't get crit damage on Oryx, so I thought, "what's max damage without crits? ... Rockets!" A few of us switched to rockets, but that meant it took longer to focus down the yellow bar (because I didn't have my sword anymore), and the rockets still didn't stagger. So, what weapons are you using to stagger? We have 3 Titans, do we need WoL bubbles every time? Is there a way to get crits? Maybe I just wasn't hitting the exact center?Is it better to quickly kill the branded knight so we all get focused on Oryx sooner? Or is the sword a wasted heavy by using it only there?[/spoiler] Thanks for any help! The sad part is we know this is only the first part of the boss encounter. I know we'll figure it all out, though. Edit: A lot of people are saying my light level is too low, but I had the Oryx mask on for shits and giggles last night. I just equipped all my best gear, and that makes me out at 301. However, I'm not usually 301 in the Raid because I change my gear up for each situation. I'm usually around 299 in the raid. Is that high enough? This is only normal mode, we got this.

  • Alright the exact routine that my clan and group uses every time. 1: take the thrall and knights out at the beginning of oryx (simple easy and should be done no problem) 2: assign platforms to individuals 3: when oryx slams fist designate 1 relic runner who constantly platform jumps to get the relic then slams the knight to take his brand. 4: have one person constantly patrolling the middle on ogre control (you want someone who has a high impact weapon (black spindle, defiance of Yasmin, a good lmg, sleeper stimulant hits hard to, with touch of malice. I personally use this setup (touch of malice, defiance of Yasmin, quillims terminus.)) side note. There only needs to be three people on the platforms for the platform jumping section, there will be one person that has a relic icon above there platform, that person can help the ogre controller in the middle with killing the ogres. 5: relic runner grabs the relic comes down from the middle and steals the brand from the knight and runs back to the middle between the pillars the death singers are on. (Make sure all ogres are dead you don't want to wipe because you didn't kill the knight in time) by the time you kill the knight oryx should have slammed his fist and you should be ready to shoot him in the chest. 6: oryx stun phase. Once oryx slams his fist it's about five or so seconds after he will open his chest. ( when he opens his chest there will be a black blight in the center, focus fire on the blight with sniper rifles (high impact. Black spindle, defiance of Yasmin, touch of Malice, 1000 yard stare,) just keep focusing on that blight in the center of his chest till he stuns 7: as soon as you stun him the next part starts. As you kill the lighteater ogres they will leave behind a blight where you killed them. (You kill the ogres during the platform jump to get the relic) ok back on track, as soon as you stun oryx EACH person goes to the blight on the se side as there platform, you have to run to the blight detonate the blight (wait for your name in the bottom left corner it will tell you when you have completed) as soon as you detonate, run back to the center before oryx kills you. There should be two people in the middle doing damage to oryx and four people detonating blights. (The two people in the middle can continue to shoot oryx in his chest and do a little damage. 8: oryx will fall down the side of the ship (nope haven't beat him yet) he then goes back to the original area in which he spawned. At this point he will push off the pillars (everyone go back to their original platform) you will have to run in circles around your platform for about 20 or so seconds don't stand still you will get killed) 4 guys run circles around their platform 1 or 2 can run up and down the middle. 9:repeat steps 3,4,5,6,7 10: you may have to repeat step 8 here depending on your damage to oryx 11: repeat steps 3,4,5,6,7 12: this time after you repeat all of the above steps again oryx will move back to his original spawn point. And he will summon a black bubble, he will spawn 1 person in randomly at a time into the bubble, when you spawn into the bubble your focus is going to need to be on the echo of oryx who hides in the shadows on the outside of the bubble until he charges you, ( when he charges he will hit you with a sword AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS) if you don't kill him quick enough then you will wipe, as people are spawning into the bubble there will be taken thrall that spawn on the outside. The focus of the people waiting to spawn in must be killing the ADS that spawn and keeping them out. Once you kill the echo you will spawn back on the dreadnought. 13: repeat step 3,4,5,6,7,12 14: by this time oryx should be literally no health. When you see this he will move back to the original spawn point one last time. He will open his chest again, as soon as you see him open his chest, unload everything you have in your special ammo and heavy ammo into the black hole and kill the son of a beetch. 15: congratulations you have just defeated oryx collect your loot. Hope this helps man
