We did it in 2 damage runs but you can extend it for as many runs as you need to kill him unless he enrages.
Use normal 1 orb strat, one gaze runner and everyone else in the pit. At 8 seconds left on the gaze one person in the pit moves to behind Golg and grab the gaze and then moves out of the pit to one side. Everyone gets out of the pit on 0 seconds as usual and the remaining 4 people get the gaze right away one after the other until the last person has it and they just run around until it is done. Kill adds and repeat until Golg is dead. Continue to have each member get the gaze each round unless you will kill Golg in that round before the primary gaze runner gets to 0. If you can kill him that round you don't need everyone to get the gaze.
The "Failed to capture gaze" message is the trigger that will cause you to fail the challenge if ever team member hasn't had the gaze. If someone dies with the gaze or before getting the gaze that round you will need to wipe. Warlock can self rez as long as they have already had the gaze or can grab it after they rez. If someone dies before the last round where you don't all need to grab the gaze that's fine as long as you kill Golg that round.
The video shows it done in 2 rounds so we all grab the gaze the first round but we just kill him the second round.
We did it again with lower light level people and had to do 4 rounds so the first 3 we all grab gaze and the last round we just killed him and we did get the challenge loot.

Noiprox let me see if i understood that correctly... because we killed golgoroth yesterday twice without luck and no rewards :( we did something wrong. Gonna tell you what we did and you can tell me -if possibly- what was wrong. 1st attempt: We tried all getting the gaze on 1st round without doing any damage to Golgoroth and also not breaking any bubbles. On 2nd round we started doing the 1 orb strategy as normal. 2nd attempt: We all got the gaze and broke all the bubbles without doing any damage to Golgoroth, then we killed him on the 2nd round with 1 orb strat. So basically what we were doing wrong was NOT hitting Golgoroth while doing all that? If i understood correctly, you all guys had the gaze, at #6 you all go down and hit Golgoroth as normal, right? And you have to do that as many times as he dies? Please reply :( Thanks

Was that on normal or hard mode raid? I assume normal mode if you were able to kill him in the 2nd round without doing damage in the 1st round. We were doing it on hard so it takes close to everyone with 320 snipers to take him down in 2 runs with 5 people putting damage into him. Challenge Mode: The challenge appears to be that each fireteam member needs to have captured the gaze once in each damage phase. You can use 1 orb or all 6, doesn't matter as long as everyone has the gaze once before "Failed to capture gaze" appears. If you will kill Golg before "Failed to capture gaze" appears that round you don't need to have everyone take the gaze, just 1 gaze holder will do. I don't know if you need to put damage on him each damage phase or not but it seems likely. See below for explanation of a damage phase. The changes to the normal 1 orb strat will be simple. When the primary gaze holder gets to 8 seconds on the countdown 1 person from the pit will stop damaging Golg and move to the back of the pit behind Golg or up on the middle ledges behind Golg and take the gaze at 1 or 2 seconds left on the primary gaze holder countdown. After that everyone out of the pit as normal and each of the remaining 4 people take the gaze as quickly as they want until everyone has had it, place 2 of the last 4 people on each side to make it easier and remeber you don't have to shoot the poison orbs, just run around until the next person has the gaze. After that continue as normal and do it all again the next round. if you have his health down and you will kill him in this damage phase just continue putting damage on him and don't have the second person move back to take the gaze from the primary gaze holder, just complete it as normal 1 orb strat. Let me explain the mechanics of the actual Golg boss fight the way I understand them, I'm sure you know the fight but it might help others and it will make it easier to understand the challenge mode above as I understand it anyway, we don't know the challenge for sure but this worked for us 3 times. Normal fight: The fight is based on damage phases. The first damage phase starts when you take the gaze by shooting him in the back and ends when you fail to capture the gaze. You have 6 orbs to use in each phase to put damage on him, after the phase ends and the adds are dead the orbs respawn. If one person takes the gaze and keeps it until the counter runs out the damage phase is over. You can keep passing the gaze between fireteam members before the timer runs out to extend the damage phase. 1 Orb strat: Clear adds and have 1 person get ready to take the gaze. When the other 5 are ready and in position take down one of the front orbs and have the gaze holder take the gaze. Other 5 jump down into the pit and stand in the puddle from the orb you took down (use titan punch or tethers with a weapons of light behind you to increase damage, tether will cancel titan punch so do a bit of damage before you tether if using sunbreaker punch first). Hard mode watch for one person getting the "Unstable Light" debuff counter in the bottom left and have them get out and away from the rest of you. Gaze holder counts down timer and tells you when to get out of the pit. Once the message "Failed to capture gaze" appears the first damage phase is done, kill adds and repeat. Hope that helps ;)

Yea we were doing Hard Mode, but it takes us like 3 DPS runs to kill him... so 3 plus the 1 without damage is 4 rounds total. Okay i get it, yea after watching a video i saw what you said.. in the video they suggested doing exactly that. Everybody gets the gaze and do damage on every phase. Is like normal kill, but instead of everyone leaving after DPSing him, one goes up, gets the gaze... and then start passing the gaze through all the team members. Then rinse and repeat. Doesn't seem hard, awesome! :) thanks.

Exactly, makes it easier, just takes a while and try not to die, you'll have to wipe if it's not the last round.

Yes.. get it! :) thank you Noiprox!
