From the looks of it you're trying to solo content that's made for 3 people. That's the start of your problem. Legend isn't meant to be soloed. Try again with a full fireteam of 3.

Pretty sure this is the hardest content in the game right now. Finally did it today with a couple of clan mates after getting dc’d on Brakion yesterday with no option to rejoin my fireteam. We wiped on the last sliver of health of Brakion twice until we stopped being boneheads and used a well. Absolutely brutal… Then we decided to try a Master Spire for some artifice armor (while being under the cap it provides which is 1820… two of us were 1815 maxed out)… it felt easier than Legend Avon. Even though we didn’t complete it… contest RoN was way easier.

It is a challenge and feels over tuned. Beat it but I have no desire to do that dumpster fire again. Then you got this other person in here saying legend is easy when they only completed the normal version 😂🤣😂🤣.

I played as a fireteam of 3 and it took us 90 minutes, we were not under levelled beyond whatever it's capped at. The whole "scaled according to fireteam" is ridiculous.. GMs aren't scaled, what's the difference? The Hydra boss room and the final boss room were absolute slogs. Brakion would give us about 10 seconds of DPS before he brought up his shields, followed by 3 minutes of clearing ads to get the symbols, which left us with no heavy/special ammo absolute dogshit experience If more Legend playthroughs are required for the Vexcalibur catalysts then count me out, horrible

It's hard enough to force you to have a strategy, but that's it. Chain wells, fight from cover, and move as a team. Kind of like a GM

The Legendary difficulty admittedly feels overtuned and should probably be adjusted a bit, however at 1815 as a solo Warlock I have been able to get through the mid boss encounter on Legendary after coming up with a decent build and strategy, allowing me to secure the first two Catalysts to this point: Obviously having a high resilience is a must as the enemies hit hard and fast. Equipping Concussive Dampener and Void Resistance mods helps to mitigate the damage from the Wyverns, while a Sniper Damage Resistance mod helps with the Hobgoblins that appear throughout the encounter. I ran a Well of Radiance Warlock with Healing grenades and Healing Rift; on top of this I comboed Vexcalibur with Karnstein Armlets to get a slow drip of near-constant healing during the mote collecting phase along with on-demand Void Overshielding. I also used Chain of Command with Adrenaline Junkie and Demolitionist as the selected perks. - Starting out the encounter I take out the loitering Harpies with Vexcalibur’s ranged shot to build up the Guard meter, and begin to build up my Void Overshield as the headless Goblins begin to spawn in. Using Vexcalibur’s melee attack to take out the Goblins to obtain the motes, I make sure to begin guarding if my Overshield drops at any point so I can try to get it back up to max with my next Glaive melee kill. Once I have obtained the requisite number of motes I deposit them in the spire (while either guarding with Vexcalibur or dropping a Healing Grenade as needed to endure the Hobgoblin snipers. As soon as the floor gives way and I drop into the hidey-hole I hug the wall and position myself directly opposite of one Hobgoblin sniper so as to take them out with Chain of Command (this reduces the worry of having to deal with the grenades they lob into the hole while helping to restore a small amount of grenade energy for my Healing Grenade if needed). As the timer ticks down to the ten second mark I’ll drop a Healing Rift while continuing to hug the wall as I have Vexcalibur at the ready, using its ranged attack to knock any Wyvern I see off balance to momentarily slow their attack while also having the option to guard and build Overshield if necessary, which pairs nicely with the Rift I place earlier. After dropping through the subfloor I repeat the sequence to spawn the Hydra mid-boss. Before any enemies load in for the damage phase I quickly switch out Karnstein Armlets for Necrotic Grip. This allows me to spread Poison damage to the many Harpies that appear, taking out many of them without too much effort while moving between bits of cover along the lower (outer) ring of the arena. As necessary I will also switch to Chain of Command to drop the yellow bar Harpies that hang out on the raised platforms trying to shoot me from afar. Once enough of the Harpies are cleared I’ll move up toward the inner ring and drop a Well of Radiance to focus damage on the Hydra. Once Well of Radiance fades I drop back down to the outer ring and refocus on clearing Harpies with Vexcalibur and Necrotic Grip until I either have enough breathing room to sneak-shoot the Hydra or have refilled my super to drop another Well of Radiance. Getting the boss through the first damage phase I switch back to Karnstein and collect motes again as before; once both collection phases are over I switch back to Necrotic Grip for the second damage phase. This damage phase is much like the first except with the added wrinkle of a pair of Minotaurs that spawn to rush my position (luckily Vexcalibur makes short work of them). Using the same strategy of clearing Harpies before damage focusing the Hydra I’m able to then clear this encounter as a solo on Legendary. - I’ll close by reiterating that I agree the Legendary version of this mission is overtuned and could do with some tweaking to make it more accessible, however I wanted to share the above strategy so more players would have a chance to make successful pushes for the Vexcalibur Catalysts in the meantime.

It's not easy but my opinion solo is the way to go they have the old health of x3 instead of the new one meaning for each player the enemies basically double in health

Yeah. I can clear it myself. But it was in no way fun. I'll be waiting for all the unlocks and do it once more. It's not worth the time.

Haven't done it yet. Is it harder than the Seraph Shield Catalyst quest from last season?
