What. The. -blam!- is this boss?
‘Ight, I wrote the original version of this at 3am coming off a string of close losses and in a very frustrated spur-of-the-moment mood, so here’s a spark notes version now that I’ve slept on it and come to a more reasonable conclusion over it:
- Hunting through a maze for the Minotaurs to get the DPS buff? Awesome idea. Could see it being a raid encounter thing. The maze is small enough that it’s not that difficult to navigate.
- Doing so on a 10-minute timer (6-8 by the time you chew through the knight) with flailing blueberries? Not so awesome.
- Making the final boss a Tormentor is aggravating. He takes heavily reduced damage if you don’t hit his crit spot, which is tough because he’s a squirrelly little -blam!- who likes to spam his leaping slam attack.
- Divinity mitigates the above issue, but needing to reach for a raid meta weapon is excessive. The fight is either an easy one-phase for the haves or hair-pullingly frustrating for the have-nots. There doesn’t seem to be much of an in-between.

8 Replies"They were simple" An that right there has been and will continue to be Destiny's biggest issue with it's content right now. Everything has become so simple. That the slightest whiff of needing to put forth a measure of effort warrants a complaint. Not everything needs to be hard sure. There's places for that across Destiny. Your comment about hoping someone has Div. If you have to debuff this boss for additional damage. Divinity isn't your only option. But since this community has a.......hmm what's the word? Nack for making excuses. I'll end on that note.

It felt like another artificial and unbalanced “challenge”. What annoyed me more was that it was probably one of the cheapest exotic missions I’ve seen tbh. Half of it is a deep dive, the other half is reused assets with the lights turned off and a timer added. The vexcalibur mission from last season was at least it’s own standalone thing. This was just….tacked on

1 ReplyGenuine skill issue.

They got lazy and recycled Nezzy. Couldn’t think up anything original. 😭
-
Make a firearm. Did it first try with my regular team. Divinity and thunderlord and retrofit.
-
2 Repliesmaybe just get gud because ohh not its not a a boss that we can melt in 40 seconds waaaaaaaa

[quote]- Hunting through a maze for the Minotaurs to get the DPS buff? Awesome idea. Could see it being a raid encounter thing. The maze is small enough that it’s not that difficult to navigate.[/quote] Their first spawn is always in the same place. If you know where they are you no longer have to look for them. After first DPS phase, all 3 spawn in middle where you do the DPS. Hope this tip helps you and anyone else.

I was using Levi's Breath on an Arcstrider Hunter with Assassin's Cowl and it worked great. Was playing with LFGs and we beat it on our second attempt sans Divinity. I'm actually pretty sure one of my teammates was using Queenbreaker. I don't think the fight is overtuned, it just sounds like you had inexperienced teammates.

The way to beat the boss is a good team,. When I did it , I was a titan strand, and 2 warlocks with chaos reach
-
6 RepliesWe had a div warlock with chaos reach, a void warlock with nova bomb, and a star eater arc hunter. We all three had briars contempt (because it’s intrinsic does more damage against tormentors). We finished with over 4 minutes left. Two damage phases
-
2 RepliesIt was ok but Bungie need to adjust the tormentors with more movesets the leap spam is irritating I don't mind the scythe swing with some jumping but back to back to back to back is annoying
-
Yah get a minute long damage phase...
-
2 RepliesThis post and ones like it are part of the reason why Destiny has lost its “challenge.” Not everything needs to be doable right away or beaten the first attempt.
-
Div and linears
-
7 RepliesThe timer is not tight. We finished it with a few minutes to spare, even with a scuffed damage phase. You just need a proper boss fight loadout.
-
It’s a tormentor
-
I believe this is a “skill issue” as you kids put it. It took my group two tries made the dumb hunter put on divinity and we used loa with a wellock and was fine.
-
The time limit isn't tight. At all. One strand super and a well can solve the opening knight boss in under 60 seconds. That's 9 minutes left to fight the tormentor. If you need more than 2 damage phases, all minotaurs spawn in the middle room so there's no running around looking for them. 1 tractor cannon and decent LMGs get the kill in 2 phases. This is way easier than people want to think it is.

Non issue fishing was more difficult than the acquisition of the exotic.

N ppl want match made raids.
