[b][u]STEPS TO THE RAID![/u][/b]
Form the bridge, go across and fall into the starting hole!
[b]STAGE 1[/b]
Chest:
[spoiler] After you enter the abyss, walk down the hall towards the first lamp. Before that, turn left down a dark corridor with a small white/orange light above a doorway. The door will open when you go near it if the chest is in there. My friend got the new exotic sniper.
EDIT: it's a random spawn in the doors.
EDIT 2: This chest seems to be similar to upper gorgon chest. It contains class items, upgrade materials, and a chance at exotics. Comment if this is wrong or other things come from this chest
*might contain raid set gear*[/spoiler]
You will be in a dark tunnel surrounded by thralls and cursed thralls.
Weight of darkness will stack up to 10 and you can't run.
Move as a tight group from pillar of light to pillar of light.
Avoid the holes in the ground!
Stay at each pillar till around x6 so you can sprint again but not long enough for it to turn red and explode!
Once you get to the end section there will be a circle on the ground that forms a bridge.
Defend the bridge from 2 ogres and knights.
When the bridge forms run across and there will be an ogre on the other side.
Run past or kill him and continue down the hallway.
[b]STAGE 2[/b]
At the start there will be a similar circle and 2 temples.
atleast 1 person needs to stand on each temple and one to form the bridge.
A SwordBearer will spawn and drop a sword.
1 Person use the sword and cross the bridge.
YOU MUST KILL THE GATEKEEPER! if it kills you, its a good idea to wipe.
Repeat that process till 3 people are over to the other side!
Then, on the other side 1 person must stand on each temple and 1 on the circle to hold the bridge up.
The people stuck at the beginning can leave the temples and kill a swordbarer and cross the bridge one by one.
Each person that comes over has their own gatekeeper that they MUST kill.
Once everyone is over, clear out the enemies and progress.
Chest:
[spoiler] The chest is located after the bridge encounter with the gatekeepers, right after the gauntlet with the shriekers and before the drop to the summoning crystal.
There is a door on the opposite side of the hole where you drop down. You have to be fast in order to make it in before the door closes, but once you're in you can open it from the inside. I used Bladedancer and Vex Mythoclast with Lightweight and ran up to each of the invisible walls while my teammates killed the adds and Shriekers, double-jumped over the hole and slid into the door just as it was closing.

(Hallway with thralls and shriekers)
Just move down the hallway killing the shriekers and setting up titan bubbles to defend against the bombs that come out afterwards)
[b]STAGE 3[/b]
(This stage requires trial and error)
There will be two witches on opposite sides in the room above you where you come in.
You can draw them out and kill them as a team.
After the witches are dead there will be shriekers that you cannot damage until the witches are dead.
Kill the shriekers and then proceed to the main Witch.
YOU MUST KILL THE WITCH BEFORE The Liturgy ends!
[b]STAGE 4[/b]
Start the stage by activating the crystal.
Send one person out to grab the Chalice.
As a team go back to the underground doorway and defend the entrance.
Focus fire on the SwordBearer until the sword drops.
Send one person out to grab the sword and head towards Crota.
As he is heading to crota, the team needs to do enough damage to him to take down his shield and bring him to his knee!
The sword guy can get 2-3 swings on him while he is down if timed right. Run back to the underground passage.
Rinse and repeat.
IF THE CHALICE IS DROPPED OGRES WILL SPAWN. LATER NEAR HIS DEATH OGRES MAY SPAWN, RUN BACK TO THE END OF THE UNDERGROUND HALLWAY AND SNIPE THEM WITH ICE BREAKERS!
IF ONE PERSON DIES YOU WILL DIE IF YOU DONT KILL THE BIG GREEN EYE BEHIND HIM QUICKLY!
IF THE SWORD GUY IS LVL 31 IT GIVES A 50% DAMAGE INCREASE!

5 RepliesYou DO NOT HAVE TO KILL GATEKEEPERS. We did it without killing one. You do have to get four across to spawn the Wizards and ogres, and you must kill them.

Edited by naturl selexion: 12/10/2014 9:23:46 PMWe did stage 1 with there people. The first uses blade dancer at highest agility and essentially sneaks past every lamp only needing to kill a couple thralls. He usually waits on top of the lamp for a bit before proceeding. At the end he is over-run and killed. The other two follow behind, there are no thralls to bother them. When they catch up to the dead blade dancer they revive him and he makes a run for it. It's a little hectic at the end but totally doable with three. Titan shield is helpful for the revive.

Thank you so much for sharing. This will certainly be helpful once I attempt it later on this evening. A total of four of us has attempted this last night to experience how the new raid was like and damn it is totally different compared to VoG. We didn't even pass the first part as it was getting late for everyone that had work the next day, so your guide will be extremely helpful for us to experience the next part (The complete darkness for the first part did not help with trying to stay awake lol)

Thanks

Thanks!

8 RepliesAm I the only one that feels like Titans really shine in this raid? Flashbang nades and bubbles FTW! Team having trouble killing gatekeepers? Titan nades. First one across uses their flashbang nade to kill the gatekeeper easy. Then for every other person that comes across he offers blinding support. Team having trouble killing all those thralls chasing you? Fist of mutha -blam!-ing havoc (with shockwave). Though a voidwalker could likely do pretty well here too, if the lock would ever stop being a sunbro. Team having trouble killing wizards and shriekers? Weapons of light! Team having trouble keeping health during Crota fight? Blessing of light! I feel like I hardly saw any other class even use their supers. TBH the team I was with that went the farthest was 4 titans strong though lol.

Wow those videos at the end are super helpful, thanks!

great info, thanks.

9 RepliesWhat weapons hit the hardest in the raid and the final boss? What should I look to max as far as legendaries and exotics going forward? Also arc or solar? Does void matter?
