I have completed the oryx challenge 7 times now and the easiest way from my opinion is as follows:
1: have youre titan use blessings on top, its easier to avoid dmg and easier to take out 4th knight.
2: have youre runner use raze-lighter or the void exotic one (key to this tactic) he 2 shots the vessel with this sword so rest of team doesnt have to care about him.
3: after the runner grabs the relic, rest of the team goes up to the titan and wait there for the ship to pass.
4: jump down to the runner who should be waiting in the middle.
5: when its time to detonate orbs, kill adds and run to youre orbs without stepping in them. Make a countdown from 3 and then detonate. This way you are sure the 2 ppl in the middle has done enough dps for his chest to be open and people have time to make sure they are on their right spot.
This is the way i have found easiest.
Edit. People saying 2 titans with blessings and weapons are better, well ofc that is a given. But u wont/dont have time to find 2 titans 100% of the time

2 RespuestasEditado por This Could Hurt: 1/11/2016 3:51:58 AMRan the challenge 3 times this week. 2 Titans up top with weapons + blessing. Once 3 Knights are down everyone jumps to the top and the titans kill the 4th Knight . Ship passes and everyone jumps down. Ran it flawless with 2 different groups. Say what you want, but it worked great.
-
Ran it with a team that did an extra round (20 orbs) which ensured that oryx died. Wasnt too much more trouble, if your teams good enough why not?
-
If even I can complete HM, the strat must work. This one works, and I have the emblem to prove it. Good write up
-
I agree this is the best method
-
People will tell you bottom bubble is better, but it doesnt matter. Each has advantages and disadvantages
-
1 RespuestaWe always have two Titan up top. One weapons and one blessings. The people on the plate don't even bother shooting the ogre since it's unnecessary. All they do is snipe their knight then get off the plate. The last knight can be handled by the two Titans up top. It's fool proof. People make this raid way harder than it needs to be.
-
Where would I be without your tips?
-
1 RespuestaTop is easier if ur teammates suck can't kill the eye,I always kill my night and kill the same side's adds,make it easy for 2 ppl in the middle

2 RespuestasEditado por NoPants: 1/11/2016 5:39:35 PMDone it 4 times now, this is what we have done every time.....it's almost easier than normal or no knight strat haha. Mainly because the only time I seem to die is the explosion phase because someone decided to run too close to me or I catch myself on a wall.

8 RespuestasI've done titan role from both top and bottom, and bottom is definitely better. It's easier for everyone on plates to get there without dying.

1 RespuestaI'm never helping anyone with this again helped a Group yesterday had to Wipe 42 times never again -blam!- that

Editado por AcidRohnin: 1/11/2016 6:42:14 PMRun two titans at bottom. One with BoL and one with WoL. BoL needs enough orbs to drop two per round. One for relic part and one for shade. The titans in the middle should run ToM as well. They kill ogres and fourth knight unless the 3rd or 2nd plate holder get to it first. Then everyone focuses on vessel. Every knight and vessel should be dead right before oryx slams. Have a hunter pop a theather in the back to generate orbs. Once I'm shade if the BoL Titan isn't the last one in he should pop a bubble right away. Bonus points if they have a helm of st 14. Once shade is dead reset and repeat.
-
Great strat. Hopefully many people will heed this and succeed. One thing you didn't mention is the benefit of having a hunter tether the thrall at the beginning, to create orbs. Titans will need orbs to keep generating those bubbles. And a titan running helm of saint is a real boon when you get pulled into the shade. It will blind the thrall that manage to slip in.
-
3 RespuestasIt's probably easier with the Titan in the middle as some people can't make the -blam!-ing jump to the top & end up wiping!
-
2 RespuestasWow, that's like how everyone ALREADY does it! Thanks!
-
4 RespuestasIt is much harder to kill the ogres from the top...still not awful, but shooting their faces straight on from the bottom is much easier.
-
All your steps are good except first one, much easier and more beneficial to team to have titan middle. This way there is a bubble waiting for your teammates and you can all shoot 4th knight or ogre at sametime.
-
I ran top strat (I main a titan) every time, until this weekend. I find middle strat to be better overall for the team. It is much easier for everyone to get inside. Weapons and Blessings Bubble, as I traditionally use the Sleeper instead of ToM to melt Ogres. For detonation, we did the following: Begin a countdown from five as soon as you stagger Oryx for the final time. This is when killing adds will take place. At the end of the five second countdown, begin a countdown from six. It takes roughly six seconds to get from middle to ideal placement of orbs. the countdown should end ....3, 2, 1, Detonate. All those responsible for orbs should be hitting the orbs as you say detonate.

2 RespuestasEditado por Amadis001: 1/11/2016 4:06:39 PMAs a Titan I find it harder to kill the near ogres from up top. I prefer bubble in the middle. Also, it's a safer spot for people to quickly get to off the platforms. If someone misses the jump up onto the tower with the bubble, it's a wipe.
-
One change - #5. Once the adds are down, you should all be in the middle anyway. Count down from 3 and on GO, the 4 detonators run from the middle to their orbs, detonate, and run back to the middle. There's literally no reason to get there and wait for another countdown. All you're doing is increasing the risk of something hitting you (like Oryx, or more adds spawning). Apart from that, what you've described is my favoured way. You're more useful with a height advantage!
-
The reason for the countdown is not so the 2 dps in the middle do enough damage... It's for all 4 players detonate all orbs together, so everyone can make it to the centre on time. When 1 player detonates, the timer comes on when Oryx detonates. So if there's someone who detonates to early, than the other 3 players may die on their way back.
-
Always have radiance warlock on pad 1
-
This is exactly how I have seen it run, and it works every time. When people try to get crazy...[i]guardian down.[/i]
-
Don't forget at the beginning, don't kill the thrall that spawn. Have 1 person stand in the middle of them and lure them all together. Then have a nightstalker tether and a stormcaller kill them to generate a lot of orbs so that the titan(s) have plenty of orbs for the bubble. I also reccomend you have 1 sunsinger with self-res who can suicide rush the 4th knight in case anything goes wrong

1 Respuestayour* I would have let it go but you did it more than once. [spoiler]yes, I'm that guy. sorry. :([/spoiler]
