So while doing this weeks Flashpoint on Io, I played this particular event four times. Every time, there were guardians who apparently did not know how to trigger the heroic version and who where unknowingly working against their fellow guardians trying to get better loot and a faster Flashpoint completion. This made me very angry, but instead of complaining, I decided to post a little reminder for those that are oblivious to what other guardians are doing. When the event begins, a huge Taken blight will spawn in. To trigger the heroic version you will need to damage it, even though it is immune to damage. To do damage you need to step inside one of those taken shield bubbles and quickly step out again. DO NOT DESTROY THE BUBBLES! This is the common mistake. You don’t even need to kill the taken enemies, unless they are too aggressive. Once you step outside the bubble again , you will have a buff called. “Blight Receding”. This buff will last for about five seconds and allows you to damage the central blight. After the buff ends, just do the same thing again. After a certain amount of damage, the blight will retreat to another location on the map. Once you found it, do the same thing. This will repeat until you dealt enough damage to the blight and a taken boss will spawn in. Kill it and you have completed the heroic event. Yay! That’s not that hard, just a little hard to find out if you never question why the event turned heroic or if you never watch what other guardians are doing. Hope I helped those that needed it. (late)EDIT: 1. Apparently, the blight is easier to kill if you only shoot it in the last “round“. Thanks for those that informed me because I did not know that. 2.I‘ll try using Wardcliff and see if its better, thanks again:) 3. I know that this and other heroic events may seem poorly designed because there are no clues on how to do them, but that’s the point. They are supposed to be secret and “more rewarding” ways to complete events. And certain people have figured them out in like the first weeks or so of D2. Now all you have to do is google or watch what others are doing. If that’s to hard for you, than heroics are not meant for you. But they are supposed to be secret. 4. For those that say that people that don’t know how to do it don’t read the forums: At this moment I have read like more than five replies saying that I helped them and even that is enough for me and justifies this post, at least for me.
