[quote]Ok. So I've seen a lot of Skolas Guides already circulating. Unfortunately they are not stating the "easiest way". I'm not going to explain the poison, dismantling mines, or basics like that. I'm just going to point out the Easiest and fastest method. (Killing Skolas and only having to worry about 1 set of mines.) I have killed Skolas at LEAST 6 times minimum every single week since HOW dropped, so this is purely from experience. (I play all the endgame material on my girlfriend's account too) that's at least 60 Skolas Completions between the two accounts. You DO NOT need a titan, hunter, or warlock, you DO NOT need a Gjallarhorn, any mix of classes or rocket launchers will do. Weapons and Blessing do help, invisibly does help, self res does help. So does gjallarhorn, but nothing is a necessity. Any 34 that can communicate is all that is needed. (I've even killed Skolas with 2 33s that have never done it. Communication is key) 0. Eat a heavy synth (yum) 1. Run out to the left 2. Kill Servitor 3. Burn Skolas with your rockets until he gets to close 4. Run to the right ledge and kill Second Servitor 5. Burn Skolas again. (If you don't break the bonds, kill another Servitor and Keep hitting on Skolas until you break the bonds.) (SKOLAS HEALTH 70%) *Bonds Broken (Skolas life Between ,/K) 6. Poison... Just kill Adds! (Rotate if needed, always try to stay on the opposite side of Skolas.) 7. Once all adds are clear you should be able to eat another synth. **Do not shoot anymore rockets! 8. Shoot Skolas with primaries/secondaries only! 9. If adds start pouring out focus all fire on adds. 10. Repeat 8, 9 until the first set of "Dismantle Mines" hits. (SKOLAS HEALTH 50%) *Dismantle Mines (Skolas life Under A in Skolas) 11. Once the first set of mines are clear, just focus on adds, rotating when needed. 12. By this time everyone should have max rockets and adds cleared. 13. Now just focus primaries/secondaries at Skolas. (*no rockets yet) *depending on his health, if adds start pouring out before the second set of "Dismantle mines" happens stop shooting Skolas and focus on the adds again. 14. Now that the adds are clear, by this time you should all have Maxed rockets and maybe even a heavy synth ready. 15. Focus fire (primaries/secondaries only) until second "Dismantle Mines" comes up again. (SKOLAS HEALTH 25%) (Skolas life Between S/K) 16. Soon as you hear "Dismantle Mines" - here is where the Rockets come in. Burn him, and burn him hard, eat a synth if needed. (You have 10 seconds before the first mine spawns) 17. You have now killed Skolas before the second set of mines spawn. *Dismantle second set of mines in peace. 18. Claim your rewards Key here is for *everyone to have Maxed rockets and maybe even a synth ready before the Second set of mines are called out. Shooting him with primaries and secondaries until he calls out the second set will ensure you have enough rockets to kill him before the mines start to spawn. TIPS *Always clear adds, make it a priority. *Only shoot rockets after bonds are broken if you are sure you'll have 7 when he hits 25% health (ammo pack on the ground...). *If your going to die, try to die as close to the edge of the arena if possible, for an easier revive. *Stick together as a group & Pay attention to the poison; the only one that should split up from the group would be the one who just [i]passed[/i] the poison. *Rotate alot, always try to stay on the opposite side of Skolas. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/130935586/0/0 **FUN FACT (Skolas when Solar Burn with Gally) - 10-12 Gallys to Break Bonds - 36-38 Total Gallys for Skolas @ Full Health to Death Good luck! EDIT: Added a few more notes. EDIT 2: Few More Notes EDIT 3: Typo *Thanks for all the Likes, if this benefited you in any way, please Bump it.[/quote] Easier method. Empty primary , Secondary, Heavy. Equip ice breaker. Run out to right . Kill all adds with ice breaker till the floor is purple. Normally takes about 5 mins. Kill servitor and equip rocket launcher use heavy packs to pummel skolas until dead. Dismantle mines in peace and quiet. Collect loot. Doing skolas the way it was meant to be is boring as sh#t and a waste of time. PoE is by far the most tediously boring thing they have put into the game. I really hope they put some decent mechanics in for ttk. Vog was so much fun when the game came out. Crota was ok but nowhere near as good and PoE is just plain awful .

"Don't need a gally"

This was the strategy I used to kill Skolas a while back. Definitely very effective and I recommended it to anyone who has not yet defeated Skolas.

I do the same thing with my friends and with good communication and keep working at it this method really works. The most important thing is to clear adds the second that you see them, it makes dealing with the fight itself much easier. Classes don't matter too much but it helps to have one blade dancer A LOT. They make mines so much easier. So far the best combo I've found was a blade dancer and 2 Titans for almost non stop bubbles on the right ledge and invis for mines/ revives or anything. Warlock, Hunter and Titan works really anything will if you work at it. With enough practice and repetition you'll be able to get the technique down and soon you can burn through skolas in less than 25 minutes

Two hunters and one warlock with Max galleys will be the easiest team

I want to try this with others who read this post
