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 84 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.

**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!

1 OdpowiedźEdytowany przez użytkownika slavko: 7/31/2015 4:16:36 AMYes, Yes, yes this is a good method, I've done this with multiple pleople, inculding people that have never done it and we had him down in less then 15 mins ever time. The only thing i do differently is shoot his health down to %30 and then just shoot rockets, instead of waiting for the mine voice, same thing really. 21 rockets and hes dead. Good post, hopefully people take it on board it can be so painful. There's a heavy ammo glitch video thats been around for a while and 15-20 min skolas video that gives you an idea of the field and method so you don't go in blind.

2 OdpowiedziThis works, we did this last night. The only real risk is first wave of mines which can get tricky, as we all know..

Edytowany przez użytkownika bordomsdeadly: 7/31/2015 2:36:42 AMI've done it like this since I first beat it. Edit: we also use infinite bubble strat against the pilot servitor.

Edytowany przez użytkownika ULiano_III: 7/23/2015 5:33:54 AMOr you could camp in the Left Hallway between the two doors. Kill Adds which come out of Furthest left door, All concentrate fire on door. Then immediately turn around and the closest left door same amount of adds come out. Then its simply fire at everything you see in Hallway and in distance. Skolas can only hurt you when He Is at the Farthest left side corner, just hide in a doorway and he will walk back behind the wall separating the hallway and the middle map. After Adds are dead. One person go kill servitor, and all Hit skolas then repeat until Adds come. Repeat the first three steps. Its easiest way with Poison. And when Mines come just all stay together. Have never had a problem with this even with strat Light Switch Mod. As long as you concentrate on the doorways when adds come your fine.

5 OdpowiedziEdytowany przez użytkownika Guardian9176: 7/26/2015 2:14:54 PMThe Funny part of this is you say that you'll only do one set of mines in the title when you clearly have to do more than one set in your "method" which is really just pretty much the same as every other method out there... Nothing original about this at all lol.

5 OdpowiedziThanks for this Guide, which helped us a lot! We killed him in our 2nd try. The key is to not communicate and focus on the adds! We used to orientate at Skolas´s HP to prepare ourselves for the mines: 1. If his HP is between A and S ( [b]SKOLA[/b]S ), he has nearly 50% HP left, the first set of mines will spawn at 50%. 2. if his HP is between K and O ( [b]SK[/b]OLAS ), he has nearly 25% left, the second set of mines will spawn at 25%

3 OdpowiedziI used to be a fan of rotating a ton in skolas until some randoms I played with showed me about staying in the room under the right side ledge. It's a pretty great place to hide while clearing ads (if you focus the sword captain quickly). Just thought I'd throw that out there.

1 OdpowiedźEdytowany przez użytkownika A-RoD: 7/30/2015 6:57:55 PMForgot skolas still existed
-
I did this method cluelessly first try on skolas and none of us had done it before lol. I was wondering why it was only mines once
-
Too bad 360 takes 2 mins to load to eat synth
-
2 OdpowiedziI hope I can find out if this works tonight
-
Not to sound rude, but that's what the burn strategies accomplish, except you do both sets of mines in peace
