As long as you pick the 5 (in case a bomb doesn't go off) runners before you start, it should be ok as long as everyones using builds with about 50% Agility.

1st Runner = Swapper
2nd Runner = Platformer 1 (swapper takes their place)
3rd Runner = Platformer 2 (swapper takes their place)
4th Runner = Platformer 3 (swapper takes their place)
5th Runner = Titan with Weapons of Light (maybe just kill Ogres on 1 side if you only need 1 or 2 bombs)

Wouldn't be keen on leaving ogres roaming the area.

You know me, I do love killing Ogres, I just wanted to keep them all to my own self

Well ok. I just prefer more balanced builds these days as Armour seems to be doing so little since the balancing patch. Are you using the Raid boots that buff Agility while torn?

Not on the Hunter. Only got those the other day. But I do have them on the Titan and Warlock. But I was quick around even before I'd the boots.

The extra armour and recovery are more beneficial. No point having agility when you spend over half the time in the Oryx fight stationary between the standing on platforms and shooting from the Aura.

From some of the PS guys posts here it seems ye tend to over complicate an awful lot with builds/strategies etc. Just drop that and get in and enjoy it

Will be on tonight to do Golg. I know Johnny Itchy Steve and Stone still need to do it (or did you's get it done last night after ?) so will you guys be around tonight as well ?

I didnt get it done anyway, I'll be on tonight at around 9:30 I reckon if people are giving a go at it.

Hope its Christmas week for IB. I can play a decent bit then. But I bet it'll start the week SLR finishes so the Tuesday after Christmas.

IB after SRL sounds right. It would be great if it was this week though!

Ger and Manad helped with the Black Spindle after you left. I also got the ship, much to Ger's dismay! I just needed a couple of runs to get used to it. Smacked the boss around with the sword, then kept sniping until he went down. That final room is a clusterf*ck. Enemies and blights have more HP when there are 3 in the fireteam. After that we did a bit of Trials to finish off the bounties I started last week.

I doubt I'll be on tonight. I'm suffering with a bit of manflu. But if I do get on, I'll definitely be up for Golg.

I'd say Ger was impressed by that

No worries. I'll send out invites anyway.

you did well to get the ship, always lots of stuff on reddit about you only get one chance to get the ship, some believe its bugged.

I'll be on later tonight if your stuck for numbers, give me a break from SRL

Well able to run relic, just a tad slow.

cableguy.ie

If it is that it has to be a different runner each till I will go sixth.

Mickeroo

Happy to help with golgoroth later too if ye find it hard to get 6.

Probably best to have the titans run last. Titans are the most useful for killing the ogres when you add weapons and blessing bubbles into the mix.

Or first so we can wipe straight away :P its hard to know what else they could put in though.

Be shocked if it was anything else, none of the challenges so far have changed the mechanics. Only other possibilities I can think of is maybe you can't have someone on the same platform more than once or all bombs have to be detonated every time (which would be too easy really).

never beaten oryx on hard mode, would it take 6 relic runs to beat him , say with an average team of 310 light, with Malice's/Spindles ?

No 4 runs minimum same a normal, the fight isn't much different apart from the knights spawning and the ads hitting harder.

TitianGerm

Maybe the challenge will be to kill all the knights. Those who run No Knight will be fecked

Can't be - as there are no knights in normal mode so it wouldn't work there.

Good point. Forgot about that

taking out the challenge aspect - its just a case of needing to be stronger (to not die) and communicating. It isn't really any more difficult mechanically, as you say.

Ogres still go down quick - just need to snipe the first 2 knights at least, can usually get the third with issues - 4th might need some help on as you probably won't have someone hardscoping them (2 in the middle for ogres means you can't).

Make sure you take a few seconds to kill ads from the middle before running to the bombs so they are safe to get to and BAM. Round 1 do, rinse and repeat.

If I'm on the second last platform I grenade and double snipe my Orge. Then spin around and double snipe my Knight. If the guys in the middle still haven't killed the last Orge I'll finish him off and then spin to the last night and grenade him. If I've time ill snipe him as well.

We always have one guy front and back dedicated to adds and they mop up the remaining knights while the other for kill the Vessel.

Similar to how i would do Knights strat.

If you have two in the middle (at least one being a titan with blessings) two ToMs will rinse the ogres fairly quick - especially if a warlock can chuck a solar grenade at them.

From the thrid platform I would help on my ogre - snipe my knight, and finish off the 4th ogre (if I can see him and he needs it) then run to the centre - then look for the last knight with the aid of blessings. one of the middle guys should also be on that look out too. I'd never snipe an ogre. ToM all the way.

Was running it that way at the weekend and it takes someone actually fecking up to not get it done - actual, correctable, mistakes. Sometimes you can be killed by ads, but if you are running it quickly enough it really shouldn't be an issue.

Actually, count me in. I need the Calcified Fragment. I'm still 2 short on my Warlock for ToM and I don't know which ones because I got a lot of fragments on my Hunter. So stupid you can't track by character.

destinycalcifiedfragments.com shows 45/50, but I only have 43 :mad:

I still need to do golgy, hopefully be around for 10 at the latest.

Sniping Ogres is very useful. If you are a little late to an ogre or an a platform - snipe him. It will stun the bejaysus out of him and stop him getting too close. If I am in the centre as a Titan I would snipe the ogres if we needed to make up time.

Thanks to boards clan GenericDreadhead who walked me through Destiny last night til 2 in the morning. Still cannot figure out what I am supposed to be doing. Don't suppose there is a manual Talk to this guy and then another in game......

muchtooold3 (read much_too_old) if anyone is interested helping a newbie to the game. My son shares the account early in the day so if you are PM'ing and I ignore you, that is the reason.

He's not the Clan. He's just a guy that hangs around here to much, like a bad smell

What Console ? I'll guess Xbox.

I think they meant Raids, Strikes, Crucible etc but I like your answer better

I was on 44/50, ran a tier 3 CoO with the lads and got the fragment, delighted. Got back to tower, no ToM, the site shows 45/50 but I now only have 44/50 :rolleyes:
