Destiny 2: The Final Shape (June 4, 2024) Video Game • Page 129

end of night update: we may not have finished the raid lair but chorus team was 2-0 on a card

 

Did you guys get to the boss?

 

What’s a tip so we can beat him next time? What’s it like?

 

I loved the platforming earlier in the lair, and that cube part was pretty cool too even though I wasn’t on the team that beat it. Cuz Dylan booted me from the party.

 

That boss was ridiculous. Idk how we’re supposed to do enough damage.

 

Mechanically it’s pretty simple. But there’s a max of 4 damage phases and because of ads/not having the right weapons it seemed like we were never doing enough damage during the first phase.

 

had a blast last night, it was great finally playing with @VanMastaIteHab and @Cameron sorry i had to roll out but my BPD medicine knocks me the fuck out

 

‘Twas a good night!

 

Bug in the System heroic was the hardest solo thing I’ve ever done in this game

 

Should’ve picked The Up and Up instead

 

I did that one to unlock them. I was going back through to do the other two heroics you can do. I regretted it immediately. But seriously. Make that the hoard mode bingo.

 

I played for like 10 minutes and then I got bored.

I miss when all my friends used to play.

 

I pretty much only play because it's a blast playing with all the Chorus peeps

 

All the good vibes in this thread are so great, I’m so glad I started it way back when RoI was coming out. Y’all are the best.

 

Even just doing the story missions while you guys worked on the raid made the game more enjoyable honestly.

 

Tips on beating the raid lair boss:

you need to shoot all 6 lasers at him during damage phases. So let's say it's 2 voids and a solar spark at the solar location, put both void craniums in the void altar, have one person at the arc altar bring over the arc laser for DPS, and then bring the other arc cranium over to the solar altar, that way after you bring his shield down, the 3 shooting the sparks can use the rest of their lasers on the boss, the person who brought the arc laser over can damage the boss, and then there will be 2 extra lasers at the solar altar ready to be fired at the boss. That plus rockets did the trick for my team last night, we were able to take him down pretty comfortably on the 4th damage phase


It wasn't worth it imo to try and do 2 damage phases before the void readings spike

 

Yeah charging 6-per-phase is the way to go. I didn't even know people were trying to do two DPS phases before the Void readings spike; seems like it's not even worth it because you don't have enough time to trigger it and also you probably have no Power ammo or Super energy either. It's definitely going to be possible to three-phase this fight on Normal once everyone is at 335 with the correct loadouts. Last night I was actually in a group that had three Nighthawks, three fully-charged craniums every time, and everyone with cluster rockets. We were pretty much perfect in the first damage phase, where everyone also had full Power ammo, and took down a full third of his HP even with everyone under 330. It's only going to get easier to do the stronger everyone gets.

Another tip: unless the bombs are one of each, you should always charge a full three on the side you will be at to DPS and a full three on a second side. That way, you can maximize the number of minotaurs on two sides and make Power ammo farming between DPS phases easier (the more craniums charging on a side, the more minotaurs spawn there).

Example: DPS will be at Void, and there are two void bombs and a solar bomb. So charge three at void and three at solar, then have three people in each position to farm Power ammo and have the three at solar bring those cannons over to do DPS with the max number available.

 

He's 100% right about everything. Can't blame him at all.

 

I already paid for all of the Year 1 D2 content, so I'm going to stick with it, but man they're going to really have to show me something to get me excited about paying for whatever comes in September.

 

How are people progressing with the forged weapons, so far I have three of the 4 available this week.

 

Guess who left their controller an hour away at their parents house this past weekend

 

Better not be you, Mr. Dyl-igent

 

Grinded an unhealthy amount to get them all. Scout rifle is good in PVE, SMG Is decent because you can change it from a 900 RPM to a 650 RPM in the perks. Pulse and Hand Cannon are kind of mediocre.

 

I’ll go pick up another after work don’t worry.
