Anybody running a Normal Mode King's Fall? Getting left behind on TTK.

 

[Bogeypop]

I like the alt strat but I'd be worried about the 2 floating people running out of ammo weakening all 4 ogres.

But the fourth floater is always changing, and like RickyRozay mentioned, everyone else chips in when they can, so ammo shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Crota?

Meant Oryx. You still in for a Hard mode Oryx?

It has since been deleted, too. I'm glad I found it.

Reddit mods sound like the worst types of mods.

Hah yeah. My Hunter is 309 and like a few here I have no helm or gloves after weekly clears.

Super secret final boss confirmed? ;P

If only.

Edit: Forgot I just got gloves during HM last night. Dropped 307 NM version so there's that.

Can't get in a new match of crucible to save my life. Always jump in right after the first round of heavy when everyone is just getting their super again. Excellent matchmaking.

Thanks for the up to oryx HM run Lnkn52 and others.

Got a few notable drops;
318 gauntlets
314 rocket
310 machine gun

Just ticked over 310 now so hopefully another run next week will get me high enough for oryx.

 

[th3dude]

Running legacy strikes to level up my hunter and Omnigul dropped the warlock bond. Cool!

anyone doing any nightfall/kings fall/anything tonight?

292 titan here in Vancouver, got a mic and am not an idiot ... been stuck around 290 for weeks now because I haven't done the new raid yet though i've watched it. I have done the first two raids dozens of times but haven't been able to do King's Fall yet due to work. I'd be happy even doing one checkpoint to get my level up!

Hit me up if you need 1 more!

Alright, alternate strategy for Oryx:

1. Starts normally; 1 jumper, 3 on the platforms, 2 on the daughters platform (whoever the relic is above is the floater who can be on the daughters platform.
2. 3 on the platforms crouch on the back of their platform and don't need to do anything. 2 on the daughters need to weaken all the ogres (25-50%).
3. When the jumper calls out that he has the relic, everyone gets to the daughter platform that is opposite of Oryx. Watch out for that pesky ship. Start shooting the vessel once the relic holder steals the brand, but everyone switch to Oryx once he opens up.
4. Stagger Oryx, finish killing the vessel, and then 4 designated people (most likely the platform people) each call out when they are ready to kill their ogre. You have 30 seconds from stagger to detonation, so take your time. Once you get 4 "readys" kill them, the 4 jump down and detonate their bombs. Relic holder jumps down to the floor in the middle, and everyone groups up there. Keep shooting Oryx.
5. The rest is the same. Just repeat 3 more times and you have your kill.

Hope that all made sense!

Edit: And here's the video of our clear from my perspective. Apologies for the loud typing in the beginning.

TY for sharing this strat.

Well deserved.

 

[Mupod]

this oryx strat is fine but it's still completely stupid that one random death ruins the entire thing. Never liked raid encounters like that and FF14 was extremely bad for it because the raids were only 8 people. And in Destiny you can get killed by physics, bugs, lag, stupid bullshit etc.

ORYX DOWN!

Easy strat confirmed!

What light level were you and the people in your fireteam? I think I'm gonna try your method tomorrow, but we are all around 306-309.

 

[Lnkn52]

This new strat negates the new knights right after killing the ogres? If so, nothing new in the Oryx fight either. Lol

 

[saveweyard]

I believe the highest was 313 and the lowest 309.

 

[Wilde]

Take my spot with Burke, I had to run

Sorry Burke the missus hit enrage

So... looks like someone else took the spot.

 

[Kyoufu]

So the Knights don't spawn at all or what?

 

[Lnkn52]

So the Knights don't spawn at all or what?

They do but it's too late for them to stop the blights cause they detonated.

They're going to screws us and change the encounter cause it feels like we're not doing it the way they want us to.

 

[OkayRene]

312 Hunter trying to kill HM Oryx. I have Gjallarhorn Year 2.

 

[Kyoufu]

They do but it's too late for them to stop the blights cause they detonated.

But do they need to be killed?

 

[Lnkn52]

But do they need to be killed?

I think their sole purpose to stop the blights.
And they die when the blights go off anyways.

 

[LTWood12]

Thank you so much to the folks who discovered and shared this strat. Can't wait to get this done.

 

[Kyoufu]

gg

That's a wrap folks. Nothing changed in Hard Mode. lol

Will try and get it done tomorrow evening before Bungie's level editor has enough time to load overnight.

 

[TalentBurke]

Need one more for a fresh HM run. Psn KeanBurke
