| Iveyboi said: Attempted the raid for the first time yesterday; what an awesome experience! Made it through the first area no problem. Then the Templar area gave us the rude awakening. We were struggling with GETTING to him (destroying oracles phase) but eventually did it. We died against him 3 times and he fell off an edge and died haha! The Gorgon Maze and Jumping Puzzle weren't too bad due to guide. I even got an exotic auto rifle from a chest. We did pretty well with the first 2 phases of Aethon. In total made it to the final fight in 3 hours. We then got slaughtered by him for 90 minutes before giving up (we know the strategy it is just so hard to survive in the portal). We are going to try the ledge glitch tonight to finish it. |
If I can help with tips in the portal part.
Desert (Mars): Nothing to worry here... to be fair if you get it random everything you will be fine... one guy get the Relic and the others two just throw their grenades at begining focusing only on Oracle after that... with the grenades the Relic guy will deal easily with the three enemies (if they didn't died yet) and after kill them just back to unblind the Oracle guys ;)
Jungle (Venus): This is the hard part due the Minotaur... the Relic guy can't kill him without break his shield... so I have two strategies and both start with the two others guys throwing the granedes at start and after that:
1) If you have a guy (like me) that can kill a Minotaur in five seconds then this guy just go kill the minotaur and back to kill Oracle... while that the other guy stay killing Oracles and the Relic guy deal with the others two easy enemies.
2) If you don't have a guy that kill Minotaur easily then one Warlock needs to hold a NOVA bomb from the Aethon... so it just thows granede and NOVA bomb to kill the Minotaur and back to kill Oracles... to be fair the NOVA bomb will kill the three enemies... so the Relic guy won't have trouble and the other guy just throw a grenade and start to kill Oracles too.
In both cases the Relic guy after all enemies (3) killed just needs to unblind the others.
It is no that hard... I kill Minotaurs in 5 seconds with three Arc Fusion Rifle shots... maybe four if I miss the full damage 
... NOVA bomb with three projectibles kill all the enemies too.
The outside group deal with Harpies and open the portal... the Harpies are really weak... just be sure to jump when they go fast in your way... when you jump it will exploded behind not damaging you.
After that you need just to use all you strong damage weapons on Aethon everytime... SUPER, Upgraded Rifles, super fast Auto Rifles, Upgraded Rocket Launchers (ohhhhh Arc Rocket Launcher can kill the Minotaur in Portal fast too), Infinite Grenades (Sunsingers), etc... you will need to enter three or four time in the portal.
I found it way more easy than the Tempar.
