Do all the missions possible, then just grind strikes or do the court of oryx and eventuallly you will have 260 odd light. Shouldn't be too difficult.

What is the court of oryx? Don't think I've seen that

ArmandTamzarian said:
I was like that maybe a week ago, frustrating when you lose those crucible games for the marks. Just keep at it then when you're able to do the strikes/heroic strikes keep at them & you'll see your Legendary marks fly up, I just spent about 75 of them on Monday, by wednesday I had 40. You'll also unlock questlines that offer marks as rewards when you do the storyline missions

Thanks mate - will do some more of the story - I haven't got far. I've been playing prison of eldars mainly for the strange coins (ready for Xur)

Thanks for that Damien. No chance I was going to finish that mission by myself.

No problem, enjoy the gun

@Damien @Dargonk Try this, Start up a party chat dargon and solo till the boss, Damien waits in orbit until boss and then he joins your fireteam, if you get to boss quick enough you might be able to trick the game into spawning less adds ?

I haven't tried this personally but i have been wondering if it would work since it started.

Doubt it'll work. We've given up for now anyway. I'll be on this evening to try again for those who will be on.
 
Just got the exotic solar sword :drool: Impossible to do it properly unless you have everyone going for the same sword really.

Yeah, last week I initially attempted it without getting likeminded swords beforehand. Saw it wasn't working and looked on LFG to start one with all solar. Last week the solar and void wardens were the boomers, don't know if it was the case for you today as well.

Ill do it with you.

I have a Helm of Saint 14 titan, the only way to do it is to jump up on the platform the boss spawns on, pop a WOL blinding bubble, kill him with swords, the nuke everything else after the boss kill.
Assuming its the daily.

Keep playing the strikes and missions, they will drop you alot of gear and weapons. everytime you hand in engrams, make sure your light level is at its highest possible, then decrypt engram.

check the light level and if its higher than anything you have equipped then replace equipped with the new item. do this before you decrypt any engram.

Reason being, the items are predetermined, but the light is calculated during decryption.

Solar one was a boomer, don't think the other 2 were. We killed them pretty much instantly.

Up to 306 now, have raid assault rifle, raid sniper and fusion rifle, exotic sword (310), exotic helm (310), raid gauntlets and chest, raid mark, a 310 artifact (not sure if it's from the raid) and raid shell. Just need the raid boots which are currently only a rare and 296, looks so out of place.

you got it damo?

Yep, that was so horrible. Got to the last room with like 6 and a half mins. Me and another had exotic sword (I was in it as a Warlock with two Hunters, so didnt even use a bubble strategy) and just kept jumping up, whacking him with it and dying. Managed to kill him with like 3 mins left and took most of the remaining time to clear the adds.

Will happily help anyone else stuck on it and can use a bubble on my Titan, though I don't have a Y2 helm of st 14

I'm ready to do it now if you're up for it?
 
Nearly did it that last time, those fecking psions are a pain in the fecking arse.

I've just hit 290. I need a better Ghost. I've also got a 294 exotic helmet going to waste. Is it possible to trade? Does anyone want to trade?
Click to expand...
Unfortunately not. What light is your ghost?

Just done the last step of the arc blade exotic :D and got the Darkblade helm drop with it too. Now just to do the final step of the void blade one..

280.

You'll get one that is higher no problem. Took me a while, then I got lucky by getting the raid shell from my first attempt.

Productive day:

So for the black spindle, seems I won't be on before reset. Can you select the mission and run it at heroic and get access to the side mission part. Or does it actually have to be the daily?

Not sure but I think it'll have to be the daily as I don't remember seeing any posts on reddit about being able to access it on a non-daily day.

I'll upload a video later showing my successful attempt. Was basically getting into the last room with about 6 mins to spare. One Warlock (me) and two Hunters. I and one of the Hunters had the Raze-Lighter and that Hunter used his pocket sand to make us invisible (I forgot and ended up cancelling the invisibility at one point) then we went up and whacked the boss until he killed us (which didn't take long) and kept repeating that.

On the attempt that was almost successful with fresh and Ducklegs, I was a Titan and used the armour of light (went for it over the other two as it makes you survive for longer and can just whack him). We got the boss down but was about 15 seconds short of killing all the adds. For that attempt we kept on top of the blights too and that worked relatively well, though the damn captains kept firing the dark stuff at us.
 
It has to be the daily.

Can I blame United for me not getting it, was in a fireteam doing it and came off to watch United and they got it next try (we were so close before as well).

Got Golgoroth done easily just using the one bubble way rather than all six. Tonight we will hopefully finish off the daughters of oryx.
 
Rather shitting it has to be the daily. Ah well, hopefully I'm about next time it crops up. Sword method sounds the easiest I feel. Should at least have my titan for it by then as well with an upgraded Helm of saint 14.
 
282 light now for me, took me a while to get a Heavy weapon good enough to upgrade my sword to 283 light but got the 5 Heroic strikes Quest done whilst doing so. Got a pretty nifty rare Sniper Rifle, at 293 light too.

What do you guys all do with your year 1 Exotics? do you keep them for the Crucible & try to upgrade them or just dismantle em for the shards? I've got Hawkmoon and Invective & im a bit reluctant to get rid of them, Ive got some exotic armour in storage too that i'll probably never wear...but they look so cool :( I think I might be a bit of a hoarder when it comes to them.

Here's my successful Spindle attempt. Don't think there's any audio as for the most part I have it turned off so I can hear party and stuff better.



Into Room 2 (0:59) - 9m 08s left on clock.
Into Walker room (1:18) - 8m 49s left on clock.
Into passage before Boss room (2:41) - 7m 26s left on clock.
Into Boss room (3:09) - 6m 59s left on clock.
Boss killed (6:22) - 3m 41s left on clock.
Done (9:42) - around 20s left on clock.
 
We get the boss down to around half health within 30 secs, just not having great planning or a Titan which resulted in it taking 'so long' for the other half of the health to go.
