Majority of it is doable at 303/304 to be honest. Not sure you'll have much luck getting a group but I can do it with you and if you get 2 or 3 drops you should be at 310

Oh man, are they already making people have like 310 as a requirement?

That'd be great though if it's not too much bother!

Some do but thats mainly for the final bit. 303/304 is fine for the vast majority, by which point you should get some drops to take you towards 308/309

Ah ok. Well, it's not like I expect to do the whole thing when we do it anyways. If we beat the Warpriest I'd be fairly happy as that'd be two chests there. Dunno if Golgy is much of a step up from the Warpriest but we can see anyways.

Nice one, you and Damien have been hitting the raid hard recently i've seen. Is it much different to normal mode?

Not really, which is good news.

The Portal
  • Nothing different
The swinging pendulums
  • Nothing different
The jumping tombships
  • No platform checkpoint halfway through
Totems
  • Can't revive
  • A lot more knights spawn
Warpriest
  • Can't revive
  • Warpriest absorbs different powers depending on which monolith you stand behind when he calls the Oculus
  • What we do, which makes this pretty easy is have three on the left, three on the right then when the glyph sequence is input and the aura is taken, go to the right, then the middle, then the middle again if need be.
Golgoroth's cellar
  • Nothing different
Golgoroth
  • Can't revive
  • If you're in the puddle, one of you at random gets a debuff which essentially turns you into a cursed thrall. If you see it in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, get as far away from everyone else as possible and none of you will die. If you stay near other people, they will die while you live
Last jumping puzzle
  • Nothing different
Daughters of Oryx
  • Can't revive
  • After you've given damage to one Daughter and another person is randomly torn, the countdown starts immediately
  • What we do, which works well is after the first person has got the relic, everyone gathers on the little ledge on the platform opposite and downs the Daughter (easy to do with a bunch of Malices). When the Daughter is downed, there should be time to kill off adds while in the aura. Once the second person has got the relic, go on top of the first Daughter's platform and kill the other one. Advantage of doing it from the top of the first Daughter's platform is that a Titan can put up Weapons of Light to give that extra damage
Oryx
  • Can't revive
  • When you've killed your Ogre, a light eater knight spawns which you have to kill or it'll eat your blight

Ah cool, just a few differences and the whole can't revive thing as well. Important to try not to die as much as possible then really!
 
I still need to get my 310 artifact from doing all the Taken Wars quests. Found this on reddit, from a bit back. Anyone know if it works? Would save me a lot of time if a friendly friend helped me out. (at some point anyways :) )

https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyThe..._can_skip_a_majority_of_the_taken_war_quests/

My friends and I managed to find a way to skip the first two missions of Taken War: Earth, Venus, and Mars to get access to the Road to King's fall mission. This will make it easier for your alts or even your main if you haven't done it to get access to the quest for the raid to get a 310 artifact quicker.

Notice: We don't know if there is a way to make this method even shorter or if the order even matters, but this is the way we did it and it works.

Step 1: Make sure you have Taken War: Earth and Venus in your quest log. (Just need to have it even if nothing was done in them) Edit: (A friend just confirmed that you don't even need these in your quest log but if you have them just move on to the next step)

Step 2: Join a friend's game that has done Phobos "Fear's Embrace" and join him/her. Finish that mission. (We joined a friend that already completed the entire questline and had access to all the missions)

Step 3: Go back to the tower and you should have access to "Blighted Worlds" from Eris now.

Step 4: Go join your friend again and complete "Kings of Decay" on Earth which is the last mission on Taken War: Earth.

Step 5: Go join your friend again and complete "Entropy's Pinnacle" on Venus which is the last mission on Taken War: Venus.

Step 6: Go to the tower and you should now have access to the first part of Road to King's Fall from Eris.

Step 7: Complete "Summoner's Circle" on the Dreadnaught and then go turn it in to Eris for the final raid quest for the 310 Artifact.

That's it, you're done in just 4 missions on any alts you may still have left to get it on. Just to reiterate, this is the way my friends and I did it. There may be other ways to achieve the same effect. Good luck out there guardians.

Edit: Doing this gives you "Road to King's Fall" which is the raid quest to beat the raid bosses to receive your 310 artifact.

Edit2: A lot of people seem to be confusing The Road to King’s Fall quest with The Old Hunger quest. The Old Hunger quest is for the Touch of Malice questline and doesn’t reward you with a 310 artifact.

Also, skipping the taken war quests doesn’t bug out the game or anything and you can always go back and redo the first quests of each questline for the legendary marks if you want to.

fecking sweet, i've put off those quests because they seem like a lot of fecking about to be honest. Will definitely get them done provided a kind person is available to make it possible. Happy days.

I can help you out on a few the next few days when I'm on. :)
 
Apparently the Zhalo supercell is on sale from Xur.... Only I have no strange coins :( Going to grind hopefully to get some before Sunday

Prison of Elders 28 gets you like 4 or so each time apparently. I only had enough for the Graviton Forfeit so if I get time I'll try and grind out a few for the Zhalo too.

I have 2 keys so that should help. Did the nightfall, I got 1 strange coin while another guy got 17 :lol: Taking the piss.
Levelled up dead orbit twice through motes of light though so am at 9 total... Going to be a long day .

I wouldn't beat yourself up if you don't manage to get it, it's not that good.

Thanks! The bounties look achievable anyway so even if don't get a high number of wins in a row seems straightforward enough to get rewards from doing the bounties

Yep, that'd be my aim as well. Bounties are doable so can get the rewards for them if nothing else!
