Hello again people! Another week, another nightfall. This week it's The Summoning Pits. Personally my second favorite strike.
Again, stock up on bulletcakes before you head out, the ground ammo pick up bug looks to have been patched. Prepare to take your time again. You guys will hear that sentence a lot in these guides.
Start the Raid and make your way to the first objective. This objective is gonna be three waves of enemies. You want two people stationed at the doorway at the entrance to the room, one all the way at the top of the staircase leading to that door. Whoever is stationed at the top for revives might get a bit restless, but stay up top. The third wave has a bunch of wizards that will chase you out of the room and light you up when you head upstairs, so you need someone who can duck out of their line of fire. Clear the waves from the doorway, but once the wizards get agroed, the other two should pull back up the the top of the staircase with the reviver for the last group. You can also make ammo runs between waves, but be quick and don't go too far in the room.
When you get to Phogoth there are three ways to take him down. The faster the option the more risk associated with it.
All three options start the same way. When you get to Phogoth, clear all the adds in his room from the doorway near where the shrieker spawns. You can stay here until the adds are cleared and as long as he is chained, the shrieker wont spawn. Once the adds are down are when the other options branch out.
1. If you are higher leveled or feeling particularly buff, you can fight from the back left behind the different rocks. You have cover from Phogoth and the Hive ships, but adds will get super hectic and you will need to be on point with revives. Kill all add waves before engaging Phogoth, then crush him.
2.For the second option, after clearing the adds, hit Phogoth as hard as you can until he breaks chains, then retreat to the room behind the shrieker spawn. Heads up though, if you go back one more room, Phogoth regenerates all health because you cross into the circle of bones, also, the two hallowed knights will respawn and agro you. It only takes one person to reset his health, so be careful. Leave one person in the room behind the shrieker for revives. The other two will clear the add waves from inside the shrieker room. When the shrieker spawns, those two fall back to the third. It takes about 20 seconds for the shrieker and wizards he spawns to despawn, then you can move back in. Keep an eye on your radar, he will kill you if you stay in that room. Rinse and repeat until adds are cleared, then move in and take down Phogoth.
3. The third option is total cheese, I only mention it because if I don't, I know someone in the comments will. From the room before the shrieker it is possible to shoot phogoth through a tiny gap in both doors and slowly bring him down with relatively low risk. That said. I do not support this method as it will do nothing to increase your skill level or increase your teamwork. Not everyone plays for the same reasons though.
Happy hunting guys, Ill be back next week with another walkthrough!
