Hey guys my fire-team just completed the raid on hard mode last night and i would like to say the very last part is pretty challenging but definitely doable. It is key to have a full team that communicates well and also complements each other, ur gonna have to be able to call out things when ur in trouble and organize rapidly according to the situation. For example we had one of the members outside get teleported in and we quickly moved players around and told him what he had to do inside and who ever didnt get teleported (and was intended to) go back inside and help
Note that my fireteam was all level 29 players, 3 Defender Titans, 1 Warlocks Sunsingers, 2 Hunters and i highly recommend being 29 and spending those shards to get there cuz its worth the extra damage output and resistance to other enemies, like the snipers at the end stage will one shot any level 28 so be aware and think about it as an investment rather than a waste because the loot at the end is very worthy! hahaha.
In the last boss we had trouble to whom was holding the relic so we switch from a hunter to a titan holding it and also we had 3 ppl going in alone to kill all the oracles at first and we also switched to have only 2 ppl outside and then another one went inside to help. Yeah Those oracles are extra buffed, it took 3 shots from my fully upgraded VoG shotgun with the oracle disruptor perk to kill 1 (And thats a good thing i guess). 4 People went in the middle platforms where the harpies (supplements) cant get to you and the relic holder pops the shield where the boss cant hit you but you can hit him! Hit him hard and beware of using rocket launchers (i blew myself up 1st try lol) and when the timer hits about 5 secs i poped the shield (With Weapons of Light) to safely get to the back area in time and the other titan poped the another shield with Armor of Light (not really needed) and just took us 5-6 times doing the same think to kill him!
While in the middle platform if your relic holder moves even a little you could get hit from the splash damage of the boss so be careful where ur positioning there isnt much space thats why we have four instead of all 6 players there, the 2 outside are in charge of harpies cleanup. Keep a lookout for that timer (when the buff is active) so ur relic doesnt disappear and either u get killed by the boss or some1 who isnt suppose to gets teleported inside :/.
Well i have more tips for the other parts but this last 2 parts seem the most crazy! The step before this one we did one portal at a time take out one relic then divided into 3 groups of 2s, 2 in middle , 2 in portal, 2 holding portal and well i ended up just being inside the portal by myself cuz i told the guy to go help out outside and i grabbed the second relic and made it out safely. Although u might be blinded by then so u gotta be quick about killing the second boss so the relic spawns faster and also if u cant avoid being blinded have the other relic guy come cleanse you right quick or just wait for ur cleanse to be ready to use on urself, but if u do that find a safe spot u dont get hit while you are in complete darkness lol! It also helps having a titan pop a shield by the middle platform that spawns with WoL and/or AoL and by the portal cuz in the middle they get shot from every direction. I and the other titan put 2 shields in the middle and the other titan holding the portal put up another (It helps to be baddass titan :P)
Good Luck guys and Godspeed, anything else you want to know let me know
