Hunters can solo this the easiest, but here's a few methods that always work: - There's a rock next to the pillar you can jump on even with Weight of Darkness to avoid Thrall. It takes some time for the Ogre to get to you, so you have plenty of time to snipe away at him. - If you fail to kill him, there's another method I found accidentally. Standing on the rock and facing the ogres direction, to the left should be a cliff that drops back down to the lower level of the First Phase. I was attempting to avoid Thrall on my Titan, and I fell off the cliff and thought I died. I fell back down to the lower level and survived, and from there, I pretty much just waited out the time until I got my abilities back. There will be no monsters down there. - Use a lot of invisibility. You can also aggro the monsters to a certain spot, go invisible, then hide behind a rock somewhere. Also, make sure you have max agility. Having MIDA with max Agility works very well, too. I am fast enough with MIDA to get far enough from the Thrall after going invisible so that they stop chasing me.

Run it each week

have dont touch me's on and patience and time. Literally invisible the whole time.

It's pretty easy as a hunter. But it's even easier as a titan. Just pop a bubble in a rock and your good. Or if you have the helm of saint 14, just pop in on the ground where the ogre can't see you. The thralls will be blind and won't attack.

Congrats, it's a bit sweaty on hard first few times.

Ive soloed the lamps on hard 3 times in 4 attempts (practice) the key is invisibility and drawing the thrall as far away from the bridge as you can - go invisible and hide behind one of the pillars next to the bridge. Done

Recently me and a mate were double teaming the lamp section, tried to jump off that rock to the ledge to be honest. We failed so attempted the normal way. A couple of cloak fails got me killed but he survived (warlock). Eventually, he started bunny hopping down the trail. For some reason, his constant jumping was avoiding the thrall attacks. He literally hopped the whole way, and at some point the thrall abandoned him so he was able to freely get the bridge up and kill the ogre. We were able to do it a second time, but it doesn't always work as I think it's dependent on the thrall being behind you at all times. If they come at you from the side, their swipes will start hitting you.

bruh, thats easy af. i'm a 32 warlock and I can do that.

[quote]This is a quote from "The Ben obiwan", who posted this on a Bungie update 2015/01/22. So far it has 3500+ comments and bumps. At 2500 Bungie hid the post. To show support, and to show that we do want change, I move that everyone starts posting this to the forums, for as long as it takes them to listen. Fill the forums with nothing but these posts!! Force them to hear our voices, and to listen! Change starts with us! Keep this trending people! And make replicated posts! Spread the word of "The Ben obiwan!" “The update we'll never get- "We listened to the masses, and are making some changes to the game. 5 million people bought the dlc, so we have plenty of funds to make this game fun again! We are doubling vault space, hell, lets triple it, what do we care? You can now trade your useless ascendant mats for other things, 10 to 1 for radiant mats, 1 to 1 for marks. Survival mode added. Its really fun, and you get more loot the longer you stay alive. Grimoire is accessible in game, so people actually read it. As you complete sections of the grimoire, cut scenes are unlocked, revealing story points, it was always there, we just forgot to put it in. You can now change your characters appearance once a week for 10,000 glimmer. We made some really fun bounties for you to try, because we are sick of the same crap since launch as well. You can now add modifiers to any mission, and complete it for rewards suitable to difficulty. Of course we don't want every single core player looking identical, the outfitter can help. You just need the armor that has the appearance you want and the armor that has the stats you want. Take it to the outfitter with a chunk of some materials or something and BLAM you have sweet, unique armor, it's so -blam!-ing simple, I can't believe we didn't have this in since release. Crota's End sparrow can do tricks. We agree, all those low impact auto rifles and pulse rifles are like shit on a dick. Nobody wants it, so we added some decent/balanced ones. We fixed all them annoying bugs, like the sword disappearing, heavy ammo synth not working, and the Templar random containment fields. Queens Wrath is coming this week. Turns out there is [i]not[/i] a problem with YOUR network, it was OUR problem [i]all along.[/i] lol. Oh, and 5 more strikes are available, just because we are rolling in cash, and we want to thank you, the customer, for being such a sport, and believing in us." But instead Bungie just carry on, completely oblivious to core problems in the game. Why do I look forward to reading this every week? This could get 1000 bumps, it won't make any difference. I don't think they even read the comments. -the Ben obiwan[/quote]

Ive ran this multiple times as a hunter for my team. The last time though even with invis and hiding behind the bridge rock they found me.... not sure how?

I did it as 31

Sniper with high impact stunlocks him. Just e careful not to shoot too fast or he'll fall off the edge and reappear over on the left side.

Do you have black hammer? That should do the trick.

Another user posted a video today as a lvl 31 hunter using blink and popped his super to make the jump up onto the wall at the second lantern. Dunno why I never thought to try it but it will make getting to the bridge a lot easier

I can do it without jumping in anything just using my invis subclass. I have don't touch me but I don't use them cause I haven't upgraded them xD

This hunter just ran around in circles the entire time and managed not to die, whole raid group was very impressed :) and as you can see in the video a few seconds in you'll see the ogre purple laser thing, so yes he didn't kill the ogre. http://xboxclips.com/Yolo+Swag+Andy/da1d64bf-56cb-4127-8e21-68e0ee7d98ca

I used don't touch me when I went through it. I had to do it as a level 30 because my gear wasn't the best. It was really difficult and took forever but I did it. 5 different ways to turn invisible.

Patience and Time is what I've used to perma cloak as a Titan.

Did this on my warlock inches away from failure. Got the pulse rifle

Did it first day as a lvl 30 hunter! 2 shards was my reward :(

I did it today too on hard solo! With my level 31 Hunter. I got the pulse rifle and gauntlets! Edit: I tweeted about it @PharaohNiwde.

The Mida Multi-Tool really helps running from lantern to lantern, you shouldn't get more than 2 stacks of weight between each one.
