My name is SorrowSong and I am a proud member of DoD Beyond (ps3 clan).

Full version found in the link at the top of the post *** [b]Prison of Elders base version is level 28, offers matchmaking,[/b] and is composed of 4 rounds of 3 waves of enemies followed by a 5th Boss round. There are 9 possible modifiers, of which 1 is chosen at random for each round. In rounds 2 - 4 the 2nd and 3rd waves offer Critical Objectives which must be completed or you wipe. There are 6 possible bosses of which you will fight 1. [b]Successfully clearing the 5th round will open up a Treasure Room with 3 chests.[/b] The two small chests on the side will give you minor rewards and a chance at a Treasure Key. The center Exotic chest will requires a Treasure Key to open, and will give you a slight chance at an Exotic piece, Queen's Wrath armor / weapons and other minor rewards. The first Exotic chest you open with a character each week has a high chance at an Exotic piece. [b]There are also 3 "Challenge" versions offered.[/b] In the level 32 and 34 variants the enemy types are fixed, but the modifiers are not. In the level 35 version both enemy types and modifiers are fixed, and you have 2 modifiers per round. [b]Completing the level 32 version[/b] will get you an Armor core which can be turned in with Varris for a 42 light armor piece. The 34 version will give you a Weapon Core which can be turned in for a 365 weapon and an Etheric Light. The 35 version will give you both an Armor Core and a Weapon Core along with an Etheric Light. [b]Note: The guaranteed rewards are on the weekly reset.[/b] You can only get 1 per character per week.[b] The chests however, including the Exotic Chest are NOT on any kind of Reset[/b]. You can continue to farm them so long as you have Treasure Keys. [u][b](>^.^)> Trials of Osiris <(^.^<)[/b][/u] *** Still working on the full write up, this is a synopsis *** [b]Trials of Osiris is a 3v3 Elimination match where the objective is to win 5 rounds by killing every member of the opposing team.[/b] If a team has not won a round in 2 minutes there is an "overtime" of 30 seconds where the object is to capture a control point which spawns in the middle of the map; the team which captures this or stands closest to the center of the control point when time runs out wins. [b]To enter the Trials you need a Passage Coin which you can buy for 100 glimmer[/b] from Brother Vance in the reef. Once you rack up 9 wins or 3 losses your Passage becomes null and void. You need to get a new passage. [b]You get rewards for the number of Wins on your Passage Coin.[/b] The most notable are an Egyptian themed armor piece at 5 wins and a ToO weapon at 7 wins. [b]If you win 9 matches without a single loss on your Passage you get a "Flawless Victory"[/b] which enables you to visit the Lighthouse, a new area. In it there is an Exotic chest with a guaranteed Adept version of a ToO Primary weapon (randomized elemental type, otherwise the same), along with a high chance at an Exotic piece and or an Etheric Light and some minor rewards.
