  • Mission Statement

    Here to have fun and group up to do raids, crucible, weeklies. Prefer if you have some skill to boot, but we can also help you get there as well. Overall we are a good group of people. We tend to kill it in crucible and the skills in raids are well tuned as well. We tend to do Iron Banner each time as well. Being active is a must as there is no need to have members simply never on. I understand on once or twice a week and so on. If you join and have some friends that are cool we will be willing to add them. I aim for a manageable size of about 50 clan members. We are mostly night time players US times.

Vault Of Glass Guide (Videos)

------ 1: Sync Plates to Open Vault Door ------ Facing the door upon spawn is where these directions will match. Also this is a pretty easy step in the VoG raid. Left Sync Plate: Most chaotic and should have most experienced or well geared up guardians. Center Sync Plate: This is normally a placid defense job. Placing a lower level player here is a good idea with one strong player. Right Sync Plate: Not as bad as the left side. So a good pair of guardians works well here. Notes: It helps to tell the center sync plate positions that a Praetorian is on its way. Saying (side) Praetorian to Center helps to identify the direction so they can prepare. Few really call out this clearly but and just saying Praetorian... can be confusing. Also stand in front of the sync plate or away from it while getting the Praetorian's attention. Normally they are drawn to the guardians. ------ 2: Con-fluxes ------ On the way here grab the chest. If you did not lose a synce plate take the secret route under platform right of the door. To keep this simple have the same pairs as sync plates handle the same positions. First con-flux is in the center and the teams teams will stay at the front of the platform in the respective positions. Occasionally look at the center con-flux during this run. Second phase will have two con-fluxes towards the back of the platform on the left and the right. Clearly the left and right team know where to go, hint left and right. Only as the left conflux gets hit really hard the center team will help them mainly. One floater in case right conflux needs help. Third con-flux will spawn all three con-fluxes and you must watch your own. Very rarely is there a guardian that is legendary in skill and gear to help everywhere. So do no count on it. Best advice is survive and share supers to build up orbs and stay sharp. Use rockets carefully. Left side you will be hammered the most, center some what, and right side is normally the easiest to handle. Note: Please do not melee the glowing green goblins ever... Also if you step in the green goo or get kamikaze by a fanatic goblin go the bottom of the stairs to the pillar of light. Hope you live...normally you will. Oh and keep cool and communicate calmly. The whole raid it seriously helps the environment. ------ 3: Oracles Time ------ I will try to keep this simple. Left side you will have one oracle to the left where the con-flux forms, on the stairs behind the con-flux spawn and what I refer to as pocket left oracle. Important if doing the sniper method just before jumping down for con-fluxes. These are you duty on the left side. Right side you have a total of 3.5 oracles to watch. One guardian will be on the left side of the platform near the Templar. Watching for one that spawns right there and also help with pocket oracle across the way. The other right guardian will be watching for one down the stairs and also in the middle of the Stonehenge looking spot. Lets call this Vexhenge... maybe. It is much easier when the job is split between the right guardian team like this. Center guardians have one that spawns right in front the stairs towards the front of the whole platform. Other wise you will help cover the left stairs and right stairs and other visible areas without leaving the central zone. Note: If any of these oracles are allowed to live they will process you out of existence by marking you with the green goo effect. So like before run down stairs and into the pillar of light and hope it is there. ------ 4: The Templar ------ There are several ways to do this. I will highlight a very successful KISS strategy that is somewhat old school as well. Back in the day we did this before the platform trick since patched. First I will explain how to use the relic and this applies to every instance you run into the relic and this is the only spot I will explain it. - How to use the Relic - LB: Held down will create a shield. This is for cleansing if marked by any void effect. Also only need to do this for 1-2 seconds. RB: This will swing the shield forward and if you jump and keep pressing this you can sort of fly. Use this to kill things. LB+RB: This is only available when your super is charged. It shoots a giant ball of light, epic right... Though is powerful R Trigger: This will smash the ground and is very useful to kill Praetorian or anything else. Jump up high and can sort of aim this to an area. Y: Will drop the shield if so desired. Enough with the shield tutorial and is very simple button wise. So this strategy we will be back to the front of the platform once a victim is chosen to wield the shield. Preferably someone high in level as well. If this shield is dropped pick it up asap and always. Same rule again left team, right team, and center. Minus the person holding the shield some shuffle may happen. It is simple as the Templar will teleport around. If you see a red ring appear in your area stand in it to stop him from appearing above you. So rinse and repeat this simple set of instructions. ------ Important ------ Shield holder supers with LB+RB to break the Templar's shield. Some will get a containment shield so do not use a rocket right away. Use a primary to shoot is down and the relic holder can help people. Do not run out of the shield you will die. Then everyone but relic holder will blast the Templar with everything you have. Take to long and he enrages sending legions of legions to you. Rinse and repeat. Also as the relic holder you really have a lot of power to kill the enemies and break containment shields near instantly. So help your fellow guardians out of containment and back into the fight. Use right trigger if you as the relic holder are contained. This will prevent you from dashing out of the containment to your doom. Important: Please do not respond to this post but instead to the continued response finishing the guide. This version is far more condensed than first version.

    Continuing the guide.... ------ 5: Gorgons Maze ------ Do not double jump, shoot your gun, throw grenades unless you seek the Gorgon's attention. This also messes with the Gorgon patrols temporarily. There is a videos of Gorgons Maze: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI4O6GKQhf4]Jump Method 1 (hard or normal)[/url] Jumping Puzzle after Gorgon's Maze: [url=http://youtu.be/59euupmEYxQ]Hunter Methods[/url] Note: Please do not purposely screw up to alert the Gorgons. I Have seen people get booted form party for it. ------ 6: Gate Keeper ------ Solo Strategy: [url=http://youtu.be/_11SeWYR0Ps]Solo Venus Run[/url], The solo methed send splits the team in 3 and 3. One guardian enters and kills Vex Hydra and grabs the relic. Both solo players should let each other know when the Hydras are near dead then drop at the same time otherwise you will go blind most likely if out of sync enough. Team Stategy: [url=http://youtu.be/6cem5yXWXlY]Defend Time Gate as a team[/url], [url=http://youtu.be/bsalVYbo1ws]Defending Atheon's Conflux[/url] Full fire team go left of entrence to Mars portal. One Guardian can enter or two to drop the Hydra in Mars portal. The rest keep portal up till they get out. Then one skilled guardian can go to Atheon's spawn at top of steps and kill off each Minotaur or have two there. Stay at the top to avoid small fire from Goblins down bellow. While this is going on the other four go to Venus or Right side portal. If well equiped one can solo this while the relic helps protect the portal or both relic holder and one guardian go in. Leaving the others to defend. After Relics are Aquired: Once relics are acquired everyone goes the base of Atheon's steps. Each relic Carrier takes a portal and kills the Minotaurs and have one floater guardian in case one dies to pick up relic. The other 3 will bring the fight to Atheon's steps. Keywords to remember: Left Time Gate (Left, Red, Mars) and Right Time Gate (Right, Green, Venus) Note 1: If portal falls while someone is attempting to get the relic. An Oracle will appear above the portal, so destroy it. Note 2: Time Gate is the same as Portal. ------------- 7: Atheon -------------- Possibly the easiest part but can be hard if not standardized. 3 random guardians will be teleported. Those keywords posted earlier are important as that is what you call out when taken in Time Gate. ------ Relic Team ------ 1: Relic carrier will immediately go and kill the minions in the center. If on green side throw grenades or use distance supers such as Golden Gun or Void Blast. 2: Two other guardians will stay at top of stairs till cleanse or 3 oracle killed. You will shoot in sync to take them down faster. Once cleansed start walking down as a group. The relic holder will cleanse as you go along. When last oracle is killed everyone out one at a time to the island in the middle. Relic Use: [url=http://youtu.be/D_nCNMYfVYQ]Mars Relic Run Example[/url], [url=http://youtu.be/2kh0Mnwkqls]Venus Relic Run Example[/url] Tricks to Try: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL5fm5oQ_UI]Pretorian Push Off[/url], [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BZGdiNU6XA]Super Good Advice for Oracles[/url] also shows how to do Oracles ---------- Defending team ---------- (12/17/2014) The defending team is to raise the Time Gate called out. I prefer the team equally split before teleport that way high chance both are going up any way. Priority is to raise the Time Gate then resurrect people. --------- Center Island --------- (12/17/2014) Once Relic Team is out go to the center platform. The relic holder will deploy the shield in the middle of platform holding LB not to far forward or to much left. Splash damage can occur. The time will be showing and relic holder will say to get off at 2-3 second point. Also putting up a weapons of light bubble at back of island helps for damage. Rinse and repeat. This can be accomplished with 4 guardians if two die, hard mode will obviously be much harder though. ------- Optional Method -------- (12/17/2014) This is an old school method. The Relic Super does a lot of damage to Atheon and has up to 5 shots due to regenerating super energy. Hard to aim as he does dance around and the Fire Team will be semi spread out from the Relic holder who will be best at the back door. This is from the days when you can have the same people going into the Relic Team job. We had the Relic Team go to the back and attack for this reason. Please remember buttons and relic should be easy to do and always throw grenades at the Praetorian on Venus Time Gate. Hope this helps newbies and current guardians.
