This particular strategy eliminates having to kill the blight-knights and the vessel entirely. A text description of the strategy is below.
_____________________________________________________________
- Designate your runner, permanent floater, and plate holders
- 4th plate does not need to be activated, just like in normal, and the 4th plate holder becomes a floater helping with ogres
-Both floaters should be atop the daughters platform(s) assisting with ogre damage
- If you are on a plate, you need to crouch down on the very edge at the back/side of your plate and shoot your ogre from there. You should be relatively safe from ads and ogre fire (see video for reference). Don't worry, you won't be on your plate for long anyways.
- DO NOT KILL ANY OGRES. Shoot them down to 20% or less then forget them for now.
- As soon as the runner is getting off the last platform, he needs to call out immediately so everyone can get off their plates and up top to the daughters platform. Do not worry about your ogres health level. Stay alive, and get on the platform. Everyone should be on the daughter platform that is opposite the side of Oryx (from here you can put additional damage on any ogres with high health). A blessings bubble is very nice to have on the platform, but you can survive without one.
- The runner should head straight for the vessel and slam him as soon as possible. The runner only needs to obtain the aura, the vessel does not need to be killed. Once the runner has the aura he should join the rest of the team on top of the daughters platform.
- When Oryx opens up his chest, stagger him as usual
-As soon as he is staggered you want to kill your ogres and head down to detonate your bombs. If you have a hunter or two here who can toss a invisibility bomb, it definitely helps. Meanwhile, the aura holder and floater without a bomb to detonate hop down to the ground in between the daughters platforms and continue shooting Oryx to keep his chest open.
- You do not need need to wait until your name appears to leave your bomb. Do a quick 1-one thousand, 2-one thousand, 3-one thousand count and head back to the aura in the middle to continue shooting Oryx. You should see your name appear as you're running back, if not, and timing is an issue you can wait until your name appears before you start running but your risk getting murdered by ads, and the blight-knights that spawn after your ogres are downed.
- After bombs have detonated it's a rinse and repeat of everything you just did.
- When you are teleported to fight the Shade of Oryx, rememeber you do not regen health once inside. This means you need to be extra careful and a blessings bubble inside is very helpful. Everyone who has not been teleported needs to be killing the ads outside to stop them from getting in. (Ads spawn right side, left side, left side, right side of the bubble outside). Try not to take damage on the outside, because again, your health won't regen when you're teleported in.
