This is the last mission in Taken Wars: Mars and the Blighted Worlds high-level quest. You can go back to Phobos and face another Shadow of Oryx.

Could use a fireteam for this one, so let me know if you need it or are willing to spend a few minutes helping me out with this one.

I tried to handle mobs from the alcove at the entrance, as some have said, that's the easiest place to do this from. I got torn in a new asshole in about 5 seconds when I tried this one. I also hovered around the ramp area and jumped back and forth to give me time for recovery. Slightly better results, but eventually get torn a new asshole after minotaur adds. Everytime I take out adds while avoiding environment and Oryx bolts, then use sniper to hit shadow of Oryx.

I tried pulling out the sword for add management, but again.... new asshole. Going to try solo with a auto-rifle like Zhalo in order to try handle adds better from the alcove.

If anyone has other suggestions for this or wants to join a fireteam for a few minutes to help me chew through this one, I'd appreciate it.

This will help me get the 310 relic.

High power snipers. The wizard will spawn a lot faster. The use heavy machine guns and swords to clear ads. Wizard won't stand a chance. Takes about 5 mins to do

After 45 attempts I finally got it. I'm not the quickest tactician.

In the end I got there by:

1. Specing armor first, recovery 2nd.
2. Using raid scout rifle, raid machine gun, 1000 yard stare sniper.
3. At the beginning of each round, going to the lip of the pit, and priortize taking out 1-2 of the heavies.
4. Retreat to alcove when the flak gets to heavy and take out trash mobs that come from left. Throw a sticky grenade to the ramp on the right.
5. Stick to the front edges of the alcove to get some cover from Shade of Oryx flak. Avoid Shade AoE's by retreating to the back corners of alcover, or ducking out for a few secs into the upper circle.
6. If things get sticky, pull out the machine gun and fill the alcove entrance with lead.
7. After 4 Heavies that spawn in pit are down, and relatively trash mob free, take out sniper and shoot the shade 4 times.
8. Goto 3.

Still gotta do the Summoning circle mission. Zhalo supercell here I come.
