To complicate matters, Atheon summons an irritating Harpy variant known as Supplicants, who assault you in squads of three that alternate attacking left and right sync plates. They are not that tough, as it goes, but they do explode on death and will self-detonate if they get too close to you. The trick to avoiding this effect is to make sure you all stand on top of the pillar in the centre of the Vex sync plate. This significantly reduces the explosive impact. … [Read more...] about Destiny – Vault of Glass: Atheon boss, Time’s Conflux, Time’s Vengeance, Supplicants

Meanwhile, the other five players go to the other sync plate to open the route to Venus. Enemies will attack you while you do this. Once the gate is open, send the person with the Relic and one other person through to Venus to perform the same drill as Mars: kill the Gatekeeper, bring the Relic back, cleanse as soon as you get through the gate back in the present. The Relic holder needs to go to keep both players cleansed, as the marking effect will activate as soon as you arrive in Venus. … [Read more...] about Destiny – Vault of Glass: Gatekeepers and Relics

To find the second chest, bunch together and work your way through the labyrinth favouring the right wall. You will have to go a little way through and dodge the odd Gorgon - you only need to avoid direct line of sight - but you should find it quite quickly. Once you have the loot, retrace your steps back to the start of the labyrinth - or just present yourself to a Gorgon, wipe and respawn. … [Read more...] about Destiny – Vault of Glass: Gorgon’s Labyrinth, platform puzzle and jumping puzzle

The key enemy to watch out for is the Fanatic, a glowing suicide bomber who will race towards you and then erupts into a pool of green goop upon death. Stepping into these pools gives you a mark - a message appears in the bottom left of the screen - and if you don't remove it by jumping into the cleansing pool at the bottom of the stairs in the centre of the battleground, you will be killed the next time the Templar uses its Ritual of Negation. The best thing to do, then, is not allow the Fanatics to get anywhere near the areas where you do most of your moving around. … [Read more...] about Destiny – Vault of Glass: Templar boss, how to solve the Confluxes, Fanatics, Oracles

Decide in advance who goes where. The Vex sync plates are located left, centre and right of the Vault door, and it's a good idea to put at least one high-level player in your fireteam on each one. If you're all pushing 29 or 30, that's even better. Your very best players should sit on the central plate, in a position where they can intervene to the left and right if things get hairy. … [Read more...] about Destiny – Vault of Glass: opening the Vault solo glitch and in a group, forming the spire with Vex plates
