I'll admit, the [[The Gauntlet|Gauntlet]] is likely the most fun encounter in the entire raid. Like Totems in King's Fall, there's an equal mix of combat and mechanics to keep the players engaged in it. The issue I have is that neither section is particularly exciting here. Let's get that blood pumping, starting with the adds. It's simply a generic hurdle that Bungie uses all the time in their encounters and it's both boring and annoying. It's like we ''have'' to kill them before we even get anywhere. You also had to manage adds carefully in Totems for sure, but at least they weren't a complete roadblock. | I'll admit, the [[The Gauntlet|Gauntlet]] is likely the most fun encounter in the entire raid.

So of course you would have adds running around the area, but this would cause the [[Imperial Centurion]] to spawn earlier, except we'll call it the [[Forum:Gauntlet Centurion|Gauntlet Centurion]]. Now ''this'' you absolutely have to kill. Not only will he have dual [[Projection Rifle]]s to make him more threatening, but when you kill him, he will drop a psionic charge upon death. Whoever picks this up will gain the "Force of Will" buff, which will allow them to destroy the Psionic Projections | So of course you would have adds running around the area, but this would cause the [[Imperial Centurion]] to spawn earlier, except we'll call it the [[Forum:Gauntlet Centurion|Gauntlet Centurion]].

There will be mines and nets carefully laid throughout the obstacle course. These obstacles can be destroyed by using power from the psionic charge, but this will drain your health. There will also be a barrier in the holes that has to be shot down with the charge when the people on the outside shoot the arrows, which aren't going anywhere, except upon shooting an arrow, you get a debuff that prevents you from being able to shoot them for another rotation, so you may want to plan your arrow shooters ahead of time. This process repeats through the encounter's normal conclusion, but it wouldn't be over with everyone putting their psionic charges in the middle at the same time. When that happens, there will a giant [[Ultra]] [[Colossus]] called a [[Forum:Gauntlet Champion|Gauntlet Champion]]. Kill him, and you're free to go. | There will be mines and nets carefully laid throughout the obstacle course.
