Court of Oryx: Difference between revisions

Players cannot enter the court proper, as the floor is covered in flames. To enter and initiate the event, one of the players must offer a rune to one of the different statues. The rarity of the runes determine the difficulty of the encounter. The summoner then must stay within the Court of Oryx, or else the boss will despawn after 15 seconds. There are three tiers of difficulty: The first tier pits players against a boss or bosses with a single mechanic, such as shields with changing element types. The second tier features multiple bosses. The third tier features raid-difficulty bosses.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3ilpy0/new_ttk_details_in_this_months_official/ '''Reddit''': New TTK details in this month's Official PlayStation Magazine (Court of Oryx kind-of explained)]</ref> After the boss has been defeated, a chest appears in the middle of the room.
