After previously forcing [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] to retreat into the [[Ascendant Realm]], [[Guardians]] must permanently topple the God-King of the [[Hive]] for good within the furthest depths of the [[Dreadnaught]], defeat the strongest champions of his [[Court of Oryx|court]] and bring the [[Taken War]] to a climax. | |||

For this part of the Raid, everyone is on their own. You must jump from swinging platforms to the other without falling; if you are a Warlock or a Titan, you can jump to each platform when it is all the way done swinging; for Hunters to do this, they require [[Bones of Eao]] and their double jump modifier set to Higher Jump. Once everyone is across, you reach the Portico. | For this part of the Raid, everyone is on their own.

The Warpriest will not spawn until you step on all three plates at the same time. Use this as an opportunity to decide who goes on which plate (right, middle, and left). After everyone goes to their assigned plate, have one person step on each plate, and then the Warpriest will spawn. He is initially immune to all attacks and thus will start firing at all [[Guardian]]s in sight with his [[Boomer]] in an attempt to suppress them. Don't be flattered. As the adds spawn, clear them out. When you hear a Knight yell (which is when all the Adepts are dead), a Hallowed melee Knight will spawn for each plate. Kill them fast. Once all three are dead, the Glyph sequence starts. Have one person call out the sequence. (Most often, the first sequence is either left, middle, right; or left, right, middle.) If you take too long to start the Glyph sequence or you fail it too many times, the Warpriest will summon a Wormstone Idol to reject the Initiate, therefore wiping the team. But if pulled off correctly, the person who stepped on the last plate will get the "Brand of The Initiate." This brand is the only way to inflict damage on the Warpriest; when their timer is at three seconds (stacks for 5 times), kill an add or the one with the brand will die, while the remaining five unload all their weapons' fire on the Warpriest. If the one holding the Brand dies, then the brand will be transferred to someone else. It is recommended that in order to start the damage phase, there should be a Nightstalker to tether the Warpriest so that the team will have an easier time firing at the Warpriest. This is a fight where [[Black Spindle]] would come in real handy. | The Warpriest will not spawn until you step on all three plates at the same time.

After defeating The Warpriest you will go through the portal and end up in [[Golgoroth's Cellar]] and will have to traverse a maze to get to the boss. Once your fireteam reaches the exit a door will open and you will be able to fight [[Golgoroth]]. Start the fight by shooting the orb hanging from the ceiling and Golgoroth will spawn with lots of [[Thrall]]s, [[Cursed Thrall]]s, [[Acolytes]] and Adept Acolytes. As the fight continues, the Hive will be gradually replaced with Taken. Beware of the [[Taken Phalanx]]es that appear in the lower level, as they will try to push players out of their damage dealing positions. | After defeating The Warpriest you will go through the portal and end up in [[Golgoroth's Cellar]] and will have to traverse a maze to get to the boss.

After leaving the Transept, you will encounter a small jumping puzzle. Complete it to advance to the next part, the Daughters' of Oryx fight. One random player will be torn between dimensions. All players except two, who will be helping with the adds, must be on a plate. There is one in each corner of the threshold. They must step on each plate in a counterclockwise order. | After leaving the Transept, you will encounter a small jumping puzzle.

Before spawning Oryx there will be a black orb at the end of the room. Approaching it begins the fight so take this time to talk strategy and gear up accordingly. When you approach the orb, Oryx appears much larger than before. A Relic similar to the daughters' one appears, and the same counter-clockwise pattern of platforms begins. The difference is two people jump on the first platform with the first one touching it becoming torn. Choose the most parkour savvy party member to do the platforming. While you stand on the platforms, [[Light-Eater Ogre]]s spawn ( with [[Light-Eater Knight]]s on hard mode) in the order of platforms you should stand on. The two people on Add control will need to ''kill the Ogres''. They are problematic, and you need to kill them to spawn orbs of corrupted Light to damage Oryx. (And it's crucial to kill the Light-Eater Knights after dealing with the Orges, because they will steal the orbs that were dropped). | Before spawning Oryx there will be a black orb at the end of the room.

Once he moves to the front for his final stand, the current holder of the Aura will keep it, and two more Light Eater Ogres will spawn, dropping another Corrupted Light each. These Lights should be detonated one at a time to maximize the amount of time players have to damage Oryx. Wound him enough, and the Taken King will capitulate once again. | Once he moves to the front for his final stand, the current holder of the Aura will keep it, and two more Light Eater Ogres will spawn, dropping another Corrupted Light each.

As with other Master difficulty content, the recommended power level is 20 above the Pinnacle Cap. The Extra Champions and Extra Shields modifiers are applied, as well as a selection of surges and weapon overcharge. However, while all [[Taken Acolyte]]s gain [[Void]] [[Absorption Shield]]s, [[Minor]] and Elite [[Knight]]s and the Blightguards do not gain their usual shields. | |||
During the Hall encounter, one [[Unstoppable Taken Phalanx]] will appear on each side, and an [[Overload Taken Hobgoblin]] will appear in the main room. | |||
During the Basilica encounter, Unstoppable Ogres will come out of the pools in the two Totem rooms in addition to the one in the central area. | |||
=== | |||
During the Warpriest encounter, Revenant Knights are replaced by [[Barrier Knight]]s, and Ravenous Taken Knight by Overload Taken Hobgoblins. | |||
During the Golgoroth encounter, the final pair of Knights that come out the doors will be Barrier Knights. | |||
During the Transept encounter, the Knights on the plates will be Barrier Knights. | |||
During the Oryx encounter, the Taken Knights on the plates will be Overload Taken Hobgoblins. Light-Eater Knights and the Vessel of Oryx will also have [[Arc]] shields. | |||
===Encounter Challenges=== | |||
During the Basilica encounter, "The Grass is Always Greener" prevents any player from collecting the same side's brand twice in a row, effectively meaning runners must make a full cross with each pass through the middle. | |||
During the Warpriest encounter, "Devious Thievery" requires no player to hold the Brand Claimer for more than 5 seconds. This can be difficult to coordinate and may require the current brand ''holder'' to move toward the incoming claimant. | |||
During the Golgoroth encounter, "Gaze Amaze" requires that the current gaze holder be within a Pool of Reclaimed Light when their partner relieves them. | |||
During the Threshold encounter, "Under Construction" stops players from stepping on a plate more than one time for each claim of the Brand (set of three). Because the determination of who is chosen to be Torn Between Dimensions is random, the runner should use the middle ledges to reach the necessary path, not the starting plate. | |||
During the Oryx encounter, "Hands Off" means that each Light-Eater Ogre and Knight can only be killed by a given player once. Depending on how many damage phases are required, the Fireteam may need to rotate or swap sides in order to have enough sets to kill. Also note that the two ogres needed for final stand count as the same ones as where they spawn. | |||
