Last night we beat the templar. Tonight we beat the gatekeeper. Tomorrow, we become DBO's first (I think) team to conquer hard mode!

We beat the gatekeeper by the skin of our teeth. During the attempt, we had someone drop. We had a nice save as a relic holder went down by CruelLEGACEY, and by the end I believe it was just the two relic holders left standing. But we did it.

Our strategy:

1. Snipe the gatekeeper before entering the room.

2. Open the left portal and send three people through. Three stay back. Everyone going through unloads on the gatekeeper. After one volley, one of them returns to help the outside team. Necessary since there were five 29s. The other two kill the gatekeeper. On its death, one runs out, the other grabs the relic and runs back, ignoring all the enemies.

3. Two go through the right portal, 4 stay outside. One person outside is on Hobgoblin duty. Everybody ignores the Minotaurs coming to the conflux, because the inside team is so sweet they can be in and out before too many sacrifices. Relic holder uses his super on the gatekeeper, and the other snipes. When the gatekeeper dies, the relic holder eliminates the Vex with a smash, then runs out to take on the previously ignored Minotaurs.

4. After the second relic is out of the protal, the two relic holders tag team the future Praetorians until the encounter is won.

That was the plan, but it didn't happen EXACTLY that way :-p

Video coming.
