FINAL BOSS TIP SPOILERS DO NOT LOOK (Destiny)

Some spoiler-y DPS suggestions - don't look until you've figured out the last encounter mechanics:

* Shock/Null/Scorch Cannons do the most damage, and they are affected by light level. Your highest light level guardians should be the people with the cannons, and they should use them to damage the boss.
* Weapons of Light and Tether also help increase DPS, but save them for the 3rd stun that lasts a long time. The boss seems to be able to cancel a tether when his stun begins, so wait a few seconds to fire it.
* Making sure that all teleport locations are covered by an empowered person is more important than DPS - you need to get to the third stun every cycle if your team is low light level.
* High impact snipers for everyone else; his head is his crit spot.
* You can do a little damage before the stun - I threw grenades.

One final spoiler below. This is a spoiler for a blind team that needs the above advice, but would probably save at least one wipe for a team that has the mechanics down and is just working on execution:
When the boss health gets very low, he'll return to his original spawn location for a "last stand" (just like Oryx). Make sure you have some ammo to burn him down the last 5 or 10 percent.
