I made a post a while back looking to gauge interest in a Spire of Stars run (to which I got many positive replies... thank you). I've since discovered that in order to get the Sleeper Simulant catalyst, you need to complete the Prestige version. So I thought I might be able to hit 2 birds with one stone here.

Two questions:

1) Is it even realistic to hope to beat the Prestige version, given that I haven't fully familiarized myself with the normal version yet? I know it a bit, but not perfectly.

2) If yes to the first question, is there anyone on the Xbox side who would be willing to help me get through the Prestige Spire raid? I'd feel guilty if it turned into a 4-hour marathon... is there a group that can manage Prestige mode without too much trouble, and would be willing to have me tag along?

Thanks!

no clue on 1, but Def would do it on Xbox. Sleeper catalyst is worth the time to me.

Prestige still just means that you have to use limited weapon sets and the enemies are stronger. Mechanics should be the same anyway. I'd be up for giving it a try, it's a Triumph and stuff.

I'm up for it.

I think there are enough of us here who have done this, so... yeah.

AND MY AX!!!

I've gotten to run the first raid and lair on prestige, but haven't had a chance to try Spire prestige yet. Would love to check that off the list.

I have never finished Spire of Stars. Got all the way to the last encounter, but never finished.

I’d be willing to attempt Prestige, though.

I'd love to help out. If you put together an FTB event, I'll do my best to be there. Being much higher light after Forsaken is going to help a *lot* with this one.

I’d like to help out but I’ve nrver done spire of stars. Put up a fab with a time I could make and I’ll sign up as tentative

Same here.

But you can count me in depending on the time.

Wow, way more interest than I’d anticipated. I’ve posted an event in the FTB:

I’m happy to do this more than once, so if there are people who want in, but are unable to join on Sunday, just let me know and we can setup another event.

For anyone who is rusty or un-familiar with how to get through the Spire raid, this video guide seems decently thorough. It doesn't get into the prestige mode at all, but I found it helpful for learning the mechanics of each encounter:

Prestige: Arsenal: Weapons have no reserve ammo. Emptying the clip of a weapon refills the clips of your holstered weapons.
Armsmaster: You've been challenged to wield the following: Kinetic: Anything, Energy: Fusion Rifle, Power: Fusion Rifle

At least I can still bring in Bygones. I guarantee someone is going to get killed by their own Sleeper round at some point, though :p
