Black Spindle, need a group (Destiny)

I'm hearing that an Exotic version of Black Hammer drops if you do the daily heroic today a certain way… which seems tough even with three people. Any volunteers? Looking to do it around 6 or 7pm PST.

Me, ProbablyLast and Narc tried. LFG on the Xbone too.

ProbablyLast got weaseled, I had to go school anyway. It was hard as hell. We tried one and a half times, failed pretty hardcore through the attempts. The whole thing is very very difficult.
Later tonight, anyone want to run it with me?

I'll be on if you need a hand.

If you can do it a little later, I'd love to join. What exactly do we need to do?

Looks like it doesn't have to be the daily heroic version...
by CruelLEGACEY , Toronto, Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 14:01 (3445 days ago) @ Cody Miller
I just attempted this on the select mission from the moon, set to heroic and it works! I believe the only caveat is that you must not have died before getting there. Me and a friend attempted on the daily heroic, didnt die getting there, but failed to kill in time. I tried again on the daily heroic, died to the ogre once or twice, and it was closed when i got to entrance to the Ketch.
Either that or you get one attempt per day and the fact that its the daily heroic means you can try twice.
EDIT: Some people are saying they died before the Ketch, and still had the door open, so it must be some sort of hidden timer, unsure as to the exact time.

Loading up the "heroic" tier difficulty of the daily mission from the director has always counted as running the daily heroic mission (reward-wise) - so I don't think we can actually test whether this works from the heroic tier of this mission on any given day until tomorrow.

Doesn't the Daily Heroic mission typically include modifiers that make it more challenging than simply selecting mission in the director and choosing the "heroic" difficulty setting?

I'm pretty sure that on that particular day that it happens to be the featured daily mission, loading the mission from the director, set to it's highest difficulty, actually just launches the daily heroic with modifiers and all. I guess I could be wrong about that, but I remember noticing in the past that they were treated the same for the day.

Today, the only modifier is "heroic" anyway.

Black Spindle, need a group
by CougRon, Auburn, WA, USA, Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 14:07 (3445 days ago) @ Cody Miller
Maybe if mid7night's raid tonight falls through some of us can do this. (xboxone) Willing to try.
Heard the gun is a 310 light drop, 300 light if you rebuy from the plans once you get it. You apparently have to do the daily heroic and take the route to the ketch and taniks (the stike boss) instead of going the normal mission route. You have to complete the strike in a 10 minute time limit.
I've never seen this story mission in regular mode but I have not gone through many of the taken war quests so I think this is normally part of one of those.

It's part or the normal campaign quest line. Spoiler only if you haven't played TTK's main storyline: It's the one where you go back into where you destroyed Crota's soul shard in The Dark Below, and now you're grabbing a piece of that shard and then high-tailing it out of the Hellmouth. (The next mission is then Crota's "funeral")
Just make sure to take a right toward where the Taniks strike happens instead of continuing on through the mission to get out of the Hellmouth
huh. Don't recall it at all

How To (SPOILERS)
by Blackt1g3r , Login is from an untrusted domain in MN, Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 14:14 (3445 days ago) @ Cody Miller
Go into the heroic version of the Lost to Light. After the section where you use two runes to open the door, head to Tanik's Ketch. Once you get aboard the Ketch you have 10 minutes to kill all the taken adds and a boss.
Some notes/tips:
- There seems to be some sort of timer to get to the Ketch so you want to probably skip as much fighting as possible before that
- Apparently adds spawn infinitely during the boss fight until you kill the boss
- Don't wipe until after you get to the Ketch
- After reaching the Ketch, the darkness zone will clear and you can revive as needed
- Taken Knights have fire shields
- Don't let the taken psions kill overwhelm you.
- You can try this repeatedly
Did you complete it?
by TheeChaos , Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 14:23 (3445 days ago) @ Blackt1g3r
If so please let me know the status of the white nail perk.
Im assuming it still suffers from the nerf, but as I was telling people last night, it would still be helpful.

Nope, just looked at reddit :)

It has the nerf.

So basically it's the Black Hammer but Exotic? is it any better in any other way?

One of those folks who whined about the nerf just because your bottomless-mag Ultra-high Impact sniper "only" holds 21 rounds now...
I'll take two!

can it be done any time, or does it have to be today?
by Schedonnardus, Texas, Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 15:11 (3445 days ago) @ Cody Miller
does it have to be the daily story, or can i do it at a later date on the heroic difficulty?

People report above that the normal heroic mission works
by Kahzgul, Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 15:57 (3445 days ago) @ Schedonnardus
Which is what I would have guessed as well.
Time to speed run every new mission on heroic and see what else is different...

UPDATE: Has to be today.
by Funkmon , Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 19:39 (3445 days ago) @ Schedonnardus

Wow, so it's not just the heroic
by Blackt1g3r , Login is from an untrusted domain in MN, Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 19:47 (3445 days ago) @ Funkmon
I guess that means we need to test out all the daily heroic strikes now.
I tried with a few friends but couldn't get the boss down to more then a third. Well, I guess I'll have to keep an eye out for next time.

Actually, someone tweeted that it is just the heroic
by Kahzgul, Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 23:04 (3445 days ago) @ Durandal
But I have no idea who that guy who did the tweeting is, or if he's official or what.
Also, Deej tweeted that it's gonna be nerfed down to 290 light, but that they won't be changing light levels of weapons you infuse from it.

You know what it is...
by Korny , Dalton, Ga. US. Earth, Sol System, Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 15:43 (3445 days ago) @ Cody Miller
Sammy and I will definitely be up for running this. I think she's only a 292, but she was able to tackle Crota Lite in the Court as a 275, so we should be good. Just need a third now around 6(EST).
You know what it is...
by TheeChaos , Wednesday, September 23, 2015, 15:58 (3445 days ago) @ Korny
I will be on around that time, if you want to wait. I can help whoever after the fact (Cody, Cyber).
