I think I'll be on and could sub in

As you guys know, I'm not a horrible player but continue to be under geared and under light/leveled. I finally broke the 300 threshold but only barely. Up to 303 I think?
I'm a warm body and could fill a simple role in a pinch.

Tonight's PS4 Challenge Mode event - new strategy (reply)

Titan bubble train on the daughters platforms (to protect from the ogres), leave all the ogres up (with a sliver of health) until we have 12, 3 titans drop bubbles on the platforms as they jump on (to protect from the ogres), grab the relic, steal the brand, kill the vessel and ogres, detonate all 16.

ok, not really. It's fraught with problems. ;-P :)

Too late, vassal is already my word for him. (reply)

Dregs are Gregs, Vessel is Vassal. It's done.

No the yellow Knight eats the corrupted light. We used this occasionally to have him clean up light in the middle where we could accidentally set it off.

It's Vessel, I always thought it was Vassal... (reply)

Am I saying it wrong? I don't even know. :D (reply)

Vassal makes so much more sense. (reply)

Funkmon — Fri, 18 Dec 2015 04:08:15 +0000

Vessel in this sense is a very uncommon usage, meaning something similar to embodiment. I never liked it. I like Vassal much more!

Oh, he certainly does. (reply)

dogcow — Fri, 18 Dec 2015 04:03:29 +0000

well then, I retract my previous comment.

I think we should call it at 2 hours. Also, paging Vortech! (reply)

(I'm also jealous that I didn't see a single Ogre go rogue - happens to the groups I'm in ALL THE TIME. ;) )

Yeah, rogue Ogres (roguers? Rogogers?) caused many problems for us last night. The only thing that really seems to help it killing them as fast as humanly possible. The longer they are out and about, the more likely they are to do crazy things. Having someone hit them with a sniper crit right as they're about to start walking seems to help as well.

Vassal does indeed eat the corrupted light. (reply)

So, this is the clip of what I trimmed from our second to last attempt.

In the last 20 seconds or so you can see what happens when the vassal does a beeline to the corrupted light.

You have to kill the vassal, and to do so means you need to get the relic, which means you have to stand on the platforms, which means you have to kill ogres. I don't see any way around it.

I really hate that dropship by the way. Usually it's fine but sometimes it hits me out of nowhere like in this clip.

Oh, he certainly does. (reply)

Is the yellow knight immune until we steal his buff? I can't remember for sure...

Yes, the question is, do we really have to kill him? I was under the impression he didn't eat the light on hard mode and only the 4 new knights did. If he doesn't eat the light then we COULD leave him roaming around and hide in titan bubbles.

Yeah, I really really like my last extremity. It's got a great roll on it and I've not found a better scout for my high impact needs. =) It's currently at 310, I think at 312-313 it will shine even more.

You're also watching the pinnacle of about 4 hours worth of work on our part. Re-watching that video we had a lot of things go right for us, but mostly it was about everyone being coordinated and in their proper place. I also noticed that I could be using my heavy more often, I almost always saved it for the ogres, but maybe shouldn't have.

Mind BLOWN. (reply)

dogcow — Fri, 18 Dec 2015 03:45:27 +0000

Seriously. We didn't think about that at all.

I mean, I could be wrong, but I thought Cody said that on hard mode only the 4 new knights will eat/detonate the corrupted light, and not the yellow Vassal knight. I'm having trouble finding out if this detail is correct or not.

yes (reply)

Here is our victory last night from my perspective.

Don't judge. :)

Thanks for this. You guys make it seem pretty simple, actually. (Your Last Extremity is a BEAST. I need to get one or two primaries up some more light levels.)

I thought this fight would be un-doable without a majority of ToMs - doesn't seem to be the case. Interesting!

I totally agree (reply)

CruelLEGACEY — Fri, 18 Dec 2015 02:42:49 +0000

I couldn't say much last night, but for the record I totally agree with you, Cody. Yes, you should have been right behind Ottermack. But something went wrong and you weren't. If everyone had been waiting for your signal instead of Otter's, Otter and Speedracer could have waited a split second for you to get into position and everything would have been fine.

Well, hopefully tonight will go even smoother. :)
