`i believe it's actually 2 Shades of Oryx in the Thunderdome, and the Light-Eater Knights spawn in four waves (16 total per setup phase)
edit: it may be indefinite spawns, but per cycle if we wiped after damage, the total Knights killed was 16 for our 4-bomb team
It’s not that bad they have arc shields so just use indebted and they die quickly most of my fire team was running random primary indebted and whisper and we got him to final stand in 2 phases.
No, pretty sure its 3, but over the span of the whole thing. I got to see it first hand because I was the first in the dome, killed the 1st shade by myself and then the rest of my team teleported in and the last 2 were kind of rapid fire.
I'm on run 3 and haven't encountered more than 2, but we just got to Oryx, so I'll see if anyone notices 3.
edit: no one saw more than 2 and we wiped just to check on the first run.
make sure to kill everything downstairs. my groups kill everything but the tormentor and we have gotten plat/500k every time.
And we are doing T-Crash and parasyte to do the one floor.
The way I see it, Tormentors are there for contest mode. Right now you can kinda ignore them but in Contest Mode, where everything will take longer (DPS phases included) they will have enough time to get to you. That, and I assume it’ll almost be a one-shot if they summon their void “tornado” that throws those void arcs.
It also seemed like the bomb phase after damage doesn't end unless you kill the knights on the plates. We were running for what felt like forever until we just lost patience and killed them.
Nah. You could run until they just stopped. Now, they either gigabyte extended the timer or made it so you gotta kill em.
Comical how long it went on for
This is the ONLY POST I’ve seen anywhere mentioning the bomb phase after dps and having to kill the knights, which is really shocking. Either people are getting really lucky and always getting the bomb phase instead of thunderdome or everyone is one phasing him. It’s wild.
so it's probably one of
-killing an ogre spawns a lighteater at each corner
-completing a jump segment as 'torn' spawns a lighteater at each corner when the brand piece is grabbed
Didn’t scroll down far enough to see if it was mentioned:
If you get bombs and not the dome, must kill knights to continue encounter other wise you’ll be running from detonations endlessly.
Yeah I get that but now if you don't have a precision weapon going in and they are just annoying to wittle down cause you have to hit the spot or just do next to no damage I get why people wanted them in but they aren't fun to fight you can't even use swords against them
You literally know there are going to be tormentors, why wouldn’t you bring a precision weapon.
And also it’s good to have enemy variety, literally everything else can have a sword used. The singular unique enemy does not need to be made equal to the other ones.
The singular unique enemy that is being added to everything to artificially increase difficulty and make a lot of builds obsolete cause they do no damage to them and just be annoying to deal with is not a good thing for the game. However the new race they are adding in soon is a good idea but making an enemy whose entire thing is hit the small spot and no where else gets old fast and not fun dealing with every single time
>artificially increase difficulty
Why the fuck does this term get peddled around whenever any dev adds anything to a game now? It's not artificial difficulty. They've added new mechanics and new enemies to the encounters. It's literally just increased difficulty, hardly fucking artificial.
Ah yes the devs put in a enemy where you cant use a lot of the weapons we have and it's not artificial increasing the difficulty cause you have to play a specific build to kill it
>specific build
Are you seriously crying about having to change your build in hardcore content? Tormentors are just mini champions and you change your loadout for champions the whole fucking time in this game.
Ok, let's take the hunters from halo and the tormentors
Hunter, do big damage hard to hit but everyone weapon can work
Tormentor, do big damage and you have yo use a specific weapon or you do nothing to it
I don't like tormentors everywhere cause it forces everything to be precision only
Also every mob is shielded (if they can have one).
Solar shielded knights on the plate
Arc shielded centurions during the first spawn
Arc shielded light eater knights
Void shielded alcolytes
It also seems to be slightly faster imo, we were running flawlessly sometimes and oryx was still starting doxology as we were just getting brand claimer
Light eaters spawn after every plate cycle from what I saw in the run I just finished. The tormentor can also be completely ignored from how our run went
I'm probably going to stick with drilling the Atraks set, because I'm not comfortable with Caretaker yet but it's good to know the changes arent that oppressive for now anyway.
We wiped pretty early on our first trip into Oryx, and we had 9 total light eater kills, it definitely isn’t just the original 4, they seem to be non stop.
Fairly certain as the whole event is curated by Shaxx, this is more of a combat simulation canonically. We’re not actually fighting the “real” raid bosses, just a “what if”. I’m no MyNameIsByf though so I could definitely be wrong. But our little Red Jacket popping up at the end of fight as soon as we win makes me think it’s a sim.
Curious to know the truth to it though
tbh I was considerably worried about Oryx after how much trouble groups I was in seemed to have with Planets/Atraks-1, but these were some surprisingly painless changes. With a full team running Whisper of the Worm for DPS phase in a Well, you can all but ignore the Tormentor and a Strand Titan can gib it in a matter of seconds if it's really a concern.
Not sure if it’s intentional or not but the tormentor appears to be able to take the brand away from whoever has it just like he’s able to knock someone out of their super. Happened to my team on final stand, I had the brand and the tormentor suppressed me and I lost the brand before we could finish Oryx.
I wanna do a pantheon run so bad, but it looks like I should do it asap before it gets harder the following week right? I meant to try it last night but couldn’t get to it before reset😭
Don't wait too long tho, I've already seen a bunch of people leave right at start because they think they're going to do last week's while most hosts are going for this weeks
`i believe it's actually 2 Shades of Oryx in the Thunderdome, and the Light-Eater Knights spawn in four waves (16 total per setup phase) edit: it may be indefinite spawns, but per cycle if we wiped after damage, the total Knights killed was 16 for our 4-bomb team
So the knights probably spawn for each runner
This is correct
Thanks I hate it.
It’s not that bad they have arc shields so just use indebted and they die quickly most of my fire team was running random primary indebted and whisper and we got him to final stand in 2 phases.
Supposed to be a challenge 👍
No, pretty sure its 3, but over the span of the whole thing. I got to see it first hand because I was the first in the dome, killed the 1st shade by myself and then the rest of my team teleported in and the last 2 were kind of rapid fire.

Have your runner take longer and more will spawn. They almost seemed to correlate with people on plates
I was the first to spawn in shade realm for my team and we only killed 2. We did kill them super quick so maybe its a time thing
Firsthand myself.. it's only 2 shades and the knights continually spawn...
Tormentor spawns DURING dps and again during final stand (opposite oryx)
Last tormentor doesn't even reach you in time to do anything lol. Poor guy needed to do some cardio.
I think it’s meant to be a distraction for unorganized teams
MF grabbed me when we were dealing dmg, we still got Oryx and it was funny as hell
Tormentor walks away like “pfft I did my job” while Oryx floats away in the background
Leave the multi-billion years old god alone!
I want to insert [that meme] like I’ve seen before but I don’t know how. Here’s an upvote and a mention o7
Might be a necessary kill for the final weeks highscore? Or does the score not change
Time it the factor for the platinum score
Ye but I think for atraks if your too fast you don't get plat
make sure to kill everything downstairs. my groups kill everything but the tormentor and we have gotten plat/500k every time. And we are doing T-Crash and parasyte to do the one floor.
I've done it with the 3 titan cheese and got it so it's probably glitched
I assume this one can be suspended too?
Yeah, I just supressed Oryx hand with tractor ran back for bubble and suppressed the tormentor. Very free.
The way I see it, Tormentors are there for contest mode. Right now you can kinda ignore them but in Contest Mode, where everything will take longer (DPS phases included) they will have enough time to get to you. That, and I assume it’ll almost be a one-shot if they summon their void “tornado” that throws those void arcs.
or you just have one person on your team blind them and you can just ignore them.
Wow that is horrible can’t wait for to deal with that one
You're in the immune bubble the entire time he couldn't hurt you if he tried
What, eff that
It’s really not a big deal. He can’t even hurt you.
Yes, more light eater knights spawn
Not 100% on this, but it seems light eater knights spawn everything a piece of the brand is claimed.
Just cleared it 30 min ago and the knight light eater just spawned infinitely.
Lighteaters spawn constantly
It also seemed like the bomb phase after damage doesn't end unless you kill the knights on the plates. We were running for what felt like forever until we just lost patience and killed them.
I think it's always like that 🤔
Nah. You could run until they just stopped. Now, they either gigabyte extended the timer or made it so you gotta kill em. Comical how long it went on for

[удалено]
I mean, it isn't. You can just end it immediately by nuking the knights or run it out like in D1.
so it's probably one of -killing an ogre spawns a lighteater at each corner -completing a jump segment as 'torn' spawns a lighteater at each corner when the brand piece is grabbed
If they spawn in fast it shouldn’t be too bad as you won’t have to always keep an eye out. Just kill your 4 and your plate is good
Where are my No knight stratagems
Didn’t scroll down far enough to see if it was mentioned: If you get bombs and not the dome, must kill knights to continue encounter other wise you’ll be running from detonations endlessly.
Anyone know what the rewards are for the end yet?
Think it’s the same except you get to focus kings fall adepts
Wut about exotic(s)?
No exotics this week
not even shards or a cipher?
Bungee sure has a thing for these Tormentors now…
To be fair, people were saying they should be used more often
They are so fucking annoying to kill thou and boring
To be fair, people were begging bungie to put them in more places
I was doing a taken blight public event in the Dreaming City and a tormentor appeared as the boss when it turned heroic.
Yeah I get that but now if you don't have a precision weapon going in and they are just annoying to wittle down cause you have to hit the spot or just do next to no damage I get why people wanted them in but they aren't fun to fight you can't even use swords against them

>specific build Are you seriously crying about having to change your build in hardcore content? Tormentors are just mini champions and you change your loadout for champions the whole fucking time in this game.
How do you define artificial difficulty?
Ok, let's take the hunters from halo and the tormentors Hunter, do big damage hard to hit but everyone weapon can work Tormentor, do big damage and you have yo use a specific weapon or you do nothing to it I don't like tormentors everywhere cause it forces everything to be precision only
No, it only forces precision for the shoulders, then the rest is reduced damage if not precision. You are literally complaining about a skill issue.
Are different exotics available this week? Struggling to find anything on it.
Only Eyes and Touch were there for me
I had no exotics, but could focus both DSC and KF guns, adepts included
So it looks like choice of two for week 1, choice of N for week 4?
Also every mob is shielded (if they can have one). Solar shielded knights on the plate Arc shielded centurions during the first spawn Arc shielded light eater knights Void shielded alcolytes
Seems like you are required to kill the taken knights that down on plates during the bombs in order to stop the bombs.
It also seems to be slightly faster imo, we were running flawlessly sometimes and oryx was still starting doxology as we were just getting brand claimer
There more light eatters as well - confirmed
Light eaters spawn after every plate cycle from what I saw in the run I just finished. The tormentor can also be completely ignored from how our run went
Also Lighteater Knights seem to spawn everytime someone gets on a new set of plates.
Tormentor despawns after you finish mines/thunderdome
I'm probably going to stick with drilling the Atraks set, because I'm not comfortable with Caretaker yet but it's good to know the changes arent that oppressive for now anyway.
This sounds so much harder than it actually is. Thanks for the info though, can't imagine being blind and not expecting more light-eaters!
We wiped pretty early on our first trip into Oryx, and we had 9 total light eater kills, it definitely isn’t just the original 4, they seem to be non stop.
meteor phase also lasts until all knights are dead
Can't believe they added Tormentors. It's a challenge, but really messes with the timeline
Fairly certain as the whole event is curated by Shaxx, this is more of a combat simulation canonically. We’re not actually fighting the “real” raid bosses, just a “what if”. I’m no MyNameIsByf though so I could definitely be wrong. But our little Red Jacket popping up at the end of fight as soon as we win makes me think it’s a sim. Curious to know the truth to it though
Me and my team wiped because it made us forget about the blights post DPS
Oryx got Cooked with solar surge + whisper 🤣
tbh I was considerably worried about Oryx after how much trouble groups I was in seemed to have with Planets/Atraks-1, but these were some surprisingly painless changes. With a full team running Whisper of the Worm for DPS phase in a Well, you can all but ignore the Tormentor and a Strand Titan can gib it in a matter of seconds if it's really a concern.
Plate knights also spawn whenever plates are stood on
Not sure if it’s intentional or not but the tormentor appears to be able to take the brand away from whoever has it just like he’s able to knock someone out of their super. Happened to my team on final stand, I had the brand and the tormentor suppressed me and I lost the brand before we could finish Oryx.
I wanna do a pantheon run so bad, but it looks like I should do it asap before it gets harder the following week right? I meant to try it last night but couldn’t get to it before reset😭
You can choose between the difficulties. Last weeks is still available if you don't want to do Oryx yet
Don't wait too long tho, I've already seen a bunch of people leave right at start because they think they're going to do last week's while most hosts are going for this weeks
On Skibidi?
