Destiny-Solo Oryx, The Taken King
Long live the King. -- Watch live at / shiftedrealityminecraft
This fight had a lot of RNG.
My setup is as followed:
Sunsinger
Fusion Grenade, Focused Burst, Fireborn, Flame Shield, Radiant Will, Gift of the Sun
Touch of Malice (Exotic Scout Rifle)
Touch of Malice, Eye of Storm, Touch of Mercy
LDR 5001 (Year 2 Vanguard Sniper Rifle)
Triple Tap, Hidden Hand
Harrowed Qullim's Terminus (King's Fall Heroic Machine Gun)
Will of Light, Cocoon, Army of One
I used Light Beyond Nemesis because there were moments where I was 98% to my Super, but didn't get it when I needed it. This was simply an insurance, since there really wasn't an Exotic armor really worth using.
There's a lot of steps
1) Kill the Taken Thralls and Taken Knights. I used a Fusion Grenade to kill the Taken Thralls because all of the special ammo dropped would be in one convenient place.
2) Head up to the Daughter's platform. Get all the Light-Eater Ogres to a low health so you can easily kill them later. DO NOT kill them right away.
3) Head to a place where you won't get shot and you can stun Oryx.
4)Stun Oryx.
5) Quickly kill the Ogres where the Vessel of Oryx won't take the Blights. This is where RNG comes in. The Ogres should be close to each other so you can detonate them all at once. You should know where the Vessel is at all times. AFTER THE FIRST RUN, THE VESSEL WON'T TAKE THE ONES CLOSE TO HIM. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. That's why I danced. I needed third person to find the Vessel's location. Usually, when the Vessel is at one side, he'll move to the other side as soon as you get up on the platform.
6) Lure the other Light-Eater Ogres by shooting at their direction. If an Ogre is too far to lure, just kill it. This is where RNG kicks in too. If the Ogres are in the Aura of Immortality from the Vessel of Oryx, then it'll take no damage. Lure them close to the Blights on your side. For best results, use Fusion Grenades to kill them quickly.
7) Detonate the Blights ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Detonating them seconds apart will mess up the run.
8) Shoot Oryx's chest. If there is no damage done to Oryx's chest when the Blights explode, no damage would be dealt.
5-8 has to be done quick. If done too slow, "Oryx will regain favor of the Darkness", wasting a run, and starting the Shade of Oryx part.
9) Self-Revive
10) Survive "Wrath of the King" or "Shade of Oryx" encounters.
11) Repeat steps 2-10
12) Once 16 Blights have been detonated, head to the very front of the Threshold and shoot Oryx's chest one last time.
13) Bask in the glory.
It took about 17 hours to get it done. If you really want to see what I went through, here are the multiple past broadcasts from Twitch of me attempting it. (Not all the broadcasts are uploaded yet).
