Future 2 Vault of Glass – Templar boss battle information

The fundamentals

As soon as somebody picks up the relic within the space, the Templar boss battle will start. The target right here is to destroy three Oracles that spawn so as, have the relic holder break the Templar’s defend, get everybody to deal harm to the boss, after which put together for any attainable teleports and mobs.

Crew roles

• Relic Holder – The relic holder is a very powerful position within the Vault of Glass’ Templar boss battle. After choosing up the relic, the participant will discover varied new actions reminiscent of a melee swipe/floor slam (left click on), a cleanse (maintain the grenade button), and an excellent bar. I’ll speak extra about these shortly.
• Oracle Killer – Technically, everybody can kill the Oracles that spawn. Nonetheless, designated gamers can simply conceal contained in the cubbyholes and use the Xenophage to take out essentially the most seen ones. You’ll be able to see one explicit cheesing spot from the ceiling within the subsequent picture.
• Everybody else – The remainder of the raid group ought to simply assist clear provides and any Oracles that the assigned participant can not see.

Be aware: Use the identical numbering for Oracles from the earlier encounter (i.e., #1 ranging from the again proper going clockwise) to have clearer callouts.

How the battle progresses and prompt loadouts

Begin by destroying the three Oracles so as. The Templar ought to then start its Mark of Negation solid. The primary solid wouldn’t matter since nobody must be debuffed in case you killed the Oracles within the appropriate order.

Oh, and whereas the Oracles are being killed, the relic holder must be meleeing a number of mobs to totally cost the tremendous meter. Then, as soon as everyone seems to be in place, the relic holder will use the tremendous to fireside a blast that may break the Templar’s defend. This lets the fireteam do DPS.

Ideally, it’s best to have the next:

• Titans – Banner Protect with Ursa Furiosa.
• Warlocks – Nicely of Radiance with Lunafaction Boots.
• Hunters – Golden Gun with Celestial Nighthawk.
• Double slug shotguns or sniper rifles with the Vorpal Weapon perk and Boss Spec mod.
• Anarchy unique grenade launcher – Ideally, at the least one participant within the fireteam ought to have the Breach & Clear artifact mod to debuff the boss.
• When you have an Oracle Killer that’s hiding in a cheese spot, they need to use Xenophage to one-shot the Oracles. You possibly can additionally brute power the encounter (i.e., ignore the subsequent set of Oracles). I’ll clarify extra shortly.

Be aware: Your first DPS section place must be on the ledges pretty near the boss (the Banner Protect and Nicely of Radiance ought to preserve you alive). Additionally, this place will allow you to steer clear of exploding fanatics. Keep in mind that they’ll nonetheless create Vex milk swimming pools that’ll debuff you with the Mark of Negation. Your solely recourse is to run to the central plate to get cleansed for the reason that relic’s means not removes the mark.

Be aware 2: It is best to be capable to deplete at the least 40 to 50% of the Templar’s well being pool in a single DPS section. You would possibly even get near a one-phase if everybody’s on level.

Detainment and blocking the teleports

Yet one more factor you need to bear in mind is that the Templar will detain three random individuals in a bubble. When detained, you’re unable to shoot to interrupt your personal defend. As an alternative, it is advisable depend on teammates to shoot your defend for you. If you happen to attempt to rapidly sprint outdoors the bubble, or in case your detainment isn’t eliminated in time, you’ll die. It’s attainable for the relic holder to get detained, too, so ensure to interrupt their bubble rapidly. Additionally, in case you’re utilizing a rocket launcher and also you get detained simply previous to firing, there’s a great likelihood that you just’ll die to the explosion.

Likewise, the relic holder has to roam across the map, on the lookout for a pink circle that denotes the place the Templar would teleport to. If the relic holder can stand contained in the pink circle for a number of seconds, they’ll block the Templar’s teleport which extends the DPS section. The relic holder can merely maintain the grenade button to pop a defend to negate all harm whereas they’re on the spot.

Ideally, the relic holder ought to block two teleports so the staff can have a reasonably prolonged DPS section. Additionally, a number of minotaurs will spawn relying on the variety of instances the teleport was canceled. You might have two choices from this level onwards:

• First, you may select to clear the mobs (particularly the half dozen or so minotaurs which have appeared). Whereas this is occurring, keep in mind that the subsequent set of Oracles will spawn quickly, so ensure to do your callouts accordingly.
• Alternatively, you may brute power the encounter and ignore the subsequent set of Oracles. That is viable in case your staff has first rate loadouts and everybody’s on level, or as soon as the 24-hour contest mode is over and also you’re not hampered by being at a decrease degree in comparison with enemies. For this one, simply let the relic holder block as many teleports as attainable (crossing backwards and forwards either side by slicing via the spawn level, like a “U” motion). Wait till the Oracles explode which is able to mark everybody. Then, as soon as the Templar is about to solid the Mark of Negation, the staff will transfer to the cleaning plate and do a countdown earlier than stepping on it. It’s possible you’ll even let the relic holder defend you from enemy fireplace. The relic holder will merely state after they’re about to fireside their tremendous so that you might be able to burst the Templar’s remaining sliver of well being.
