Future 2 Vault of Glass – Atheon boss battle information

The Atheon boss battle in Future 2‘s Vault of Glass raid takes place in the identical space the place you completed the Gatekeeper encounter. As such, you have to be barely conversant in the structure of the traditional space, in addition to the teleport areas (Mars/left and Venus/proper).

In the beginning, attempt to keep away from Atheon’s torch hammer blasts because the weapon can two-shot you simply if you happen to’re out within the open. Simply keep on the sides, clearing out the harpies that seem.

Word: Kill the harpies which might be near the bottom. As for these which might be floating greater within the air, you’ll be able to go away one alive so Atheon doesn’t spawn extra units.

For those who’re left exterior: Watching out for supplicants and doing callouts for the Oracles

Ultimately, Atheon will ship three gamers to a random location (both Mars or Venus). The three different gamers can be left exterior.

Right here’s what must occur. First, the teleported gamers will name out their new location. One participant from the skin workforce will stand on the pillar that’s on the plate to activate the teleporter for that location. The skin gamers also needs to clear extra harpy mobs, together with supplicants (exploding harpies) which may immediately kill you.

Nonetheless, an important issue to recollect could be the purple Oracles that spawn in mid-air. Much like earlier encounters, a set of three Oracles will spawn at intervals. There are six spots that they will seem at. Ideally, you’ll need the whole fireteam to be on the identical web page as to how they’re known as out/numbered. In our case, we determined to begin from the entrance left (nearer to the Mars teleporter) going counter-clockwise to the again left (nearer to Atheon). You possibly can discuss with the picture beneath.

Word: No less than one exterior participant must do callouts for the Oracles that seem, and most can be seen if you’re on one of many ledges on the again (near your spawn level). Atheon received’t shoot at you whereas the Oracle section is occurring, however some harpies would possibly nonetheless injury you.

For those who bought teleported: Taking the relic, killing the Oracles, and cleaning the blindness

The three gamers who bought teleported will discover a relic as soon as they spawn in. Have one participant decide this up and use it to beat down the mobs. Extra enemies will spawn from the portals, so be sure you smack them round quick, particularly the Praetorian minotaurs.

Likewise, the relic holder has an extra activity, and that’s periodically cleaning allies by holding down the grenade button. You’ll should be fast or your mates may go blind.

Word: For those who’re not carrying the relic, attempt to be near the opposite participant so the cleanse’s area-of-effect applies to each of you.

What in regards to the gamers who don’t have the relic? Nicely, their job is to hearken to the Oracle callouts from the skin workforce. It’s crucial that you simply destroy the Oracles within the appropriate order since a single mistake will trigger a wipe.

The Mars/Venus areas really mirror Atheon’s area (solely the colour schemes and foliage are completely different). As such, you’ll be able to observe the numbering within the map proven earlier.

• Some groups wish to shoot the Oracles from the middle (the place the Hydra dies). Simply keep in mind to spin round a bit in case it’s worthwhile to shoot the Oracles which might be behind you (i.e., these on the lengthy stairs/massive gateway).
• Different groups, in the meantime, wish to rush to the floating platform within the center. This may imply that each one Oracles are in entrance of you (as you face the lengthy stairs/massive gateway). You possibly can see this instance within the picture beneath.

Word 1: The Xenophage can one-shot Oracles simply, nevertheless it’s not the perfect unique for the DPS section. For those who want to maintain your unique slot free, you should utilize scout rifles to take them out. The relic holder may even drop the relic to assist shoot them, or get the relic’s tremendous charged to blast one goal.

Word 2: There are three units with three Oracles every that it’s worthwhile to deal with. As soon as all 9 Oracles have been destroyed, cleanse the gamers near the teleporter, run exterior, and begin the DPS section. You would possibly have to cleanse your teammates once more when you’re on the designated DPS spot.

The DPS section: Time’s Vengeance buff, detainment, and advised loadouts

With all 9 Oracles lifeless, the workforce will obtain the Time’s Vengeance buff. This alerts the beginning of the DPS section for the Atheon boss battle. Nonetheless, this section is pretty brief and hectic, and you actually need to burst the boss down. Listed below are some solutions:

• Titans – Thundercrash with Cuirass of the Fallen Star.
• Warlocks – No less than one Nicely of Radiance; the remainder ought to use Nova Bomb with Nezarec’s Sin.
• Hunters – Golden Gun with Celestial Nighthawk or Blade Barrage with Shards of Galanor.
• Anarchy tends to deal a whole lot of constant injury if you happen to hit the boss or the bottom close to it. The Salvager’s Salvo may also assist if want be.

The Time’s Vengeance buff quickens the recharge price of all of your skills, together with grenades and supers. Likewise, you’ll need Paradrome Dice artifact mods like Blast Radius (everybody) and Breach & Clear (a minimum of two to a few fireteam members who use grenade launchers). There are additionally different mods equivalent to Taking Cost and Vitality Converter. A mix of Nova Bomb (with Nezarec’s Sin) or Blade Barrage (with Shards of Galanor), plus Blast Radius, Taking Cost, and Vitality Converter may also help you regenerate your tremendous again, particularly if Anarchy photographs/supers additionally find yourself killing the harpy mobs.

Word 1: Since Titans might want to Thundercrash instantly in order that they have sufficient time to get their tremendous again, they need to by no means carry the relic because it wastes valuable seconds. Ideally, whoever’s carrying the relic ought to drop it close to everybody so it may be picked up by a Warlock utilizing Nicely of Radiance (the one one who isn’t spamming damage-dealing supers). Additionally, so far as I can inform, common supers deal extra injury than the relic’s personal tremendous.

Word 2: Oh, and don’t overlook, it’s worthwhile to be careful for detainment (which targets one participant). After a couple of seconds, the detainment will lure the participant and all different allies close to them. It’s important to test the bottom-left nook of your HUD to see if you happen to’re the one which’s being focused so you’ll be able to transfer a bit additional away. Your teammates will simply shoot you out of your individual detainment bubble after they can.

Lastly, let’s discuss in regards to the DPS spots and transitioning again to the common section. Some teams do like to make use of the center platform, whereas others wish to be unfold out. There are additionally instances whereby teams would possibly want to DPS in entrance of a portal (the one which the teleported workforce exits from). This can be a viable technique because it barely quickens the DPS and your Anarchy, grenades, and supers hit extra mobs (to assist recharge your tremendous once more). The one threats listed below are the supplicants that may swerve in the direction of you, however they are often handled as they’re transferring nearer.

Anyway, after one DPS section, you must’ve taken out a piece of Atheon’s well being. Repeat the identical course of with the teleports, Oracle callouts, and relic cleaning a pair extra instances till Atheon’s lifeless. Congratulations on clearing the traditional mode of Future 2‘s Vault of Glass raid, and good luck on getting the Vex Mythoclast whilst you’re at it.
