Saw this on Reddit, Since I haven't done that place yet, this was all new to me, so I wanted to share it with you guys

 

--------------------------------

 

Hello fellow guardians! After many VoG runs i find that while most people understand the mechanics just fine, they miss a fair amount of little things that can make a big difference.

 

Confluxes

 

About half way into Left and Right Conflux phase 2 Minotaurs will spawn in the middle followed soon after by Minotaurs on the left and right sides. Anticipate this and make sure your heavy is ready.

The Left and Right Conflux phase last longer and is more difficult that the three Conflux phase. So dont be discouraged if your going into this phase with people down.

 

Oracles

 

The oracles start to generate health when the spawn, the longer they are alive the more heath the will get. Its best to get damage on the as soon as they spawn.

Templar Fight

 

Relic Holder

 

The relics best attack against harpys is your heavy attack with no jumping. Just spam the smash button its one shot to kill a harpy and the animation is pretty fast.

 

The relic holder must wait until just after the oracles die (or the cleanse) to use his super. This ensure all people are able to get damage on the Templar.

 

The relic holder must announce that his super is going out. Say something like "Here it comes. 3, 2, 1 super then use it this allows people to set up properly (more info in an upcoming tip).

If the Templar does not use his ritual of negation then you can not die by being marked. You can time your supers right before he does it and you will be just fine.

 

Everyone Else

 

Try not to kill many of the harpys. The relic holder need the super energy from the kills. Obviously dont let your self die but I think you understand.

 

As the relic holder is shooting his super you can sneak in a rocket or a grenade before you get detained. In most cases he will announce that its going out. Once you see him use it immediately shoot your rocket or throw your grenade then switch over to take out the shield thats probably coming.

 

Gorgon Maze & Jumping Puzzle (Fun Tips!)

 

You can make it all the way down the alternative path from the Templar room with out jumping at all. Moderately hard to do but i find it fun.

 

You can also do the jumping puzzle without jumping once your on the very first platform. As you enter the room theres a ledge off to your left. From there you can get to the very first platform that spawns then you can run from platform to platform all the way down.

 

No jumping!

 

There is also an alternative path and set of platforms that will lead you to atheon. The same ledge on the left as you walk in has a cave above it that will lead you there.

 

Gatekeepers

 

Its best to get someone on top of the Plate that opens the portal before the gatekeeper dies to get it up as quickly as possible.

Level 28s and above can solo a portal in normal so long as they have a good weapon set. In hard a level 29 could do it but its difficult its best to be 30 plus.

 

Anyone who is inside a portal at the moment either gatekeeper dies will become marked. So if you have someone come in with you have them help you till hes at a sliver then wait for them to get out before you down him. This is useful for 2 reasons. 1. you didnt have to cleanse him, 2. hes now outside helping.

 

As soon as the relic is picked up inside the portals the center conflux will spawn. Someone needs to move forward at that moment to hold it down. Usually 2 people. However some are able to solo it so long as it dosent take long for the rest of the party the get there.

As the relic holder There is usually a Minotaur outside of the portal downstairs as your walking out. Destroy it!

 

Once everyone is out side you need to put 2 people up on the front stairs and 2 for each portal, put your relics on either portal. Not sure why but most groups seem to worry too much about the front stairs when thats not where the danger is.

 

The best attack against Praetorians is a jump smash followed by the rapid smash with no jumping.

 

Atheon

 

Relic Holder

 

On Mars side do not jump towards the Hobgoblins. Just walk down towards them they will not notice you until your pretty much on them. Works almost every time.

 

On Venus side use the jump smash followed by rapid smash with no jumping on the Praetorian same as the gatekeepers.

You will only need to do 2 cleanses. the first one right after you kill the mobs. The second in the middle theres a little round plate i direct people to. Your aiming to get out of the portal and to the center as they are killing the last 2 oracles.

 

You need to call out time so people know when to get out. Call 15 secs, 10 secs, and at 5 secs tell everyone to get out. wait until 3 secs and then move.

 

Everyone Else

 

You are able to tell which side the group has been teleported to from the out side by looking at the mini map. When they are on mars the will appear in the bottom left of the mini map. And when there on venus they will appear on the upper right of the mini map

 

On Mars side there is no need to help the relic holder kill the hobgoblins just wit for oracles.

 

On Venus side give the Praetorian a rocket, a grenade, or half a clip then get on oracles immediately.

You must stay near your oracle buddy at all times so the relic holder gets the clenses at the right time. the most important being the second cleanse that should happen in the middle just before you start on the last 2

 

When coming out of the portals the side you are on is the direction you need to turn when you walk out. If your on the left side (mars) turn left. The right side (venus) turn right.

 

If you are going to be putting up weapons of light you need to make sure your getting center early. No time to waste.

If someone is using weapons of light make sure you time it so you are jumping into his bubble and them walking forward into the relic shield.

 

Do not use rockets inside the relic shield!!

 

Do your best not to knock into the relic holder inside the relic shield!!!

 

When the relic holder calls 5 seconds you must get out!!!!

 

Start shooting supplicants as soon as you jump away from the center platform!!!!!

 

TLW There isint one you should read it a lot of good info here.

 

Thanks for reading if i have missed something pleas be sure and let me know ill be happy to add it.

 

Edit Additions!

 

u/SiLeNtKiLLEr68: At Templar if the relic holder is the same level or higher then harpies then R1 (slash/light attack) is the best since it's way quicker then heavy and still one hits the harpies

 

u/zzap2010: I lower my rocket velocity during the Templar fight so I can fire it off before I am detained and it will get there right after the relic holder downs his shield. The relic holder must tell you when he is about to fire and after he fires off his super or you will just waste your rocket.... Not sure if velocity matters much, but it seems to work for me.

 

u/NPLer: Some other tipps:

 

Atheon:

The relic holder can use his super inside the portal to destroy one oracle. Or even drop the relic for a few seconds to help with shooting. Just make sure to announce it, so people won't freak out and take the relic away from you.

 

Gatekeeper:

After you get the first relic out and one person has to go to middle: make sure that this person goes to the very end of the stairs. You can shoot the minotaurs from behind and it gets lots easier. On that way, you can solo it easily.

If you destroy the gatekeeper in the first portal make sure to grab the relic as fast as possible and make your way out IMMEDIATELY. Don't wait until you can cleanse yourself. Have seen some people who wait for that, so I wanted to mention it. You can move faster in the air, if you spam melee button.

 

If you defend the conflux at the gatekeeper part with the relic: make sure not to push the minotaurs through the portal. They will spawn at the conflux and sacrifice themselves, if you do that.

 

u/c45c73: If you have Ward of Dawn, rather than jumping out of the middle platform, have the Titan throw up another Ward. It's a lot safer.

 

u/RainForest8241: During the Atheon fight as the relic holder if you time it right and get out of the portal before oracles are down, run to center, as soon as they kill oracles times vengeance pops up and you have your super, you should have enough time to hit him with the relic super before throwing up the shield before Atheon starts shooting at everyone in center, I do this nearly every time.

u/TatTater: Lots of time, if the minotaur/praetorian is on a slanted surface, they can become invincible to all attacks from the relic (excluding the super) for a bit or they will regenerate health and even come back from the dead. This is why the minotaur in the right portal is such a pain to deal with.

Luke 23:34
'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."
