Vendetta and Gigz managed to formulate a strategy that led to Gahlran’s fall despite the hardship of the challenge, and as a result, Vendetta shared a few key details he learned about the Destiny 2 boss with other players. For those struggling with Gahlran, it’s worth highlighting that crystals always rotate clockwise and will detonate in roughly 10 seconds.
Timing melee attacks on the deceptions is key, but with a Warlock that has an empowering melee (or burn damage melee), the buff lasts a little longer. Swapping buffs doesn’t require both players to stand within the Witch’s Vessel circles, as long as one stays inside the circle and both still shoot the ball in the center. Also, staying close to Gahlran will result in his Jotunn adds always missing, which makes survival in this Destiny 2 raid a lot easier to manage.
Notably, having a good weapon loadout is also important in completing the raid (and any particular challenge run), and Vendetta is rocking the Destiny 2 Mountaintop grenade launcher, the season 5 Crucible pinnacle weapon. It requires to ultimately hit Fabled rank in comp and earn tons of grenade launcher kills, so those interested in the weapon will need to grind.
Congratulations to Vendetta and Gigz’s for their achievement.
