Oh screw that.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Nope, can't do that now. I have the Scout and Hand Cannons to go. Then the last part. No way I can quit now after putting all that time into it.

But it will be put on the back burner as I plan to work on this:

Today's daily mission has a secret second ending if you run to the third door you have to open, but don't open it. Instead, you run to where you would go for the Taniks strike. Once you get up on the ship, you're given 10 minutes to clear out all the Taken, including a boss.

Your reward: The Black Spindle, an Exotic version of the Black Hammer.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Awesome. So, I haven't done this yet--is it pretty clear how to "not" open the third door so you can run to the Taniks strike area? I want to make sure I don't mess it up. Or can you do it a second time if you don't do it the first?

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

You have to grab orbs to open the doors in this mission. 1st door needs 1, second 2, and the third needs 3. Just ignore the orbs and run straight for the Ketch.

As for messing up, well, the fight is not easy. 10 minutes seems like a lot of time, but the final room is BRUTAL. Gold, McRubick and I couldn't do it, and they decided two tries was enough and did a Raid instead.

If you fail, you have to do the whole mission over again. On top of that, I can't see someone soloing this, so bring a fireteam.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Yeeps. I was hoping two would be enough. Well...maybe not this time then... :P

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Oh, and I forgot to mention, gold, Tosh-ka and myself all got our Exotic Swords. The last step is doing the Sunless Cell Strike with a special ending. There are three Wardens that come out, one for each damage type. Depending on what sword you're going for, you have to save one of the wardens and kill him and the main boss within 30 seconds of eachother. Lots of coordination needed there. The Arc Warden appears first, then Void and finally Solar. The Solar guy is going to be horrible to have to keep alive til the end.

If you do this properly you'll complete the quest and get your Sword. Best news: You don't lose the Legendary sword in the process. So now I have the Legendary Arc Sword, and the Exotic. Oh, and the sword is 310 Attack too ;)

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

This is awesome, because in addition to the 310 weapon, you have access to the blueprint which is 300 damage. You can buy a bunch to infuse your weapons below 300. Guess I know what I will be working on at some point today.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

I'd be up for trying this as well.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Does the sword show up in the Exotic blueprints? If so, at what light level?

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

You pull it out at 280

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

I'd love to try since I did that mission last night, but I think my light level isn't quite there (237)

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Sheeyit i gotta try and get that Black Spindle exotic sniper when i get home, things sick looking

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Seriously, fuck that Black Spindle mission. Gave up after four tries.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Tried 3 runs on the end boss with my friends and we failed. At best we mangaged to get him to half life before time ran out. I had some 290 weapons, but in general i think our light was too low.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Well we killed the boss on the first attempt but ran out of time clearing adds... Want to buy a few more minutes!

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Ya definitely not easy

They said this mission will be in rotation a lot so i'll have to try another day

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

didn't even attempt it
had no desire to waste a bunch of time on that this early on for another weapon

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Scent of the worm chest, the easy way

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Can I get some context for that video? What mission is that?

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

I wanted it so i could buy the blue print multiple times to infuse all my secondaries to 300. Sadly I only had time to try running it once.

I still feel that exotics should be at least 300 since we get a 300 legendary shotty from a quest.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Just thought I would follow up on this. Got my Amazon credit today for $34.08 :)

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

Random though. Arms day is Wednesday. Yesterday, we had a daily with the special section to get an exotic. Coincidence? I doubt it. It would make a lot of sense for Wednesdays to be the day to get the hidden exotics.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

damn, I didn't realize the 310 black spindle was a mistake. Apparently they are going to fix it and change all of them to 290. There goes my plans of infusing crap unless the mission miraculously pops back up before the fix.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
 

I have to say how stupid I feel.

After playing this game for a year, well over 600 effing hours, more than I have ever played any game ever, I feel completely lost.

I guess it is good that there is so much available, but between the sword quests and exclusive strike drops and secret exotic runs and level 1,2 and 3 Court of Oryx and leveling up runes and and yada yada yada, I don't even know where to start. Getting super overwhelmed.
