‘Destiny’ Weekly Reset For November 24, Sunless Cell Just Got Darker
Bungie pressed the reset button Destiny early Tuesday morning, bringing an end to the Iron Banner frivolities. It’s hard to follow a week that saw a significant update to the PlayStation and Xbox game plus the best Iron Banner since the launch of The Taken King. It’s also a holiday week in the United States with the arrival of Thanksgiving, thus much of Bungie will be out of the office. In short, this is a pretty standard Weekly Reset.
Alak-Hul returns to haunt Guardians in the dark of the Sunless Cell via the Nightfall Strike this week. Stumbling around in the blackness of the cell just got more interesting, as the “Chaff” modifier was made active, which disables player radar. In addition to not being able to see where enemies are coming from, the “Berserk” modifier will keep minions steadily chasing after you and “Fresh Troops” will make sure there are more of them.
There is no elemental burn modifier for the Night this week. The good news is the “Specialist” modifier is active to make all those Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, and Fusion Rifles twice as deadly.
Nightfall — Sunless Cell
Ocean of Storms, Moon: Board the fallen Ketch above the Moon and defeat the notorious Taniks, the Scarred.
Modifiers
- Epic — Heavily shielded and highly aggressive enemies appear in great numbers.
- Berserk — Minions of the Darkness won’t flinch, even after massive damage.
- Specialist — Special Weapon damage is favored.
- Chaff — Player radar is disabled.
- Fresh Troops — Some enemy squads have been fortified with additional reinforcements.
Vanguard Heroic Strikes
Modifiers
- Heroic — Enemies are more numerous and aggressive.
- Fresh Troops — Some enemy squads have been fortified with additional reinforcements.
Court of Oryx (Guide)
Tier 3: Thalnok, Fanatic of Crota
This is one of the more challenging boss fights in Court of Oryx simply because there is a lot going on between dealing with multiple minions, including Ogres, and attempting to gain buffs.
Kagoor is immune to damage until the Servite Ogre is defeated. This Ogre has loads of health, though, and other Ogres to help it, along with Devoured Shadows and Maleficent Eyes. Destroying the Eyes gives a buff called Ogre’s Fury that stacks up to three times and increases the damage done to Ogres.
Players will need to use the rocks and pillars to avoid the Servite Ogre’s attacks and bring it down. Once the Servite is dead, attack Kagoor quickly with heavy weapons and super abilities to bring him down.
