‘Destiny’ Weekly Reset For March 1: Gogorth’s Belly, Psion Flayers Await
From the archive: published Mar 1, 2016, 10 years ago. Details may have changed since.
Iron Banner has ended for Destiny, and once again, the game hits a lull in between events for the weekly reset starting March 1. The King’s Fall Challenge mode progresses to Golgorth this week, while the Psion Flayers return once again in the Nightfall to be slaughtered by PlayStation and Xbox players.
King’s Fall Raid Challenge Mode — Golgoroth
The easiest strategy deduced in the Destiny Reddit group is to start with the normal single orb strategy with a single gaze holder, and the rest of the fireteam doing damage from one of the orb pools in the pit. However, instead of allowing the gaze to be lost, the next gaze holder should jump out of the pit with approximately five seconds left on the gaze holder’s counter and take Golgoroth’s gaze by shooting him in the back.
If the Cursed Thrall have not come out yet, the rest of the Fireteam can drop another bubble and do damage to Golgoroth. The entire fireteam should exit the pit when they do appear, though.
A third fireteam member should shoot Golgoroth in the back and take the gaze when the second gaze holder comes near the end of their countdown or before. Then the fourth, fifth, and sixth.
The entire fireteam should pass Golgoroth’s gaze around until all six have held it. When it reaches the sixth gaze holder, it is safe to let the gaze go at this point.
Tip: The last gaze holder should run around the arena to avoid the tracking bombs Golgoroth shoots. Fireteam members should help destroy the tracking bombs, clear minions, and continue to shoot Gologoroth in the opening in his belly.
The above steps of passing the gaze around the fireteam will need to be repeated during each damage phase until Golgoroth is killed. It will take coordination and planning the order in which the gaze will be held.
The rewards for Normal mode are a guaranteed 310 armor piece (excludes helmet) and a Calcified Fragment. The Hard mode loot is the same as normal plus a 320 armor piece (excludes helmet), a 320 Artifact, and an Emblem. The regular Golgoroth loot rewards are also a possibility.

Court of Oryx (Guide )
Tier 3: Kagoor
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.
