![]() ![]() The Relic also still has the 10-second countdown that starts when it is dropped, so players need to be quick at picking the Relic up during the relay.įinally, during this encounter, large Gatekeeper Hydras will occasionally appear on the floating block in the middle of the throne room. For this encounter, the Relic is only needed to destroy the Praetorians. The Praetorians’ shields can be destroyed using any damage from the Relic, including its melee attacks. The Praetorian Minotaurs are the most important enemy type in this encounter as they now have white shields that make them completely invincible. Three Praetorians will appear one after the other around the arena, and once they are dead, three Wyverns will spawn around the arena. A conflux also appears in the second phase of this encounter that functions in the same way, although the wave structure of enemies is different. However, if a Praetorian or Wyvern sacrifices itself, that will cause a team wipe. The location of the Praetorian alternates each time, and there are six in total, so three will appear on Venus and three will appear on Mars.įor this encounter, players can allow a few smaller Vex enemies to sacrifice themselves before it causes a team wipe. If a Wyvern spawns, it can be killed immediately, but the Praetorians can only be stopped by the Relic holder. There are always two waves of Goblins, followed by either a Praetorian or a Wyvern, with the next cycle including whichever enemy did not appear the first time. Vex will always march towards it to sacrifice themselves, however they spawn in predictable waves that loop and occur at the same time across Mars and Venus. In the centre of both locations will be a conflux that functions exactly like the ones in the earlier encounter. Meanwhile, Venus is green in color, and features lots of plants making it look like a jungle. Mars is orange and brown in color, with sandy, desert-like features. These locations have identical layouts but are visually quite different. The left plate activates a portal that leads to Mars, and the right plate activates a portal that leads to Venus. The plates and their portals are found on either side of the throne room arena. Any hard-hitting heavy ammo weapon will be good for taking out the larger enemies. An Auto Rifle or SMG, especially the IKELOS SMG with Warmind Cell mods, pairs well with a special ammo Grenade Launcher for getting rid of the regular Vex that move towards the confluxes. The Relic runners will need solid primaries and special weapons that can take out lots of enemies quickly. Since this encounter is a more complex version of the confluxes encounter, players can use a similar loadout that uses a range of weapons that are useful for clearing weaker enemies and strong minibosses. ![]() When all the Vex are dead, the conflux will disappear, and a loot chest will appear nearby.Once the Praetorians are destroyed, three Wyverns will spawn and must be destroyed.Three Praetorian Minotaurs will spawn in the arena and can only be destroyed by the Relic holder.The team must defend the conflux from the incoming Vex.All players need to head towards the new conflux that will spawn in the central area of the throne room.This relay with the Relic repeats until six Praetorians have been destroyed, and then phase two will begin.The spare Relic runner in the throne room must then collect the Relic from the current Relic holder and then take it through the other portal to destroy the Praetorian that has now spawned there.This player will then drop the Relic so that the player that was originally defending the conflux can take it and go back through the portal to the throne room.The current Relic player needs to go through the right portal and use the Relic to destroy the Praetorian before it can sacrifice itself at the conflux. A Praetorian Minotaur will spawn at one of the portal locations. ![]() The remaining Relic player will stay in the throne room and help with defending the plates and destroying any Gatekeepers that appear. One player will pick up the Relic, while another two go through the portals to defend the confluxes from incoming Vex.Meanwhile, the other four Relic runner players will need to destroy the first Gatekeeper to get the Relic shield. Two players need to immediately stand on and defend a plate each to activate the corresponding portal.Here is a basic rundown of all the steps to overcome the Gatekeepers in the Vault of Glass: Phase One: ![]()
