Master the Cult of the Worm Prison of Elders challenge in Destiny! Learn enemy types, modifiers, and strategies for each round, including the Gulrot boss fight.
Alright, let's break down the 'Cult of the Worm' challenge in Destiny's Prison of Elders. This one's a bit of a gauntlet, throwing different enemy factions and tricky modifiers at you before you face a specific boss. Think of it as a test of your adaptability!
- 1Round 1: You'll be facing off against the Vex. Keep an eye out for the 'Airborne' modifier, meaning your jump-heavy abilities and weapons will be more effective, but watch out for enemies in the air too. There's no specific objective here other than survival and clearing the waves.
- 2Round 2: Time to switch gears! This round pits you against the Hive. The 'Grounded' modifier is active, so staying on the ground and using cover will be key. Your objective here is to 'Kill target', so focus fire on the priority enemy when they appear.
- 3Round 3: Back to the Vex, but with a twist. The 'Void Burn' modifier means Void damage you deal is significantly amplified, but so is the Void damage you take. Be extra careful with your positioning and consider using Void-based weapons or abilities if you have them. Again, no specific objective beyond clearing the round.
- 4Round 4: More Hive! This time, the 'Angry' modifier is in play, meaning enemies will likely be more aggressive and hit harder. Your objective is to 'Destroy mines', so keep an eye out for those explosive devices and take them out quickly before they cause too much trouble.
- 5Round 5: The final round before the boss. It's the Hive again, and this time the 'Exposure' modifier is active. This means your shields will recharge much slower, so relying on health regeneration and careful engagements is crucial. Your objective is to 'Kill Gulrot, Unclean'.
Boss Fight: Gulrot, Unclean
Gulrot itself is an Ogre Ultra, and it's got a nasty trick up its sleeve: a special attack that drastically slows you down, almost to a standstill. You can still aim and turn, but moving is incredibly difficult for a few seconds. The best strategy here is to use the left side of the map for cover. When Gulrot uses its slowing attack, duck behind cover. You'll be able to wait it out and then re-engage once it's over. Focus fire on Gulrot while avoiding its slowing ability, and you'll take it down.
- Pay close attention to the modifiers each round; they drastically change how you should approach the fight.
- Void Burn in Round 3 is a great opportunity for Void subclasses or weapons to shine, but don't get reckless.
- For the Gulrot fight, always be aware of your surroundings and have an escape route to cover when its slowing attack is coming.
- Don't forget to utilize your Super and heavy weapons on the boss when you have a clear opening.
