In the MMO shooter Destiny, the weekend event Trials of Osiris is active. It takes place on the map “Burning Shrine.”
Outside, the sun beats down mercilessly on a groaning Germany, and on PlayStation or Xbox, the next round of Trials of Osiris or Dark Age of Thorn-a-lot, as some call the PvP event in Destiny, is underway. Okay, we just made up that last name.
The “Burning Shrine” is back. This is also the map that started the event back then. It is a relatively balanced map. Tactics with shotguns and hand cannons work well for teams that want to push aggressively and set the pace. But snipers also get their fair share, especially when the fight moves outside.
This is what the Burning Shrine looks like
Here we have a map of the Burning Shrine with terms you can use to coordinate tactically:
And on this heat map, you can see where the Guardians were located when the map was active for the first time in the Trials in Destiny.
Tips on the Trials of Osiris map from top players in the video
For the map, our friend Nexxoss provides another guide video on how he succeeded on Mercury. He and his team prefer an aggressive tactic, attacking opponents from multiple directions, flanking them, taking the initiative, applying pressure, and aiming for the first kill, which is quickly followed by more.
It looks damn much like a “Thorn” week in this video as well.
And The Legend himself has a few nasty tricks
One of the strongest players in Destiny overall, at least in PvE, scSlayerAge has also posted a video explaining tips and tricks in English. This includes how to use the rotating doors to your advantage.
He also has a few nasty tricks up his sleeve, suggesting that once you have taken down 2 opponents, you should prolong the round as long as possible, because then 3 members of your own team build Super energy, while only one member of the opposing team does. Sneaky … – Normally, players in this situation try to end the match quickly. SlayerAge advises to wait it out and take advantage of the situation.
In addition, he invokes the advantages of the shotgun as the ultimate “pursuit weapon” when it comes to preventing opponents from being revived. As a primary weapon, SlayerAge actually recommends something quite revolutionary: the hand cannon Thorn. You may have heard of it.
scSlayerAge is one of the players who has earned respect and recognition in Destiny through spectacular actions in raids. And he swears by the despised combination of Thorn and shotgun. Because, as he points out, even if both should be nerfed, it’s part of being a pro player to use what is objectively the strongest. Whether frowned upon or not, it doesn’t matter.
