The ogre Golgoroth plays the lead role in Destiny this week: He has the challenge mode.

Since last week there has been a challenge mode in the raid. Last week it was the War Priest, this week it is Golgoroth’s turn. Next week it will be Oryx.

The idea: You have to defeat the challenge boss in a “special way” to receive big bonus loot (and one of the last calcified fragments).

The problem: Bungie does not tell us how this way should look, but leaves us in the dark until someone figures it out.

We will keep you updated on how the community is doing, which tactics seem to promise success, and what loot rains down in Destiny this time.

Update 11:20: Golgoroth proves to be significantly tougher than the War Priest last week. Nobody really knows which tactic promises success, what has to be done. He has already been defeated a few times with different strategies. However: So far, no one has received the additional loot. At least not that we know of. Several teams are trying it. It is currently swarm intelligence against giant ogres.

This is how you can complete the Golgoroth challenge in Destiny

Update 11:30: The first ones have probably defeated him, at least one is wearing the new emblem. The tactic seems to be “6 orbs, 6 different people getting the gaze, done in 2 rotations.” The gaze bearer must always switch, so that all 6 Guardians are busy with the gaze once.

This means that a different person must always receive the wrath (all 6 players once each). Regarding the orbs that are hanging above, it seems they do not play a big role.

The “normal” strategy seems to be assigning one Guardian to each orb so that they are the gaze bearer. Once all 6 have had their turn within a rotation, it starts over. When Golgoroth falls in the 2nd rotation is not crucial, but the gaze bearer still needs to be switched.

The cheese strategy for Golgoroth

In a “cheese” strategy, only one orb is used. Every player must be a gaze bearer once without the gaze running out. The first player gets the gaze, the other 5 do damage to the boss. When the first player is at “5 seconds,” a second player takes the gaze. The second player runs out of the puddle and shoots Golgoroth in the vulnerable spot on the back. Now the other 4 players also leave the pit.

In a previously established order, each of the other 4 players then shoots Golgoroth in the back to become the gaze bearer themselves. The last player to get the gaze can then let it run out. This repeats until Golgoroth dies. In each phase, all Guardians must have had the gaze – unless Golgoroth dies in the phase.

These are the rewards

11:40: First reports about the loot are coming in. There are

• the emblem (above),
• a calcified fragment
• a 320 armor piece (chest has already been confirmed, gloves have been seen, legs too)
• and a 320 artifact.

It will probably be like this again: Besides the “normal loot” that Golgoroth can drop, there will be bonus challenge rewards then fixed at 310 (normal) and 320 (hard mode).

In the MMO shooter Destiny, there is a lot happening today on December 8: In addition to the Twilight strike, there is a new challenge in the raid and the patch is also coming.

Patch on December 8 for Destiny is coming

First, what everyone wants to know. The December update for Destiny is coming, but not at 10:00 AM as usual, but at 7:00 PM tonight on December 8. At the moment, it looks like there will be NO major maintenance. It will probably just be a “You just need to log out and download the patch” kind of thing. The long maintenance happened last Thursday.

There’s some relief regarding the 1000 Silver record book, which players thought was going in the “Pay2Win” direction. The items earned for completing the more difficult tasks are purely cosmetic. They have a defense value of 3.

The patch will bring a lot of new stuff, which we will look at in a dedicated article.

Challenge Mode in Raid: Golgoroth

This week, Golgoroth, the ogre, will feature a special challenge mode in the raid. There will be no changes to the boss fight itself; the ogre just needs to be defeated in a specific way to drop special loot. Last time, that was guaranteed 320 items, so it was very rewarding.

We will be dealing with Golgoroth in a dedicated article.

Weekly Twilight Strike on December 8 is Double Toads

The Shield Brothers strike is this week’s Nightfall.

Modifiers are:

• Specialist – Special weapons are preferred
• Chaff – Radar is broken
• Fresh Troops – enemy packs have been replenished
• Airborne – Guardians deal more damage while in the air

Remember: Tonight, 15 fresh Exotics will be released. It might be an idea to delay the Twilight strike until then.

T3 Boss in Oryx’s Courtyard this Week

The T3 boss this week is Kagoor – the witch with the ogre buddies.

Are there guides, tips, tricks, and videos?

Here, we will present videos of successful runs throughout this probably Destiny-filled day.

A run through the Shield Brothers Nightfall can be seen in this current video:

And how Kagoor, the T3 witch in Oryx’s courtyard in Destiny, is dealt with can be seen in this short guide:

In the MMO shooter Destiny , extraordinary videos of the week have been featured this week. They show that you can achieve a lot even alone in an MMO.

This week’s selection by Bungie is so impressive that we have already featured some videos on the website.

The solo kill on Oryx is number one:

Followed by the “blind solo kill” on Oryx’s son Crota.

In PvP, this striker had a moment of glory.

And this grenade was so good that we already showed it here last week:

Strong selection by Bungie, we also contribute a solo performance. LEGO YouTuber Zazinombies has tackled the 4th Horseman.

This video comes from our community, not quite solo, but features many 1v3 actions, a PvP montage:

And so another week in Destiny comes to an end. Tomorrow, the big December patch will come, which will change a lot. Enjoy the videos and here’s to an exciting new week, Guardians.

In Destiny, the Sparrow Racing event is a major occasion. More details are known, such as the race tracks and rewards.

Tomorrow evening will mark the first time that Bungie launches a “real event,” as it has been more cosmetic in nature up to now. Halloween 2014 had just a nice graphic effect, and Halloween 2015 already had a bonus Crucible map and all sorts of commotion in the Tower. But for the Sparrow Racing that starts tomorrow evening, they have really come up with something exciting. This has become clear in the last few hours: This is not just a bit of color, but alternative gameplay content.

The Race Itself – Sparrio Kart

The race itself has already taken on the nickname “Sparrio Kart,” running similarly to the cult hit “Mario Kart” in a Destiny variant: It is 6-player death matches. You can either race against your friends or through matchmaking against strangers.

Racing takes place on two race tracks Campus Martius on Mars, which is the beginner’s track, and Infinite Descent on Venus, the advanced track. Mars has more enemies and obstacles, but Venus is more challenging with its curves, shortcuts, and jumps. Both tracks have been redesigned. And it is warned: The aliens will shoot at you; they want to join in.

On Venus, it will always go downhill, and a portal will take you back up at the end.

The goal of the races is to always hit the “gates” because they give a speed boost. It is helpful if competitors miss their gates, and a good shove can help.

On the tracks, in addition to annoying NPC enemies, there are also other obstacles, like giant death wheels. The usual stuff.

Which Sparrow you choose should not make a difference for the race. As long as everyone is using legendary Sparrows, no one should have an advantage. If someone uses a “Tumbler” Sparrow, they cannot rely on some of the “normal” moves, but instead, they replace them.

Players will see a speedometer displayed while they drive.

The Rewards – What is Known So Far

The rewards are heavily based on the known loot system so far.

As with normal activities, there will be random rewards at the end of a race. These are not tied to the place you finish. To reward “performance,” there are the bounties. Rewards at the end of races include light particles, strange coins, “Racing Gear”, engrams, and horns.

The “Horns” function like the masks from the Halloween event. You first receive the various horns in blue, which can then be made “permanent” by upgrading them with a material. A bit silly to say, but: The different horns make different sounds. There are bicycle bells, foghorns, and little melodies.

Speaking of horns, the vendor for the event is Amanda Holiday. You can purchase items from her, and there are bounties like “Catch 60 Gates.” There will also be reputation points, like those known from other vendors, and a quest series. As you increase your reputation, there are reward packages, new quest steps, and better rewards.

PlayStation players receive an “exclusive quest” that culminates in this Sparrow:
By the way, there is supposed to be a PlayStation-exclusive armor set offered as an “alternative” to the normal one at the next Iron Banner.

Further rewards from the races, as far as known and reported:

• Various Sparrows
• And especially “Racing Gear,” which consists of items that are only needed for the race – these are the colorable suits that make a big impression. They have perks that are relevant in the race. These include helmets, chest armor, boots, gloves, and class items. These suits are therefore not usable for combat.

• The Sparrows will have their own horns; this is a new item slot.

It Seems the Racing Gear Can Go Up to 320 and Be Used as Infusion Fuel

And the surprisingly unshaven community manager DeeJ said in this interview that there is gear up to 320 to be earned. However, it is still not known exactly how this will happen. During the event, placeholder items were apparently used – they had defense values of 3.

It could be intended that up to 320 “Racing Armor” will drop and that it is used as infusion fuel for your “real items.”

Additionally, further items related to the race will come to the cash shop, which is being controversially discussed is a 1,000 Silver item, a “Record Book,” that includes advanced bounties and unlocks rewards. We will have to see if this will actually come to the cash shop on Tuesday.

The event itself is free for anyone who owns The Taken King. It will last until December 29. The start time is expected to be tomorrow evening when the patch is rolled out, which also changes the weapon balance, brings 15 Exotics and changes the Titans.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , changes to the Silver Shop are coming. It will become more random. Additionally, 14 new emotes will likely be introduced.

It has somewhat fallen under the radar amidst the hustle and bustle of recent days. Destiny plans changes for Tess Everis, for the cash shop of Destiny. In the last Weekly Update, it was stated: What they are currently selling will be done “in bags,” which will then cost Silver. Currently, players can purchase the emotes “individually”, paying a set price. So, you know what you are getting for your Silver. It seems that with the changes on Tuesday, this may not be fully possible anymore.

Since Destiny players really like the lottery system… We will see how this plays out on Tuesday evening. The December patch is expected to be released then.

Update: Some YouTubers have already brought the new cash shop from the event, along with the emotes, showcasing everything that is included. Well, that was quick.

New emotes and sparrows coming on Tuesday evening with the patch

The items include new emotes, new sparrows, and a currently mysterious “Racing Book.” It seems that players can buy this book, which then tracks their records, such as how often they finished races, how many speed gates they hit, and how many tricks they performed. According to initial screenshots, this will cost 1000 Silver. The book can then be opened to display these statistics. It appears that a bounty is associated with it.

There will likely also be some “mystery bags,” with the first giving a chance at a random legendary sparrow that the player does not already own. They want 500 Silver for that.

The second package for 100 Silver guarantees a random sparrow horn and a chance at an EV-43 Lightrunner. The sparrow horns are likely a new item slot, presumably “horns” for the sparrows.

For 200 Silver, players will receive an emote from Fall 2015. It is said to be “highly likely to get an emote that you currently do not own,” they say.

For 300 Silver, there is a “pack of gestures,” which includes the air kiss and congratulations. Another pack for 300 Silver includes the crouch and scheming.

YouTuber Mesa Sean showcases the new emotes in a video that he believes will come on Tuesday evening:

These are the 14 new emotes

These 14 gestures are expected to arrive in Destiny with the December patch on December 8:

• Victory Wave – cheering at one’s countless fans
• Air Guitar – playing the air guitar
• Jump on it – suspiciously reminiscent of Gangnam Style, like Carlton from the TV series Prince of Bel-Air
• Bow Down – paying respect in Destiny through a strong worship gesture
• Jazz Hands – shaking one’s hands in a somewhat silly manner – a typical dance gesture
• Facepalm – the famous “head-in-hand” gesture
• Laugh – a hearty laugh
• Flip Coin – a coin toss
• Thumbs Down – thumbs down
• Thumbs Up – and the thumb goes up
• Clap – a normal clap
• Sad – oh, boohoo, someone is crying
• Yawn – a hearty yawn
• Frustrated – man, how can you!

The “cheering” seems to be directly linked to the Racing Event and is legendary (purple). Just like the other 5 new emotes in Destiny that we mentioned first (which might cost about 500 Silver), the rest should cost 200 Silver each.
