Hollowed Lair GM...To all those brave souls

[Bubbagumps]

Still attempting to get a completion of this. If youre comfortable with your skills, then by all means go ahead and farm this GM, but to me it is NOT worth farming this for the adept weapons this week. Im just getting one completion and never touch this again. (Its getting vaulted anyway so good riddance).

So Hallowed Lair, if you hate scorn you will absolutely despise them in this GM. Like seriously Scorn have to be the most annoying enemies in the game. Lurkers, Ravagers that get in your face, Stalkers spawning miniscreebs that glitch on the floor, Overload Champs spitting in your face with their arc bombs, and so MANY TOTEMS. Not going to go in exquisite detail for this one but some tips to make your run a bit more bearable.

I think the most optimal setup for this GM is one Stasis Warlock, one Invis Hunter and a Banner Titan/Welllock. Honestly Well feels so pointless in this GM because you are RARELY going to have many spots where you will be standing still. So Banner Shield is honestly much more useful here or a nightstalker Hunter. Resist mods are NEEDED here. and Ticcu's makes ad clear and breeze. Arbalest is also a good choice to break the Boss shield fast and a Blinding Nades GL will save you.

The 3 major encounters in this GM are the Tank Room, The Double Plate Room and the Boss.

Tank Room: its better to go invis and go inside but if you guys are coordinated enough use a well and take out enemies at the door. Youre going to get bombarded by alot but the biggest thing to kill are the ads and the snipers. The snipers had GODLY AIM and will one shot you if youre in plain sight. If you see the Stalker grenades fly towards you STAY BACK they will also oneshot you. Once you clear the room get the plate to 90% (you may need to jump on and off it) Then back away and clear ads and the two unstops.
After that clear the plate and focus on ONE leg of the Walker. Try to get the one phase on the Walker because if you dont kill it, another wave of ads will spawn.

Double Plate Room: This one is pretty straight forward, its better to clear ads then do one plate at a time. Step on plate until ads spawn, kill ads and champs, then step on plate again until its cleared. Kill the last two overload champs then focus the big ogre miniboss.

Boss Room: Oh boi this boss room has to be the absolute worst, BUT at least you have some viable cover. And if you didnt learn the mechanics of this boss room, well you about to learn today. When you enter the room and trigger the boss. GO TO THE LEFT SIDE. Dont stay in the middle. The middle is actually the worst place to hide and camp because ads can and WILL swarm you. Ads will spawn on the right side so its best to stay on the other side and funnel them to you. Once you clear ads, focus damage to the boss. Watch for the lightning strikes and his staff attacks, they will one shot you. Repeat the process until the boss teleports then focus one super at a time on each ad rush that spawn. Dont go all out with your supers on this one, you need to save them. Again Ticcus does WONDERS and use blinding nades if you are in a pickle. Its better to stay on one side of the room and let the waves of enemies come to you rather than stayin in the middle and have them rush you at all sides. Once the rush is cleared the boss will appear again and resume dps until he does his tethering mechanics. Break the shield then move to the right side because ads will spawn to the left. Focus ads rather than boss then resume boss dps. He will tether you two times in between dps phases and there will be an ad swarm everytime he leaves. Watch your back, DO NOT be afraid to move around if you need to and honestly for lfg its better to just go into a VC for callouts (really itll help alot).

May your runs be prosperous and more power to us trying to get conqueror, its been a BRUTAL rotation.

People usually wait until the nightfall and rewards align for most efficient farming. Lake of Shadows, devil's lair are probably two of the easiest to farm, speaking of which it's lake of Shadows next week and it's hot head and hung jury, the latter is being taken out of rotation so if people still don't have one they should get on it. Also hothead is one of the best legendary rl's if not the best because if adept big ones so grab one while you can, will be even more interesting with the RL buffs next season.
