·Multi-source verified (74/74)

Location:

Throne World (Vow of the Disciple Raid)

Mechanics:

  1. Symbols & Buffs: The fight revolves around 'Pervading Darkness' (a debuff), 'Leeching Force', and 'Emanating Force' buffs, and a complex symbol-matching mechanic.
  2. Glaive Attacks: Rhulk uses powerful Glaive attacks that push you back.
  3. Damage Phase: Requires specific mechanics to activate.

Strategy:

Rhulk is a fast-paced, mechanically intense fight. The team splits into two groups: one to manage symbols and buffs, and another to clear adds and prepare for damage. Guardians will need to transfer 'Leeching Force' and 'Emanating Force' buffs by shooting specific symbols on pillars. The 'Pervading Darkness' debuff must be cleansed by standing in a specific area. During the damage phase, Rhulk will charge at you with his Glaive. You must shoot his weak spots (shoulders, then chest) to stun him and create a damage window. Communication and precise execution of the symbol mechanic are paramount.

Weaknesses:

  • Precision damage on weak spots.
  • High burst damage during stun windows.

Rewards:

  • Vow of the Disciple Raid Legendary Gear
  • Collective Obligation (Exotic Pulse Rifle - rare drop)
