Master the Templar boss fight in Destiny: The Taken King. Learn mechanics like Construct defense, Fanatics, Mark of Negation, Oracles, and the Relic.
Walkthrough
- 1Phase 1 - Gauntlet: Defend the Construct(s) from Vex sacrifices. Lure Fanatics away to avoid the Mark of Negation. Use the Cleansing Ring to remove the debuff if afflicted. The first wave has one Construct, the second has two, and the third has three. A checkpoint is awarded upon completion.
- 2Phase 2 - Oracles: Seven Oracles spawn in various locations. Destroy all 12 rounds of Oracles quickly using powerful attacks or Super Abilities. Failure to destroy them all results in the Mark of Negation affecting the entire party, followed by the Templar's Ritual of Negation. A checkpoint is awarded upon completion.
- 3Phase 3 - The Templar: The Relic appears in the Cleansing Ring. Pick it up and use its Super Ability to break the Templar's shield.
- Strategy 1 (Safer): Position yourself on floating structures to the left of the Templar's usual location to avoid Harpies and Oracles. Use the Relic to cleanse debuffs and break the Templar's shield.
- 4Strategy 2 (Standard): Spread out. Prioritize destroying Oracles when they appear. Then, break the Templar's shield and attack. Interrupt the Templar's teleports by standing on the teleport location to keep its shield down.
Tips
- The Relic must be held at all times. If the user is defeated, it must be picked up within 6 seconds, otherwise, the Curse of the Aegis will kill the party.
- When the Templar's shield is broken, some players may be encased in a Suppression Field that must be destroyed quickly to avoid death.
- Hobgoblins have a weak point at their yellow center. If not defeated in one shot, they gain a Solar Shield.
