Illustrations for Daughter Bosses Stage
Illustrations for Daughter Bosses Stage
For the past week, I've been in a Raid team full of deaf gamers for the King's Fall Raid normal mode. Only three of the players do not get to raid in KF often, except me and two other players. It was a learning experience for them (few have higher light levels than mine, though I have the most experience in normal raids). We communicated with each other via Glide app since we used sign language.
The Warpriest stage took two separate days to complete (since few of us lived in different time zones). The hard part is not knowing which sequential plate to activate based on light indicator from one of the 3 stone statues. So one experienced player volunteered to see which light come on and shoot at player to jump at a sequential plate, then next and then third. There were many errors but we nailed the situation right down to the bat and got the Warpriest.
Saturday night and last night, we got to the Golgoroth stage until we succeeded in taking it down.
After that, we ran all the way to Orxy's throne room and for the Daughter Bosses stage. We had the devil of a time in pulling this off because three players have no experience as Torn and two of us have higher-light Touch of Malice. Two players seem clueless as to jump on the pillar where the relic is located above when we ran the Daughter A fight stage and I told them to get off that pillar! One player kept interrupting us with his confusing strategy for where we hold pillars and know the location of relic. The said experienced player and I thought that player is wrong with his strategy.
We ran it several times and failed each time. I was Torn duty several times and couple players didn't hold down the pillars, which made platforms disappeared. There were only couple times I ran the wrong way because one of the players jumped on pillars in wrong sequential ordering. The wrong-strategy player had a spat with the said experienced player on Glide and left the raid. We were a 5 man team, hoping for any other deaf player to join us. No go and we did not finish this stage.
So last night, I went to my computer and put together illustrations on the Daughter Bosses stage. I hope I got this one. It is in PDF and here is the link below, download it. Please review and give me feedback. Much thanks!
Daughter Bosses Stage illustrations
Looks like a pretty reasonable diagram.
You might want to add a section about what to do for the damage phase and the responsibility of the relic holder and the others.
Relic holder takes the appropriate daughter's "shield" (land on the daughter's platform and hold X) and then jumps down to where the Fireteam is assembled (in the location you've marked). Then everybody damages the daughter - ToM, snipers, machine gun are preferred, but make sure everybody stays in the aura.
Hopefully you'll get the daughter down in one go and then things will reset and you'll do the same thing for the second daughter.
Just my clumsy write-up, so word it however is best.
Thanks, DT! The primary aims are to show the deaf gamers what is going on when a relic is located over a pillar, know which pillar to hold, and the relic-holder knowing where to go get the relic and then try to land on Daughter Boss A. At the same time the rest of fireteam fight off the adds. The guys I was with know where to step up to center block to shoot at Daughter Boss A.
Didn't know about the machine guns can damage Daughters.
Remarkable feats for an all deaf fireteam. kudos to you guys.
Thanks!
Might want to mention covering the snipers. Other than that it's a pretty complete description.
We got the Taken snipers! :)
The deaf read crew I was with last night finally took down the Daughters after several tries. Tonight, we're going to try to complete the final Oryx stage. Few of the crew haven't experience that part. They are going to have to learn taking down the four ogres and the sword knight are important priorities to pull off.
Congrats to you and your team, DatBasementCat. No idea how you pull it off. Any tricks or special apps you guys use to communicate when you raid? Or is it just waving/shooting each other and Xbox messaging?
Thanks, we used Glide app since all of us used sign language. Dancing/waving options were also used as signals to proceed.
We successfully completed the raid in the final Orxy stage and I was the relic getter for the entire (nearly) 4 hours of trying - three of the players have never reach this final stage before and two of us pros have spent time explaining to them what to do, how to kill ogres, how to detonate when time is right, etc. One of the players had a King's Fall raid bounty that he never get to complete since last fall!
Recently, the deaf raid crew discussed about going on hard mode raid this week. Lol.
Getting through Oryx with half new people is a great accomplishment, in any amount of time. And now we know who we can ask to run the relic!
