This solution is simply to inform of the differences between Normal and Heroic so i am assuming you know the basic mechanics of all the encounters.
Recommended Light 305, 310 by Oryx
General
- All lvl 42 enemies
- No revives other than Sunsinger self revive
Jump Puzzle
- No ledge checkpoint on the Tomb Ship jump puzzle
Totem
- Half way through the Totem encounter, Knights on the center plate will spawn as Majors
Warpriest
- Warpriest gets added abilities for each obelisk he destroys. The center one grants him the Taken Hobgoblin ability, right one Taken Captain, and left one Taken Centurion.
Golgoroth
- Damage pools dissipate quicker
- A de buff called Unstable Light is randomly added to those that have been in the damage pools. The de buff will make your screen glow green, and give you a counter at the bottom. When the counter expires you will explode like a thrall. The explosion doesnt hurt the person with the de buff, or enemies. It only hurts teammates.
Daughters
- Daughters will begin their song immediately after a damage sequence. No recovery time
Oryx
- Immediately after killing the Ogres, a Knight will spawn. This Knight will devour bombs on the field if you do not kill them. Looking at the Ogre, the knight will spawn directly behind you, and also across from you.
So if you think of the ogres/plates as being Spawn Left = 1, Spawn Right = 2, Oryx Right = 3, and Oryx Left = 4 the Knight placement will be like this.
Knight 1 spawns behind Plate 2
Knight 2 behind Plate 1
Knight 3 behind Plate 4
Knight 4 behind Plate 3

Can I get the achievement from the 390 light raid?
By gregk1ler on 10 Apr 2017 17:09
Do you have to play the raid from beginning to end of can you just play from each of the boss checkpoints?
jus doing the boss worked for the previous achievement i know, but i cant confirm on this one either way
By C M0NET on 24 Oct 2015 21:49
Some people have said the achievement hasn't been unlocking after beating hard mode. Anything to do besides going through on the hard difficulty?
By RellikGod on 25 Oct 2015 01:24
Nope. I jus beat it for the unlock. Destiny seems to have issues with unlocking achievements in general though. Been that way since launch
By C M0NET on 25 Oct 2015 01:45
The thing hardest with this stupid puzzle raid is finding people to do it since bungie is to cheap to have matchmaking for it.
By AirNath on 25 Oct 2015 15:22
Ever heard of Lfg Airnath? very easy to find teams.
By ll BENNO ll on 25 Oct 2015 15:24
@AirNath, matchmaking would NEVER work.
By ATCS on 25 Oct 2015 23:55
thank god there is no matchmaking for raids; being matched with low level randoms who don't wear a mic would be hell.
The "No Knight" strategy worked for me. Damage the ogres, but do not kill them until after you stagger Oryx. Have 3 dedicated platform people (warlocks). 2 titans that stand at the daughters platform opposite Oryx. The 3 warlocks do nothing while the titans weaken the ogres. Once the runner gets the relic, the 3 warlocks head to the titans directly from the platforms. Titans are using blessings of light with touch of malices. Stagger Oryx. Kill the ogres. Relic holder and floater jump to the middle while the 4 orbs are detonated. Run back to the middle and damage Oryx. Rinse and repeat.

Yeah people on the LFG site are looking for either 310 or 311 people to play with. I am 309 and even beat all of hardmode up to Oryx. Its kinda silly.
By Bleach XBA on 28 Oct 2015 03:19
Not all of the teams are looking for 310 and up there's quite a few looking for lower levels, you just have to be patient i guess.
By ll BENNO ll on 28 Oct 2015 11:07
One thing for the warpriest encounter: if you have the aura as a sunsinger you can't use self-res if you die. I've come across a few groups that only want to have sunsingers as auraholders but that doesn't work as they intend.

Yes it is, it's the challenge mode that isn't out yet
By liviaro on 31 Oct 2015 22:00
People might be looking for 310's and higher, but you should be able to get in there starting your own group, and running through sisters with a group that averages 305+. If you get lucky with drops, you could be over 310 by the time you get to Oryx. If the team isn't working (or doesn't have enough light) just hit the LFG boards. All classes are helpful, and each can serve in multiple roles. There are ALWAYS people looking for Oryx groups. Grab the cp and form your own team, even if only to practice!

I was 306 when I first tried got to oryx then they all quit so I waited until reset did that again. Now I'm a 313 titan I'll kill oryx I used patiance to my advantage (I always found a fun group on the bungie.net forums and I usually help lowers levels through if I'm not busy.)
By Ash qz on 11 Nov 2015 03:16
i also want to know if you can just join someones cp and finish up for this achievement. everytime i get into a group from fresh, we can NEVER stick it out to the end. or someone gets frustrated and bails. i can get to 310 but feel underpowered for some reason. i cant get any better without doing this raid but i cant ever get into a SUCCESSFUL team
By RiseofMrBlonde2 on 25 Feb 2016 02:46
You only need to kill Oryx to get this achievement so yes you can join someones cp.
By liviaro on 25 Feb 2016 15:54
Tired of the LFG kids and their crap, this achievement has been lingering in my list too long. I'm just looking to get it done so if any of you guys are having the same problems message me on Xbox One so we can assemble a raid team and complete this. GT: i IR0N MIKE
By ŤRIBULXTIONŠ on 19 Apr 2016 13:28
Does this stack with Epic Raider?
By Bastiaen on 26 Apr 2016 16:25
I'm a 305 and looking to get this as its my last achieve and can be done with it

By andrew544 on 01 Aug 2016 06:44
thanks liviaro! you answered my question.
By Shadow XBL on 06 Sep 2016 14:43
No problem Shadow, happy to help :)
By liviaro on 07 Sep 2016 13:06
I have two questions. Can I earn both achievements just by playing on Hard mode?
Second: Can i earn an achievment only by beating Oryx (not full raid playtrough)
By Dredgen on 03 Oct 2016 12:40
Yes and yes markusfenix75

I got it there just yesterday. Had to switch profile to make it pop.
By gregk1ler on 16 Apr 2017 15:49
I need a group on 360 kf. I have oryx cp on hard. Pls msg me n c u guys there.
By SIDEAURAJOH on 05 Apr 2018 03:16
@rellikGod if you took the time to read literally one comment above your question you'd have the answer you seek.
By ll BENNO ll on 07 Apr 2018 05:00
The comments seem to contradict another solution so which is correct?
By Rothio on 22 Aug 2019 00:39
@ll BENNO ll I was referring to whether you can get the achievement on the 390 light raid.
By Rothio on 23 Aug 2019 15:42
By liviaro on 25 Aug 2019 19:32
this raid can be sooled? im asking beacuse the achievement have the flag of solo
By Concetto18 on 20 May 2021 16:02
@Concetto18 yes, but only Oryx... and its one of the hardest things to do. I can recommend "Esoterickk" on YouTube for Solo stuff in Destiny.
By Vengeful Void on 10 Jun 2021 07:18
Maybe a dumb question… can you get this on the 310 raid, or only on the 390?
By BARTLEBEE on 13 Mar 2022 18:32
This just popped for me on King's Fall hard 310. Just an FYI. Was not expecting that lol.
By Vokul Vegan on 21 Apr 2022 01:46
I can confirm that this unlocks on hard mode 390.
By HumidTube35 on 28 Jul 2023 00:42
A helpful change guide, nice work.
By ll BENNO ll on 24 Oct 2015 11:20
Destinylfg.com is what I usually use, but even now that's getting ridiculous. Must be 310+, with emblem, Touch of Malice, Spindle, etc. I have the weapons, but I'm only 308 light. How am I supposed to get higher if I keep getting excluded because of a low light level?
When I did finally join a group for Oryx, we were probably short 1 bomb from killing him, then we got screwed. We went through 2 echo cycles, so we were there.
By ChknFingrs on 26 Oct 2015 14:00
does anyone know if the new 390 raids count for achievements and if you have to do the whole thing or just the final boss?
By RellikGod on 24 May 2017 17:38
What exactly are you talking about @Rothio? You only need to kill Oryx. You do NOT need to complete the whole thing, just the final boss will net you the achievement.
With that being said finding a checkpoint at Oryx might be hard these days, it might be easier just to find a team and do it fresh.
