Okay, so, I’ve been grinding away at this “Altars of Sorrow” thing in Destiny 2, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I figured I’d share my experience, especially for those who are new to this or just looking for a bit of insight on the rotation. So that what I tried today.
First off, I jumped into the game and headed straight for the Moon. That’s where this whole Altars of Sorrow gig takes place. You gotta get yourself to Sorrow’s Harbor. Once I landed, I geared up, made sure my weapons were loaded, and checked my abilities. You know, the usual pre-battle ritual.
Starting the Event
To kick things off, I had to find an Altar and offer an Offering. Sounds simple, right? Well, it kinda is. But each Altar has its own set of requirements.
- Find the Altar: I ran around, looking for the active Altar. It is marked, so it wasn’t that tough to spot.
- Offer the Offering: I interacted with the Altar and gave up my Offering. This starts the encounter.
The Waves
Then came the waves of enemies. Oh boy, it got intense quickly! I was blasting away, using everything in my arsenal. Kinetic, Energy, Power weapons—I used them all.
- Wave 1-4: These were kinda okay. I mean, tough but manageable. I focused on taking out the Nightmares as fast as possible. Used my super when it was up.
- Wave 5: This is where it gets really spicy. The bosses here are no joke. I had to defeat them while also dealing with tons of other adds. Teamwork makes the dream work here. We coordinated our attacks and called out targets.
Final Boss
After surviving the waves, the final boss showed up. Today, it was one of the rotating big bad guys.
- Engage the Boss: This is where all that prep paid off. I had to figure out the boss’s mechanics. Like, some have shields you need to take down a certain way, or weak spots you need to target.
- DPS Phase: Once I got the mechanics down, it was time to unload everything on the boss. I switched to my highest DPS weapons and went to town.
The Reward
Finally, after a lot of sweat and a few close calls, we took down the boss. The loot dropped, and I got some decent stuff. It was satisfying to say the least.
This whole process, from starting the event to defeating the final boss, is what makes the Altars of Sorrow rotation so engaging. Every day, or maybe it is weekly, the boss changes, so you always have to adjust your strategy. It keeps things fresh, you know? It’s a grind, but a fun one, especially when you’re playing with friends. That is my story of dealing with “Altars of Sorrow” today.
