Plague star is coming back this year!
Why did nights of naberus return without the exodia arcanes and more importantly the PLAGUE ZAWS which can't be obtained anywhere else ? i've waited a year to get those zaw parts ...
You're viewing a single thread.
Huh neat. Im not really sure what that means exactly, but am I wrong in thinking its basically a Ghoul Purge, but with zaw arcane rewards instead of Hunter Munitions etc.?
You are. It's much more.
It's the extreme optimisation event. Glitch your way through to get lower amount of time possible, and farm as many formas as possible, and other stuff.
It's a space infestation coming to the plains, with a lephantis brother as a boss.
And damn I optimized the s out it the last time. Stay on that specific rock, to with wisp... To spawn the boss faster to that spot. And farmed the crap out of it. I got 250 formas from there (+ ghoulf saw, zaw heads and exodia contagion)
Nuking the drone on its way to the boil with the Elytron's 4 was a perfectly valid strategy for speeding up the missions, and a fix for Nova teleporting the drone inside the boil (from what I remember this only happened if the Nova teleporting the Drone was Host).
Some random tips for the bounty:
- Nova/Loki work for quickly transporting the Drone, DE changed the Drone's AI to try to path into Nova's portals but occasionally it bugs and will try to backtrack to the spot it entered the portal.
- Volt/Wisp can speed up the drone, sometimes wisp motes are hit-or-miss buffing NPCs in open world missions.
- Elytron's 4 can be used to move the drone, get it unstuck, and push the boss out of the Boil. Can occasionally get the Boss stuck inside the Boil though.
- Avoid weapons modded for Cold (if the boss is not status immune), Slow Nova, Gloom in the boss phase.
- Do not destroy the infested spawn pods.
- Armor Strip helps a lot although there's been a lot of power creep since the last plague star so this may not be relevant anymore.
- Weapons with high pellet counts tend to do better against the boss.
The drone backtracking is an issue where the drone is too high up from the ground.
If the drone is teleported close enough to the ground, it won't backtrack.
Caliban's persistant armor strip area from his 4 might be very useful in this.
