Destiny 2’s Lair boss beaten in 7 seconds

Valus Ca’uor? More like Valus No More

Destiny. Love it or hate it, players know that the franchise’s raid encounters are some of its best and most challenging endgame content. If you’re one of those who’d find certain boss fights and phases fairly complex or time-consuming, it might shock you that several gamers try to find means to completely obliterate bosses and breeze through raids in as little time as possible.

And the latest “lair” (a mini-raid if you will) for Destiny 2’s Warmind DLC is no exception.

When the Spire of Stars lair released last May 11, for the first team of Guardians to clear it. Fast forward to just a couple of days ago and teams are either speedrunning through the entire thing or demolishing the boss, Valus Ca’uor, !

Today is no exception, as a team of players managed to annihilate the boss in a scant 7-8 seconds. Seven seconds! For reference, that’s around the same time it takes me to open my Guardian’s menu and dismantle or infuse an item.

As someone who’s been focused on Destiny’s PVE content since the first game, the Valus Ca’uor fight was enjoyable due to its complexity (three clears so far). At the same time, I also dreaded joining an LFG team (basically a group of randoms) due to how many players might be unfamiliar with the mechanics or might end up being panicky. But seeing these videos of how the quick kill goes makes things a lot more manageable for dedicated clans and random groups. Why? Because it simply involves having specific weapons and subclasses.

If you take a closer look at the videos, there’s a common theme:

• Have a Sunbreaker Titan for Melting Point which debuffs a boss with all damage taken.

• Have one player with Tractor Cannon which adds an additional debuff to Void damage taken.

• Have several Voidwalker Warlocks for Nova Bombs.

• Have several players with the which dropped from last week’s Escalation Protocol wave 7 boss. The shotgun is full auto and has a perk which increases its damage after meleeing an enemy, this means punching the boss and blasting it from close range.

• Perhaps have a Sentinel Titan drop a Ward of Dawn bubble in order to prevent players from getting heavily-damaged by the boss’ stomp attack.

Of course, assuming you weren’t able to get the shotgun to drop at all for any reason in the previous week, you could still ask a farming group if they’d take you in. Hopefully, you’re a Warlock with Nova Bomb, or you still have a decent void shotgun/sword, in order to make up for that lost damage.
