GrandTickler2 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 This is one of the worst and most rng based mission ive ever played in any game EVER, and it's gonna be the reason im quitting this game soon. i practiced like 30 times, after a while i am able to pass it repeatedly without too much issue's. but then the real test begins and.. everything is different. in the practice run (3rd stage) i can simply walk up the first guy in the middle and stealth kill him or just throw my glaive at it, as for the actual run.. doesnt work... even though many youtube videos show this is possible, i get detected time and time again. sometimes its immediately, sometimes it takes 5 seconds.. thats the thing there is no consistency in this test and its all luck based whether they will see you or not.If the practice test and actual test have such different mechanics theres no point in actually training myself in this mission now is there? So here i am, with PoE open to me and a arsenal of weapons/warframes i still need to level. But my mastery rank is capped thanks to this bullS#&$ little mission.. so what reason do i have to keep playing if any progress is halted? absolutely none for someone who plays games over 90 hours a week and tend to dominate any online game, i can't wrap my little head around how other people got past this bullS#&$.

lightdragon64 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Use a glaive or other powerful throwing melee weapon. (maybe a gunblade? i don't remember if those produce sound or not) either way distance is key in that mission. that's how i got through if i remember correctly.

Prime Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 It's actually not too hard, just be sure to take a lot of time, and don't ever use your melee weapon for anything apart from finishers, the "slicing noise" will alert enemies there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been playing since 2013 and have only ever bothered to get to MR13. MR doesn't dictate experience, skill, or anything meaningful. It just tells everyone how much you've grinded. Thats it. I've met several MR24's that are garbage at this game because they power leveled without bothering to git gud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katinka Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) My recommendation is Ivara with the Rakta Dark Dagger. Load up on Enemy Radar mods, plus Ivara's passive, and you'll be able to see most of the enemies and their facings on you map. The Rakta Dark Dagger has a passive ability of reducing the range you can be spotted from and requires Mastery 8 so is fine for use in this test. Edit: While people are correct that Mastery doesn't really mean anythign in terms of expected ability of team mates, it is a handy thing to have since it lets you earn more Standing per day, store more Void Trace and increases the minimum mod allowance on weapons/warframes. Adding Forma to weapons is a lot less awkward when it only drops you from 60 points down to 48. Edited October 14, 2017 by Katinka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring an AoE primary such as Ignis and a frame with a toggled AoE power such as Ember, start World on Fire and forget about enemies while you focus on hitting orbs. If you run out of energy use the Ignis to mop up a few remaining enemies while still focussing on hitting orbs as a priority. Your starting energy is affected by mod points remaining so it might be an idea to ditch some mods that you wont need for that test so World on Fire lasts longer.

-QUILL_PETER- Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I hope OP didn't make this post expecting sympathy, because he isn't going to get any. 30+ million players have gotten past that test just fine and OP can too. And if he thinks that test was too challenging, then OP is in for a very rude awakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shalath Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Seems I post this daily these days! Use a glaive and a charge attack to kill the first guy (enemies spotting bodies will fail you and charge attacks dissolve the bodies). Climb a pillar and charge attack to kill everyone left. Rinse and repeat. Once you are at the top of a pillar nobody can see you. Just make sure your glaive doesn't bounce as the noise will be detected.
