The last encounter is utter horseshit and we never in a million, billion, trillion years would have figured it out without looking up the strat. There's one element where we actually thought the game was bugging out on us because the mechanic at play is so incredibly subtle. It's also a stupid fight where one errant button press from any single player completely wipes the attempt. And it's a 20 minute fight. Serious F that fight. Even fully spoiled we've only gotten more than 75% of the boss' health down once in 8 hours of attempts.

Are you DPSing Oryx in the chest while the other 4 guardians run to detonate the tainted light? Oryx takes more damage from the detonations if you shoot him in the chest to keep it wide open.

We were missing that aspect of that fight for a while.

That was certainly one of the many things we didn't get. I'm more annoyed that if just one person is a half second late to get on their platform, you wipe. One person jumps accidentally, you wipe. One person misses a jump, you wipe. One person gets too close to a black ball, you wipe... etc etc.. There seem to be 40 different wipe conditions, all of which are very simple mistakes and none of which can be recovered from.
