We gave up tonight, after being unable to stagger Oryx even with a group of all 296-99s. Is there a trick to it? It just seemed like even opening up with heavy, GG or snipers didn't seem to phase him at all.

The trick is really just that everyone needs to be on point, ready, and hit him with all their shots as soon as he opens up. If even 1 person is caught in the middle of a reload or switching weapons, you won't do enough damage. Snipers are absolutely the way to go. Weapons if light helps too.

6 Touch of Malices with one bullet in the chamber out to do the trick in the future. Fun fact, it won't damage you in the aura of immortality!

Everyone in my group is around 38-40 shards, currently, so no ToM. We could do everything else right but just couldn't seem to get that stagger. I didn't think we were wasting time reloading, I mean I have just enough time to put a clip of Stilpiercer into him, but it just never seemed to have any effect. We did it probably 10 times before people had to quit.

It's a good thing too, because I don't think Zero's controller would have survived one more toss across the room.

In an deal run you'll fight the Shadow twice and only deal with the aerial bombardment once.

If you're fighting the shadow oryx spawns a big darkness bubble just below his starting position, and he's right there at the edge. (note that touching this bubble insta-kills you) If he's going to do the aura bubble attack he will back up a little from there and raise his arms and wings. So if you're not sure, take a look at the middle and where he is will tell you what is about to happen.

Do you have to detonate the blights at the same time?

It appears to do more damage that way. The other thing to remember is that the detonations will kill any guardians not standing in the bubble. So if someone pops theirs early, they're likely going to kill the other players who are still in the process of setting off theirs.
