Sorry for the slight audio sync issues :(
With this being my favorite encounter in this raid, I had lots of fun completing this. I wouldn't consider it a difficult challenge; I would consider it an RNG-fest!
You get a x5 stack per spore with two people. We decided to grab a x40 buff for the DPS phase. This require a collection of eight spores within about 2.5 minutes. On normal mode, that's very manageable. On Prestige mode, it's kind of a nightmare at times tbh. Those two extra beasts complicate things so much.
After snagging a x40:
I (Gladd) ran to R1 beast, then CAVE beast, then TREE beast.
ITS IRON ran to R3 beast, then R2 beast, then TREE beast.
Sweatcicle ran to L3 beast, then L2 beast, then L1 beast.
We found this to be the most efficient method of ensuring that all 8 dogs died within the short DPS window (~30 seconds). You'll notice that I strategically kill the enemies in the beginning in a very specific spot by the cave entrance. This is so that I can pick up power ammo on my way to kill CAVE beast. Sweatcicle did something similar on his side.
For DPS, I followed a very specific routine:
Beast 1 - One rocket, small barricade, three more rockets
Beast 2 - Pulse grenade x2, two rockets
Beast 3 - All remaining rockets
We all used Curtain Call with cluster bombs for DPS and Striker Titans, of course. Thanks to ITS IRON and Sweatcicle for the run!
Hope you enjoy!
