Crown Of Sorrow Final Boss

Gahlran, The Sorrow Bearer is the most complicated fight in Destiny ii's Crown of Sorrow raid. But many players — ourselves included — believe the final run into to be easier than Gahlran'southward Deception. If you've already mastered that arena, you're in a good spot going into the final boss.

This guide volition teach you lot what's inverse from the last fight to this one, and everything you need to know about killing Gahlran.

Loadout

There are lots of ways to impale Gahlran very apace, simply we're going to save those for the experienced players taking Gahlran on for the fifth or sixth time. In this guide, we'll be using the Outbreak Perfected strategy. Make sure anybody in your raid has it before information technology'south fourth dimension for Gahlran.

Kinetic - Outbreak Perfected

Free energy - The Recluse or a good shotgun for taking out Knights and Acolytes

Power - Hammerhead for killing Ogres

Titans don't have a great Super for this fight, so merely have them run fire hammers to kill groups of enemies in a compression.

Hunters should run Golden Gun with Celestial Nighthawk to i-shot the Ogres and bargain bonus harm to Gahlran.

Warlocks should all run Well of Radiance and Lunafaction Boots.

Grooming

Here's the arena breakdown for the Gahlran's Deception fight — Here's the layout for the fight. The iii sections are even so divided by the lines, only there are no walls of fire.

To start the fight confronting Gahlran, you or someone on your squad needs to shoot him in the confront. First you desire to become your team in position. Divide the raid upwardly in the 3 usual ii-actor squads. 1 thespian from each squad should render to their same spot from Gahlran's Charade, while the other should gather around the Rally Flag. When everyone is in position, showtime the fight.

Afterwards yous shoot Gahlran, he'll multiply and send a re-create of himself to each of the three arena sections. A puddle of Witch'due south Approving also spawns under the Rally Flag — hence why three players are continuing there. When one actor from each squad has Witch'due south Blessing, everyone should group upwards with their buddy in their section.

Enemy and crystal killing

Each side has an identical experience this time. Blest Knights and Normal Acolytes spawn in on the stair platforms. Each role player should impale the enemies they tin can.

There are two mechanics you lot demand to keep runway of in this encounter.

You and your teammate demand to manage the Witch's Blessing buff. All three Witch'south Vessels are upward for the unabridged fight, significant y'all tin swap whenever you want. Nosotros suggest each team take the Vessel to their right to avert overlap (the Vessel does de-spawn for a few seconds after you use it.)
Simply similar in the second and start encounters, shielded crystals spawn on boxes and in mid-air above the stairs. You're protected in their bubbles, just they bleed very quickly and can wipe the raid if you ignore them. When a crystal comes up on your side, yous and your teammate should drop everything to destroy it.

Keep killing enemies, crystals, and swapping the buff until each team has killed 3 waves.

Tip: Yous don't take to be in a Witch's Vessel to shoot one. As long every bit yous are the opposite buff polarization from the person within the Vessel, y'all tin can shoot information technology across the map to switch that player'southward polarization. This is actually useful for later in the fight when players need to get their buff back, or if someone with the vitrify dies.

Gahlran's Deception returns

After three waves of enemies, Gahlran volition summon Ogres on two platforms, and a Gahlran's Charade on the other. He'll besides spawn in Cursed Thrall on every platform, and so be conscientious — especially if you don't have the right buff to destroy them. For Ogre teams, yous merely need to kill your Ogre and expect your turn for Gahlran to spawn a Deception.

If you get a Gahlran'south Deception on your side, you have some work to do. Kill the Cursed Thrall first then they don't sneak upwards on you.

Walk upward the stairs and onto the raised expanse with your ally. When Gahlran's Charade too moves up the stairs — or it's already at that place — punch it with both buffs like the concluding fight. Y'all'll stun the Deception, remove its shield, and it'll stand in identify for a few seconds, stunned.

Plow your attention to your side's Gahlran. Wait for him to exercise his fireball barrage assail. When he finishes, his hand will turn dark-green. Shoot information technology with you Machine Gun, and Gahlran will bring his axe down on the platform. If you lot've stunned your Deception correctly, this volition nail and kill it. If the Deception is moving, you may need to depict information technology back on the platform and expect for Gahlran'due south axe to come up downward.

If you had Witch's Approving when y'all popped the Deception's shield, yous'll notice that your vitrify is gone. Run into your Vessel and inquire for a Blest player on some other squad to shoot at your Vessel. Actuate information technology with them to renew your buff, ala the tip to a higher place.

All of this is easier said than done, particularly at low Ability levels. Gahlran's Deception really hurts, and he'll probably 1-shot you if yous're anywhere due south of 729 Power. If you have a Warlock on your side, inquire them to throw downwardly their healing grenade to give you an Overshield.

Each side needs to repeat this procedure. Gahlran volition keep spawning Ogres (max of two for the terminal side) until he spawns the Deception. Yous'll demand to keep balancing the crystals and Witch's Blessing buff during this department.

Harm stage

When all three teams take smashed their Gahlran's Deception, the impairment phase will start.

The fight music will change and all three Gahlran'due south will start channeling their head with their hands. Use your automobile gun to shoot your Gahlran's easily and then his head. When you lot deal enough damage, the copy will pop. One of the copies (random every time) will stick around — this is the Gahlran you lot'll exist damaging.

Later the copies are gone, every team should swap buffs in their Vessel. A last crystal usually spawns effectually now.

When everyone is ready, group upwardly at the elevation of the stairs in the department Gahlran is living in. A Warlock should drop Well of Radiance, and punch ane of the nearby Thrall to empower their team.

To impale Gahlran, you'll need to target his hands and then his caput. When his easily are back at his sides, use Outbreak Perfected to whittle his wellness bar down as a grouping. When his head goes immune, target the hands once more. He'll do this about three times earlier finally breaking off to reset the fight.

Every bit before long every bit the boss runs away, return to your Vessel and swap the Blessing back with your partner. You'll likely need two damage phases to kill Gahlran, and so offset the fight from the beginning and go again.

When Gahlran finally dies, he'll atomize and his giant helmet volition fall onto the stair platform you lot're standing on. If you're not conscientious, y'all'll get squished (the fight is already over, so it'south more than funny than worrisome). Open the breast to get your boodle, so return to Benedict 99-40 in the Tower for some congratulations from Emperor Calus.
