As many of you may know, someone recently made a post proving that the had found the new titan exotic "Twilight Garrison", which seems to be extremely rare considering, to my knowledge, they are the only person in the game who has it. Also, according to their own post, they claim to have gotten it from a random exotic engram drop from a boss. But why is it so rare? Isn't that what everyone is doing right now? Everyone is just killing bosses for engrams. BUT. Ask yourself one question. [i]WHERE[/i] is everyone farming right now? I can guarantee that 99.9% of you are going to say "Vanguard Strikes, duh." Well I think that is precisely the problem.
Just like how these new Stike bosses have their own Legendary drops exclusive to them (ie: Dark Blade drops the legendary Dark Blade Helm for Titans), I think that there are some bosses that have exotic drops exclusive to them. I also think that these bosses are NOT strike bosses, but rather, bosses in story missions. Maybe even the old story mission bosses drop exclusive exotics, I just don't know. It would be very interesting to know which boss this person who got Twilight Garrison killed. It could shed a [i]little light[/i] on this theory.
One piece of very convincing evidence I came across was when I was just casually looking through the Armory on here. I noticed a very familiar looking set of exotic arms for the Titan. (Sorry I'm only looking into and talking about Titan armor. That happens to be my main. Titan master race of whatever.)

Notice anything familiar? There was a certain Valus Centurion boss during the new story that was taken by Three wizards. I completely forgot his name, but you fight him later when he comes out of a portal with his fat, wart faced ogre buddy during the regicide mission. These are EXACTLY the same arms that he's wearing. Does anyone have these arms yet? Not that I'm aware of. Have any of you used a Three of Coins specifically for this boss? I doubt it. Would everyone please band together and test this theory? I can't do it by myself. I'm bringing this theory out there for all of us to test and theory-craft and figure out how to get these new exotics. Mainly just because I reaaaaaaally want Twilight Garrison. Test away, people.
Also, if anyone could find out who has Twilight Garrison, ask them which boss they killed, and report back here, it would mean the world to me. xoxo
Edit: I found the Cabal's name. He's Primus Ta'aun. Here's a pic of him with those sweet, sweet, manly arms:

Edit 2: I found the post of the person who has the Twilight Garrison:

Edit 3: We made it to Trending everyone! Keep searching and hope for the best! I'm out of Three of Coins, so it's up to you guys and gals.
Also, the one who found the Twilight Garrison said he got the engram drop from Draksis. I don't know how solid this evidence is though, considering he's being very hush-hush about specific details. Good luck out there Guardians!

Does anyone know which strike drops exclusive warlock armor?

I have killed that Valus guy while playing my Titan in the Regicide mission with a Three of Coins active. Didn't get any drops, but of course that doesn't prove anything one way or another except that there's no guaranteed drops, which I imagine is common sense for most people. Also should note that I wasn't playing on Heroic, if that matters.
-
Hmmm... This could also relate to No Time to Explain. Any bosses that are closely related to the stranger ?
-
Maybe he got it from the sevics prime the first strike boss. It's not in rotation on vanguard but maybe that is why it is rare because no one is doing that strike anymore.
-
I have actually been killing him with three of coins. I got 2 Hereafters in a row.

Reply for later

I've had about 10 exotic chest engrams, all of them bar 1 have turned into crest of alpha lupi for the titan, the other was star fire protocol

Try the shield brothers strike level 42 use 3 of coins hardest strike yet good luck

Nice theory but That's not how exotic decryption works. The whole mechanism makes it non-boss related. Exotic engrams' content isn't set the minute it drops, but is semi-randomly generated once you decrypt them.
-
Just wondering, what if you did VoG and used a ToC on Atheon, that would make a lot of sense to put incentive in the old raids to keep us grinding them,
-
I seen someone in the tower during week 1 who had the Sunbreaker gauntlets, no clue how he got them. Also fought against someone with twilight garrison in the Crucible, at the time I had no idea how rare it was.
-
Both armor pieces say they are a drop and not a quest reward.

-
Both the thagomisers and twilight garrison will eventually get sold by xur as they are in his loot table rotation.

Edited by combofied: 9/28/2015 7:05:08 PMI just farmed that val'us guy 100+,times last night and got 2 blue engrams. 2. I didn't use a 3 of coins though so maybe it could work idk Edit: not valus taaric

I will try this theory tonight with that centurion and a coin!

Edited by P3SH_OFF: 9/29/2015 11:45:57 AMas far as drops go from farming the Kell i got: Hereafter, TTK Lastword Telestro TTK 4th Horseman TTK Monte Carlo TTK Alchemists Raiment TTK Starfire Protocol TTK Claws of Ahamkara the Impossible Machines TTK Invective TTK Knucklehead Radar TTK Young Ahamkara's Spine TTK Don't Touch Me TTK Crest of Alpha Lupi (Hunter) TTK Crest of Alpha Lupi (Titan) (TTK = year 2) and all this from 35 Three of Coins in one hour long farming spree

I think daily heroics and nightfalls have something more to offer us. This weeks nightfall had what looks to be like a breakable vent in one of the rooms and behind the vent was like a fully fledged out room with lights in it and objects. You cant see this room without peeking through the vent itself. It might have something to do with armsday :P you never know.

So I literally just googled Twilight Garrison last night and found who had it. The guy's name is dragonhunter with a few numbers after it. I PM'd him asking him how he'd gotten it and surprisingly he said from an engram from Draksis. Although it's kinda strange, it does somewhat make sense since it references Twilight Gap and Draksis is an Eliksni of the winter house.

Ya know i thought of the same type thing when i was doing the regicide mission and popped on a 3oc before oryx. It used up the buff but nothing dropped... Made me wonder if there were special exotics that drop off the heroic daily bosses. Theres so many exotics not accounted for and they stated they want you to go get them doing stuff. Wonder if thats why 3oc is like it is and you can grind out heroic dailies in hopes for the rare exotic. Just some thoughts
