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 this chest give a jetpack type sound and effect when they press evade? If so i saw someone with this a week or so ago.
-
"Sweet, sweet manly arms" "it would mean the world to me, [b]xoxo[/b]" All that information in this thread and those were the two parts that stood out the most...

Hey hey another thing to think about guys! I killed a patrol boss and got an exotic, haven't decrypted yet since I want to wait until I am above 300 light but yeah. The target patrols with the lvl 40 ultras do drop exotics, also easy farming since you don't have to leave patrol to do it.

Edited by Smith5084: 9/28/2015 3:43:03 PMI'm thinking there are just a lot of these that are tied to daily heroics and possibly nightfalls. Now that they've removed the XP buff from nightfalls, Bungie had to have something else in mind to keep us wanting to play them... Maybe that's why the Nightfall rewards have been so bad since TTK dropped... Maybe there is something in each of the new and re-worked strikes that triggers strike specific rewards...

Bump for later.

But the strike specific legendary armor isn't encrypted when you pick it up
-
Bump for later. Thanks

I don't think anybody got any of the new boots either I want the new Titan boots they look awesome

Edited by loonigus: 9/28/2015 9:34:00 AMIam honestly starting to think the same bro. Farmed the shit out of Draksis and the BY FAR most recieved items were (90 % Alpha Lupi) On Titan AND on Hunter. NEVER heard of anyone getting the new Titan or Hunter chest! And oh boy I opened like 15 chest engrams... ONLY Alpha Lupi... ALL THE TIME! Me and my buddies all together opened like 25 chest engrams and noone got the new chest and we all had similar results from Draksis or any other strike exotic engram drop. 90% of our engrams turned into year 2 Alpha Lupi.
-
It has an evade feature, yes? I clicked the link and saw stuff named 'Thagomizers' and the primary perk for those gauntlets was that getting a kill with a melee charge instantly recharges Fist of Havoc and Fist of Havoc instantly recharges your melee... and you can hold two. I'm guessing that's a place holder lol.

The scourge of winter is the new daily today hmmmm
-
Interesting..... I was wondering if there was some reason why I've gotten five crest of alpha lupi... I was mostly doing Vanguard Heroic Strikes. Maybe I'll try some story mission bosses.....
-
Good thread, I'll help look into it when I'm off school.
-
Bump for later.
-
This could be fake because the sword sheild brother drops it
-
The Primus before Oryx during the story mission is wearing what appears to be twilight garrison?
-
perhaps It's the heroic daily bosses?
-
I have 20-30 ToC's left so I'll be trying this soon. I'll report back if anything happens.
-
Or maybe only xur sells them
-
.......Xur-ing is earning
-
Another guy posted he had them and through a vid up. He was fighting a different boss so the chest piece is obviously not boss oriented.
-
I did my exotic en gram farming by killing that specific boss with my titan. I got 5 engrams none of with where gaunlets
-
I think that how ever this person acquired those arms for his titan will be the same way to acquire the hunter chest and the warlock boots, that I think no body has found yet either. idk maybe I am wrong.
-
Bump for later
-
I got "Twilight Garrison" when farming exotic engrams, I infused it becuase it was rubbish
