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!

Or dragon is helping Bungie test the exotic, just to make sure it wasn't too ridiculous.
-
The Exotic perk made me think of the jet pack wearing brother in Shield Brothers... Maybe from there? Also, the armor looks a bit like Cabal armor. The color is also similar to the mortar wearing brother. Maybe you need to kill that brother last in that mission? Every time I've played it, he's killed first, as he's the one charging you. Maybe it has a similar mechanic to the Psion Flayer claims, as the drop is dependent on which boss is killed last.
-
So that is to say what then? I got my supercell from saber (though I know it's not a "rare" exotic) and a TLW from Taniks All I want is the Jade rabbit...
-
the guy who has it already stated he got it from the draksis farm. considering he got it after the 3 of coins hot fix I'd say it's more likely that they stealth unlocked exotics for us. It would be cool if your idea was true for strike bosses getting their own exotics as well. But making them story missions locked would just make everyone do what they patched out. which was story mission farm.
-
I used 3oc's there but got nada. But I'm a Hunter
-
I've used 3oC on that boss and got nothing but idols
-
THAT EVADE.
-
I just did 60+ Runs on my hunter on low and hgih lvl.. Nothing.
-
Results thus far: 1st coin: nothing - Level 36 2nd Coin: Immolation Fist - off of tortured knight - light level 240 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th Coins - nothing - light level 240 Gonna try again in a bit. I just can't grind it anymore right now.
-
You just broke destiny
-
-
guy with garrison is definitely holding out on the community no doubt
-
He got it from Draksis.
-
I'm trying to remember from the destiny lore, but wasn't the blast near the twilight battle, so maybe you get it from the Walker in the Sepiks Prime strike... maybe?
-
Holy moly batman you cracked the code Good find guardian this post should be bumped to the stratosphere.
-
You really think anyone is gonna read this book of a post?
-
There's no way he got it from draksis. I got 7-8 chest engrams and got only year 1 revamped armour
-
Apparently he got it farming draksis along with almost everyone else so either he got really lucky or everyone else is really really unlucky. There may be teirs of exotics and you have to be a certain level/light level or perhaps accomplished some prerequisite task prior to getting the drop as of now I'm unconvinced there are exotics linked to certain bosses because that would just promote the kind of exploitation that happened with draksis just with other bosses. I dunno just my opinion.

Edited by destreader13: 9/28/2015 11:34:28 PMTheir is a easier way to figure out how to get exotics or not. Look in the armory on bungie and it tells you how you can get it via a icon.
-
I think this is very unlikely because in a matter of weeks everyone would figure out the boss specific drops and farm them endlessly until everyone had every exotic.
-
Edited by Fenderslasher: 9/28/2015 3:29:50 AMPerhaps having a three of coins active while turning in the engrams to rahool may have an effect? Perhaps having the coin active will enable it to randomly drop from a particular enemy such as a cabal major? I'm starting to think the coin does more than activate über enemy exotic drop chance.
-
I got 6 exotic chest pieces and nothin
-
The blink helmet for warlock is also missing, you think it would be the same problem?
-
It says xur can sell both so I'll just wait I guess
-
Quick though the arms that the Cabal dude from the regicide mission work off of the Titan slam so why not try to kill the bosses with it?
-
I am now going to hoard all glove and chest engrams I get until I have about 10-15 of each and hope for a 310 of either one lol
