Holy crap I've never seen such a spamtastic clusterf*ck of enemies and projectiles. I don't know how you're supposed to be able to kill this guy, because even in a fireteam, The Banner of Oryx is a MEGA bullet sponge.
I have the Diluvian 10/4X and I was pumping clip after clip into him, but the best I've managed is a little below 1/3 of his health left, then the Taken Corruption subsides and he disappears, every time. Last time I was using Susanoo, one of the best fusion rifles to try and take down the captains surrounding him, but never seem to have enough time because of the constant bombardment of fire & shadow.
Ten minutes or so to wait for the taken corruption at times, but only a few minutes to try and kill this mofo.
At least increase the time the taken hang round, lower his health a bit or remove some of the enemies surrounding him. It's really frustrating to have 5 vandals with wire rifles shooting at you while there's at least 3 shadow balls flying towards you and fire all over the ground everywhere.
I've geared my Warlock to be more agile, but no matter what combination of sliding, gliding, jumping and hiding behind cover it just doesn't give you enough of a chance in my opinion.
This quest is never going to be finished at this rate, but Darnu the Horn of Oryx was easy compared to this guy. What was Bungie thinking?.
UPDATE:
Finished him off finally with 1 other on my friends list, good thing I had Boolean Gemini :)
