This guide is what I personally find the best way to beat Oryx. Not everyone may do it exactly this way but I have had the easiest time this way.
[u]Assign everyone a location.[/u]
I start by assigning each person a position. Generally making the lowest level guardian the [i]Runner[/i]. With the [i]Runner[/i] being the lowest level character make the highest character person [i]support[/i] and put him in the middle between the 2 high platforms. The [i]support[/i] will help kill each ogre and replace anyone who dies at a plate.
Now that we have those 2 positions out of the way we have to place 4 guardians at each plate. I name each plate with a number:
[b]1[/b]=left, closest to you when you enter the room.
[b]2[/b]=right, closest to you when you enter the room.
[b]3[/b]=right, farthest from you when you enter the room.
[b]4[/b]=left, farthest from you when you enter the room.
At those point what guardian gets which place doesn't exactly matter as long as every one of them has a sniper or good weapon to take out each ogre. I personally use a rocket launcher and raid sniper. [i]Advice[/i]: Ogres flinch when hit with a sniper to his critical spot, best to use a sniper until the clips empty then use your primary.
[u]The [i]Runner[/i] and Ogres.[/u]
As you start one has to run towards the floating orb by where Oryx will be. Once close enough it will fly away and Oryx will jump up from below. Everyone should come closer to him and kill the adds. After about 15 seconds 2 knights will spawn on platforms [b]3[/b] and [b]4[/b]. Everyone kills those knights and goes to their positions.
An orb will be floating above platforms [b]3[/b] or [b]4[/b]. The [i]Runner[/i] will go to the platform counter clockwise of the orb. ([i]If the orb is at [b]3[/b] the Runner will go to [b]4[/b]. If the orb is at [b]4[/b] the runner will go to [b]1[/b].[/i]) The orb will spawn after Oryx slams his fist down on the platform.
The [i]Runner[/i] must go up first after Oryx slams his fist down. Then the other guardian at the platform goes up.([i]When a guardian is on a plate he can not step off of it in ANY way. If the guardian is getting shot at he/she must move around but cannot just up or step off the platform.[/i]) Once he jumps up the [i]Runner[/i] must begin he's way soon the floating islands. They will each have a moving orb like the first one the [i]Runner[/i] jumps onto. These islands will go [u]counter-clockwise[/u].
Once the [i]Runner[/i] begins each guardian after that plate going counter clockwise will hop on. They must all be stepped on IN ORDER. So every should wait and watch the guardian before them hop on their plate. The order will always be counter clockwise Ex. Orb spawns at [b]4[/b], [i]Runner[/i] starts at [b]1[/b] then guardian steps on [b]2[/b] than [b]3[/b]. These plates must be stayed on until the [i]Runner[/i] gets the final orb.
The plate clockwise of where th [i]Runner[/i] begins his "run" does not need to be stood on but an Ogre will still spawn and must be killed.
Ogres will spawn right after the [i]Runner[/i] begins "running". Each Ogre drops a blight that must be walked into to blow up. At this time no one should step on a blight.
[u]The [i]Vessel[/i] and doing damage to Oryx.[/u]
Once the [i]Runner[/i] has the orb he/she must go to the [i]Vessel[/i] which is a knight underneath the tomb ship and take his shield by pressing the action button while in his shield.. At this point everyone can be off their platforms. They all should make sure every ogre is killed and make their way to where the [i]support[/i] began at. Once the [i]Runner[/i] has taken the shield everyone must take down the [i]Vessel[/i].
Once the [i]Vessel[/i] has been killed everyone must stand inside the shield and wait until Oryx opens his chest. This part everyone should unload as much sniper and primary ammo onto Oryx as they can. If enough damage is down Oryx will flinch.
If you are successful and Oryx flinches everyone must run to where they killed their Ogre and stand inside the blight that was left after the Ogres were killed. Guardians should wait 3-5 seconds and run back to the shield.
Text will show up above your super bar saying that each one has blown up. If guardians do not make it back to the shield in time they will die from the blast. With all 4 blights being blown up Oryx should be at a quarter health.
[i]Dodging the blast and repeating what you just did.[/i]
Once the shield goes away guardians must keep moving or the blast will kill them. Circling around the plates will be your best bet to survive.
Once the blasts are done you will have to repeat what you did but Oryx will go to either plate [b]1[/b] or [b]2[/b]. After you finish the plates and the [i]Vessel[/i] you will have to shoot at Oryx and blow up their blights again.
[u]After Oryx is past half health and killing the King.[/u]
Once you have done the blights twice the third and last times will be different. You will no longer have to run around during the blasts, instead you will be teleported into a bubble with a mini Oryx. He hides in the edge of the bubble and he distorts wherever he is a bit.
When you are at this point your whole team will slowly be teleported in. Everyone must work together to kill Oryx in the bubble, if it isn't done fast enough your team will be killed and you will have to start over.
In the bubble your team does not regain health so everyone should make sure they are killing thralls while killing Oryx. Once this is done you will repeat all of the steps.
Once you have killed the Oryx inside the bubble Oryx will fake his own death. He will then rise where he began at the beginning of the boss. Every guardian in your fire team must run to him and deal as much damage to him to kill him. I personally have never messed this part up so I do not know what happens if you don't deal enough damage in time.
Congratulations! If everything has been completed properly Oryx should be dead and you get a cheat where the [i]support[/i] was.
