This is not mine. I copied it from someone else. He saw it as a challenge, I see it as a third strat.
My fireteam and I were trying to see if we could kill Oryx without detonating any Corrupted Light at all. Everyone was 300+ Light with Touch of Malice and we had 4 Weapons of Light bubbles. Turns out if you try to do that, Oryx regains the favor of the Darkness after you stagger him, and goes completely immune.
We then decided to try and stack as many Corrupted Light as we could and detonate it all at once. Two sets of four Corrupted Light bring Oryx to 50% health, so we waited till we had four sets of four Corrupted Light on the ground before we detonated them. By doing the boss fight this way you completely skip the artillery phase, and goes straight into being teleported and fighting the Shade of Oryx.
It seems that you don't actually have to shoot Oryx once you detonate the Corrupted Light, as the detonations seem to deal all the damage needed to bring Oryx to 0% health. The only time you need to shoot Oryx is to stagger him so he doesn't detonate the Corrupted Light himself, and when he goes to the front of the room after he's already reached 0% health.
Basically...
1. Gather Two sets of Blights
2. Flinch Oryx
3. Get blights
4. Shade
5. Gather two sets of blights
6. Detonate
7. Front of the room
8. Shoot Oryx
9. Profit
Learning this strat and getting used to it is really the only hard part, unless your a close minded bastard who doesn't try anything new.
Edit-Lotta people getting salty. This isn't supposed to make Oryx easier. It's to make him more fun. And if you dont wanna have fun in a video game you might as well quit.

This would skip the shade. But I actually prefer that part. And it's already been done a long time ago. Look on YouTube
-
Why not just get 4 sets of blights and do him in one? No artillery. No shade. Has anyone tried this?
-
By new you mean 2 month old strategy?
-
Meh I want to see no ogres kills until the 4th set
-
I saw this done over a month ago, it's not new.
-
Old news bro
-
This is gonna be challenge mode Detonate all 16 bombs at once, while killing every light eater knight every time GG
-
This was already done on YouTube.
-
Bump me please smh
-
It's not new. It was featured in the October 8 weekly update.
-
I prefer the "artillery round" to more shadow phases
-
But why... When u just kill the Knights. Ugh. Pple, gotta make things complicated.
-
Does this work still?
-
The biggest flaw i see is the blights being to far apart to detonate them all.
-
This has been done before, but what advantage does it have over running it properly? Would much rather have a running phase and 2 shade than 3 shade.
-
I saw something similar wher oryx was 2 manned and they did similar strategy. Vid was on youtube
-
Only one problem with that list... number 9. There's no profit in this raid..
-
-
You can down him all at once if you get 16 blights/4 rounds
-
Edited by wardy: 12/2/2015 2:55:02 PMI've heard about someone trying this also not sure how it went tho seems like a sound plan and if you can kill all the ogres as they spawn without them moving from there spawn that's ideal might try it 1 time this week or next week Edit: just an fyi you do need to shoot Oryx in his chest to keep it open so the bombs can do there damage
-
Interesting....
-
Eh seems like it would be alot harder. But I like that people are looking for new ways to fight him. He's getting boring if you've me.
-
This isn't new. At all
-
Shameful self bump
