Here I will post some information I think we should all know about the raid. This is in hopes to make runs smoother, eliminate unnecessary deaths and get all known chests.
- there is a secret path under the first chest in the vog. It leads to the Templar arena. I've not found a chest here tho.
- there is definitely a chest for not allowing the Templar to teleport. It is found just before the Gorgons lab during the drop down platforming section after spirit bloom chest.
- there are 2 chests in Gorgons lab. One left, one right.
- if 2 people get teleported during the atheon fight, you can just leave the portal with relic before succumbing to oracles. That eliminated having to wipe and continues the round. Not killing the oracles will not grant times vengeance however.
- during our clan runs we should always strive to get all 4 raid chests. Not including the spirit bloom chest. The raid chest give ascendant materials, raid gear or weapons.
I'll add more as I experience more. I'm thinking about adding Vog strategy here as well. I believe if we all execute or are aware of the same strategy, we can do runs faster. My goal is to be able to consistently complete the vog with clan mates in about 45 mins. Feel free to add your inputs.

I think pushing the templar is in general a bad idea because: a) It teaches no teamwork or co-ordination. b) It is supposed to be an opportunity for people to practice with the relic. c) Pushing him just to get a couple shards is lame d) We cannot guarantee that pushing him will never be fixed. I talk to tons of people who have no idea how to beat him legit. Would you rather teach people to do it once or twice? I personally would prefer not to have overgeared people who have no idea what they are doing. e) We cannot guarantee that future content will be that cheesable. c) its mind numbingly boring. I think maxing your weapons (and correct weapon choice) is more important for hard mode raid than being level 30 because: a)Math that I won't explain here b) It shows that someone put in effort into optimizing their character and didn't just get lucky pushing atheon off hard mode checkpoints.
