Back in OG destiny I used to spend countless hours crossing between my gameplay & your videos. Studying how to be an effective loot goblin and trusted raid teammate. I’ve been gone for a long time. But I’ve recently hopped back into this world and am having a great time 😎 although none of my old friends play anymore, it’s good to see you in the VOG again friend. To anyone who may read this may your loot drops be righteous, see you on the ground Guardians.
That's kinda the theme of most encounters in VoG 2.0. Confluxes don't go on for 3 and a half years, oracles don't go on for 7 years and gatekeepers *feels* shorter but is generally just a more engaging encounter
For teams struggling with the oracles something our team was number them 1-7 going clockwise. 1 would be middle and 7 would be the oracle closest to the back on the right side. it also helps to type the order of the oracles into chat if your on pc.
Honestly same. My group got stumped on atheon and ended up not completing it, but Templar was honestly a blast. Took us about 3 hours or so, and it really was a great experience
For the full experience play it on "360 mode." 30fps lock, 72 fov, all graphics low, and pull the resolution scale down to around 720p. New raid challenge?
only watched this to bring that rush of memories back from when i watched my d1 to prep for my first ever destiny raid back in the day. the musics back too! on a side note for anyone here learning on the oracle pre templar phase just use xeno. it one shots hobs and oracles.
For the oracles my team had two people with Xeno who sat around the back right pillar because from there you can see all 7 Oracle spawns. Then the other 4 people all just focused on killing enemies. Made the encounter WAY easier to coordinate and stay alive.
I found that running Liar’s Handshake on top tree Arcstrider to actually be a really good loadout if you’re having survivability issues as a Hunter, especially when Contest was active
We numbered the oracles 1-7 starting with r3 as 1 and then going clockwise with l3 being 7. Then we just typed the order into chat for each wave so everyone knew the order
My team’s strat for Templar was to ignore all the oracles after the first round and just focus on dps. We would then group up in the middle and cleanse and then we would continue dps
Quick thing of note, you can absolutely just ignore the hobgoblins during the Oracle encounter. My team was able to do this DURING contest mode and even got a triumph for it, so during normal mode this should be easy as hell
"templar encounters" I thought there was like, hidden different versions we missed or something lmao, didn't realize it was just going to be about oracles and confluxes as well haha
My team found that it was incredibly easy to kill Templar if everyone forgets about oracles (after the first set) and just burning it and then everyone cleansing when we needed to.
This and Eater of Worlds are the only raids I’ve managed before a Datto guide got released. I know there were already guides for OGVoG, but I’m still counting this as a win.
For oracle I like 3 oracle people 3 mob clear. 1 for the 3 on the left (spot at the back near hidden left gives vision on all of the left ones.) 1 for the 3 on right and 1 for middle. This one can also kill snipers. With that you just need to call the order you got em. (1...2....3....4...,etc...) Call em again has you destroy them. This keeps comms super clear has there is only usually 2 people calling numbers. This also lets the mob clearer camp the spawns and immediately delete them.
I dont care what people say. The changes are NOT difficult. People are greatly exaggerating the difficulty of D2 VoG purely based on Contest Mode. I think its the most played D2 raid on Day 1 or its had most day 1 completions or something from numbers ive seen. The changes were great. My group of raiders with little to moderate experience who havnt raided all together since Year 1 of D2 for Leviathan managed just fine on Non-Contest and picked up the new mechanics and had them down pat in a few runs. The D2 reprisal was great!
Me who's done the raid 3 times but still just wants to hear this because the flashbacks of being in middle school doing VoG: "I cannot believe I'm a junior in college now...."
For Templar oracles, my team named them 1 - 7 starting with right hidden and going clockwise. This means mid is 4 and left hidden is 7. It makes it easier to remember as a string of numbers than a bunch of Rs and Ls
Sweet assessment, made some personal notes on the subject: cerberus is actually really sick, especially in pvp. It kind of makes you adopt a lazy playstyle though and teaches bad aiming habits. It's also suffered a lot due to recent nerfs to auto rifles. Not sure exactly which nerf hit it but bungie's slow creep away from the auto rifle meta hasn't done it any favors. worldline zero: actually not half bad against champions. Can kill barriers before they pop shield in mid level content. Most things can do that though and lament/crown splitter/falling guillotine have it beat on one level or another. Symmetry's main home for me is actually gambit. Easiest way to get 4x kills on the enemy team almost for free. Most other places it suffers horribly though. Just doesn't have enough damage in normal pve to justify it over regular weapons, and standard pvp makes it too hard to get access to its perk to be worth it. Lumina's main problem is in its idea rather than its function. The fact of the matter is destiny doesn't have much room for support roles outside of endgame content; We kind of just faceroll everything. As stated in vid, it doesn't quite hit hard enough to justify in endgame content, so its best home is where it struggles most to perform. It would make more sense if you didn't have to get the kill to earn the noble round but as it stands it's just not worth the bother. Also GM's and raid content, you generally want a target dead as swiftly as possible and lumina's "support" is sketchy at best. It's funnest application is in conjunction with the warlock's benevolent dawn buff and new boots of the assembler to make a true party medic/support but it still struggles on the damage front.
"me, who has farmed Templar in under a min with dbl shotgun anarchy" Wait, Templar is an encounter, I thought he was just a fancy Pinyata you have to beat the loot out of.
He ends up doing it, but it wasn't worth it in contest mode :) When he tried it took an extra 3-4 shots to finish them off because regen was so quick so you just ended up wasting ammo 😁 On normal it'll be fine though
A bit of constructive criticism Datto, I feel like the Oracle encounter was not explained thoroughly enough. Do they spawn in a specific order, or randomly? Best spots to be on the lookout for oracles, and so on Other than that, amazing as always
THE MUSIC IS BACK
XenophagE
Yay I missed the datto music . It gives me energy
YEAH
Dunnun dun nun nun
YES
It’s that time again:
One track on a 15 minute loop
“It’s a D1 raid, it can’t be that hard. Easy 20 minute adventure.”
It took my team 12 hours to finish Tempo’s Edge with only a short break in between the two runs. Draining, but fun.
@Shaun Ferrell I was losing sanity after 5 hrs of Templar smacking us
But I'm with out a team😂
I didn't play D1 but how long is the D2 VoG compared to the OG?
@@dhru06 same encounter length, user mileage will vary on IRL time to complete
50% here for the guide
50% here for the guide MUSIC
SAME
perfectly balanced as all things should be
First to Last, by Gunnar Olsen. Legendary song
This is written like a trip through time, about a trip through time.
I can’t wait for the “wtf I thought that raid was released in 2014!” Comments in a few years when people forget this returned
The nostalgia hits different when datto plays this music

May luck be on your side too!
I read this and ran the raid and got a rewind firefly fatebringer and a slideshot opening shot shotty😅
I’m In the same boat I just recently started playing again since forsaken lol
I love the new changes in all the encounters, shout out oracles for not lasting for YEARS anymore, shit was just a drag before.
I like that it isn't just "Oh, an Oracle... BANG BANG BANG"
That's kinda the theme of most encounters in VoG 2.0. Confluxes don't go on for 3 and a half years, oracles don't go on for 7 years and gatekeepers *feels* shorter but is generally just a more engaging encounter
I can't learn anything without this music
It actually helps me learn, no joke.
All hail the guide music!
I've beaten the raid already, got a few fatebringers but I'm still here bumping to a Datto VOG guide like it's 2014!
For teams struggling with the oracles something our team was number them 1-7 going clockwise. 1 would be middle and 7 would be the oracle closest to the back on the right side. it also helps to type the order of the oracles into chat if your on pc.
Got confused and thought I clicked the d1 version. Going to watch that now to beat the 390 hard mode
?
@@HeroicLeo8125 he accidentally got the wrong destiny game raid guide
If they haven’t changed from D1, the notes for oracles are: C (M), D (L1), E (R1), F# (L2), G (R2), A (L3), Bb (R3)
The Templar encounter was one of my favorites for Day 1, and definitely left a good impression on me leaving it
You could say it gave you a lasting impression
Honestly same. My group got stumped on atheon and ended up not completing it, but Templar was honestly a blast. Took us about 3 hours or so, and it really was a great experience
@@F_TH_BT God I wish I could relate ahaha. We never completed it after 5 hours of trying :(
For the full experience play it on "360 mode." 30fps lock, 72 fov, all graphics low, and pull the resolution scale down to around 720p. New raid challenge?
Ah good ole datto guides, like I already know how this whole encounter works I just like listening to him
All the people who completed vault and/or challenge mood prior to the datto vid:
Here's your crown 👑 kings/queens
I can’t even beat it post-datto vid. I’m just too low of a light level.
Thanks
Thank you good sir
The music just. does. not. quit. and i love it, glad to hear it again.
One of the few tracks form the UA-cam Audio Library that isn't garbage and you are making the most of it. Good job
"Welcome to this song on a loop for (x) minutes."
The Return of a King
only watched this to bring that rush of memories back from when i watched my d1 to prep for my first ever destiny raid back in the day. the musics back too! on a side note for anyone here learning on the oracle pre templar phase just use xeno. it one shots hobs and oracles.
thank you for making this in a way that helps for those of us that started in D2!
"that music is playing again... what is THAT MELODY?!!!!"
For the oracles my team had two people with Xeno who sat around the back right pillar because from there you can see all 7 Oracle spawns. Then the other 4 people all just focused on killing enemies. Made the encounter WAY easier to coordinate and stay alive.
Absolutely loved this raid and I can’t wait to run it again tomorrow!
I found that running Liar’s Handshake on top tree Arcstrider to actually be a really good loadout if you’re having survivability issues as a Hunter, especially when Contest was active
Yoooo
Congrats on your day one clear!
Datto is the GOAT. Thanks for all you do for the community dude
We numbered the oracles 1-7 starting with r3 as 1 and then going clockwise with l3 being 7. Then we just typed the order into chat for each wave so everyone knew the order
We did the same thing but started on mid oracle going clockwise it was much easier that way
I literally have a 1hr loop of this music and I still come to this video just to hear Dattos voice over the music.
Your guides are always top tier, I just wish you started with Atheon since my team is stuck there.
I dont really need the guide but I like watching videos anyway lol
Xeno is absolutely amazing for this. Managed to 2 phase em 😁
My team’s strat for Templar was to ignore all the oracles after the first round and just focus on dps. We would then group up in the middle and cleanse and then we would continue dps
One of the best part of doing a day 1 is you know the raid insanely well...
So why am I here? the snazy music.
As a musician with almost perfect pitch, I see this as an absolute win
Quick thing of note, you can absolutely just ignore the hobgoblins during the Oracle encounter. My team was able to do this DURING contest mode and even got a triumph for it, so during normal mode this should be easy as hell
The music the nostalgia hit hard man
wow that music really brought me back
"templar encounters" I thought there was like, hidden different versions we missed or something lmao, didn't realize it was just going to be about oracles and confluxes as well haha
My team found that it was incredibly easy to kill Templar if everyone forgets about oracles (after the first set) and just burning it and then everyone cleansing when we needed to.
this music is the reason i still live
possibly unintentional troll by bungie when they said they wont change it much lol
This and Eater of Worlds are the only raids I’ve managed before a Datto guide got released. I know there were already guides for OGVoG, but I’m still counting this as a win.
He’s sounds happy for the first time in awhile
The fucking background music brought back so many memories wow
For oracle I like
3 oracle people
3 mob clear.
1 for the 3 on the left (spot at the back near hidden left gives vision on all of the left ones.)
1 for the 3 on right
and 1 for middle. This one can also kill snipers.
With that you just need to call the order you got em.
(1...2....3....4...,etc...)
Call em again has you destroy them.
This keeps comms super clear has there is only usually 2 people calling numbers.
This also lets the mob clearer camp the spawns and immediately delete them.
Anyone else do this blind day 1 but still watching this for the music? 😂
i used to crutch on these guides now i complete the raid before they come out but i still come back for music
For oracles, my team numbered the oracles 1 to 7 in a clockwise path which correspond with R3 to L3 and memorized that. Easier to remember.
so R3 was 1, R2, was 2, R3 was 3 etc.
or did the numbers start from L3?
@@praisethesun980 R3 is 1 and continue from there
10% of video: raid guide
90 % of the video: god tier music.
literally just here for the music and the voice
Can confirm, here for the music. Ahhhh how I’ve missed it.
Best OST of all time
I dont care what people say. The changes are NOT difficult. People are greatly exaggerating the difficulty of D2 VoG purely based on Contest Mode. I think its the most played D2 raid on Day 1 or its had most day 1 completions or something from numbers ive seen.

Ah how I've missed these tunes.
This video gives me serotonin
Datto coming in making content for our dumbasses for a dead game, respect.
I don't even play destiny anore but VoG? OG MUSIC!! NOSTALGIAA CITYYYY
The music, for those who are uninitiated, is ‘First To Last’ by Gunnar Olsen.
I really can’t wrap my head around these oracles
" It's looks okay, maybe I should try it day one."
Famous Last Words
We boppin, learning, with grooviness!
Man. The music is why I stay 😊
THE STOCK MUSIC HITS DIFFERENT
I had a random add on 8:50 mark . I heard you wanted to know if there is random add where it should be. Great video
I've done VoG 3 times I'm just here for the song.
Ahh... I'm a normal guy, one of those who don't go raiding without going through the datto guide
I see what you did there with the music, back to D1 experience LOL
Me who's done the raid 3 times but still just wants to hear this because the flashbacks of being in middle school doing VoG: "I cannot believe I'm a junior in college now...."
Came for the guide. Stayed for the music
Great video - really clear and well explained. 👍
Music slaps harder than a step dad 🔥🔥🔥
That's a bruh and a boomer moment
The worst part of this raid for me on day 1 was the fact that my team took 6 hours on oracles.
6 ?
@@Eyes_of_Oryx yes
The BGM is back.. You should keep it there, it's nice
Not sure if anyone knew this, but you can still kill Hobgoblins with Eriana's Vow when they crouch and go through that invincible phase.
Come for the Datto, stay for the music!!!!!!
For Templar oracles, my team named them 1 - 7 starting with right hidden and going clockwise. This means mid is 4 and left hidden is 7. It makes it easier to remember as a string of numbers than a bunch of Rs and Ls

Ngl I’m not here for the guide. I’m here to listen to Datto talk with that music in the background 😍
Eriannas vow does some real work all the way up to templar, then the usual, anarchy dps special and ikelos smg
Best way to describe oracles is a game of Simon Says
THAAAAANK YOU DADDO

YEEEESSSS THE MUSIC IS BACK
Wither hoard for confluxes is super strong
Love to see and hear it. :D.

Appreciated, as always
We were on-and-off getting wrecked in a well on templar fight in contest mode. Never really figured out why...
Can't wait for jez's "Vault of Glass but I did it 7 years later."
Titans on the oracle encounter. Xenophage actium war rig destroyed hob goblins. One shot red bars two shot yellow also it spawned war mind cells
Oh man I can't wait for reset so I can get the full set for every class
NOTE FOR CONFLUXES: Overload Champions will spawn and the if they sacrifice, it is an instant wipe.
I know what I’m doing but I’m purely here because of the music
A bit of constructive criticism Datto, I feel like the Oracle encounter was not explained thoroughly enough.
Do they spawn in a specific order, or randomly? Best spots to be on the lookout for oracles, and so on
