Goodluck bro, word of advice for final boss, minimize deaths across the team, act like you have no revives, if people die on the 3rd damage or on last stand and you don’t have a revive, you’re certified screwed
Pro tip for anyone who has et figured it out yet if you have a relic you can see symbols dropped from taken glyphkeepers and non-relic people see ones from scorn
Important note: If the Glyphkeeper is taken, only a relic holder can read. If the Glyphkeepr is scorn, only non-relic holders can read. They can change sides they spawn on.
Thank you for the guides Datto, you always are the clearest with your descriptions and you make sure to explain mechanics and where they happen even if it’s redundant. I look forward to the next raid/dungeon/exotic quest!
5:08 it is only the dark relic that triggers the timer, the rest can be placed into their holders ahead of time and then you can even burn the timer and have the same person pick up the taken relic or the agis.
I think Gjally is more versatile and pretty much does the same job better, but since it’s a new exotic I feel it will play a role in the raid somewhere.
The taken immunity in the 3rd and 4th room of the summit isn't in random locations like described here. There will be two patterns of them appearing right or left first and then it'll always zigzag between them. In the 3rd room, if the taken ball was right in front of the door, we had our eye of riven go to the left first and if the taken ball was right where the two stairs start, it would go to the right. Since both teams should be able to kill their ads and glyphkeepers with this strat to spawn the hourglass-knight, the rest of the room is just about having the relics switch places to manage everyone's problems.
I found a well built devourlock could solo an entire side of the summit barring 1 or 2 cleanses and the taken blight with ease. It was super interesting to see Void 3.0 get it mettle tested vs content mode and it performed incredibly well.
One thing I'd like people to be aware of... if you have "dunked" on the first part of Rhulk five times, you'll soft-lock the movement to the damage phase if you deposit a sixth and seventh emanating force at the same time. Rhulk will not move until everyone has wiped. Be very aware of the number of times you have dunked or you could scuttle an otherwise clean run!
Something to add/correct, for the Summit, the timer only refreshes when the nut is dropped into a slot. You can safely drop the other relics into a slot and wait to drop the nut for either a breather or, if you have enough time remaining, to let someone who dropped one of the other relics to pick it up again by waiting out the lockout timer.
Love your videos so I'll put my teams findings here, Rhulk ai seems to have 2 very finniky things about it: 1 - he tends to not go after the guardian with the force buff, he will still attack you if in range but will not aggro onto them. 2 - He will more then often dash attack/aggro towards the closest player to him, meaning with a good player you can have them keep aggro and have him on 1 side of the arena. Again those these can both be finniky and he can choose to target someone else out of the blue, but are team did gain massive success and a completion with this.
yeah having one aggro is how we did it as well, the whole team pretty much strafes the opposite side of the arena as the boss and the aggro dance. be sure to hard clear shadow thrall on their side whenever they spawn because they can easily get them killed if they have to stop boss focusing to kill them.
I know it's probably a sore spot but congrats on your completion. Hard work getting to where y'all did and being constant top contenders in the race. Kudos for the quick guides too especially after your first completion.
The 1st raid I ever completed and have played since D1. 1 of the best feelings I have ever experienced from a game in my life. Such a visual overload that adds to the experience.
Ooh, this is really cool! I like how much more active Rhulk is, when compared to a lot of other raid bosses - all the moving around, varied attacks, all that. Excellent guide, as well.
Another thing to note is that during the 3rd and 4th room of the summit, after the Eye of Riven relic is introduced, it has a set pattern based on which side it starts on, if the taken immunity ball started on the lower left stairs, then the next one is up the right side path, then alternating back and forth from there, vice versa, same thing for 4th room.
For second room: If the immunity blight spawns close at the entrance it will then spawn left, right, left. If it spawns in the middle of the entrance area it will then spawn right, left, right. Hope that saves yall a little time instead of thinking it is completely random spawns and running to check all locations.
I finally completed this with my mates an hour ago… amazing final fight and really fun/rewarding once everyone got the doges down pat… definitely one of my favourite raids
One note you may not of realised, during final boss, final stand while you gain the debut passively, standing in his attack reduces stacks, hence increasing your damage window before dying
I heard from someone who I was running with that Rhulk has the hitbox of a wyvern where if you run at their dash you might be able to phase through and survive since Rhulk's dash makes the wyvern dive sound
Thank you for getting these videos out so quick. These guides (particularly this one) helped me get a better understanding of some of the encounters and helped me get that contest clear.
hey Datto idk if you're gonna see this but even if you don't I hope you know that you're a blessing on the D2 community and I think you one of the prime examples of a good community member. one day math class will get WF or I'll eat my hat
I wanna add that you also run, radiant light with high energy fire combo, regardless wich strategy, since people will be activating supers youll buff other players and no adds will take away your charge with light, so even if you lose bubble or well you still have high energy giving you damage boost
Absolutely this, high energy fire is incredible here as wells aren't too reliable and bubble can protect the boss from damage, so I highly reccomend it to everyone
Hey we heard you like relics. So we made an encounter with a relic, coupled with another relic, with yet another relic that all need to be used. So now you can hold a relic while using a relic while having another relic!
@@catsgame9282 only four encounters and contest mode is still up so no I don’t think it’s longer than other raids. Once normal hits it’ll be a quick run imo
My team made it to rhuk in the 24 hrs but had to disband, since we weren’t expecting the 24 hr extension. Thanks for guide! It’ll help of finish the clear tonight!
Was watching your stream when we were stuck. My mate and I laughed so hard when we saw the first kick…chat also went bonkers. #memories. This is such a big brain raid…not sure how popular it will be. People will have to learn jobs that are more demanding than DSC by x100
I really hope this pyramid ship (or they can say another pyramid ship appeared) becomes like leviathan, where we had multiple raid lais that all had the same setting with deviations (but ultimately the aesthetic would remain the same).
we're definitely going to see more of it since we have the new missions where we clear scorn out of it, but idk about raid lairs since the pyramid feels like its specifically home to rhulk, and with him gone the only things that will be in the pyramid from here will be intruders like the scorn
i really enjoy watching how dattos team has done the raid vs us. for example, in the 3rd section of the raid we did tons of nova/titan slam and ghallys and they were in wells and used oestio.
Something my group noticed for summit is that the symbols dropped by the phalanx can only be read by relic holders, and additionally the side that has a phalanx first will also have the Overload hobgoblin
It's interesting that the bleak watcher shots bounce off of rhulk instead of applying the freeze visual effect like it does to most other bosses Just some interesting attention to detail
@@RainmanMP the orb pretty much acts like a relic, if you used the actual encounter relics you'll see their ad clear isn't very good compared to the players.
Hey man thanks for the helpful information through and through! Managed to get the raid exotic off my second run. Looking forward to not *having* to run the raid weekly now
My fireteam spent 27 hours on his raid only to give up a the final boss. The best we could do was 50% of his HP. Day 1 was so buggy and inconsistent, it just wasn't possible for us to finish. The boss was rubber banding, not telegraphing properly or straight up going invincible and breaking the encounter. I'm glad you guys got to finish it and you did really well in the race. I was watching your stream when you finished and I genuinely thought you got the world first. My friends and I were crushed when we heard the news. You may not have gotten it, but you have some great fans in myself and my friends, and we were really happy for you and your team!
A couple of notes on Rhulk - You have 3 damage phases to get him into last stand before he enrages, and Outbreak Perfected's SIVA trait doesn't target his glaive as far as we could tell. Also, the kicks likely won't kill you outside of contest mode but I still seriously suggest not getting hit by them, they still hurt like hell.
ruinous came in clutch as well, i ran the void eager edge sword for mobility and heavy add clear but the orb with volatile rounds + void damage boost wells actually was nuts. guard blinds everything including immune shields, and also applies volatile. really good with devour but i also heard its great for proccing invis on hunter as well.
Just fyi the taken relic in large room has a set rotation based of the location of the first orb... if the first one is at the top of the stairs right at the start of the encounter then the next one will be left side of the room at the top of the big stairs and if it is past the stairs at the start in the little dip against the wall then the next blight will be on the right side. from there you will flip sides for every blight until the end. Hope that is helpful!
This raid seems way too confusing. Once I try it out, I’m sure it’ll make more sense, but from these videos, it seems like this raid is going to fall into the garden of salvation raid where not many people will want to do it consistently. I appreciate the videos Datto! I look foreword to further videos simplifying this raid with specific load outs etc
@@LakerTriangle 3rd is VERY straight forward, you just gotta run it once or twice. This raid as a whole is gonna be an absolute LFG nightmare. It will be fun friends and clan mates, but I don’t see how any of these encounters will go well without great communication
@@xKCLoL the problem I see is everybody not using the standard names... People are going to get used to their funky calls and that's what screws up LFG.
Honestly, only raid ive ever done have been 1 run of last wish, and a couple runs of garden of salvation, still need to do vault and dsc, but this raid looks hella fun
my fireteam had no clue that *two* of the time-extending knights spawned in the 3rd/4th rooms of summit. managed to clear it, but man, what a nightmare.
Thank you so much for the guides. I didn't expected to see them so fast! I know you must be a bit tired after the race so I really appreciated it. You're the best Datto!
It looks like you can do the stun trigger on him like Caretaker: 1. Person stays close to trigger his close melee attack. 2. Back off. 3. Repeat. He doesn't go anywhere when you do this. If you're too far away he reverts to slid attack/bomberman bomb.
Datto you're the best ❤️ my clan got up to caretaker so I am glad to be seeing your last video and this one! I can't wait to get through the rest with my clanmates and of course your guides are chefs kiss 🥺
One thing that I hope is just due to contest is the incredible inconsistency in the hit detection of rhulks attacks leading up to the dps faze. I cannot even count as high as the amount of times he shot out a beam that was easily 8-10m away from me that insta killed me, meanwhile an equal amount of times I've watched it directly hit people in their own clips and they don't even go under 50% health. And no I'm not talking about people with the buff that are meant to get hit lol and yes the character I was doing this on has great recov and resilience
rhulk is actually very much a darksouls boss and his attacks can be avoided really easy, even when they glitch and shoot the wrong telegraph. the beams can be jumped over if you start your jump as he charges and it completely avoids all damage, and rhulks dash attack only does damage once he hits the end of his path, meaning you can slide straight through his path at you and be completely unharmed.
@@Ahnock yes I'm well aware of how easy it is to dodge them. What I'm saying is its insane how often I am dodging them perfectly and dying while watching others who get hit and survive. I'm sure as the game stabilises it won't be an issue anymore but for the horrid connection show contest was, it sucked.
If your struggling on the upended summit ruinous effigy is crazy good with hunter with stylish executioner and volitile rounds make for non stop invisibility and great ground control and damage.
I like how the challenge day 1 for Upended Summit was with people being confused af on why there was so many relics and running out of time to deal with them.
Last stand on this guy during contest is the only reason my team does not have a 24 hour clear, nor will have the contest mode emblem. First time we got there, his health bar wasn’t even visible when we wiped
The thing we found out abot the symbols in relic archives is that only a relic holder can see the symbols on the side with the taken glyph keeper. Edit: also the overload only spawns after you kill the taken glyph keeper as well.
Clarification, I’m like 90% certain that the nut relic is the one the determines the timer reset when placing it in. The other relics can be placed in but the nut is the reset timer relic.
The boss glitched for my team on our “last try” and was standing still, and like the OGs we are we tried pushing him off. We literally carried him to the edge moving centimeters every couple minutes and after 2 hours we got him to the edge and almost the entire way off, his hit box was floating fully over the edge. But after that we could no longer push, and he was left just dangling over the ledge with one foot holding him over. RIP to our 24hr emblems
I can vouch for swords on third encounter, especially the grasp of avarice sword with unrelenting. You can absolutely mow down all the adds while getting constant health
Actually for symbol reading, the relic holders can only read the symbols “dropped” by the taken glyphkeeper, where as people w/o relics can only read the symbols dropped by the scorn glyphkeeper. Just a tweak to your explanation 👍🏼 and it’s random for which side they each spawn on in every room. Oh and the taken knight spawns are triggered by killing the taken glyphkeeper.
I tried to follow as best as I could but I think this is one of those raids you truly learn while "on the job".
People still gonna be adamant about KWTD on lfg. And being assholes about people who haven’t cleared it 100 times

oh really? i knew it was once they were popped in but i didnt think about it being a specific relic, thats really good to know going forward
We used that same strat between the 2nd and 3rd room. It's so much easier to keep the same people on the relics.
parasite did wonders to one shot glyphkeepers, even on contest with only x5 or so
We had good experiences with Gally too.
I’ll keep that in mind
I think Gjally is more versatile and pretty much does the same job better, but since it’s a new exotic I feel it will play a role in the raid somewhere.
@@NobleBok depends. Maybe you don’t own gally

@@xKCLoL the problem I see is everybody not using the standard names... People are going to get used to their funky calls and that's what screws up LFG.
I mainly use lfg. Im sure it’ll get easier as time goes on but I expect difficulties with callouts/etc
Can’t wait to Sherpa this raid.
Gonna be a hoot!
Can I Add you as a friend for when you're doing a sherpa run?
Honestly, only raid ive ever done have been 1 run of last wish, and a couple runs of garden of salvation, still need to do vault and dsc, but this raid looks hella fun
Just beat Rhulk after 7 hours.... Wasn't a day one but it was still with contest on. I'll take it!
my fireteam had no clue that *two* of the time-extending knights spawned in the 3rd/4th rooms of summit.
managed to clear it, but man, what a nightmare.
Thank you so much for the guides. I didn't expected to see them so fast! I know you must be a bit tired after the race so I really appreciated it. You're the best Datto!
It looks like you can do the stun trigger on him like Caretaker:
1. Person stays close to trigger his close melee attack.
2. Back off.
3. Repeat.
He doesn't go anywhere when you do this. If you're too far away he reverts to slid attack/bomberman bomb.
Datto you're the best ❤️ my clan got up to caretaker so I am glad to be seeing your last video and this one! I can't wait to get through the rest with my clanmates and of course your guides are chefs kiss 🥺
The guides are welcome but kinda sad because Datto didn't put the clip of Cyth getting puntkicked into the next pyramid by Rhulk.
that reading shit was so confusing but now I understand it
One thing that I hope is just due to contest is the incredible inconsistency in the hit detection of rhulks attacks leading up to the dps faze. I cannot even count as high as the amount of times he shot out a beam that was easily 8-10m away from me that insta killed me, meanwhile an equal amount of times I've watched it directly hit people in their own clips and they don't even go under 50% health. And no I'm not talking about people with the buff that are meant to get hit lol and yes the character I was doing this on has great recov and resilience
rhulk is actually very much a darksouls boss and his attacks can be avoided really easy, even when they glitch and shoot the wrong telegraph. the beams can be jumped over if you start your jump as he charges and it completely avoids all damage, and rhulks dash attack only does damage once he hits the end of his path, meaning you can slide straight through his path at you and be completely unharmed.
@@Ahnock yes I'm well aware of how easy it is to dodge them. What I'm saying is its insane how often I am dodging them perfectly and dying while watching others who get hit and survive. I'm sure as the game stabilises it won't be an issue anymore but for the horrid connection show contest was, it sucked.
If your struggling on the upended summit ruinous effigy is crazy good with hunter with stylish executioner and volitile rounds make for non stop invisibility and great ground control and damage.
Me and my fireteam dancing to the ICONIC background music while jedi master Datto teaches us the raid.
I have never been so lost in a raid guide…
I like how the challenge day 1 for Upended Summit was with people being confused af on why there was so many relics and running out of time to deal with them.
man the song is dope, never heard of it before
Last stand on this guy during contest is the only reason my team does not have a 24 hour clear, nor will have the contest mode emblem.
First time we got there, his health bar wasn’t even visible when we wiped
The thing we found out abot the symbols in relic archives is that only a relic holder can see the symbols on the side with the taken glyph keeper. Edit: also the overload only spawns after you kill the taken glyph keeper as well.
Another tip for exhibition in rooms 3 and 4 taken glyphkeepers and first blights are opposite each other
"it is possible to take zero dmg in this encounter"
*very faint "guardian down" LUL
Clarification, I’m like 90% certain that the nut relic is the one the determines the timer reset when placing it in. The other relics can be placed in but the nut is the reset timer relic.
The boss glitched for my team on our “last try” and was standing still, and like the OGs we are we tried pushing him off. We literally carried him to the edge moving centimeters every couple minutes and after 2 hours we got him to the edge and almost the entire way off, his hit box was floating fully over the edge. But after that we could no longer push, and he was left just dangling over the ledge with one foot holding him over. RIP to our 24hr emblems
He fell off in our run but he just teleported back up
you know they extended contest to 48 hrs? you can still get the emblem right now
Rhulk will "soft lock" if you manage to dunk a seventh emanating force before he can clear all buffs/debuffs.
I can vouch for swords on third encounter, especially the grasp of avarice sword with unrelenting. You can absolutely mow down all the adds while getting constant health
Volatile rounds falling guillotine and taken relic
THE MUSIC IS BACK LETS GO!🎉
GGs Datto thank you for your service
5:08 it should be noted that the only relic that resets the timer is the nut, the other two can be banked at any time
Daddy Datto with another helpful guide. We all LOVE YOU DATTO
Actually for symbol reading, the relic holders can only read the symbols “dropped” by the taken glyphkeeper, where as people w/o relics can only read the symbols dropped by the scorn glyphkeeper. Just a tweak to your explanation 👍🏼 and it’s random for which side they each spawn on in every room.
Oh and the taken knight spawns are triggered by killing the taken glyphkeeper.
The knight spawns by killing both gluphkeepers not just the taken one. Another tweak to your correction
Can confirm swords work wonders here...especially ones with chain reaction!!!
