Best way to 385 is to select the individual strike from the map that you can run fastest and change it from easy to Normal difficulty. This is 320 recommended light but the Blue(Rare) drops at the end of the strikes will go up to 385. I can run these in 7 minutes or less easily. I went from 365 to 385 in a few hours
I always think to myself n i dont know how anyone can "dislike" you n your homies videos! You guys are all great n keep up the good work! #KeepingTheCommunityAlive
Thank you so much for this video. I'm so sick of going to the forge and no one is there. I have actually seen people in front of me that just disappear when I get there. Bungie needs to fix this.
There are many people who have already made videos about this an it's common sense honestly. U can even go to another area on patrol an slowly go in an it'll work
Yep, exactly. Also if you are alone just put in an offering which creates a lobby and people on other servers just spawn in, all this silly talk of sneaking to the forge.
hey don't know if you know this but when you shoot hawkmoon with its new the moon glow shader on the feathers catch on fire when the magic bullets proc. the carrsion shader has like this white lightning that travels down the barrel
Oh man that explains alot. Usually I sprint in there, hear the sound of the Forge being activated, yet nothing happens and no one else is there. I definitely need to slow down
Thanks alot man for the info! I will test this out first thing when i get home lol. Always hard to find a group. Strange though that Bungie doesn't get this info out or inform their playerbase, but then i have your channel giving the missing link. Great vid as always.
questions from someone who hasn't done hardly any Archon's Forge: If I'm not the one with the active offering do I still get loot? Are you guaranteed if you have an offering? Does 3oC work in this and if so is it only on perfected offerings?
Another tip I got from reddit; if you see a siva offering on the ground, don't pick it up until you need to use it. If you don't have one in your inventory they will continue to drop on the ground
Another thing you forgot to mention or didn't know is that to get the SIVA pod thing to show up on the one side that you need to kill to get the axes, what you have to do is shoot and kill all the other pods that show up randomly throughout the area and after a couple of them it opens up one of the far sides with the pod in it
I KNEW it had something to do with the SIVA pods! I've always destroyed them every time, and gotten the axes pretty consistently. Good to know for sure, now
Same. Grinded yesterday for such a long time and got like 6 class items in a row, all were 366 and I was 366. So I decided that I wanted to play strikes, got a splicer key in Sepiks Perfected, used it in hope of getting the Devil's Dawn and guess what I got? A fucking bond, again. 366.
u only get the sniper an fusion rifle as weapons an all the armor only drop up to 365 that's it. class items are the only ones that can drop 385 or higher
Thanks this is great! I have a question regarding shiro's archons forge bounties. I had two that said to complete 4 archons forge events. 2 were done and I needed two more. I started doing events and they weren't counting towards the bounty. Was the bounty expired? Do I have to put in the offering for it to work?
I have only gotten one chest piece and a whole bunch of marks and have not gotten any weapons and have sat through at least 30 of these if someone could give me an example of how long it took them to get any weapons would appreciate it very much
That's just RNG unfortunately man. It seems like it takes quite a while for weapons to drop, most commonly it's a specific set of armor drops. Just gotta keep plugging the forge and it's a pretty good source of spinmetal and glimmer for you to farm on the side.
Finally, I can play without a fire team... thankyou.. Every time I went to Archons Forge, I was always on my own.. Who would have known to just walk slow to Archon Forge.. FFS !! this has helped me out so much..
really helpfull man but I have one more question to be answered. How do you make sure the weapons drop and doesn't go to your postmaster to maybe go away once it is filled up? I have been lucky with finding people and have farmed it for one hour twice I've never gotten a weapon to drop:/ Can you only get them when you put the offerings in yourself or what is the matter?
took me forever to get to 365. walking slowly huh? that's why every time I was running and I can see people in there but when I got up the stairs they would disappear. Thank you so much for the tip!
GG'S gaming and destiny Im pretty sure you cant use splicer keys to gain access to Archons Forge when an event is going on. I have accidentally respawned and was stuck up there. I have over 20 splicer keys
yo unknown name's rayne, love your vids. i like archon forge, when i get a team, but one really good way to make each encounter go pretty well is after getting the axes and reaching the 100%mark i found that grabbing an a axe then waiting on top of the center dome to open with the boss you get far better dps. but that is just me and my thoughts. anyway can't wait for more stuff later.
Wow I have over 200 archons forge victories in my book and still haven't gotten it. I've been grinding my ass off and you're over here with 4 of them in one day
How do you get weapons and armor above 365 light to drop? I'm 378 light and the only item that ever drops at or above that light are the class items. For the maybe 7% of the time a weapon or armor piece drops it is only 365 light.
This is the same as with the previous expansion. This is a matchmaking hall way. Just walk in past the first crate and wait a good 15 - 30 seconds before continuing in all of the way. You should have no issues getting an already in progress event. If you do not for some reason go back to the loading screen before the Giant's Husk and hit up the area again.
Going through the back cave is the best way if you don't get a group. You won't need a key, just join in. I've had times when it joined me before the stairs and I had to use a key to get in (like on a respawn). The Saladin's Vigil fusion that drops there is great for AC since it's small and gets VERY crowded with extremely pissed off fallen, 4 so far. The Gone But Not Forgotten is a hella sweet sniper that drops in AC. I have 2. RNG usually wipes it's pimply ass on me but AC has been pretty good. So far.
Good vid. Iv'e been enjoying AF if/when I can score people in the zone to actually participate. I knew about slow walking, it's just like how CoO was but I didn't know about the back entrance working as well. Same for recharging the axes with yellow health enemies (do they have an actual name?)
The axe can charge on any enemies really (it's per hit), it's just more noticeable on stronger enemies because you have to hit them more times. Yellow health enemies are majors (i.e. kill hive/cabal/taken/etc. majors bounty), while bosses are ultras.
Have you played this recently at all? Just curious if this is still accurate. I'm going back to D1 for the time being. D2 isn't all that appealing right now.
Archons forge is cool and ive got good loot but ive only done it with three players so i decided to try both and they both helped me farm to get saladins vigel
I rarely get any loot out of the forge and always wondered why. I once did 18 forges, back to back and only got 2 legendary engrams and a class item out of it besides green and blue engrams. Am I doing something wrong or just have horrible RNG?
The only thing I want from the Archon's Forge is the sniper... And after almost 200 completions, I still don't have one. While one of my friends has gotten the sniper 3 times while playing half of the amount of forge I have....
ive played a game with rng like destiny for 4 years got something that ive always wanted and the funny ting is someone thats played for 1 already has atleast 40 of them
DRUCO316 ive gotten something that has like 0.002 percent chance to drop theres also been people whove gotten over 20 of those things but its the game one so they want the one to the other class
I know them feels. I struggled to get the Psion Flayer mantle forever myself. I did happen to get the But Not Forgotten a couple of times already but neither rolled with explosive rounds so I just used them to upgrade my Dead Orbit sniper.
I'm still trying to get the hadron Gale chest piece. I spent about 6hrs grinding archons forge and got a bunch of snipers and fusion rifles. Rng is so annoying sometimes
Bold Eagle You'll be better off in heroic strikes. I went from 350 to 365 in probably 5-8 hours that way. That's pretty fast compared to what it's like after 365. I'm at 386 and haven't touched the raid.
Bold Eagle Vanguard/Crucible/Dead Orbit packages, exotic engrams, legendary engrams that became exotic gear, and Iron Banner. Edit: Also Skeleton Key chests and Nightfalls.
does anyone know what lfg on ps4 is like these days? i'm planning on buying destiny again but on ps4 (was a day one player on xbox) but don't have many friends that still play it. any help would be appreciated!
walking in does work, though for me it only worked about 50% of the time but it could be because of the times i play. did not know about the siva cluster thing, but i just kill everything anyways. really an fun event actually.
question. do being finale hit and killing the both does anything to inc drop rates because i farmed for about 2 and a half hour and got one thing when a person came in did two and got something on both times
he said he farmed a few hrs and got multiple items but i got 1 item from farming 2 and a half hrs. so i was wondering does it matter if u get the kill or not b/c a dude with ghallie came in and did two after he join and got a item each time while i was there for an hour with no rewards or legendary engrams
Wait, you say you need to shoot only 1 of the pods to spawn the axes? I no joke since starting archons forged destroyed as many as possible thinking it's like destroy at least 3 :/ thanks dude
I love archons forge, I have levelled up from 353 up to 392 just by mostly farming this place. good video!
This really works I've been doing this for about a week now and I've jumped from 331 to 352 within the week. Some was crucible but mostly was this way
thanks I been going on my sparrow but I now what to do now thanks
DR.TROUBLE Madrid SAME
just crouch and walk in
the axe thing i figured out on the 1st week.....
but we ate not talking about that
I need help getting to level forty quick
Covered absolutely everything I needed to know. You're 100% the best person to come to for anything Destiny related. Thanks heaps, man!

Omg THATS why I always see ppl walking slowly to archeons forge 😂
Thank You so much for this video because I would always go in on my sparrow
Thank you so much for this video. I'm so sick of going to the forge and no one is there. I have actually seen people in front of me that just disappear when I get there. Bungie needs to fix this.
Great Video! Definately the most informative one ive seen on Archons Forge
thank you for the slow down tip. I got into aa group of like 5 people and got all the iron lord bounties in like 45 mins
this is the best forge guide i've seen yet.
this is about the most helpful video I've seen in a while for destiny!
There are many people who have already made videos about this an it's common sense honestly. U can even go to another area on patrol an slowly go in an it'll work
Armor and weapons only drop up to 365 except for the class items
I was gonna say this. what are you talking about up to 385 unknown. lol.
which is really stupid. the archons forge drops are really dumb
thats right.
Yep, exactly. Also if you are alone just put in an offering which creates a lobby and people on other servers just spawn in, all this silly talk of sneaking to the forge.
Wait, so basically this is a way to get a higher level class item if you are in need of one. Otherwise is basically useless?
hey don't know if you know this but when you shoot hawkmoon with its new the moon glow shader on the feathers catch on fire when the magic bullets proc. the carrsion shader has like this white lightning that travels down the barrel

This was a great help, been too eager to get there in the past

Thanks for demystifying one of my current fave activities in Destiny :)
I KNEW it had something to do with the SIVA pods! I've always destroyed them every time, and gotten the axes pretty consistently. Good to know for sure, now
This is the most helpful video I've seen yet thanks!
Am I the only one that barely gets any loot from archons forge? And if I do get loot it's only a class item
Nope, you are definately not alone there. Gotten some great class Items but never any weapons....
Same. Grinded yesterday for such a long time and got like 6 class items in a row, all were 366 and I was 366. So I decided that I wanted to play strikes, got a splicer key in Sepiks Perfected, used it in hope of getting the Devil's Dawn and guess what I got? A fucking bond, again. 366.
derek ramirez same
u only get the sniper an fusion rifle as weapons an all the armor only drop up to 365 that's it. class items are the only ones that can drop 385 or higher
SHOCK WAVE I got sniper 4th time
I am curious which gun you have sent as your primary? The red one. Thanks
thank you so much for explaining the trick on how to find people!!! huge huge help!!!
So helpful bro. Loving the content :)
Thanks this is great! I have a question regarding shiro's archons forge bounties. I had two that said to complete 4 archons forge events. 2 were done and I needed two more. I started doing events and they weren't counting towards the bounty. Was the bounty expired? Do I have to put in the offering for it to work?
Archon Forge armor is capped at 365. I haven't had a weapon drop for me so.. I can't say anything about that.
the only armor that drops higher for me are the class items
you are are a F U lier does not work has low light gear
Only thing that drops at my light level (373) are my class items. Everything else is capped at 365
I have only gotten one chest piece and a whole bunch of marks and have not gotten any weapons and have sat through at least 30 of these if someone could give me an example of how long it took them to get any weapons would appreciate it very much
That's just RNG unfortunately man. It seems like it takes quite a while for weapons to drop, most commonly it's a specific set of armor drops. Just gotta keep plugging the forge and it's a pretty good source of spinmetal and glimmer for you to farm on the side.
Finally, I can play without a fire team... thankyou.. Every time I went to Archons Forge, I was always on my own.. Who would have known to just walk slow to Archon Forge.. FFS !! this has helped me out so much..

took me forever to get to 365. walking slowly huh? that's why every time I was running and I can see people in there but when I got up the stairs they would disappear. Thank you so much for the tip!
Brandon Carroll FYI the people you saw were people that were outside the building, you could just see their names through the walls
something new everyday! thanks...
Here is another tip. Go the way he said the second time. You will be locked out from the one they are currently doing if you go the first way
unless you have splicer keys
GG'S gaming and destiny Im pretty sure you cant use splicer keys to gain access to Archons Forge when an event is going on. I have accidentally respawned and was stuck up there. I have over 20 splicer keys
I thought gear only drops at 365 except class items. Did they change it? Or is this just for legendary engrams
That's what i thought
PRG Reveal He just put that in the title for views. Only the class items don't cap at 365
Great video. Lots of useful and helpful info for this
yo unknown name's rayne, love your vids. i like archon forge, when i get a team, but one really good way to make each encounter go pretty well is after getting the axes and reaching the 100%mark i found that grabbing an a axe then waiting on top of the center dome to open with the boss you get far better dps. but that is just me and my thoughts. anyway can't wait for more stuff later.
Thanks for this, worked every time so far.
Thank you!!!! I needed these tips!
Thanks for the tip on how to get it to load right and find you a team!
thanks man very helpful because I never see anyone in there, but now I know
great videos man! keep it up!
Thank you! Will be trying this today!!
Perfect time for this vid, I'm starting to grind for the but not forgotten
JimThugin lucky
Why do you want it? Just asking because I've gotten at least 3 and it didn't seem special.
something1random23 it looks awesome and it can 1 shot max armor supers
Wow I have over 200 archons forge victories in my book and still haven't gotten it. I've been grinding my ass off and you're over here with 4 of them in one day
this video was so helpful, thank you so much man
Thanks so much for this video I've gone up eight light levels in two days but cause of this technique. thanks
what would you say is the recommended light level for doing this?
big help!! I had no idea about the matchmaking thing!! lol
Thankx had the exact same problem. But i will try this method out tonight!!
Best tip so far. Thank you
this video actually helped and explained a lot. i haven't been playing the last 5 months and I'm trying to catch up. thanks dude!!! sub'd

what Helmet is that on the thumbnail to this video? and how can I get it ?

Guaranteed offerings my Arse. The quarantine missions haven't given me a single offering ever.
What gun is that in the video? The cool red one?
What faction takes spinmetal? Because I really don't need 800 spinmetal.
Good vid. Iv'e been enjoying AF if/when I can score people in the zone to actually participate. I knew about slow walking, it's just like how CoO was but I didn't know about the back entrance working as well. Same for recharging the axes with yellow health enemies (do they have an actual name?)

Love the vid man
When your in a group and want to do arcon forge you go slow as a group right to find people ?
Can you use strange coins here? I have not seen any exotic drops yet.
oh hell yeah thank you man that has helped me i know now how to get me fighting and leveling up
Have you played this recently at all? Just curious if this is still accurate. I'm going back to D1 for the time being. D2 isn't all that appealing right now.
It's usually a hit or miss nowadays ever since d2 came out
I got "but not forgotten" last night, I'm in love :)
great video. subbed
Big help with this video! thank you!
Wow really good tips, thanks alot, going to try. Subscribed
my volt is filled with spin metal but it dose help level up factions. except when your faction haven't been taking it for ages.
Extremely helpful, thank you.
This video was kick ass! Cheers for the info!!!
Thanks bro you deserve more subs
Archons forge is cool and ive got good loot but ive only done it with three players so i decided to try both and they both helped me farm to get saladins vigel
Thanks man this is super helpful!! Every time I go to archons forge I speed in on my sparrow and no one is there.
This is really helpful thanks byf!
Great tip! 😎👍🏻
people tell me! how do u get the auto rifle he uses at 1:06?!
I rarely get any loot out of the forge and always wondered why. I once did 18 forges, back to back and only got 2 legendary engrams and a class item out of it besides green and blue engrams. Am I doing something wrong or just have horrible RNG?
Thanks for this. Gonna try it today :)
expoder shanks don't explode either when when you kill the with fusion rifles
lmao. I always sped in with a sparrow. Well fuck
Thank you so very much. I have really been struggling to find people, and I'm based in England!
The only thing I want from the Archon's Forge is the sniper... And after almost 200 completions, I still don't have one. While one of my friends has gotten the sniper 3 times while playing half of the amount of forge I have....
At this point I don't care if I get the worst roll in the world, I just want it.
ive played a game with rng like destiny for 4 years got something that ive always wanted and the funny ting is someone thats played for 1 already has atleast 40 of them
you need to pray to RNG Jesus more.
DRUCO316 ive gotten something that has like 0.002 percent chance to drop theres also been people whove gotten over 20 of those things but its the game one so they want the one to the other class
I know them feels. I struggled to get the Psion Flayer mantle forever myself. I did happen to get the But Not Forgotten a couple of times already but neither rolled with explosive rounds so I just used them to upgrade my Dead Orbit sniper.
Oh this really helpful yeah no one is ever there when I speed into the force now I'll creep slowly lol
Is there a max amount of people that can be in an encounter?
I'm still trying to get the hadron Gale chest piece. I spent about 6hrs grinding archons forge and got a bunch of snipers and fusion rifles. Rng is so annoying sometimes
Can't believe people didn't know about the axes, it's quite simple really
i recommend using the Raze Lighter, its much better than the Ghorn and has alot more ammo ( i also use memory of radegast )
Very informative, thank u for the vid. Seriously, i have been getting my light slower than a sloth.
This will only get you 365 items (except class items that can be max light).
something1random23 thats still higher than what i have, and my other 2 characters I haven't touched.
Bold Eagle You'll be better off in heroic strikes. I went from 350 to 365 in probably 5-8 hours that way. That's pretty fast compared to what it's like after 365. I'm at 386 and haven't touched the raid.
something1random23 wait if the strikes go to 365 how did u get to 380
Bold Eagle Vanguard/Crucible/Dead Orbit packages, exotic engrams, legendary engrams that became exotic gear, and Iron Banner.
Edit: Also Skeleton Key chests and Nightfalls.
does anyone know what lfg on ps4 is like these days? i'm planning on buying destiny again but on ps4 (was a day one player on xbox) but don't have many friends that still play it. any help would be appreciated!
fusion rifles are also a good way to stop the exploders exploding they just disintegrate as well
Thanks for this, I actually know how archons forge works now haha
walking in does work, though for me it only worked about 50% of the time but it could be because of the times i play.
did not know about the siva cluster thing, but i just kill everything anyways.
really an fun event actually.
4 hours of none stop grnding danm
Nice vid!
So if I find a group and don't deposit an offering will I still get drops?
for exploding shank u can use ur warlock or titan melee , but must in perfect time
How didn't you figure out how to get the axes until this late in the game. On day two I went into archons forge and figured it out.
question. do being finale hit and killing the both does anything to inc drop rates because i farmed for about 2 and a half hour and got one thing when a person came in did two and got something on both times
huh?
he said he farmed a few hrs and got multiple items but i got 1 item from farming 2 and a half hrs. so i was wondering does it matter if u get the kill or not b/c a dude with ghallie came in and did two after he join and got a item each time while i was there for an hour with no rewards or legendary engrams
Maybe it depends on who makes the offering?
Yes. I'm happy for this.
Wait, you say you need to shoot only 1 of the pods to spawn the axes? I no joke since starting archons forged destroyed as many as possible thinking it's like destroy at least 3 :/ thanks dude
