Walkthrough

You will only have 3 Damage phases to complete this fight!

When this begins, you are going to be swarmed by Cabal.
Focus your efforts on whatever is closest to you.
Still, look for the Centurions and focus the most on defeating them.
Fight through them, and for now, wait.

The boss will be building in his "corruption."
After a time, he will be consumed by it, releasing a massive blast.
This will inflict Engulfed on ALL party members.
An Orb will appear about the same time at one of the plates, so a member of the Fireteam will need to run and grab it.
Have the team regroup in the back of the arena in a line.
The members will need to throw the orb from one to the next down the line.
When it reaches the end, that person will need to run at Val'Cour and throw the orb at him.
Just after that, stay away from the plates because there are incoming.
Cabal Pods will land on the outer plates with Honored Gladiators emerging from them.

Now, you will be doing going into space and destroying ships, this time dealing with 2 Ships and symbols with 2 Orbs.
Once again, members of the fireteam will need to stand on the plates to create the orange pillar.
3 random members of the fireteam will be granted Superior Retainer.
At least 1 will need to be launched into space to call out the symbols that they see there.
Once they are back in the arena, 2 orbs will spawn.
Now, 2 people with Superior Retainer will need to be launched into space after arming the weapons.
Collect the Orbs that have appeared and empower them from the triangles below the boss.
Arm the weapons by collecting the first orbs and having people move to step on the plates as marked by the countdown.
The 2 people with the orbs will need to throw theirs into the vents to arm the weapons.
2 more orbs will appear, people around should run and grab them.
Those with the Orbs, if they do not have Superior Retainer, will need to throw the Orbs to someone who does before going to destroy the ships in space.
The rest of the party needs to run to the 4 outer plates to launch them into space when they call for it.
Those with the Orbs call out their approach so the team can spend minimal time on the plates, decreasing the risk of dying.
While in space, the Orb Bearers will need to aim and throw their orbs at the marked ships to destroy them.
- If someone misses their throw, do not stress.
- There is a lot of time to reset that section and get back into space to give it a second attempt.

Having destroyed the marked ships, you have entered the damage phase for the boss.
Know that a lot of adds will spawn at this time, so be ready for it.
Wait for the first orb to spawn.
When it does, someone on the fireteam needs to run over it and pick it up.
They immediately need to run to the smoke and empower it.
Retreat to the back after that.
A second orb will appear while this is happening, requiring someone else to collect it and empower it.
- Orb Bearers, be sure to watch your Greed stacks and pass it to a nearby team member who does have not any.
- DO NOT WAIT FOR THE SECOND ORB TO BEGIN!

**The braizer WILL go red and wipe the party in the lapsed time!

Pass the orb when you are at 8-9 stacks of Greed to avoid dying.
COMMUNICATION is crucial here to ensure you can avoid dying to Greed.
Sharing the First Orb between 3 people will ensure all will survive the empowerment of the remaining orbs.
Once an Orb is empowered, pass it between a few members of the fireteam while you repeat this process to get a total of 3 Empowered Orbs.
When you have the trio of Orbs, watch for the Robot Calus to appear behind Val'Cour.
Immediately move to the side room to the left and right of the boss of at the edges of the room.
When the Robot Calus raises their hand, purple glow will issue from.
Immediately aim and throw the Orbs at that glow as the rest of the team goes into the 2 back rooms.
The fire team at this point is split 3 and 3 to the left and right.
This will break the shields around Val'Cour.
As soon as the shield is down, start firing at him!
His Critical Spot is the Jetpack on his back.
It is not a long opportunity to do damage to the boss, so make the most of it.
The Void Anchor does not increase damage, however, the Titan's Melting Point does increase the dealt damage.
Now, repeat this process once his Shield goes back up.
