A Casuals Guide to Farming Imago Loop (6-8 Minutes/run)

Hello again friends, today I do not bring you another insane challenge that isn't even that impressive but I bring you something slightly worse. A video showing how you can farm what appears to be the most tedious nightfall ever in order to acquire, or have the chance to acquire, a Year 2 Fatebringer.

Background:

Now for those of you unaware, the Imago Loop is a strike exclusive Hand Cannon that can only drop in Vex themed strikes. It has the lowest drop rate out of any of the strike legendaries, and is extremely rare, not only cause of it's low drop rate but because of the fact that there are currently only 2 Vex Year 2 strikes out there, and one of them is PS exclusive. What makes the Imago Loop so special is the fact that it's stats are identical to that of the greatest Year One Primary in the game, Fatebringer. What made Fatebringer so special was it's stability, reload, impact, rate of fire, and most importantly, it's perks. It's perfect stats combined with the 2 best perks in the game, Outlaw and Firefly, made for the BEST PVE primary in the game, right alongside my bby Mida Multi Tool <3. Now, many people say the chances of getting Outlaw AND Firefly is near impossible, but my friend u/commandercuesta did the math, it's a 1 in 100 chance. That might seem very discouraging, however, what some people don't know is Imago Loop can roll with Feather Mag as a middle tree perk, which paired with hand cannon reload gauntlets can give you the reload speed of Outlaw. So all you really need for that perfect PVE Primary is Firefly + (Feathered Mag and Outlaw), or (Feathered Mag and Insert random perk).

Strategy:

The reason I'm uploading this isn't for that sweet sweet reddit karma, it's to inform those who don't know. This week is probably your only chance to get your filthy hands on this bad boy, why you may ask? Well I can list a 1000 reasons, but here are the basics, there is only one Vex strike out of the several other strikes in the game that can become the nightfall, the nightfall is your best bet at a consistent drop rate of the Imago, on it's own, grinding regular Level 20 Undying Mind, you will get 1 Imago per 100-200 runs. On the nightfall however, you get an Imago every 4-8 runs, maybe even back to back.

So a visual interpretation of the strategy is up in the first link, to get the basics of what we do I've listed it below.

Class requirements: 1 Titan with Armor of Light, 1 Nightstalker Hunter with Bloodbound, 1 whatever you want, 1 person with DARK DRINKER (Exotic Sword)

• Kill the first blight that spawns along with the taken.

• Go up on to the ledge as shown in the video for maximum safety.

• Let the bad guys kill each other.

• 3 Blights will spawn on your left, one in the far back, one to the right, destroy them, ignore all adds.

• After destroying all 3 blights a Taken Major Centurion will spawn, kill it.

• Proceed to the stair case of doom*

• Follow the jumps I do to get across as fast as possible.

• Once you reach the top have at least one person with dark drinker ready.

• Bum rush the 3 wizards that spawn, you should be at the top of the stairs by the time they spawn, and Spam dark drinker RT/R2, it should take 2 hits to kill all 3.

• Run to the boss area.

• Wipe once you enter boss arena to despawn all adds.

• Pop a bubble with armor of light in the spot shown in the video.

• As soon as Undying Mind spawns a Hunter with tether/bloodbound should tether him, start damaging the boss.

• All 3 people shred him with Touch of Malice.

• Titan should have his super back cause of bloodbound.

• Bubble 1 runs out, ignore vex if Boss is 1/4 health, if he's at half kill some vex.

• Titan pops bubble again, everyone shreds boss with touch of malice.

• Victory.

Also if you're titan doesn't have his super by the time you reach the boss arena, spawn the Minotaurs that are sleeping by shooting the blights, and kill them, they give a shit ton of super energy.

The result of 20 hours of farming (add around 10 more Imagos that I dismantled out of rage): http://imgur.com/tuuI0Wg

Any questions comments or concerns I leave you to my manager and wife u/3nippledman. Good luck everyone and I hope you all had a merry christmas/hannukah/whatever you celebrate :)

Also I've grinded this strike for a total of about 20 hours for the past few days, and my best roll has been one with Outlaw and Reactive reload, my friend u/commandercuesta on the other hand has gotten a God roll with Firefly, Reactive Reload and Triple Tap :(
