Annihilator Totem Issue - Solving
Look to edit 2! I think I have found the reason.
[b]Original Post:[/b]
So idk what up with the Annihilator totems but when I was soling it and while I did it with a team, the totems one the exit side of the bridge randomly activate and kill you for no reason.
I was not on the plate. Soloing this is an issue because you can't go sing lullabies to both totems to get them to go back to sleep.
When soloing the first attempt of the day they activated then stopped and activated again and killed me. The second time they activated then stopped but then didn't activate again. It was so weird because I had done the same solo the day before right after the patch and they never spontaneously activated.
With my full team, we had one guy across and the damn things activated and killed us. The second time we made sure to get 2 across fast incase they did again, but this time they didn't.. Is this a glitch or what's up? Has this happened to anyone else?
Edit: Nevermind, I seem to have found the issue. Going to close to ogres spawn seems to activate them. ***This is Incorrect*** (At least in part) I've done it multiple times without setting foot in ogres spawn and still activating totems. Look to edit 2.
Edit 2: Actually Its not that, I did some testing last night. And My best conclusion is its linked to elevation. If your to high up, like on a rock or hiding it seems to activate the totems. But if your on the ground the whole time it doesn't seem to. I need to test it more but it seems to be a guard against hiding on a rock. It seems that if you are to far back into the ogres spawn it will also activate. So try it by stayying near the middle or around the rocks on either side.
All theories seem to be inconsistent so idk what to say,

1 ReplyWhen the first guy crossed was he standing on the middle platform on the exit side of the bridge that will cause the totems to start on that side.. I think

It's the patch. The made it so if your not on the other side and more importantly in the main section of the other side when the ogers spawn it will auto kill you. You can still go the the back to de spawn the adds but once you ( if your solo) or anyone from your team crosses you have to stay up front and kill the enemies. Or you can just do it normal by not despawning the adds and everyone crossing legit. But once you are over you have to stay in the front of the top side. If everyone goes into the corners it treats it like your not on the right side and will kill you.

Yeah, tested it too. Going too far activates the totems.

1 ReplyHas happened to me pre-patch.

4 RepliesI think it is glitched. We did it with a full team and had 1 on each totem on both sides and 1 on each plate and everybody stayed in place when it fired off and killed all of us. It was not doing this way before the patch. We did it legit before patch but cheesed it also and even doing it legit we never had the totem issues that we have had since. Going to try a run at it agin tonight hopefully and see how things go.

Just kill the Ogres as soon as they spawn and you get the loot.

2 RepliesMy team accidentally stumbled upon cheese last night. The ogres spawned with only two of us across. We killed them, bridge formed on its own and we all got across. Then wiped to make sure timing was right for the chest of course. Worked very similarly to previous despawn/snipe cheese. Will do some more testing tonight to see if it is recreatable. I don't want to say anymore about how, until I'm sure.

1 ReplyIt's linked to the sword bearer, gatekeeper and/ or bridge. The totems only ever actually get angry when I start forming the bridge, but sometimes when a sword bearer/gatekeeper gets near them they also start getting pissy.
-
3 RepliesI soloed it and the only problem I had was the -blam!-ing sword bearer running away from me
-
It will activate if the guy who guys across gets to far from middle and also if he dies it will activate.
-
It is definitely linked somehow to where you are standing. I had them start to go off when I went too far back towards the Ogres spawn, and when I was on the center plate too long while hacking at the Gatekeeper (neither time did it kill me). All other times, when I stayed behind the far right rock I was fine (although I did stay on the ground the entire time). I tested this on multiple characters solo, and with several people staying on the opposite side. You also don't need to kill the Gatekeeper to get it to work if you are doing it solo.
-
1 ReplyNope, when I tried to solo it I was on the ground on the ogre side and still had them fire off. Once I started standing by a totem while the ogres came I never had it go off again.
-
1 ReplyHmm that's wierd. Always happens to me and my friends. Looks like your blessed haha.

6 RepliesI was soloing that part yesterday and two or three times I tried to snipe until the ogres shown and all of that times, at the exact same time the ogres spawn, the four totems activated and killed me. Even on one of those trys I sniped over one totem and it was the same, they activated. So if you find any other way that you can kill the ogres without crossing the bridge, It would be very helpful.

5 RepliesGet someone across When it happens tell them to run to the middle pad that deactivates it
-
17 RepliesIt's timed. You can't kill one without killing the other simultaneously.
-
1 ReplyDid you kill the gatekeeper? Because that's exactly what happens if you try and cheese it without, as soon as the ogre spawn they go off.
-
1 ReplyYou can't be to far to the right or left passed the totems on the ogre side.
-
1 ReplyIt's because destiny put a thing in the game now where if u go in the back where u usually go and despawn adds that it will make the totems go red on the other side. You have to kill an ogre in 5 seconds and under if u want the totems to stop being red
-
3 RepliesIf you hunter then at the end of the bridge there are 2 small boxes either side if it. Draw the ads away and go invisible. Go back to these boxes and wait for the others to kill the ogre from their side. I killed the gatekeeper and did this and it worked but you need two people on the totems on the other side at all times. You cannot damage the ogres from your side as it sets on totems
-
7 RepliesYup this happened to me when I solo'd it. I pushed back into Orges spawn for cover. Laaaaaame.
-
1 Reply...that's what's happening? Ffs...was driving me mental
-
If you go under one when they activate it will turn both off as seen here.
-
Yeah just stay close to the totems you should be fine
