I didn’t really want to try this incredibly cheesy strat, but curiosity got the better of me.
If you send 4 of your fireteam members back into Venus and/or Mars during the Gatekeeper encounter when it’s time to defend the middle conflux and complete the encounter, the 4 members can keep dying until they spawn in the portals and fight an “Atheon placeholder” (idk what it looks like I didn’t go in the portals).
Once they kill the placeholder and start the encounter, it instantly finishes without any boss fight and awards everyone the loot -_-
This is a similar situation to the good-ol’ Atraks-1 cheese where you could get out of bounds and kill the placeholder captain for an easy encounter.
What’s worse is that the LFGs I was with previously traded a bunch of gatekeeper checkpoints across their characters, deleted one of their characters, then complete the raid with a brand new guardian just for another chance at getting Mythoclast.
Just letting anyone know that this exists to see if it needs a patch or if it’s just gonna be left as a “feature” for the Vault of Glass raid
