Friday the 13th we hit Eternity Vault for the first time. Many of us have been excited to raid again and in a new game! So we decided to have a Lan party and start our raids off there.
We were able to work through to the last boss, after a few attempts we got him to 8% We have the mechanics down now, just need a bit more gear to put him down!
We killed the 3rd and 4th Bosses but they were more of a puzzle boss.
He bugged out on a couple of attempts, but the best we got him to was 8%. With a bit better gear he will be no problem.
