Apparently there's an alternate way to finish today's daily story mission, and completing it in this alternate method will reward you with Black Spindle, a new exotic version of Black Hammer! Here's the thread from reddit with instructions and a video: www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3m1ue1/just_received_black_spindle_from_daily_heroic/. The funny part is it sounds like the guy just got turned around and went the wrong direction, and stumbled upon this alternate path by pure coincidence. Lucky for him, great for everyone else! I guess I know what I'm doing on my lunch hour today! Also...I'm going to throw out a guess that there are several more alternate ending missions that haven't been found yet. There are quite a few new exotic armors that were previewed/teased that nobody seems to have, and I'd bet most of them are going to have to be acquired in this manner. TTK just gets more intriguing every day!

I tried to solo this a little earlier. Just a little tough. Though now that I have an idea of how the rooms unfold maybe I can pull it off. Or maybe I need scorpions and hebbs.

THebb and I will be on within the hour (yay lunch breaks!), so we can take a crack at it together if you want. There's a badass ship that has a chance to drop, too!

Pegasus Actual: It would be great if you can wait for me on this . I won't be on until 6pm PT though.

I'm cool with running through this more than once. I don't think it will be that bad with a fireteam. I just tried to run through the final sword quest step with randoms. Did really well. Then at the end one of the random idiots killed the three extra sword guys because he didn't read the freaking quest. So pissed off. I don't suppose anyone else is ready to finish that one?

I can help you despite I am still stuck at guardian kill step, unless the step you are talking about requires all team members to complete previous steps first.

I don't know what the rules are to be honest. But it is that sunless cell mission where we uhh... struggled when it was just the two of us. Definitely need three for it I think.

Looks like hebbnh needs it too. So you two can just get together along with THebb today or tomorrow and get it over with. I would love to be part of it if you guys can wait and need a 3rd.

The contents of the original Reddit post are gone. I'll want help with this.

Q on Black Spindle: is this only available on heroic version (so we need it to show up in daily ), or on that mission all the time?

Loot are cool, but I care a lot more on the challenges the activities present. Not a big fan of killing Gatelord repeatedly...

It was really hard, and took a lot of tries, until we switched our strategy, and got it on the first try. What worked was running into the room, underneath the platform the boss is on, and going around underneath the platform wiping all of the adds. Once clear, we jumped up and laid into the boss. Having 2 hunters chaining tethers probably helped.

Having 2 hunters chaining tethers probably helped. Yeah...I was thinking that's what we'd try next. I was hoping we could go in and lay the smack down on the boss with supers and swords right off the bat then take care of everything else later, but no dice on that.

I got the sword just now. You'll be happy to know that even though the quest says a bunch about 'reforging' a sword, you get to keep your legendary version. One of the randoms killed the knight for the other random though, I feel bad for him but hey, I had to do that crap twice thanks to garbage teammate as well. What's worse is I know that the garbage teammate got his since he was purple, and I laid out both purple and blue before putting the final smackdown on the boss. Randoms man. Randoms are rough.

Black Spindle related FYI: www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/155921520Basically this is what he is saying (I believe): if you got a Black Spindle at 310, you may want to consider sacrificing it to infuse your other weapons before the patch they are going to release in the "near future". Otherwise, you will be staring at a 290 attack BS (literally!) post patch. You have been warned...

Tried. Failed. Just don't have good enough gear yet. It took too long to get to the final room.

We cleared it as a 3 man, we had more time left over even though we did drop some time in the early rooms.

I don't think he did, but I could be wrong. Sacrificed 2 BS at 300 (purchased at blueprint) to get my 1000-Stare to 300 light, then the 310 BS to get it to 308. Sacrificed 2 more to get Telesto to 300 as well. Purchased another 300 BS to keep, and betting on the non-zero chance of Bungie not nerfing it to 290. Not a big chance, but you never know Took Mal's advice to use Voidwalker and that made my life a lot easier, as Blinking around is great at staying alive.

Does not look like this hotfix addressed BS issue. The one I have, along with the purchase option at the Blueprint, are still showing 300 attack.
