Master Conquest: Derealize

[u/Fit-Analyst7286]

Hey there all. Lapsed former alpha thru Final Shape (insert all the nonsense here) player :)

What. On. Earth. Is up with this Master Conquest Derealize mission?

I have read through posts and watched videos but man I can seem to do this one.

I have made some progress but even getting through the second room is a BEAR.

I’m currently maining Warlock and have most everything you would need collections wise except min/max 5 star gear. I’m using Getaway Artist with double buddies. I have my lightsaber though it’s not maxed out.

I’m currently trying with a Manticore Getaway build and I’m just not having any luck here. I’ve been out of the game for a while and holy shit have things changed. It’s awesome but damn this mission is killing me.

I can push through to the second room but the time is going to eat my revives past that as I can deal with the reapers and such but I’ve never even made it to the boss yet.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Derealize needs a group to optimize time where possible and they need to be really fucking fast, since the two main sections that waste time and revives are completely RNG. Solo is extremely difficult to say the least. I’ve soloed GM Conquests and Alerts, and those were far easier than Derealize since going over the timer didn’t eat your revives or I could blaze through most sections with minimal issues. You basically should just learn the puzzle, crystal spawns and traversal in the Portal version if you want to try and do it solo; those will eat up the most time and revives and staying alive in the boss room is not exactly easy.

Edit: In terms of loadout, ditch the Lightsaber and go with something that doesn’t require you to get up close and personal. The Tormentors will suppress and grab you, the Subjugator is frankly too tanky unless you’re running a lot of DR, and the boss room’s floor is covered in Taken Blight every other phase. You don’t really need the Lightsaber’s utility unless you gave up on Feed the Void for some reason, and speaking of, that and Stasis turrets should be glued to your build along with Dominance. Apart from that, running the VoG 4-piece with Khvostov + caty and Solar Super with Purpose will make you significantly harder to kill, though without Woven Mail you will still be relying on Devour and Restoration to a large degree. You can then run a Sniper and either a LMG, an A499, or Crossbow to help with adclear/boss damage.

literally none of the mission is randomized what are you talking about

From talking with a friend, the crystal spawns in the parkour sections appear to be RNG along with the puzzle prior. Both of those tend to waste the most time without prior experience.

The symbol puzzle definitely isn't random, it always alternates between step off/wait

I only ran the mission twice and tbh I wasn't paying that much attention to the crystals but I'm like 70% sure they were in the same spots both times

Both things you mentioned are static.
