Enter the Arena
Upon entering the Cabal arena in the Prison of Elders you will find yourself inside of a relatively closed space with doorways leading into the larger area. This closed space is where you and your fellow guardians will want to remain for two main reasons.
The first reason is that there will be tons of additional enemies, most wielding explosive weapons. Also Valus Trau’ug likes to get close whenever possible, but he is unable to fit into the closed area along with most of the other enemies. Defending this small area will allow the fireteam to control the waves, while also taking quick shots at the boss himself.
Secondly, staying in this area will keep the enemies grouped up. Why is this important? Well, if things get a bit hairy as the fireteam defends the small area, they will need an out of some type in order to catch a breather, something the Prison of Elders doesn’t always offer. If all of the enemies remain grouped up, the fireteam can run out and circle around the relatively clear arena. There is plenty of cover scattered about, when players can rotate out of one side, take cover to heal, grab some ammo, eliminate some of the smaller enemies, then return from the opposite side. Just don’t stay out there too long, make it quick.
