ENOUGH! I hereby decree, the OMEN Exterminator as our champion! After seeing your comments its pretty obvious that you guys want the OMEN video first and Ive decided to work on that one in earnest. Dont worry, the BET-C video is definitely happening too. Thanks for voting! (also I guess I can do Community Posts with polls in them now so Ill probably just do that in the future for this kind of thing. I got that ability late for this one so oh well!)

It's always a good laugh when doretta runs one over

Omen Is Painful, Me and My freinds call it deadly just dance for a reason

Definitely do Omen next. And remember, minerals and geodes! Or somethin like that

First time I came across one of these things it was on a mission with some randoms, we spent like, 10 minutes trying to figure out what the hell we were doing, and when we finally figured it out, the thing started healing.

Omen would be good, more people need to know how to do them.

"If you're watching this in December of 2020," >releases the video on December 31st

I am not kidding when I say that in a haunted cave mission, in an egg hunt, in the main room, there was a corruptor and a tyrant weed, quite hard.

An important note on dealing with sprouts; yes, they resist most elemental damage, but ANY DoT effect (fire, shock, neurotoxin, etc.) will basically "stun" the sprout from attacking you, giving some extra time to evaluate your next move

My beardy bois and I have taken quite the hiatus from DRG and were scared shitless at the vast locked content in the bestiary on our return. In-depth break downs such as this has prevented any additional salvage operations to be queued by Mission Control.

other suggestions: leveling guides for us greenbeards - teach us what the early 'trap' upgrades are or what are some solid ways to spend our limited resources Guides for Grenade / Mobility Tools / Utility Tools for each class. Is shooting minerals with Gunner really any good? i see people do it alot but the resources seem lesser.

Omen for sure. Some greenbeards I get matched up with don’t even know how they work

Tip for spotting the healing pods, they emit a stream of thin purple light out to the main heard when they're healing it, you can use that to see if there are any and find them if they're obscured.

Great to see some bossfight guides. I'd prefer OMEN next, I'm kinda fed up having to waste time not getting any cores because people don't want to fight it/don't know how the fight works.

definitely omen, greenbeards keep eating shit on it

Found myself as scout with 3 green beards who refused to attack healing pods. Went through 2 supply drops and had to resort to pickaxing them... Guide should be mandatory viewing before playing

I’d say do one for the omen it’s difficult and a kick in the teeth if you don’t know what to do also keep up the good content

What I like about the Weed is that if it’s in a closed off or some other convenient spot you can just leave it alone and come back later when you’re more prepared. You can do this especially if you already destroyed the healing pods or if it can’t heal any further anyway.

Great guide and sick editing. I love your stuff. My vote is for the OMEN tower. There's a lot of fun ways to approach taking it down and a guide in your style for that would not only be good to watch but would surely give some much needed education to the many dwarves I've seen struggle with not wiping on it.

While I was new to the game, I was playing with a friend and ended up in a VERY deep pit with a Tyrant Weed in it. Luckily I was Scout so I could zip out of there

The dreadnought hiveguard’s fight is similar to the korlok tyrant-weed with a wash, rinse, spin and repeat pattern cycle, but it keeps the same difficulty. My ideas for the dreadnought tyrants are: First stage of the sentinels, the hiveguard does not attack at all except for shooting fireballs at you every three minutes When the three weak point spores are available, the enemy shoots three fireballs (every fireball is shot every 1.5 seconds) with a cooldown of one minute When vulnerable at the back, it is the exact same. (The Weakspots on the hiveguard are covered up with a very heavy layer of Armor material) - The hiveguard spawns in more until / till the first third of its health has been depleted Then it adds a knock back stomp attack that launches dwarves thirty meters per second horizontally and thirty metres per second vertically (the stomp animation is super slow at first but then progressively increases faster and harder!) The dreadnought hiveguard’s fireball technique uses the season two and later attack and keeps the old one, the old one remains one minute, and the new one starts at 30 seconds between rounds. (The new fireball blast is in between 0.5s to 1.5.). Then on the third phase of the fight is with the stomp speeding up and the shockwave knock back blast excels 50mps horizontal and vertical and when almost dead it reaches 60mps to 120 meters per second. And the new fireballs are ten seconds between each time and the old season 1 and back is 15 seconds. That all I have to say about this. Goodbye!

In all my times in DRG, I had only ever found 1 team that was able to take down that damn weed. It really all came down to some freaking cooperation. You need the team to be fully into it and not half arse it. Or have one or more teammate off doing some other shit. Another thing to look out for is positioning. Having the team where they need to be to make work of the weeds parts and make sure that core gets opened fast, and unloaded on it even faster.

Having the high ground is a significant advantage for this encounter. Easy to take cover, and quick to peek to shoot the pods and the core.

I would like to see BET-C, It's always so chaotic to fight it so it would be nice to know more, Also keep up the great content!

My friends and I have another strategy for killing Korloks--Goon Rushing. We simply jump it like a tourist in downtown NYC.

Wait, you're tell me you ONLY have 1.6k? Mate, this is some solid content, you're probably gonna blow up soon.

One time I encountered this on a hazard 2 solo mission and defeated it. But I think I got really lucky because the heart clam was on top of a rock and the weeds couldn’t shoot me. I could just peek over the edge of the rock to shoot the healing pods and weeds I am addicted to watching your YT videos! Keep it up!

The intro animatics are some top-tier editing

id say teach people about the omen. its in my opinion the most rewarding boss creature as it can infuse matrix cores.

I found those annoying because sometimes a scout rush into it and triggered it by accident, then it starts blasting shots through the cave forcing us to take cover - it has such a long range.

Karl's approval is always something to consider

Me and my friend were fighting a tyrant weed. it was a little under half heath when mission control wants to chime up and go "team we have something big on the scanners". for people who don't know that spawns a dreadnought. The worst part was we found a betsy after that right when we didn't need her it was also end of the mission too

Ah, the weed. The boss that can be either a breeze or a complete nightmare depending on how the clam is positioned. Shooting sprouts do massive damage and their spawn is not exactly too predictable. The fact that wave may happen in the middle of the fight is also a problem - chaos is the worst enemy when dealing with the weed.

I once had a Tyrant weed in a TERRIBLE location in a solo game. It was so bad that all plant parts were on different platforms and different cave halls and If I was unlucky a healing pod would spawn downstairs so I had to run or dig my way down everytime! I did do it eventually but it was frustrating to deal with the healing pods there.

Him: "Korlok Tyrant-Weeds are very rare encounters." Me: "I wish."

Here are some tips I have for Tyrant-Weeds 1.If you are going to c4 the heart make a sort of elevated perch so everyone can shoot it more easily. 2. If there is crater where the heart is you can platform to allow other to melee it just make sure to go overzealous with the platforming if there is more c4 to throw on it. (You can also use it to allow for c4 to still be place near the heart even if there is a crater) 3. Use DoT effects to your advantage on sprouts this will help you not waste as much ammo. 4. Cyro is not good against the heart but very helpful against sprouts use it to support your team or make you secondary more efficient. 5. Gunners use ziplines as a quick escape down if the Heart is in high up. 6. This enemy resists explosive and electric damage and is weak to melee, ice, and fire. (Btw resistances are different between the sprout, heart, and healing pod but is generally accurate) 7. Try and rally your team before the heart opens so that you don't waste time and resources in the same phase.

The first Tyrant weed I had ever encountered got run over by Doretta and ceased to be. It took a couple of weeks before I saw another and got to find out what horrors I had missed.

I remember one time where an entire korlok weed system spawned on some floating islands, we nearly lost that game.

Fuck, I didn’t know about the rewards, I just killed it and left

As a gunner I usually run berserk, so my general approach to a Korlok is to stay close to it and pick off the sprouts and pods with the minigun to then throw as many power attacks as I can into it when it opens and unload a bulldog magazine into it before it closes.

Great guide! And I absolutely love the visuals and editing.

Thanks to this video (and my teammates, of course) I have finally beaten not one, but two of these! Thank you so much for making this video!

I had an escort mission where doretta just casually parked next to one of these for refuel.

Definitely Omen. I've seen Omens wipe a team more than anything else to the point where doing one feels a bit like a gamble.

bonus: u can drop a suply drop on it when it´s open it deals 1/3rd of its health as damage and you can jump over a stage when u time it well

As a begginer scout i have been in a cave with prospector and korolok, slayed them both, bosco had to rez me twice with porspector

The first mission that I was drunk in I found this thing and I killed it so fast that the healing pods couldn't even save it. Being drunk will soon be recognized by the meta, just you wait.

I haven't seen this yet but this is great to know. Thank you!

My first time experiencing this fight was the most fun I've had in this game everyone else was downed and I got an insta revieve on the gunner and we clutched through the end of the fight

I didn't know what that Space Cabbage was but boy did I beat it then smoke it.

Just discovered your channel and man is it qualitative. You Rock and you Stone.

Really appreciated your OMEN WALK THROUGH! THANKS FOR THE HELP!

Keep it up! Rock and Stone!!!

Me: *Showing my friends who are new to Deep Rock Galactic the ropes* Friend: “Hey what’s this?” *Gunshot* *Korlok Tyrant-Weed Health Bar Appears*

Damn straight dude! Please do more videos like this.

Bro, you are making the highest quality Deep Rock content on this platform. Idk what your life is like, but if you have the time, perhaps a quick, (lower effort) tips and tricks/build recommendations video for the epic deep dive every week would be sick. Also, the omen. My core group of friends tends to skip it rather than fighting it every time.

This channel is criminally under-viewed. I will do my small part to bring people here, especially if you continue to make videos of this caliber.

great video! one side note is that the drills on the driller are extremely good dps

supercooling chambers oc for the m1k makes really nice work of korloks

Wow, given the quality of your videos I’d expect your channel to have >50k subs! I’m new to the game and loving these. Keep it up!

Huh... Trenches and tunnels. and a fallback position. Good to know. The last time I fought a tyrant weed on a higher difficulty it took my team apart. We just couldn't co-ordinate.

Just doing my part and subbing up to all the drg tubers. Rock and Stone to the Bone!

I highly recommend using Nuk17 (as Scout) with explosive ammo overclock and auto reload perk, as reloading the gun makes the ammo you shot before explode in the enemy, always shoot it but don't hit the reload button, instead change your gun and wait till the perk kicks in (not reloading it manually thus not exploding), do it till you shot 4 whole magazines on the Korlok and then when it closes, hit the reload button, you might 1 shot the thing.

Your videos are really well done for such a small channel, glad to hear you’re working on new ones. Definitely do the Omen tower next, its always hard for newer players to understand the keys to complete that machine event, like avoiding heavy burster, targeting drones, and strats to stay away from the radial pulse gun.

Another quick tip if you can’t realiy on a gunner driller can shred the clam with his drills in about four “openings” with minimal healing by the healing pods

The three times ive ever seen these were in solo missions and the weeds were BELOW the clam

Great vid! Loved the animations and hitbox info in the beginning! Of the 3 bosses, I'd say Omen or BET-C. Omen is usually a rough time for most teams and even Greybeards respect the sheer killing power of a Haz 5 Bet-C.

Love your content, brother. Rock and Stone in the heart.

Hey! I'd love a vid on BET-C, I love your videos, for such a small channel the videos are of the highest quality, and congrats on 1k! Rock and Stone!

These videos are incredibly well put together, nice work man! Karl would approve. An Omen video would be really great, especially to share with my relatively greenbeard crew. Learning the intricacies of DRG is certainly fun, but I know there's always more I'm missing.

Sincerely, i have understood how to do OMEN in an easy way a week ago!😉😁 First step: the explorer have to be on the top of it, shooting down drones and weak points of the top level. Up there the only thing that can damage you are drones going towards you. But they aren't really much, 1/2... With that technique, you will destroy the upper top level very fast, without taking damage. Another way to go up there, it can be that you positionate yourself at the center of it, before it raises up. 👌👍 I hope that this advice can help you

Driller can actually do pretty effective damage on the heart clam with the power drills as well!

Driller can do an amazing job by freezing the sprouts. With good positioning and the aoe freeze he can shut down multiple at once, which makes the encounter woooo much easier.

Damn plant was right in the way of Doretta. We were not prepared.

i love these intros

just fought a korlok on escort duty haz 4, we had one spare restock left after the ommoran heart, and we had to use it wisely. after the fight no one had ANY ammo left, so it was a mad sprint straight towards the drop pod avoiding bugs- luckily i was scout and no one got downed during the getaway

Great video for a fun enemy! Now if only I could find them easier, there's this one specific room I've seen multiple times in the salt pits where I saw tons of roots but it felt impossible to find the main body. I think a video on omens sounds like a great idea!

Dude this is an excellent video. Please make more.

i know im later than january, but as a new player i would love more guides like these ^^

That was a great intro honestly.

Reporting back on this, resupply pods can also damage the Heart Clam when it is open. With enough timing and luck, you can turn a slog into a buffet. I’d probably label this as a last-resort or a gimmick, and I only had it successful once on Hazard 3, but considering the potential, I wouldn’t discount it.

This is amazing, continue with the omen

i remember having to deal with my first one just a few days ago, still early in game (JUST got my first promotion and got one.) the way it was placed made it EASY to kill, a wall next to it where i don't get shot at. killed it solo too

great editing bro really pro and good narration - keep on making videos! It'd be cool to see the Omen Modular Exterminator explored in a vid!

Good to see your some uploading quality ass content again

Definetly a cool video. Id like to have more videos about the bosses.

This was fantastic, I keep going back to press like to see I already have haha.

Picked up DRG about a week ago, and went in completely blind. My 1st encounter of the Korlok was in Dense Biozone, and where it was meant everything spawned on multiple levels so getting back to damage the core gave me less time to deal damage,I didn't know about the healing pod (since it spawned in a small coveree nook and didn't know to look for it) and it took me FOREVER. Then a Bulk Detonator started chasing me right after I finally killed it, so safe to say I hated these things until I learned that, while tough, I got super unlucky the 1st time

Korlok Tyrant Weeds will make even the most dedicated Juans shiver in their gardening boots.

This video will probably help in some capacity. For a video on which to make, I'd say BET-C or Omen. You fight Dreads so often there's basically no point.

Holy crap this quality is amazing

Great vid! ROCK N STONE!

teams of dwarves having trouble fighting these flowers meanwhile me one of the very few goblins working at drg taking them out alone

Once had an escort mission where Doretta drilled right through the clam and instantly killed it. Don't remember if we got the shards for the cheese kill or not, but it was a funny kill regardless

DO THEM ALL!!! Your videos are great

Really nice guide! I suggest you wait with the dread-video until AFTER next update drops though, unless you want to make multiple videos on the same subject :) Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

Interesting and informative, nice video.

Yes, do more videos! :)

Very good guide, although I would have liked to see three additional points in there. Driller's flamethrower and cryo cannon can negate the sprouts entirely - a frozen and flaming sprout cannot shoot back at all. A competent driller can make the difference in a Tyrant fight by keeping the sprouts frozen or on fire. An important tactical consideration is when to open a Tyrant weed. When it first spawns, it will open when you have killed three sprouts. So if you are having trouble with one or two sprouts, you can kill them and safely ignore the rest or come back to it later. It also makes it easy to coordinate your first opening volley on the clam. Finally, although it is exceedingly rare, you can use a bulk detonator to one shot a tyrant weed. Just kill two sprouts, get the bulk extremely low on health, and kite it over to the clam. Pop the last sprout then finish off the bulk before running like hell. It's difficult, but depending on your team, it can be easier and more ammo efficient than killing the weed normally. I've got about 5 of those kills in about 1200 hours.

I'd love to see more about Bet-C. I think of all the rarer events Bet-C has killed more of my runs than most.
