Destiny Nightfall with 2 players, one dead, did we time out or did I run too far away?
We're quite the newbies when it comes to nightfall strikes in Destiny but we tried nevertheless.
It was the Nexus strike and we got so far as to get into the cavern hallway above the last boss.
While trying to get rid of the minotaurs down in the area below (where the main/last boss will spawn when we've taken care of the stragglers), the "anti-camp minotaur" spawned in the hallway behind us and managed to kill my partner.
I ran back up past him and managed to get back out of the cavern. We tried different attacks but I was unable to take down his shield. I ran out of special ammo and decided to run back to a previous area in order to see if ammo boxes was still lying around, waiting for my replenishment items to cool down.
While running through the caverns before this, the game ended us, kicking us back to orbit, as though we had both died.
My question is this: Why did this happen?
- Was it because my partner was dead too long?
- Was it because I ran too far away from my partner while he was dead?
- Was it some other limitation other than the two above that I cannot see?
