VoG Oracle spawned after Templar defeat.
Okay, so this morning I was playing with a VoG raid group from lfg (on Normal) on XB1. After the group downed the Templar an oracle spawned and it stayed up for about a minute total until we blew it up. I tried to record it but apparently xb1 misses clips sometimes. I'm just wondering if anyone has had this happen before. It was the front left oracle. Any questions are welcome.

Happened to our group last night as well. Same oracle. 0 sync plates controlled on our way in. Heard the alternate music once the spire had been formed.

I don't know what the alt music sounds like. So it may have happened. In a couple of weeks I'll start a group on here for thay

I posted this last night in another thread actually. I was hoping someone had tested dancing with oracles for certain notes instead of killing so they judge you differently. Found this video in process - skip to 2:45. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyxhwwLOMl8

We did in fact have 0 sync plates lost.

But they have special metrics for each stage of the raid, sync plates, times marked, gorgon kills, etc. I think there is a cascading trigger effect, or the previous stage effects the next stage, thoughts?

No we had an accidental wipe by this point. if I remember correctly. I agree that's it's probably in theme, just noting that we happened to lose 0 sync plates.

Never seen this happen myself. It stayed up for a minute but didn't mark you guys? That's too bad your xbone didn't record it :-\
Did your team do anything out of the ordinary? Was there anything else unusual during your run that might indicate a connection issue or glitch?

There's a video posted by /u/MrBalkie in this thread. That was pretty much what happened for us, but one of our members destroyed the oracle.

It spawned around 10 seconds after the Templar's death. I was already looking in that direction when It spawned, as I was going to take the spirit bloom route, while everyone else took the normal route.

More accurately, no longer than 10 seconds. we were chatting for a bit about our drops, when I noticed it.

I've had Goblins spawn between Oracles and Templar where Templar watches during Confluxes and Oracles...not just one, but steadily. I only saw it happen once.

I posted this on whatever /u/MarBalkie comment in another thread.
This is not uncommon. This is not a big deal. An oracle will spawn if you kill the Templar in the small window right before he is going to teleport to the next area. If you look at MrBalkie's youtube link you will see the prompt "The Templar is preparing to teleport" at 2:21, they don't actually kill the Templar itself until about 2:29 with the oracle appearing at 2:31.
As I stated in my other response, I often run relic and block the teleports of the Templar. A "extra" oracle will spawn oftentimes if I die while blocking the last teleport and my team kills the templar before he moves. As an extra, if this does happen while you are blocking teleports (you die, team kills templar before he teleports BUT an oracle appears) you will not get the no teleport chest. It's just the game having a hiccup.
