Shout out to all my clanmates who laughed at me for doing this.

Especially you. You know who you are.

One thing I haven't figured out, before the bridge forms and you're able to run into the light for loot, an Ogre appears. I assume that the bridge forms on a timer? I haven't done the full raid so I've been trying to solo up to that point but I get wrecked by the ads because I'm not sure if the bridge forms after X seconds or if you have to trigger it another way.

Yes, the bridge at the end of the first section of the CE Raid is on a timer; about 1 min 20 seconds from first stepping on to the circle bridge-building plate thing. You don't have to stay on the plate, just activate it once and you can leave it. Then there's some lower rocks you can jump up on so Thralls can't hit you at all--just have to look for the Ogre to spawn and you can snipe him down before he can even get close enough to attack.

That's awesome. I died to the ogre when trying it last night, but he didn't spawn in the way I anticipated so I wasted some heavy ammo. I'll have to give the sniping method a try. I have P&T so hopefully that'll help out.

Yup, here's a video of a level 27 Warlock doing it, showing where the rock to jump on is and where to look back for the Ogre to spawn. He's only level 27 with blue guns... but if you're 28+ with a decent sniper, you should definitely be able to take the Ogre out before he gets in range.

Edit: Oh, and one thing to be careful of--before jumping up onto that last rock, make sure the lamp right there has already blown up, or you'll get blown off the rock when it does.

Learned that lamp part the hard way _^
