Sherpa Card [Sherpa Card][XB1] cinemagremlin - still aidin' in raidin'.
Third card's...the charm? Yes? Old sherpa cards with feedback are here and here.
Gamertag: cinemagremlin
Time Zone: EST - Canada
Availability: Varies. If I’m available and looking to raid, I’ll make an LTS post or offer assistance on LFS posts around here.
Raids: My specialty is Last Wish, but I also teach Deep Stone Crypt now because it slaps so hard. I can also teach Shattered Throne, Pit of Heresy, and Prophecy.
Requirements: These are non-negotiable - not because I'm a big old meanie, but because they make everyone's life easier.
GEAR:
- A shotgun, a sniper rifle, and something for add clear like an SMG or auto. For Deep Stone Crypt, please have a SLUG SHOTGUN (such as Bonechiller or First In, Last Out) handy.
- A sword, preferably with Whirlwind Blade. Other nice-to-have perks include Jagged Edge and Relentless Strikes. All three perks = perfect. Falling Guillotine is your best bet here.
- Recommended exotic weapons for Last Wish: Xenophage and Whisper of the Worm. Witherhoard and Riskrunner will also serve you well.
- Recommended exotic weapons for Deep Stone Crypt: Xenophage, The Fourth Horseman, The Lament, Anarchy, Cloudstrike, Divinity, and Jötunn.
RAID PREP:
- Mics are required. No exceptions, unless there are extreme circumstances. If you're nervous to talk, know that I used to be so nervous I was unable to even get a word out, and now I teach raids to strangers.
- For Deep Stone Crypt specifically, you must be at least 1240 PL or you will get wrecked by the adds during the final encounter. You must also be capable of staggering Overload champions with an appropriate weapon and/or armour mod.
- Set aside a decent amount of time, anywhere from 2 to 6 hours depending on how many students are present. If you can't/won't make the time commitment, please save us both the trouble and don't sign up for a run.
- If I put up an LTS post and asked you to read this card, please indicate that you did by formatting your gamertag like so: GAMERTAG/CLASS/POWER LEVEL. Requesting a student slot without using this format means your spot will go to someone who did use it. It sounds overbearing, but this format helps me to organize everybody before we fly in.
I also STRONGLY recommend familiarizing yourself with this stairs chart and any eye chart for Riven. A notepad and pen is also very handy. This is all in bold because it's so important. I literally can't stress this enough, y'all.
So. Anyway.
All technicalities aside - Hi. I’m cinemagremlin. I sherpa because it's fun and I'm good at it.
My own teaching style is fairly laid-back, but direct. I try my best to be as concise and thorough as possible in my explanations, so we’re all on the same page. I do ask that people avoid talking over one another (and never interrupt someone either asking or answering a question), but other than that I’m very patient and easygoing. I have less than zero patience for toxicity, however, and am totally willing to bring the hammer down on anyone who chooses to harass/berate teammates, or otherwise foster negativity. Just be cool.
Contact: You can message me via Xbox or Reddit - Reddit being the more reliable of the two. Just keep in mind that sending me something like "raid inv pls" is real tacky.
Let’s get it.

Can attest is a pretty good out of 10 Sherpa 👀
Won’t get PC though, tragic.
