One that I love is the Vault's wipe mechanic from Last Wish. The screen continuously gets brighter and brighter and you can hear it continuously charge up throughout the encounter, it gives the whole fight a sense of urgency and panic, of "oh shit we are all gonna die" and stuff.
Never actually got a good look at this wipe mechanic before. It just occurred to me while watching this that the explicator puts the planets into syzygy before wiping you. Syzygy is the name of the music for this encounter, and it refers to the alignment of three celestial bodies which is what happens here. Cool!
The Pleasure Gardens purging ritual. The sound of Calus locking the safe room and the immediate change of the atmosphere always sent chills down my spine.
Probably the missile barrage from spire of stars. Its the only one thats practical and not space magic or just one giant explosion and its very cabal like. When i was imagining a cabal raid i pictured the wipe mechanical just being a bunch of missiles from a ship
"it's the only one that's practical" Bro you ever fight the final boss in scourge? Homie shoots a giant beam in the sky that nukes the city as a wipe mechanic.
@@MajicMarcoBrother, Destiny is like late 2000's millennia to early 3000's millennia, I think it is practical given the circumstances from a gigantic mech (Pretty much a Metal Gear if you want to see it like that)
i wish there was a video that just had all the wipe mechanics from the raids so i could go back and see them all, especially for raids that are gone now
D1, Taken King, Oryx Encounter. Failure to detonate the respective bombs of corrupted Light, results with Oryx casting Doxology (the wipe mechanic). The sound building up as he summons the Darkness with his hands, as well as the light emanating from its claws, followed by that brief, full second of silence, and then explosion.
The boss battle music adds to this I think (not in vid) but when it starts ticking like your times up abs you look hopeful that it's correct it's so intense
My absolute fav is the crystal detonation from Argos phase 1. The gradual wind up of the bassy wub wub dubstep noise and the explosion is pure auditory sex
Obviously wasn’t out yet, but the witness enacting the final shape and seeing the screen go dark and everything just be silent, don’t think anything is going to beat that for me
The Witness has a great wipe technique that I couldn't even forget in the game and also the planet encounter is possibly the best that goes with the Witness
Crypt Security batteries exploding. It being coupled with the bittersweet theme of Security Breach always filled me with a mix of both dread and hope because not only was it tense but every wipe pushed you to try and do better next time. Reminds me a ton of the Hounds encounter from Leviathan (yes, I'm biased lol)
Is it crazy that the raid’s been out for this long but I’ve never wiped to this wipe mechanic. My team always just jumps off whenever we mess up and then just try and get it in one go lol
Skeletor: "No one was even helping me with the mechanic!" Random#1: "There was a mechanic? Did you know that big guy?" Random#2: "Honestly no, I don't even know why we wiped." Skeletor: "The fucking planets exploded!"
The 10 stacks of darkness from VoW is pretty good. Especially during rhulks final stand where he suffocates you leading to many many a close calls. However the best one is d1 oryx the difference between the new and old one is drastic and what originally felt like a cosmic dance where everyone needed to be on point now feels a lot more forgiving.
Always SIVA Density Critical, the sheer panic of it during vosik and the music make it fun every time
Yeah it's like a big bomb is about to go off
From D1 fr, in my opinion this one is better than the siva one, cuz nostalgia wont help this time
Insurrection Prime quite litteraly nuking the boss arena
*the entire Last City

Nice
Yeah the explicator shows you the correct format then kills you. music wise this is muffled
Nezarec but only in the jumping puzzle, the death wave has the coolest sound effects

i remember how that sounded, i wonder if it’s still even on yt because i remember the purge of soundtracks

@@JH-gu4hj Are nuke beams practical where you come from?

This and Insurrection Prime turning the sky into fire and possibly destroying the last city with it
i wish there was a video that just had all the wipe mechanics from the raids so i could go back and see them all, especially for raids that are gone now
The wrath of the machine ones when the splicer symbol flashes on your screen are so hard
Probably Extinction Protocol on Atraks, the panic of it is sublime

The Final Shape.
This one is my favorite too. At least I go out in a blaze of glory with clackety drums at my back.
Probably, Siva Density Critical from Wrath of the Machine.
I was like "well that doesn't look good" when I did this raid and proceeded to get vaporized
The new witness wipe mechanic

I love the funny RIP gravestone bells
G O N G
💀
half the time I expect the Undertaker to enter the stage lol
Has got to be the one that Argos or the Insurrectionist Mind does
the best part of this wipe is when the sounds get hella silent
Is it crazy that the raid’s been out for this long but I’ve never wiped to this wipe mechanic. My team always just jumps off whenever we mess up and then just try and get it in one go lol
I need more videos of showing off raid wipes
i like the vesper radiation personally
I like Visio’s the monitors going crazy as it happens is so cool to me also because aksis does the same thing
The subtle POW
Skeletor: "No one was even helping me with the mechanic!"
Random#1: "There was a mechanic? Did you know that big guy?"
Random#2: "Honestly no, I don't even know why we wiped."
Skeletor: "The fucking planets exploded!"
The totem from golgoroth figth
Definitely this one from the video. Best encounter, best boss, best music. Not the best raid tho (Vow is my favorite)
Siva Density Critical from Aksis

Grandeur of Morgeth
This one
I hate this one, i’ve seen it wayyyy to many times during contest
my favorite one is prolly T H E S L U D G E
The one from the 2nd encounter?
yup
I call that the poop wall
when the witner brings home the sludge
