Remember when everyone was struggling just to get world's first on this with a fireteam of 6? And you're just like "Yeah, I'll solo it in just over 16 minutes. No big deal."
Just awesome. Thanks for posting! Edit: Still in awe minutes after watching this run and reading your description. Pretty damn impressive! And to think, if you hadn't made a few small "mistakes" here and there, this run would likely have been under 16 minutes!
I liked the vid just for the smiley face at the beginning, not to mention a great actual video of you soloing the raid and making it look easy. Keep up the awesome work, I just started watching your streams recently too.
God my raid team needs to study your videos. I've been improving because of you. Today's lesson was MUCH appreciated. I wish you could do a how to video. Though Bungie would probably nerf our abilities after it's caught on again. Respect to the skills man.
Nice!! I saw u on stream man... Didn't realize how much effort u actually have to put into this. U make it look easy... Hope to see u streaming more often.☺
Poshu Ng Yeah, I definitely have my share of screw ups. I get sloppy after things don't work out for an hour or so, but to put out videos that are really worth showing people, I have to make it good enough that it won't be beaten first try by just anyone haha.
hwoody02 I solo'd it without Gally because obviously not every one has it I actually got to crota but I couldn't kill him BUT!! I JUST GOT GALLY FROM GORGON CHEST SO CROTA SAY GOODBYE!!
I'm very impressed by how fast you can clear the place! Damn nice! ((As a 360 user, I'm also super jealous of how fast you can pop into your menu to swap gear around.))
Maginot Sphere yep after all the time I wasted trying to triple jump across (before I knew about landing on the little cliffs on the other side).. fml o__o at least we know for the future
Damn I just noticed something, at 16:10 that air swipe you do with the sword deals damage even though you're very far away and that is the reason you killed him as I counted only 11 R2's. Normal mode Crota requires 12 RT's or 11 RT's and one RB to kill. Did you know that midair and does the sword usually do damage from that far out? I've never noticed it happening from that distance.
They probably nerfed him already. i was playing with a friend once over the mic and he was lvl 30 using a maxed ice breaker and i was my lvl 32 also using my maxed ice breaker anyway he was reading his precision damage number to me and i noticed that his where higher than mine, there was no weapons of light or anything like that for him to be doing more damage so i honestly want to know wtf!
I know you hate warlocks, but I'd love to see you try to get the best time as one (maybe arpacans?) as I don't think there are as experienced (read: badass) PvE, much less experienced warlocks, as you yourself.... The legend.
Awesome gameplay... As usual!! I wonder if it's nessesary to kill mobs after activating the crystal for Crota fight, or if you might as well just jump past them, going for Crota. It could be a place to save time?
You have the patience of a god to take the time to perfect this, and your skills are getting close to god-tier too :) My only criticism is you played it a bit too safe with the second ogre considering this was normal and a speed run. You could have saved a decent amount of time if you'd been more aggressive, especially if you'd used Gjallarhorn
this is really awesome, thanks for sharing. i can really tell the practice and discipline you put into this task. just wondering what you use on your black hammer? was it flared magwell instead of perfect balance, because some of those reloads were crazy quick. thanks
Sam S you can do it with all three classes and actually the hunter is the hardest imo. Adjust your subclass to have maximum agility and hold a weapon that grants +2 agility (e.g ice breaker, abyss defiant, mida, etc)
Sam S I can't say for certain if this is true, the advantage bladedancer has over voidwalker in terms of agility is pretty dang small, but it might not be possible as a warlock. I would have to test, but my assumption is that it is possible.
When you are at crota is it possible to switch the order of how you down him? Like still start with golden gun, then do gjallarhorn instead, then finish with the throwing knife DOT so as its ticking you can run up closer and get more hits per down? just a thought, you are the master
Nice Video. Also really helpful as a guide to solo Crota. I was just wondering if you could please post the gunslinger build you used on crota himself? Thank you.
hey sc_Slayerage couldn't you solo hard crota using the method that you used with the golden gun and throwing knife w/ gally? cuz i noticed you got your super back before the second sword.
I got a 22 minute run today, and I'm so annoyed at myself because I didn't stuff up the deathsinger, I didn't stuff up crota, I died 3 TIMES at the bridge and once in the shreiker tunnel. I have only been trying to speed run this for a week now, so I feel like if I keep at it I could get a MUCH better time. However I doubt I'll ever get a time under 17 mins.
I dont understand how you passed the second bridge (well, 3rd if you count the one before the abyss) cuz i counted blinks.. but i can do only one while in the air with my hunter....
Yo slayerage can you make a video or something on how you crossed the bridge with blink? I know how to jump across on the the left side with triple jump but using blink looks alot cooler lol
Have you tried this since March 23rd? I am trying this now on a 31 Bladedancer with maxed agility, blink, and +2 on murmur and the wall is clearly a body length above me. no matter where i set my cursor before i initiate blink jump, i am a good 5-6 feet below the wall. I am on PS4.
The Legend Himself, how did you get across the bridge that way, I tried several times last night after seeing you do it but when I blink, it just falls downward each time...
if you are a Titan you can get on the rock just like back before the patch, set everything to speed upgrades, carry the weapon you have with the agility +2 perk and sit by light till darkness lv is gone, then run forward and jump and fly and you can get up there just fine :D If you want to see proof how to do it, my twitch runs in my history will show you
Noticed you were using words of crota but man, i need to do the hard mode of this for the necrocasm quest :( At least now I know what the raid is like, it's just like the quest mission eris had us do to get involving crota soul :)
So I try to solo the bridge but every time I kill the right ogre, the totems activate. Half the time I don't kill the gatekeeper. Does it matter or am I to slow?
You should do a video each week of you doing the nightfall solo speed run. I am trying to get a better speed run of this week's. I've got it down to 15.04 but need it less so I can actually upload it, cause I just use play station record thingo.
Yo you are a really good player, i'm so curios to see if your clan J4k can beat the world record hard mode crota's end (14,42) :D and i'm curios to see all you guys play together!!! Show us some crazy skills!!!
Silas Bundrock I don't think radiance increases damage output, I could be totally wrong. I think he popped radiance just for the increased grenade cooldowns.
I don't get how you're doing the skip so consistently at the start, i get it maybe 1 in 20 tries, sure i dont have the primary but i have a lightweight weapon and i'm angling the exact same as whats in the video
While crossing the bridge with the sword please explain how you pulled of multiple blink jumps that was quite impressive and I really want to try that it looks a lot easier then the left and right rocks.
JonnyOne I didn't actually. I just had the recording on my computer and I don't know how relevant the commentary was at that point. I might do a video with commentary if people on my stream repeatedly remind me that they actually prefer that, but we'll see.
"Hey you wanna join me for some Crucible?"
"Yeah just give me 15 minutes, I'm gonna beat the raid quick."
more like give me 7+ hours to get it perfectly..
Equilibrium Gamer more like "crucible sucks, no."
more like 12 minutes.
this was so impressive, i forgot to eat while watching this, and now all i got is cold chicken
DatAndre It got cold that fast? Looks like I need to work on my speed, dang.
+The Legend Himself, haha lol
The Legend Himself I like how you always die at the end haha 😂😂
its normal no one cares.
lol ok you go do this
"Raids will take up to 4 hours" - Bungie 2014
"UP TO"
J Stewart It took us around that time on our first try on VOG.
who the hell has 4 hours of time to do 1 raid? were they dumb?
Remember when everyone was struggling just to get world's first on this with a fireteam of 6? And you're just like "Yeah, I'll solo it in just over 16 minutes. No big deal."
but back then nobody had as much practice as he has now...-_-

Most everyone was level 30 back then with the occasional 31 who had a ton of bounties ready to level gear.
Just awesome. Thanks for posting!

you still are a beast and never cease to amaze me
i have the pleasure to see you doing this, awesome!
It still ceases to amaze me how you beat your records over and over again props to you sir keep doing what you're doing :)
When I saw that you posted a video I teared up and said hallelujah
For people like me go suffers to get a team this is GOLD. My pal and I are going to put some of your strat to the test. Great work!
That was a fancy move on the bridge, never seen anything like that. This is by far the best Crota normal run I've ever seen
@thelegendhimself
Ive seen pretty much all of your vidoes and I am here to say you really do deserve more credit and publicity! Great job man.
Amazing. I am learning alot from watching your vids. Please keep them coming, I look forward to your next offering!
Ok, this is better than my "surfing on the sparrow" idea for your next video :) Good job mate!
You are very special regardless of what you said in the description box at least you keep trying to improve yourself, and this is special :)
Seeing this live was awesome
Yeah, it just needs a facecam
Does he have a twitch or something I want to watch things live too especially this epic guy

Unreal as always. Might I ask what emblem you're rocking?
Nice!! I saw u on stream man... Didn't realize how much effort u actually have to put into this. U make it look easy... Hope to see u streaming more often.☺

I used ur video to complete the raid solo thank you so much
I'm going to try to solo the raid without a gjallarhorn and it's going to fail miserably
As a 31 :(
hwoody02 I solo'd it without Gally because obviously not every one has it I actually got to crota but I couldn't kill him BUT!! I JUST GOT GALLY FROM GORGON CHEST SO CROTA SAY GOODBYE!!
Oh mah gawd. Frikkin crazy dude. I really want that black hammer man
I'm very impressed by how fast you can clear the place! Damn nice! ((As a 360 user, I'm also super jealous of how fast you can pop into your menu to swap gear around.))
you are literally a god
Just INSANE. I spent 2 hours today trying to beat this in 6...and we failed. Ok, I suck, but still DUUUUUDE, all this SOLO?!?!? congrats!
Everytime u play u inspire me.thank you
you my man not just a legend you are the legend that was truly amazing
Damn dude awesome run!
Awesome as always.
The Legend Himself wait the blink gets jumps In mid air?
***** well I'll be damned
Maginot Sphere yep after all the time I wasted trying to triple jump across (before I knew about landing on the little cliffs on the other side).. fml o__o at least we know for the future
your the legend, I am convinced your the best destiny player.
Damn I just noticed something, at 16:10 that air swipe you do with the sword deals damage even though you're very far away and that is the reason you killed him as I counted only 11 R2's. Normal mode Crota requires 12 RT's or 11 RT's and one RB to kill. Did you know that midair and does the sword usually do damage from that far out? I've never noticed it happening from that distance.
Bungie should really nerf this guy, he's to op lol
lol
dont be jealous bro if u push ur self harder u can be like him or better
yousef mohammef how is he being jealous? Lol
Bungie should buff this joke ... It's bad
They probably nerfed him already. i was playing with a friend once over the mic and he was lvl 30 using a maxed ice breaker and i was my lvl 32 also using my maxed ice breaker anyway he was reading his precision damage number to me and i noticed that his where higher than mine, there was no weapons of light or anything like that for him to be doing more damage so i honestly want to know wtf!
The bridge section was awesome!
this guy deserves that youtube title fking hell 16 mins solo!!
I know you hate warlocks, but I'd love to see you try to get the best time as one (maybe arpacans?) as I don't think there are as experienced (read: badass) PvE, much less experienced warlocks, as you yourself.... The legend.
Awesome gameplay... As usual!!
I wonder if it's nessesary to kill mobs after activating the crystal for Crota fight, or if you might as well just jump past them, going for Crota. It could be a place to save time?
At 4:55 while crossing the bridge, how did you blink jump 3 times?
You have the patience of a god to take the time to perfect this, and your skills are getting close to god-tier too :)
My only criticism is you played it a bit too safe with the second ogre considering this was normal and a speed run. You could have saved a decent amount of time if you'd been more aggressive, especially if you'd used Gjallarhorn
Just soloed the raid in 31 minutes and then I see this :P. Nice work by the way!
You just earned yourself another subscriber. That was some cool shit.
this is really awesome, thanks for sharing. i can really tell the practice and discipline you put into this task. just wondering what you use on your black hammer? was it flared magwell instead of perfect balance, because some of those reloads were crazy quick. thanks
Its a perk for hunters called chain of woe. Precision kills increase reload speed for a short time. Stacks 3 times
Using that black hammer you got by defeating crota with your spinning sparrow? Nice.
How did you use multiple blink jumps without touching ground when you were crossing the bridge?
How do you do that jump at the abyss part, ive tried 30 times easily now with a blink warlock
A hunter has more agility
Warlock doesn't have enough agility would be my best guess. I know you need agility as high as possible to get on there in the first place with blink.
Sam S you can do it with all three classes and actually the hunter is the hardest imo. Adjust your subclass to have maximum agility and hold a weapon that grants +2 agility (e.g ice breaker, abyss defiant, mida, etc)
Cylindroid HR I have seen it done with all classes but using blink I'm pretty sure you need max agility.
Sam S I can't say for certain if this is true, the advantage bladedancer has over voidwalker in terms of agility is pretty dang small, but it might not be possible as a warlock. I would have to test, but my assumption is that it is possible.
OMG I love your cape on of the main reasons I'll make a hunter
Most fire teams have trouble doing this In 1 1/2 hour. Good job dude earned my respect
lol wut? my group does hard in a total of an hour, only 1-2 gallys (depending on our 6th) we do normal super fast unless were fuckin around
most fireteams are randoms put together lol
2910 grimoire ! You sir are a beast.
I wish I could do a raid with you some time, but im on PS3. (btw your the best hunter I've seen on youtube.) Amazing time dude!
Do you have any plans when you will stream? or just randomly couple times a week when you feel like it?
When you are at crota is it possible to switch the order of how you down him? Like still start with golden gun, then do gjallarhorn instead, then finish with the throwing knife DOT so as its ticking you can run up closer and get more hits per down? just a thought, you are the master
I see you used the blink bridge technique that was on reddit yesterday.
Nice Video. Also really helpful as a guide to solo Crota. I was just wondering if you could please post the gunslinger build you used on crota himself? Thank you.
hey sc_Slayerage couldn't you solo hard crota using the method that you used with the golden gun and throwing knife w/ gally? cuz i noticed you got your super back before the second sword.
3:04, top left corner, what hand cannon is that?? (the one above word of crota)
Timurs lash
How does he blink 3 times at the abyss part?
This is the ORIGINAL LEGEND.
I got a 22 minute run today, and I'm so annoyed at myself because I didn't stuff up the deathsinger, I didn't stuff up crota, I died 3 TIMES at the bridge and once in the shreiker tunnel. I have only been trying to speed run this for a week now, so I feel like if I keep at it I could get a MUCH better time. However I doubt I'll ever get a time under 17 mins.
That jump you made at the bridge section,is it doable with a warlock?
Starts video by shooting a smiley into the wall, this is gonna be great
Seeing this live makes me want to solo crota... Imma try it sometime.
I tried doing step by step from your Video, but I didn't get any raid gear for any of the mission I did and I made it up to Crota :(
I dont understand how you passed the second bridge (well, 3rd if you count the one before the abyss) cuz i counted blinks.. but i can do only one while in the air with my hunter....
Yo slayerage can you make a video or something on how you crossed the bridge with blink? I know how to jump across on the the left side with triple jump but using blink looks alot cooler lol
Correct me if I am wrong, But did you do 4 slams each time with 3 downs for a total of 12 hits to kill him?
Have you tried this since March 23rd? I am trying this now on a 31 Bladedancer with maxed agility, blink, and +2 on murmur and the wall is clearly a body length above me. no matter where i set my cursor before i initiate blink jump, i am a good 5-6 feet below the wall. I am on PS4.
Awww you were streaming? I wish I could've watched
You good sir are amazeballs.
The Legend Himself, how did you get across the bridge that way, I tried several times last night after seeing you do it but when I blink, it just falls downward each time...
What's the song when you are going to pass the 1st bridge after the abyss ? It's sounds awesome.
how the hell did you get over that wall on the abyss partb
Blink and excellent timing. I've only gotten it once after many many attempts.
if you are a Titan you can get on the rock just like back before the patch, set everything to speed upgrades, carry the weapon you have with the agility +2 perk and sit by light till darkness lv is gone, then run forward and jump and fly and you can get up there just fine :D If you want to see proof how to do it, my twitch runs in my history will show you
ryan brothwell (PNG_Emperor)
ryan brothwell i do this but using blink and then a super good timing is key, but he didn't use super so il have to try without :P
Noticed you were using words of crota but man, i need to do the hard mode of this for the necrocasm quest :(
At least now I know what the raid is like, it's just like the quest mission eris had us do to get involving crota soul :)
So I try to solo the bridge but every time I kill the right ogre, the totems activate.
Half the time I don't kill the gatekeeper.
Does it matter or am I to slow?
Damn, this is faster than most team speedruns!
I watched the stream this morning :)
You should do a video each week of you doing the nightfall solo speed run.
I am trying to get a better speed run of this week's. I've got it down to 15.04 but need it less so I can actually upload it, cause I just use play station record thingo.
Yet again you amaze😁😈😁
didn't know the blink bridge jump
how can you blink more than once in the bridge jump??
Ahhh the good ole days when Blackhammer was at exotic level and Ghorn was as hard as finding a needle in a haystack. Good times.
Yo you are a really good player, i'm so curios to see if your clan J4k can beat the world record hard mode crota's end (14,42) :D and i'm curios to see all you guys play together!!! Show us some crazy skills!!!
You wrote in the description that a warlock can do a single sword Crota kill. How? Also, awesome video, yet again. :D
Because of radiance.
Skers1 th-cam.com/video/AKtB-ZYGdAw/w-d-xo.html
The Legend Himself So by popping radiance during the first sword hits, he gets enough damage on Crota to down him in one full cycle?
Silas Bundrock I don't think radiance increases damage output, I could be totally wrong. I think he popped radiance just for the increased grenade cooldowns.
I don't get how you're doing the skip so consistently at the start, i get it maybe 1 in 20 tries, sure i dont have the primary but i have a lightweight weapon and i'm angling the exact same as whats in the video
Better than your 12:11 Run in my opinion, you didnt "show off" 1 swording him and stuff.
While crossing the bridge with the sword please explain how you pulled of multiple blink jumps that was quite impressive and I really want to try that it looks a lot easier then the left and right rocks.
Blink has a cool down you can use it many times before hitting the ground if its a long fall see the VoG gorgon entrance.
Why did you cut out your commentary?
JonnyOne I didn't actually. I just had the recording on my computer and I don't know how relevant the commentary was at that point. I might do a video with commentary if people on my stream repeatedly remind me that they actually prefer that, but we'll see.
takes my 16 minutes just to do the first section XD gg mate
What shader was that? Revenent? Hanged Man?
Is it possible to get over the bridge with a warlock teleport ?
what is your buttons layout ?
How is your channel so popular so quick?
I didn't know it was possible to use Blink on that ledge!
You can take Crota down with just 2 ghorn shots?
how did he blink multiple times at the bridge??
What sniper were you using?
Wo ur tellin me u can pick up ammo by shooting it????
What console are you on?
Tarek El Saabi Xbone
Lol :)
ps see the buttons
Hey the legend himself do you have a little brother named Gustavo
How'd you get that logo? I really want it.
Will you ever do a commentary?
That reload speed looks scary
