26:10 something worth noting for finding secrets: you'll see a pulsing ghost icon in the top right when you're near a secret. If you pull ghost out he'll turn to look in the direction of the secret. Oh, also, pulling out your ghost will reveal the hidden platforms you need in some of those secret areas.
[Edit: The Nether is awesome and solo with Crimson is great, totally agree. I was unlucky with my first run - big boss was the Tormentor in the bubble with healing Grims or something. But I still stand by forcing solos to play wipe mechanics to progress story is just stupid. The activity and area are fantastic and worth it.] I truly don't understand why Bungie forces the casual solo player through rogue-like punish failure mechanics for *storyline missions* - give me a chill option with less loot so I can enjoy the story and open other content. I'm seeing so many comments from casual solos bouncing off this mission. And they even call it "explore" mode. Unbelievable.
Hey yall I’m also a solo player but I’m more of a slayer, and dare I say a sweat. I recommend using the crimson (exotic hand cannon like mini red death) and a area denial grenade launcher (void is optimal but it doesn’t matter).
Agree with that. I made it to the final boss only to have him rip through my revives. All that time spent on a story mission for nothing. Waste of my time. I think I'll just skip this season and play something else.
Always a great step-by-step guide Ebontis, breaking down the season is very useful especially in complex ones like Heresy! One major mechanism that helps with finding secrets is your ghost. If you see the ghost icon in the top-right corner of the screen, it means you've still got secrets left to discover in the current arena. If you pull out your ghost, it'll face towards the closest undiscovered secret; follow it (if you hit a wall you may need to navigate around through tunnels/walkways/corridors to an adjacent area), and you'll eventually stumble across the start of the "path" to reveal the secret chest. If your ghost just faces you despite the ghost icon showing, then walk around the arena and periodically pull ghost out to see if it's latched on to a secret. Some secrets can only be reached by pulling out your ghost to scan to reveal hidden platforms, much like in the Kings Fall raid itself. Just pull out your ghost and look around as the blue-white scan line propagates outwards from your position over a couple of seconds. Any hidden platforms will show up as a bluish digital ghost object hanging in the air, getting very close to a hidden platform should materialize it. Finding and reactivating these secrets on every run will help progress the related triumphs in the seasonal title, and gives you more boons, currencies, and loot. Happy hunting!
Yes, the urns respawn also one quick add. When you get to certain points in the boss fights, he will spawn a couple of healer creatures. They usually glow white. Take them out as fast as you can, or the boss will start healing.
The Midnight encounters are the three main fights and the boss in each of the three rooms we go through. The bonus objectives that give extra buffs DON'T count. I highly recommend picking up Renewal Rune.
Hey E. i couldn't not share a few words here. This guide is one i am so pleased you found time to share with us. So firstly, thank you. As you know, i have recently returned to Destiny after a year away, on a completely new platform and effectively as a new player as i am not using cross save. I will be returning to this guide on numerous occasions once i reach a level i am comfortable engaging with the Nether activity (and after completing Lightfall and Final Shape campaigns.) As a solo gamer, ranged and cautious is how i tend to play, so this guide resonates very well with me. I really appreciate how much you explain. It helps an old man like me understand . As a warlock who largely relies on anything health related i found this activity rather daunting when hearing about it but by the time i am ready to engage with it i will be looking forward to the challenge. Thanks for being here.
Really insightful, Ebontis. I'd have never figured out that secret bit about leading the enemy to the worms and killing the knight. Thnx for your video.
This guide is NOT too long. You covered the bases and explained everything. I learned multiple things after already playing this for the past couple of days.
At 06:02 my brain checked out. It’s been a looooong decade playing Destiny. This might be the straw that breaks this camels back. It’s just so confusing now. Seems so complicated to me. I just used to start the mission, shoot some monsters and get the loot. What the hell happened? The plunder season was the last one I understood I think. The playing cards one with Eris was a washout for me. I never got through the activity as the other players did it so fast they just pulled me through rooms “joining Allies” and I had no idea what the hell was going on. Anyway. Thanks for the guide. I’ve been just wandering around the dreadnought wondering what to do.
Exactly, they've turned this game into a rogue like, souls like circus. With overturned damage sponges for enemies by listening to the elitist Destiny streamers and get gud crowd, instead of focusing on the majority of it's playerbase which are casual players. It's an annoying slog fest now with ridiculous mechanics for everything.
I couldn't wait for YOU to do this video!!! I've been sooo confused by the other ones I've watched. Especially the ones that only show fireteams doing the runs!!!
When fighting the subjugator, the little room you were in with the chest was actually the better choice. Easy to plink the minions running around, and the sunjugator himself will sit around the raised structure to the right. You can mostly hit him in the head, and he will pop out also. If you want to hit him with a super, just jump across and underneath the structure, then run back to the safe room if that doesn't do the trick.
If the Ghost icon is still visible in your HUD, it means there are secrets in the area waiting to be discovered. No ghost icon, you've found all the secrets for the area you're currently in.
Thanks for all the info. Well explained. My first take, I was not happy with the new stuff, but am getting used to it. As a solo, you do need to take it slow. I just didn't like being thrown into the thunder dome with a Tormentor and Friends for a group meeting if you know what I mean. I was also trying the new Trace rifle, which I am using wrong, or is not that great with my build. I think the urns re-spawn too. If you are really low do circle back and look .
Solo's weird. we're supposed to have something like x2 or x3 health, but i was getting 2 shot by the time I got to the second boss, and 1 shot on the 3rd round by the minibosses. lost basically all my lives to the shielded subjugator pair because they both just outright 1 shot me. when I was playing with a team they weren't doing nearly as much damage. wondering if maybe i grabbed a corrupted boon by mistake or something somewhere. also, the eyes. they're not _their_ line of sight, they're *your* line of sight. it doesn't matter if you're near them so long as you're not actually looking at them. you can even just stare at your feet if you need to stop it real quick and let it fade
Over complicated, this probably why I keep getting weasel. I gave up, only half way through the first part. I killed 2 big bosses and it only gave me one completion.
I started in a different area which I did not recognize from my times on the original Dreadnought and was somewhat disappointed but the area you started at was very familiar to me and is good to see back again..just saying! Like you said..lots of chests to grab and weapons to receive and that is why I'm here in the first place...show me the weapons baby!!😎👌
I suggest picking essentia ruin first if possible as destiny 2 is full of bugs, yesterday I got booted from the game entirely 5 times while playing exploration: private nether
Their tuning scares me a little. Is that to make solo better, or more in line with their original expectations. I'm really not digging the almost get one shot by invisible snipers as soon as adds come out thing.
What I've been finding when I was playing is when you beat bosses or minor bosses they drop little itty bitty black orbs I've been shooting those and they've been giving me the gold tickets or the Exotic tickets and also legendary ones and I've been picking up these weird symbols I don't know what they are but look out for those little black orbs laying on the ground,,
Thanks E! First run, I ran out of lives, but after watching vids and using healing weapons, I got through. Still don’t think it’s that solo friendly but Bungie seems not to like mediocre solo players. 😂
Might as well be in Chinese..More like what`s needed to finish your Master`s Degree than playing a video game. Thanks bungie..over 10 years in and all you do is try to make me quit this game.
If you're at the place I think you are you have to shoot those orange egg like bubbles. Shoot enough of them and ads will show up. Make sure you burst all of them
@@deanwalker38you boys have to use your ghost and look for the star , you probably have to go and shoot the brown balls when three or four explode enemies will load
Equip Crimson and maybe a GL with the unrelenting perk. Both will regenerate your health. Hit up, Nether Explorer, and go in solo. On my second run, I went flawless. Good luck 👍
Agreed, not impossible. But very very challenging. I got him to super low, I was on my last revive, thought I had him. We killed each other. He booped me off the edge and I killed him with a grenade…ugh.
The trick is to get to him with enough lives to give, so no matter what he does, hes fuxked. My last solo run,he was so anxious to stomp me out that he-got caught up in a pillar portal. He still continued to throw those void destructo disc.
@mrblack6439 what's ridiculous is that bolt he throws goes up down around corners and takes a 2/3 of your life.... Hardly seems fair since you can't regenerate life
Just a side note...causals are NOT going to have a good time in the solo Nether. Use the matchmade version for the story quest..."it's not that bad"...yes it is...man, streamers are out if touch with casual players Oh and equip Crimson
so you’re telling me i am REQUIRED to spend $15 in order to advance in my Guardian Rank? i’m quitting this game. it’s not about the money. it’s the fact that it’s forced.
..Break out the ratking for healing... updating.... red death nope heal clip nope healing rift an grenades nope BUT crimson suros kinda work Rat king is king yes it gives invisibility the catalyst gives FULL HEAL on reload
i spend more time looking for broken bosses that dont spawn and trying to figure out what i need to do than playing the game. imagine what a new player thinks, im a destiny beta vet. f all bungie devs they are terrible at their job

I agree. I'm a solo Warlock player. Healing rifts, I guess aren't any good here, so it's all about the strategy now.

just get good or just do the matchmade version. you get more loot and it’s easy. destiny players when they have to use 6% more effort

Holy crap! I did not realize those were Ghost Mods I was getting. Thanks for pointing that out! I haven't seen that info anywhere else yet.
Yes, the urns respawn also one quick add. When you get to certain points in the boss fights, he will spawn a couple of healer creatures. They usually glow white. Take them out as fast as you can, or the boss will start healing.
This is specifically for the Tormentor BTW.

The fleeting doesn’t change until you loot the chest after the boss, not after you kill it, per Bungie.
Is this something I’m going to have to repeat several times to see progress? So far I’ve done it 3 times and haven’t seen any progress.
The Runic Enhancement that shows you the weapons is not for EVERY chest. It’s only for the ones you have to spend currency to open.
I started in a different area which I did not recognize from my times on the original Dreadnought and was somewhat disappointed but the area you started at was very familiar to me and is good to see back again..just saying! Like you said..lots of chests to grab and weapons to receive and that is why I'm here in the first place...show me the weapons baby!!😎👌

Best guide thanks
Glad to help, take care out there Guardian.
Thanks. For the vid. Is there a DIM link for the build u used in this video ? Also trying do the “explore” version solo.
Use weapons with Unrelenting perk for health regen
How do you ascend the trenchway. Thanks
Use crimson hand cannon, it gives you health back with each kills.
Heard it's working but maybe isn't supposed to be. They are going to be tuning a lot of the healing stuff.
Their tuning scares me a little. Is that to make solo better, or more in line with their original expectations. I'm really not digging the almost get one shot by invisible snipers as soon as adds come out thing.
Crimson works, but I was getting zero weapon drops from chests, so it's a useless cause.
@@AncientAnomaly-r6m I've been getting a lot of weapon drops running solo, and only clearing one boss. Strange.
What unlocks the runic enhancement? I'm rank 4 and they still say that I can't unlock them.
thanks. very useful. 👍 do you have a link to the build?
Not yet, I can see about it but I’d imagine it’s not that optimized.
So, is the rune active when you see the (colored version) ?
cunning n scheeming is xivus' biggest strength but it's also her biggest weakness 'cause she can't do anything w/o tht cunning n scheming :)

You can fail to complete the 3 encounters when a boss you have to kill glitches into a wall, and it's over, no way to progress. Fun.
