Compared to every 10min "Complete/full GOTD guide" that came out same day as the dungeon, this is one of the few that actually feels like a complete guide. Always appreciated these, and have definitely finished solos because of them.
Excellent detail in this vid, like you've done in so many others. Thank you for all of your time. You mention a discord, but I don't see a link. Any idea why my paths are all red and NOT green?
That restoration is insane. I'm a hunter main though I don't trust my jumps on a titan enough to go for a flawless. I'll probably go invis. But man maybe I should start practicing on my titan more 🤔
Your guides are truly among the very best there are. This one being a year old, and because so much has changed, would it be possible to do an updated solo guide with prismatic characters?
Well done I looked at a few how to do and was still lost until I came across yours. Automatically hit subscribed, thanks for making this dungeon understandable
I love all our dif callouts lol me and my friend call ice cream cone mountain, and yea gooooo!! But just how many names people use!!! Great video dude!!!!!!! Explains everything!
To plan out the second encounter as long as you don’t step on the alter where the hive are praying you can effectively walk all around it, and in the water zoned area. But as soon as you step on the puddle of water where the hive knight spawns, you start the encounter
You can do it! Practice, practice, practice. But most importantly, remember that solo dungeons are a marathon (no pun intended) not a sprint. Pace yourself, take your time. I didn’t think I could do them either, but I’m 4 for 7 on dungeons solo flawless. I just need Duality, Spire and now Ghosts. Edit: Math. I’ve done 4 dungeons not 3: ST, Pit, Prophecy, Grasp.
A solar build with ember of searing and ember of mercy, which gives you firesprites that grant restoration, is good for solo players along with 'better already' and 'recuperation' adds to Lorelay Splendour. Gunwise, i used 'until its return' (new season rapid shotgun mine has overflow roll so i get 16 rounds a magazine), 'jurassic green' pulse with incandescent, and lastly i used 'Xenophage' to 1-shot the wizards at range and pound the ogres or 'Gjallarhorn' is good for clearing the acolytes and their bloody grenades. Any rocket launcher or wave frame special grenade launcher is worth a shout for clear the acolytes around the lucent hive as being swamped is the main danger for me on the 1st encounter
If they nerf the health(for solo players) I will continue this dungeon but for now, I keep my 10/12 ghosts there. Thank you for this video, gonna be helpful later on.
Hey EBontis, I thought I would ask here. Is Bungie keeping this non grinding and non light leveling in the game. I actually like it, I'm hoping you know something about this. It's nice not having to play certain game modes for pinnincle. Thanks!
I have just watched a stream where 3 more than decent players took nearly four hours to complete this. A lot of players play solo out of choice. End game stuff is now outside of the average solo player’s compass. One shots, infinite ads, and “killed by the architects” are starting to turn people off. Congratulations on completing this but it is limited to single figures precent solo.
@@JBinFL what power growth? Most started at the old hard cap. So you grind 400 so by week 10/11. What will we be? 1830? The game needs to be enjoyable and challenging in equal measure. Unless you have a well endowed team of chums at your disposal it isn’t. I’ll still play as usual but if dungeons get too far out of solo capabilities it makes little sense.
Unless you mean blind playthrough 3 more than decent players are not taking that long. My solo was just over 2 hours. Never once one shot/ never once killed by architects
@@iangelling See I disagree with this thinking straight off the bat. The reason end-game content exists, is because there was a lack of challenging content for co-operative team work. There is simply no way to make that kind of content "easier" for solo players. Point in fact, if you can find a way to build craft in a way that makes solo play of at least Dungeon content possible, more power to you. Most solo players who do these seemingly impossible feats, enjoy spending hours upon hours tweaking their builds and strategies to maximise their performance. If that's not something you are willing to do, then yes, Soloing end-game content may not be for you.
I have much respect for anyone who has done this whole thing solo. Idk what I'm doing wrong but Ecthar is extremely aggressive when I personally try it. As soon as I dump the third vestige he is UP on the platform clapping me into the wall before I even get to go face the knight to get the shield breaker. I've never seen him chase anyone UP ON the platform before..... like the boss is spawning in and chasing me down BEFORE the Knight even arrives..... he literally stood in one place for u doing nothing lmaoooo and no ads around messing up your DPS smh
Same thing happens to me. He’s usually getting in my face and I’m like “Dude get out of my way, I’m busy!” And once the knight was nowhere to be found that you have to kill before you can break the shield.
I have witnessed the same as you. I can't beat him. In fact, I seldom can even get past his shield. He is always right on top of me, as he is unbelievably quick.
Any ideas or news on what’s causing the soft lock when this method (getting all nodes of the triangle ready before grabbing vestige buffs) is used rather than ready one node and then getting the buff to complete each node one at a time?
We revealed all of our runes before getting our Vestiges of light buffs "simultaneously" without problem (multiple time) How does the soft lock manifest?
@@DavidManser That’s what I was asking. If it had been figured out yet. My team soft locked each and every time we did all runes before getting buffs. The only way it worked for us was to do one at a time.
I solo’d most of it. I need better weapons for dps on the boss. But I can def do it. I think I should try the lament for the second boss. Maybe the sleeper for the last one. I don’t have the Xenophage yet or I’d try that. I have a good hunter build so I’m good there. I already got the exotic and catalyst but it would be cool to solo it.
Not sure if you are aware. But you can legit just fall down to any of those ledges. Fall Damage is NOW "non-lethal". Also after the first encounter you can use your Sparrow - Instead of running the entire way.
watching this after finishing my first ever solo dungeon in general.....dunno why I thought this should have been my first solo dungeon completion but anyway. For hunter use arc with liars or assasins cowl and use a briars contempt for final boss
I went in blind without watching any videos, I killed the two dudes at the gate then just waited there killings ads for 30 mins waiting for something to happen 😂😂
So far can't complete the first encounter have been as far as the last symbol but the enemy population is too thick and the damn wizard just hides i run out if time
If the recommended build and weapons don’t work, switch to something else and try what works for you. I had to do that myself. I probably died 15-20 times just to get through the first part. The second phase of it, I had to put the controller down because I’d been at it for several hours and dying many times before I was even able to do boss damage. But I know I can get back to it at another time. I promise, dedicate the time to beating this and something inside you will become free and it will feel like a weight has been lifted
The solo experience is absolutely insane. I two manned it, me being a sunbracer warlock spamming solar grenades up top while my friend did the ruins and it took us four damage phases cause he kept suppressing us. Bungie needs to nerf this, no one should ever spend 3 hrs or more doing one activity for a simple title. The final boss solo is almost impossible
It is amazing how much easier this is with Titan than Warlock. The Hammer throw with heal is amazing. With a Warlock you can use Karsteins Armlets but then you are stuck using a glaive. Be that as it may, this is the worse solo Dungeon I've ever played, and I've beat them all, other than this one, solo.
Amazing how so much of this is just jumping and falling through essentially nothing. This is one thing I really hate about Destiny 2: every damn environment is built upon a bottomless abyss. It just feels like a lazy, cheap and easy way for Bungie to make the game artificially more difficult, and consequently require more playtime.
Compared to every 10min "Complete/full GOTD guide" that came out same day as the dungeon, this is one of the few that actually feels like a complete guide. Always appreciated these, and have definitely finished solos because of them.
Ebontis is pretty much my go to on anything D2 whether it’s solo or whatever
Exactly why I’m here. I get it that they want guides out first but really appreciate this thorough walk through. Ebontis is awesome.
With each dungeon release I patiently await this video from you before I start going for the solo flawless. Thanks bruv.
🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘🤘💚💚
Yep, same here!
you have the most in depth (no pun intended) guides out there! thank you for always breaking it down so meticulously
Excellent Guide! Super thorough and worded in a way that is understandable and relatable! Fantastic work as always
As per usual... top notch video and extremely helpful!! Also I watched this live on twitch and Ebontis is super chill and great to hang out with.

was legit waiting for this, you're the best for these guides man!
Got my solo completion today thanks to your guide . I don't know what it is with taipan but I was able to hit crits whilst getting mauled by thralls .
Well done I looked at a few how to do and was still lost until I came across yours. Automatically hit subscribed, thanks for making this dungeon understandable
This is great! Thanks so much! Like the purposeful explanations
I love all our dif callouts lol me and my friend call ice cream cone mountain, and yea gooooo!! But just how many names people use!!!
Great video dude!!!!!!! Explains everything!
without viewing the video: " I bet the longest timestamp is the final boss"
viewing the video: " Yep."
To plan out the second encounter as long as you don’t step on the alter where the hive are praying you can effectively walk all around it, and in the water zoned area. But as soon as you step on the puddle of water where the hive knight spawns, you start the encounter
Not sure if you already know this but there is another hidden chest above the ogre at the 1:01:00 mark.
I'm exhausted just watching that, no way am I ever gonna be able to do it myself.

It gets waaaay easier with doing it a lot. Going for my flawless solo tomorrow
@@currentlyvibing9916 same. I'm gonna go for it tomorrow as well
I'm gonna run bonk with syntho. Tractor for first boss
i watched a lot of videos about raids and dungeons. but instead of preparing me it just disillusioned me. no way i can do that even in a group
Best guide! Thorough explanation.
Thanks for the guide
Great video bud!!!
😂😂😂😂 I was waiting for you guide so I do my dungeon. Thanks

Hunter build:
Gyrfalcons Hauberk
Stylish Execution & Vanishing Step & expulsion(void explosions) and instability (volatile rounds)
The other half, falling guillotine, lament
Volatile Sword go brrr
its dififcult ebontis, too difficult
What is your Hunter build like . what are you using for armor and Weapons
Maybe I missed it but what was your arc fragments and aspects n such?
Love the advert
Very special video bro thank you very much
Thank you!
About to do it now with a hunter
Drip is on point man

glad i watched, but no way I'm doing this solo nor talking my roommate into helping.

Early in the season maybe, but it'll be entirely doable with some power growth as the season goes on.

@ebontis what red/black shader is that ?
Do i keep the memory frags at cps? Or do i needntp do it in one continuious run?

That sounds so odd because his behavior is usually very consistent for me, BUT Destiny has it's odd moments for sure.

Shared with the homies.

Also. NO WAY THE ARBALEST ONE TAPS THE SHIELD. I wish I knew that. I was like huh. It takes my whole super. Def gonna get that from the vault.
You need that Xeno. It hits like a Mack truck.
@@danielconqueror3360 I actually just got it a day or two ago solo. It is so nice omg. I also got a god roll cold comfort so I think I’m set now.
Warlock w Getaway Artist and RiskRunner is pretty nasty here. I still can’t solo this boss tho 😭
Bardzo dziękuję 👍🏻
How does one go about getting into your Discord?
“Hey buddy how you doing” 🔨
Pretty well, thanks for checking out this massive video.
Is punch hunter viable here?
Very much.
Not sure if you are aware. But you can legit just fall down to any of those ledges. Fall Damage is NOW "non-lethal".
Also after the first encounter you can use your Sparrow - Instead of running the entire way.
The mobs especially the bosses are freaking bullet sponges. I'm pretty sure they have more HP than some raid bosses.
Including shield, Ecthar has more health than Nezarec. It’s crazy to solo that.
It can be impossible at times, but this dungeon is pretty decent.
Personally I found it over the top ridiculously difficult as a solo player.
Theres a console at the base of a pillar that youbcan "activate" any ideas?
It just for a tank
It’s a “tank” that you can’t shoot with or anything. You can just drive it around. There are 6 of them in all.
watching this after finishing my first ever solo dungeon in general.....dunno why I thought this should have been my first solo dungeon completion but anyway. For hunter use arc with liars or assasins cowl and use a briars contempt for final boss
This is my setup 💯💯. Liars is sooo good for the first boss.
I went in blind without watching any videos, I killed the two dudes at the gate then just waited there killings ads for 30 mins waiting for something to happen 😂😂
I am waiting on bungie to reduce hp on the bosses to go for a solo flawless. Even his a regular solo took me 2 hours. It’s nasty.
Ok for the symbols. I see a lot of ppl saying ice cream cone for the call out. But isn’t it literally just. The vex symbol.
OMG, looks like I won’t be running this solo! With all those adds, Titan is the choice to run this ridiculous dungeon. WTH is Bungo doing to us?
So far can't complete the first encounter have been as far as the last symbol but the enemy population is too thick and the damn wizard just hides i run out if time
I main a Hunter and it was rough but thanks to Thunderlord and being picky on when I used my super I got through it.
If the recommended build and weapons don’t work, switch to something else and try what works for you. I had to do that myself. I probably died 15-20 times just to get through the first part.

Its really hard with Hunter (solo).

Be that as it may, this is the worse solo Dungeon I've ever played, and I've beat them all, other than this one, solo.
It’s ridiculous that you are basically required to use Arbalest for the boss phases.
This looks so damn difficult I can just see my teammates leaving me for my lfg😊
Instead of sword use your hammer. It does over 100,000 each hit.
I think that’s if you use the Synthocepts instead of Lorelei Splendor.
Sadly I did this on master lol!
Don’t forget that Bungie changed Destiny so that you can no longer die from fall damage. Drop away guardians.
Aaaaaannnnd Arbalest doesn't one-shot the shield anymore, as of today's hotfix - because of course Bungie made that a priority smh.
It did on the first boss unless I’m crazy as I was breaking the shield with that.
I'm a anybody and I cant do it
Sheesh so long and tedious just to get to the first boss.
Bosses are just waaaaaaaay to spongy. It can be done but it’s not “fun” with each cycle the chance of something dumb or broken ruining your run. Pass.
Amazing how so much of this is just jumping and falling through essentially nothing. This is one thing I really hate about Destiny 2: every damn environment is built upon a bottomless abyss. It just feels like a lazy, cheap and easy way for Bungie to make the game artificially more difficult, and consequently require more playtime.
LIES ALL LIES
Never impressive using titan brain dead hammer
I have farmed that first encounter 15 times and still can't get a helmet to drop
15 lol ROOKIE NUMBERS
They have a shield because they are guardian's that's why you have to crush there ghost
Other Luscent Hive (in or out of the dungeon ) don't have them though?
@@DavidManser Thats what the moths are for
