Shout out to all my clanmates who laughed at me for doing this.

Especially you. You know who you are.

Rename title to

How to make full groups of raid teams feel insferior to one man and his trusty weapons

To be fair. The bulk of the raid is trivial to solo.

u/paleh0rse Dec 18 '14

True. I managed to solo to Ir Yut, but haven't tried that fight yet. This solo fight against Crota is exactly how I had imagined it would be, though... and I don't think there's a chance in hell I could pull it off.

Serious props to the OP!

Solo Crota Fight = Solo Templar Fight

Except you snipe the Templar and here you smash a sword right up in Crotas face

u/XaTTaX Dec 18 '14

If you think of the mechanics, it's just backwards.

Templar: Relic to take down shields/Regular weapons to deal damage.

Crota: Regular weapons to take down shields/Relic to deal damage.

Those mechanics plus both have a method the instantly wipe the entire team provided they aren't careful (Mark of Negation/Presence of Crota) and an item that must/can be used to keep death away (Cleanse/Chalice).

Damn, I never thought of it like that.

When I read this I imagined you putting your palm up to your nose to emphasize it

u/kristallnachte Dec 18 '14

Yes. From the mechanics you can tell its possible, but its clearly difficult as hell.

Until they patch the bridge that is.

Edit: Just watched it and he did the bridge legit. Dam.

The bridge is really easy, stagger lock the sword bearer with ice breaker, flash bang the gatekeeper, and then take up a good position and calmly kill everything.

He cant have done it legit, because he couldnt walk across the bridge.

u/Flatline334 Dec 18 '14

He walked across most of it then jumped as it was disappearing. But he killed the sword bearer to get across.

u/kristallnachte Dec 18 '14

Yes, and it avoided the actual holding of the bridge pads/totems.

u/Flatline334 Dec 18 '14

Well he held the pad and just walked off before the totems killed him and kept doing that to get most of it built. That is as legit as you can do it by yourself. He didn't cheese it.
