The “best Destiny player” has struck again. He completed the Leviathan raid in Destiny 2 first.
Last night, on September 13 at 7 PM, the first raid in the history of Destiny 2: The Leviathan raid started. Bungie had called for a race: They would watch all guardians closely and then announce the fireteam that would successfully complete this raid first. Numerous guardians accepted this race and tried to achieve the “World First” run.
The fireteam “The Legend Himself” has now succeeded. This clan is known in the (especially English-speaking) community because it includes the guardian sc_Slayerage. He is considered one of the best Destiny players in the world, if not the best, who consistently pulls off amazing runs on his Youtube channel “The Legend Himself”.
Warning: Massive spoiler ahead!
The Legend Himself took about 6 hours to master the Leviathan raid. Bungie shared the final seconds of the raid via Twitter. We embed them here, watch at your own risk:
Emperor’s Respite as a PvP map for everyone
According to Bungie, it was a close race. Multiple teams could have been crowned. In the end, the victory went to The Legend Himself.
Now there should be a celebration for defeating the Leviathan raid. Bungie writes that just behind the winning clan was Lord Shaxx. The Crucible Overseer immediately set up a PvP map in this raid area. “Emperor’s Respite” is now available to all guardians in the Crucible:
You do not need to defeat the raid yourself to play on this new map.
A raid guide will be published on Mein-MMO.de in the coming hours, showing you how to get through the individual phases of the raid.
Update: Here you can find our guide to the Leviathan raid in Destiny 2.
The last raid race took place in October 2016, by the way. At that time, the Heroic mode of Wrath of the Machine only lasted 45 minutes. The Bus Drivers managed to snatch the “World First” for themselves and placed The Legend Himself in second place.
