While we in Destiny 2 are still struggling against the new raid bosses from the Deep Stone Crypt, some Guardians are outdoing each other with absurd kill challenges. MeinMMO shows you here with video evidence that the bosses have been defeated without weapon force and completely alone.
It has been just over a week since the first players cracked the new raid from Destiny 2: Beyond Light. Many casual gamers and relaxed Guardians are still struggling with the endgame activity or are only now slowly reaching the required level range.
While the prospect of new and powerful weapons drives players into the Deep Stone Crypt, the Destiny professionals have entirely different motivations. Running out of content, they want to outdo each other with absurd challenges and daredevil maneuvers that many “normal” Guardians could hardly pull off.
MeinMMO presents you here with 2 achievements that showcase some impressive feats from the new raid of Beyond Light.
Hardest boss of the Deep Stone Crypt lost the 1vs1 duel
In Destiny 2, raids are designed so that a team of 6 players has to face the challenge or should ideally do so. Because the boss fight against Atraks-1 and the entire encounter have now been soloed.
Which solo player was at work? The raid boss Atraks-1 lost the duel against Slayerage.
Although he is not the final boss, players consistently curse him as the hardest encounter in the whole Deep Stone Crypt. Because you fight on Earth and simultaneously in space against multiple copies of the boss, have to manage 2 buffs and one debuff, and fend off a wipe mechanic in just a few seconds.
Check out the last seconds of Atraks-1 here in the video:
This is how Slayerage did it:
- The professional plays a Dawnblade Warlock (Heavenly Alignment) at power level 1,266.
- He uses a kinetic auto rifle and a grenade launcher to fend off the hordes of enemies.
- Against Atraks-1 himself, he uses the extremely powerful Exotic sword “The Lament”.
- He mostly plays with the Agent buff – with that, he is able to shoot the deadly debuff off his head via “Ricochet”.
- To find out which copy of the boss is the right one, he uses a little trick and a fair amount of luck: minimal damage reveals which Atraks-1 you must attack.
- But it has to be quick – if you take too much time or deal too much damage to the wrong one, it results in a wipe.
- In the final phase, he uses the scanner buff to quickly find the right boss.
After 10 hours of continuous streaming, it was finally time: When he succeeds at the feat, his chat on Twitch goes completely wild. Because the solo kill is the result of a stream lasting over 10 hours (via Twitch). Just the day before, Slayerage had unsuccessfully tried to defeat Atraks-1 solo.
Slayerage and his clan “The Legend Himself” are well known in Destiny like a colorful dog. By the way, it was Slayerage who soloed the raid boss Crota in Destiny 1 first 6 years ago.
A team has defeated the final raid boss completely without weapon force
Destiny 2 is a loot shooter. The hunt for the strongest weapon, the god roll, and the rarest exotic is the carrot in front of the noses of many guardians. And especially in the raids, players need all their firepower.
This raid boss was taken down in a “pacifistic” way: It is all the more astonishing that the final raid boss Taniks was defeated by a team that completely refrained from using firearms. Only with nice words, Taniks did not give up easily, so all abilities and melee attacks could be used.
Check out here how the final boss of the Deep Stone Crypt receives his weapon-less beating:
This is how the team proceeded:
- Most players chose the Stormcaller Warlock (Storm’s Control).
- Thanks to his super “Chaos Reach,” good boss damage is possible, with the Rift offering healing for the team, and the “Ball Lightning” allows at least some distance damage.
- By skillfully switching the exotics “Aeon Soul” and the “Geomag Stabilizers“, the abilities quickly gain energy.
- A Hunter provides invisibility and increases damage with his arrow. Thus, the team foregoes Divinity, which is otherwise present at almost all Guardians.
- Otherwise, the team plays the encounter normally – they just take longer to deal with the adds.
If you think this is only a game of patience, you are wrong. Because raid bosses are in a hurry and go into “Enrage” after a certain time. If players take too long or deal insufficient damage, a wipe follows.
The “Enrage” warning also appears in the video. Under pressure, the Guardians manage to take down Taniks using only their abilities. The jubilation is correspondingly great.
Have you already visited the new raid in the Deep Stone Crypt? Do you drop your jaw at the insane challenges that some Guardians set for themselves or do you consider it digital boasting?
