This Guardian amazes everyone in Destiny 2: He soloed the Nightfall strike at the Prestige level!
This week, since September 12th, the Nightfall “The Twisted Towers” is up. For many Guardians, this already poses a significant challenge even at the normal difficulty level. The recommended Power Level is 240.
Before starting the Nightfalls, daring fireteams can increase the difficulty to Prestige: This has a recommended Power Level of 300, the enemies are stronger and smarter, and the time pressure is higher. Your equipment cannot be changed after the strike starts, so you need to think ahead about which weapons and focus you want to choose.
This is a challenge that even seasoned fireteams can struggle with. Impossible to achieve alone – or?
The YouTuber and hardcore Destiny player Esoterickk shows that it is indeed possible. He soloed the Nightfall strike and even had over a minute left on the clock at the end. See for yourself:
He’s done it again
Just a few days ago, we reported on Esoterickk, as he managed to solo the Nightfall strike from last week. At the end of the article, I joked that it was probably only a matter of time before he soloed the Prestige Nightfall. I didn’t think that time would come so quickly.
This is his Guardian loadout:
- Striker Titan with Pulse Grenade and the top skill tree (shoulder charge “Seismic Strike”)
- Kinetic weapon: Nameless Midnight (Scout Rifle)
- Energy weapon: Skyburner’s Oath (Exotic Scout Rifle)
- Power weapon: Curtain Call – Rocket Launcher
- Additionally, he has the exotic leg armor Dunemarchers
- Power Level 303, Mobility 4, Resilience 4, Recovery 5
The final phase against Protheon was said to be the most difficult in the raid. In the end, he decided to wait for the Arc Burn, throw a pulse grenade at the boss, and take him down with Fist of Havoc. While he died himself, the boss also fell, allowing him to successfully complete the Nightfall strike. Impressive!
