This Guardian had the curious idea of only reaching level 40 in the first story mission in Destiny. The fun cost him over 98 hours.
Players have been complaining for some time about the MMO shooter Destiny that there is nothing left to do. New PvE content has been announced, but it will probably take a while before we can enjoy it.
A Guardian recently had the idea to tackle this boredom in Destiny with a questionable challenge, which he has successfully implemented. Judge for yourselves whether this idea is creative or bordering on madness.
98 Hours “A Guardian Rises” in Destiny
SerfaBoy, as the Guardian calls himself, spent over 98 hours in the first story mission “A Guardian Rises”. So, where you are revived by your Ghost, among all the rusty cars. His goal was: to only reach level 40 within this mission!
However, he first had to overcome numerous hurdles: because at the end of this mission you have to kill a final boss to grab the jump ship – then you automatically go to the Tower. However, the Guardian did not want that. He only wants to see the first mission, and reach level 40 only in that. He does not want to go anywhere else. So he had to come up with something.
He played the mission up to the final boss and then tried to return to orbit. However, this function is not available in the first mission yet. After all, you are not yet in possession of the ship with which you can float around casually in orbit.
The Guardian could only choose “Leave Game.” He did this and thus returned to the title screen. When he returned to the game, he spawned in a room just before the jump ship.
All he had to do then was to kill everything and everyone – except for the final boss. Then back to the title screen and do the whole fun again. And then again. And then again.
Sounds crazy? You can see for yourselves in this video.
How does one come up with such an idea? According to his own statements, he wanted to challenge himself. And he has now successfully mastered this challenge.
According to Bungie, his in-game time is 98 hours and 13 minutes. He estimates that this fun, including load times and time on the title screen, cost him over 106 hours. By the way, he has killed over 55,000 enemies.
Hopefully, it was worth it for him. What do you think about it?
