In Destiny, a Guardian has managed to master the Siege Engine solo on Heroic difficulty. However, with help.
Now let’s take a look at an impressive achievement in the “Wrath of the Machine” raid that none of us will probably ever replicate.
For the Guardian sc_Slayerage, who shares his achievements on the YouTube channel “The Legend Himself”, has struck again and accomplished things that a normal person cannot achieve.
He managed to solo the Siege Engine – and that in hard mode. How he did it can be seen in this video:
Even the legend can’t do it without help
For those who are speechless or fear they have to rethink their worldview: Only with the controller in hand did “The Legend Himself” not achieve this. This run was “tool assisted”, meaning he used aids.
This involved a macro, which is a “macroinstruction” that can execute key combinations with just one button press. Apparently, he used this tool to catch parts of the Siege Engine so elegantly. Perfect timing was needed for this, which the macro assisted him with.
However, he emphasizes that the macro was not perfect and rarely worked as intended. Moreover, it was incredibly difficult not to mess up the run even with it.
Interestingly, he has received no criticism from other Guardians for this (so far). One user writes that it is totally fine to use the tools available to you. He has clearly communicated that he relies on them.
However, The Legend Himself admits that it would be thousands of times more impressive if he had done it without a macro. But in his opinion, this is beyond human capability. He attempted it for 32 hours, by the way, before this run succeeded.
