Recently, the raid boss Riven was soloed in Destiny 2. However, the strategy used to accomplish this cannot be replicated by anyone anymore.
Here’s what it’s about: Player Tazus was the first player to manage to defeat the raid boss Riven solo in Destiny 2. Riven is the boss of the “Last Wish” raid, which was introduced with the Forsaken expansion.
Just before the reset on May 7, Tazus succeeded in taking down Riven solo. The timing was crucial because the strategy for the solo kill relied on buffs, a bug, and a lot of luck.
The basis of the kill was a bug where Arcstrider Hunters could deal more damage than intended since the Arc week. With the reset on May 7 and Patch 2.2.2, the bug was fixed. He also utilized the Revelry Elixir from the spring event, which also ended with the reset.
How was the raid boss defeated? Besides the Arc bug, Tazus also had luck on his side. He had only a 1:45 chance to hit the correct eye of Riven to stop her one-hit kill.
He used joining allies to switch sides in the fight and stack the melee buff of the Arc Hunter on the adds. With the Arc week, melee damage per buff stack was increased from 50% to 60%. Additionally, the damage buff could unintentionally transfer to the Hunter’s super, allowing Tazus to deal incredible damage to Riven.
In the various phases, the player also continuously changed his equipment and subclass to adapt to the different conditions and prepare as best as possible for the upcoming sections. This is only possible on PC – on consoles, the menu loading times are simply too long.
Player had help: Under his video, Tazus thanks his clan, who supported him in preparations and test runs, as well as Gladd from Clan Redeem, who provided the strategy for the kill. The player was also cheered on by Slayerage, The Legend Himself, who is known for incredible achievements in Destiny and Destiny 2.
In addition to Riven, there are also other nasty opponents in Destiny 2, such as Trevor:
