Beating Oryx for the first time and watching his decaying husk of a corpse float off in to space after everything you fought through to get there will forever be one of my favourite moments in gaming of all time
Yeah I remember it was like 4 AM and we finally beat him, I had to stay quiet because of family sleeping but my mates starting yelling stuff like "OMG FUCK YOU ORYX" and "LOOK AT HIS BODY FLOATING" and "I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH" and then suddenly realizing they shouldn't be making loud noises. Good times.
I really don’t know if they can ever top that for a “final boss”…Calus was cool, and Savathun makes sense but the sheer atmospheric volume of his size and health vs you and other tiny creatures was incredibly satisfying
I love the feeling of kings fall the most as it feels like one of the few times we as characters in destiny got to take the fight to the enemy in meaningful way. Board enemy ship kill boss's goons then kill the big bad himself and watch him drift into space. Nothing tops that imo
Deep Stone Crypt is always a raid that I will run whenever. Even though it's pretty easy (please give us a master mode bungie), the setting, the music, the story, and the encounters are all fantastic. It makes for a very laid back experience as 6, and a much more intense one if I'm 3 manning it. I also really love the fact that if your team is good, you can make the final boss go faster than the normally intended mechanic by just doing the challenge every time. I hope to see future encounters do something like this.
Deep stone is second only to Kings Fall for my favorite raids. As you said, everything is fantastic and the third encounter might be my favorite raid encounter ever. Watching the whole space station on a crash course to europa with the area getting incredibly more intense with the music, fire, ad density just makes it feel really epic to me
Wrath of the Machine is hands down my favorite raid in terms of sheer fun. It's beautiful, action packed, and so explosive! Such a fantastic raid to cap off D1
I think for like the first few runs it’s the best. Just because of the grandeur of everything but replay ability it lacks a lot because things can’t be sped up
I love warpriest and gologroth like you said the music and environment was so good and it really feels like you're going there to finish the campaign instead of killing some random boss we were barely ever introduced to.
@@stephenfajen332 true, I get why people don’t like that. But for me I felt satisfied with myself after beating it more than any other raid even after multiple plays. It was more exciting to me than the topical stand in one spot and do dps boss fights.
@@mohammedsaradih4787 I mean it would be cool to have. It was never a weapon that was used for clearing content and other aspects of the game. It was a unique weapon that was created for the purpose of having fun.
I love kings fall, I would finish all three of my characters for the week and just help people on lfg. I love the scenery and mechanics of it with oryx being my favorite villain of D1
Yo im in the same boat man. I used to sherpa Kings Fall all the time and was once upon a time really fun for me to teach a band of newbies on how to do a raid. It may not be the "best" but in my opinion it is. I love you kings fall and cant wait to have it remastered after which queen ;)
Dude the thing i love about kings fall is the fact that every class could do something different on each encounter and it was so cool because it meant that when you ran it multiple times a week you were always mixing it up. Taking oryx for example, if your a titan you get to bubble middle and deal with lighteater ogres, if your a hunter you get to quiver/predator tether ogres or if your third hunter you gett to Nighthawk/sleeper combo the shade so no one can die in shade room, if your warlock you get to do plate three and deal with knight 4 and even if you die to ship you just res yourself and if you didnt die you can burn your res in shade room to soak the hit so no one dies if they get TP'd in at the wrong time. Having different purposes for classes on a fight by fight basis is a cool thing. Now it usually just boils down to one to two wells and your set for ideal comps.
For me it's Deep Stone Crypt. I know it's an easy raid, combat difficulty wise, but the mechanics FEEL good. The atmosphere is, for me at least, second to none. It was also my very first "Day 1" experience, and that went a long way to making it just amazing for me. I love going back in there and just being there.
This. DSC's mechanics feel good to do and it makes it fun for me, while Garden is the opposite. Screaming at people messing up a tether is the most annoying shit lol
How would you change it if it came back? I really wanna see it as a good one but it’s just no fun for me. Really wanna like it, but as it stands… would be interesting to see it in D2
@@ludwigtheascendant Give it the VoG treatment. Leave it mostly alone but make some of the longer encounters (like holding the plates) shorter. Also rework some less interesting bosses like Golgoroth to be a little more involved and less easy to cheese. Make Oryx 2 or 3 bomb cycles instead of 4 because god damn does that fight drag on. Otherwise just keep it the same, I think if was *mostly* fine as is.
100% agree, such an epic experience and I love that it continued from the campaign. Felt like a true raid experience in the same vein as the icecrown citadel from WoW.
I'd probably say Deep Stone is my favorite overall - it has the whole "chill with the buds" vibe that Datto mentioned and overall there's not a single encounter I don't like in there. Even Security is so quick most of the time that it doesn't bother me to do it. Scourge is a close second though, granted that's partially because it was the first raid I ever ran so it gets some nostalgia bonus points.
Probably have to say Wrath here, pretty much for the same reasons listed in video, second place is probably Scourge, sure it's smaller but I just loved actually fighting in the last city, plus the sparrow part always ended up in some laughter, be it a close call or car crash. The other thing is that the fight against Insurrection actually feels like a fight, a boss who actually moves around, who attacks you with a varied arsenal, who even in between damage phases you have to hit to take down shields/stun out of more dangerous attacks, so many bosses just kinda stand there doing nothing while you solve a Rubik's cube to bring the shield down. Probably Crown of sorrow for third which is weird because it's easily my least cleared, but it's the one I wish I had back the most, the satisfaction of executing like clockwork was so satisfying and the music was soooooo good. I hope I never have a reason to run last wish. Too many long over-stretched runs with LFGs, no real mechanical "theming" and outside of Riven the bosses are just boring.
For me its VOG original. Nostalgia is big here. I remember coming home, getting in destiny, and playing this raid with a bunch of old dudes on day one. I was 8 years old, I'm sixteen now, have my license, getting ready to apply to college, and have experienced so much more of the world and yet my best memories are of that raid. I love it to this day, and will never forget the good times. Destiny 1 has my love forever.
I’m a minority here but Crota’s End will always be my favorite. I have such great memories for every encounter and I adore the aesthetic. I’d also love to see bungie bring it back revamped as the most difficult raid we’ve ever seen.
My favorite has got to be Leviathan. Not only is it a really good raid, it was the first raid I ever played since I never played D1. I hope they add it back at some point.
Yep, I started with D2 and that intro cutscene, flying up to this massive ship and seeing your tiny guardians in comparison get ready to kick some ass... just glorious.
Everyone always seems to want lots of bosses and Last Wish is great it's my favorite raid but Levi is such a close second. It's what I always imagined raids were before I started playing. Three puzzle type encounters that are all different, in a very wealthy gold setting, and then you get to the big boss man. Had the underbelly so you could learn shortcuts if you didnt wanna to the top every time, special armor effects to give you bonuses while in the raid. So great and so sad that's it's now gone.
@@DavidFerneau The one part I will always remember was our first time beating it. Me and one of my friends along with my brother and three of his friends were doing it day one, blind. We started at around 8PM and one of my brother’s friends was at a boarding school where they would shut off the internet at night. As it got closer and closer to midnight, we were getting worried that he’d have his internet cut off any minute and we’d have to try again the following weekend. We finally managed to get to Calus and after 3 or 4 attempts we finally beat him. 5 seconds after the final chest opened and we got our loot, he disconnected and hopped on discord on his phone a couple seconds later to say the school shut off the internet. We could not have possibly cut that any closer.
For me there's no particular raid that stands out as my absolute favorite raid, but if I had to choose one I think it would be Scourge of the Past for me. I really enjoyed how unique it was compared to other raids with the ability to use your sparrow in every encounter. The sparrow (2nd) encounter was also pretty fun to try and get better at and master, as well the ability to clutch the encounter for your team was satisfying. I loved the final boss especially. I loved that it was a giant mech that roamed around the arena that used a variety of attacks that you could counter. It really gave the boss a dynamic experience that made it feel like a real living threat (which is ironic for being a mech). Plus the damage phase was more engaging with the phase synergy mechanic compared to most other raids. And the icing on the cake is that the exotic raid weapon was single handedly the most powerful raid exotic period (outside maybe the week 1 Vex Mythoclast in D1). There's only 2 things that would've made the raid better IMO, which were adding another encounter and having better weapons.
Wrath is my favourite raid. I love the siva asthetic, and Aksis is one of the best boss fights Bungie has ever done. I agree that challenge mode Aksis is the best challenge encounter to do. Unlimited supers, going to town at his feet with dark drinker was always a good time
Vault of Glass was and always will be my favorite. I remember my first completion of the raid was back in 2014, and we all had no idea what we were doing. Yet, we somehow did well. Anyway one guy had to go afk because he would get grounded if he didn’t do his chores in time and we grossly underestimated how long it would take us. Another guy was lagging awfully but we had to keep him because lfg wasn’t available back then. We finally got to Atheon after 3 hours and defeated him after another hour or so. I even got Vex Mythoclast too! I had blast with my friends and we continued to do the raids up until Wrath Of The Machine. Good times.
It’s amazing how many people agree on Last Wish being the best raid, and honestly I’ve gotta agree. Everything from the aesthetic to the storytelling and lore inclusion to the mechanics makes it the most “epic” and enjoyable raid I’ve ever played, with kings fall being the only one that comes close.
It could’ve been so much better imo. Mostly because of riven. It’s just a mechanic heavy game of wack a mole, rather than a sprawling dragon boss fight
Wrath Of The Machine hands down. - challenging mechanics when new to raid - best boss encounters - red black and blue color scheme/environment - Weapons loot overall was amazing - the earnable shaders - Outbreak Prime quest - MUSIC (a very big factor - the lore and story buildup behind it all leading to the raid - memories with my friends Nothing can top raid for me. It was truly a heart pounding experience.
My personal favorite is very close between Eater of Worlds and Garden of Salvation, but I think Eater of Worlds wins. I absolutely adore the setting and vfx used in this raid with the purple pools and fiery background. The sound effects of Argos doing the vex screaming and the shield going up are perfectly done, and when you have to blitz his weak spots to stop the gravity weapon wipe feels powerful. Argos’ music is also amazing. Garden is a close second because I love the frantic first and last encounters and the environment can’t be beat in terms of beauty. The music is my favorite in the game with a few exceptions. Argos, Consecrated mind and Sanctified mind all look super menacing as well, which makes the final win feel even better. Same with Templar and Atheon. I think I have a thing for vex raids.
Definitely going with WOTM. The outbreak prime puzzle even though it's not an actual encounter is something I'd like to see more off. The mechanics are all great and it's the hardest raid to "cheese" or at least was at the time. The final boss was my favorite encounter because you nailed it Datto, everyone has a job and communication was key. Bonus points for the challenge mode. Do you think they should have more outbreak style puzzles in raids? Why or why not? I feel like it almost never gets mentioned.
Wrath is my favorite. The encounters are relatively easy to teach and it’s not super hard, but the cherry on top is the soundtrack. The trumpet fanfare that plays when someone gets empowered is simply amazing
Scourge and Crota are probably my favorite raids, even if I know that last wish is probably better objectively. Just the experiences I had with them when they were relevant content are some of the best times I’ve had in destiny period.
Leviathan since it was first raid my friends and I actually were able to grind up to and beat. Took us hours to do maybe a month after it dropped, but I will never forget that feeling.
Wrath of the Machine will always hold a special place in my heart...it had the right amount of everything I wanted in a raid and didn't drag itself on for way too long.
My favorite raid is Crota's End because it was an incredibly fun solo experience, and a lot of the cheese and strategies I used I came up with, instead of just using a guide online. Otherwise its Scourge cause its just fun with the bois
I have a real soft spot for Scourge - it was the first raid I ever ran reliably, chasing Anarchy, so it become very second nature to me. Loved finally having some hefty content set in the Last City, and the sparrow run and final boss were super fun.
Hot Takes: I don't think Crota gets enough love for how different and challenging the raid experience was if you tried to solo it. You felt like a speedrunner abusing despawn mechanics at the bridge, and juggling both sides of the deathsinger was a hectic good time. The Riven Cheese was the best thing that could have happened for that encounter since the main mechanic was just a lengthy game of telephone that caused a wipe if something went even slightly wrong. Memorizing isn't fun. Scourge of the Past has the most unique, fun, and interesting ideas of any raid that all come together at the end to create the best raid experience to date. The frostbite section in Deep Stone Crypt was just a slower and less fun take on the lamps from Crota's End.
The problem with cheesing riven is that you miss the sense of scale with the boss. The drop down section is one of the most epic fantasy like parts in any raid
Most people think raids are supposed to be done together, sure its cool to be able to solo something but abusing mechanics and doing raids solo take away from the "band together and solve the puzzles to kill the guy" experience that raids bring
@@mitchelldondlinger1876 lol you shouldn’t have to fall down at that part just to see riven. The whole fight should’ve been like that. Not a mechanic heavy game of wack a mole
You had me chuckling at the Riven take, but I’ve never read anything as funny as the Scourge take. That raid is literally Wrath of the Machine but trash. Grasp of Avarice, a dungeon, is a better version of Scourge.
I enjoy the atmosphere and technicality of King’s Fall. Doing everything right is really engaging and satisfying and it was also the first raid I learned to do. Some others, VOG in D2 can feel like I’m waiting around for phases to begin/end.
Wrath is my favorite raid, with Deep Stone and King's Fall rounding out the top 3. Wrath had the perfect combination of fun raid, memories, the first raid linked exotic quests, and the loot. Man that Chaos Dogma scout rifle was a thing of beauty.
Gos is my favorite raid because I like the sherpas, speedruns, and challenges. They are so team oriented and if one person is really good it can feel like everyone working to plug leaks while someone truly drives the boat. It's just really fun and engaging.
Last Wish is my favourite at this time. The fact that it's a big, multi encounter raid where each boss has a slightly different take on mechanics with enough action for the team generally to be engaged makes it super enjoyable. I'd just like to do legit Riven once so I've seen the whole fight.
my friends and i have recently been tackling Master mode VoG and i gotta say: thats the most fun raiding ive had in a while. the challenges can be kind of annoying but theres nothin more satisfying than finally clearing it w ur friends
My tier list: 1- Last Wish 2- Deep Stone Crypt 3- Leviathan 4- Wrath of the Machine 5- King's Fall 6- Scourge of the Past 7- Spire of Stars 8- Crown of Sorrow 9- Eater of Worlds 10- Garden of Salvation 11- Vault of Glass 12- Crota's End To be fair I love them all, except the last 3
As someone who doesn't raid terribly often, there's one specific thing I really want more of going forward, and that's cool-off encounters like Queenswalk. Usually after the rush of a final raid encounter it feels good, but it's just kinda done then and it kinda feels off for me. Last Wish is the only raid where I don't get that feeling, when it's done it just feels satisfying.
What I like a bout a raid is when it’s a different (but still fun) experience every time you play. Vault and the puzzle rooms in shura chi are great examples. Making yourself think on the fly and solve something different every time instead of just memorizing exactly where you go and just doing it on autopilot. DSC had this a little with the different buffs being in different spots as well as leviathan at the end
as someone who started in shadowkeep im gonna go out and say DSC. because its pretty chill and that moment you go to the morningstar station was a magical experience outright
Riven is one of my favorite encounters, as we are literally fighting a dragon. It has fire breath, claw attacks, and just looks cool in general. But my favorite is King's Fall. Nothing tops seeing what is perhaps the most terrifying monster Destiny has ever seen, and will see for a while after, exploding in a white explosion of glory, as it's calcified husk floats away into the orbit of Saturn. Coolest. Shit. EVER
Just finished my first ever Vault of Glass today, actually, and got myself a Vision of Confluence and three pieces of armor on my Warlock. Very fun, decently easy to learn. But! My favorite is still Deep Stone Crypt. I'm sorry, but nothing will beat the legendary moments of wiping sixteen times on Atraks-1 and finally felling them, then walking out into space and hearing, "Enjoying yourselves, intruders?" The music as you parkour. The muffled sounds of space. Everything about it is incredible.
Wrath of the Machine, and the hard mode was a blast!! During that time though my main raid team fell apart, and I started running with Rando's. But I was so glad when I got Outbreak Prime!!! That gun Melted everything!!
King's Fall, baby. I love the sense of scale and the "storming the fortress" feel of the whole thing. I'm also one of those masochists who loves jumping puzzles.
D1 raids were so much fun. Beating oryx in challenge mode was so satisfying as 16balls pop at the same time, and there couldn't be any mistakes made. I still remember the night that my group were stuck on Aksis challenge mode till 4 in the morning, we were all so tired from it but still got it done, totally worth it and enjoyable
My favorite raid will forever be wrath of the machine, just my favorite thing to do is run around and do glitches and try to finish the raid fast by using speed run strays but not speedrunning and competing for the most damage on aksis and trying to see who is faster there are just a ton of thing u can learn to do to have more fun in the raid and I know there are things like that in other raid but wrath just puts them all together in the best ways Psn: Yung_Mo_04
Kings fall has to be my favorite raid. Hands down top 3 gaming experiences of my life to finish the raid when it released, my friends were climbing up the walls IRL. So many good memories
I love Wrath challenge mode and having to keep track of empowerments and the fact that mastery made a difference. My best time with an LFG was 50min on normal, we only wiped once on Zamboni :) I will always consider DSC one of my favorites solely because the platforming section with Deep Stone Lullaby is so well done atmospherically. When LFGs are telling you to shut up for the next 30sec and turn your music up to 10...you know you're about to experience something special.
Kings fall is and will always be my favorite raid. Although I agree on some things about the raid in the video, I still think it’s the most fun raid I’ve played
Mine will always be Wrath of the Machine. I loved it from start to finish. The Aksis fight music theme is so awesome, I remember me and my lads were excited to jump at the back platforms after the DPS phase so the Siva Critical Density theme starts playing. Man, the good old days...
I think Crota is my favorite raid simply because it really gives you a sense of power with the lamps. You absolutely feel like a god mowing through thrall, while still being a bit scary with the knights coming out of nowhere. Running across the bridge at the end was always a stressful situation too
Scourge of the Past is my favorite. I just love being in the City, zipping around on Sparrows, and that tanks get utilized in the boss fight. It just brought in so many new mechanics. Also you fight a giant Fallen mech.
Mine would be wrath bc of the setting. I absolutely love the scale of the raid and the weapons you could get from it were all just so good so you never felt bad for getting a specific drop. The encounters are intense but not so intense that you need absolute concentration, so you can have a good time with your friends while also kicking Aksis to the curb if everyone knows what there doing.
I remember going into Wraith of the machine day 1 with my team and we took forever on final boss but we didn’t give up and we got it done, one of the most satisfying feelings I’ve ever felt in game, man I miss those days
I was blessed in that Wrath of the Machine was my first raid ever in Destiny. Way back then, I had been a solo player, until I met a group of friends and started playing with them. Shortly after the launch of WotM, I was invited to join their team for a blind run in the same week it launched. Ultimately, the run failed due to death zamboni, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with the raiding experience. Ever since, I’ve been an active and prolific raider.
Last Wish is my true favorite raid, but Kings Fall definitely hits hard with the nostalgia. For a game of this genre, Bungie really outdid themselves with every raid in the franchise.
My favorite has been Garden of Salvation. It was my first raid, and my hardest/longest completion. I was coming back to D2 after year 1 and wanted to try raiding. No one would take a "new light" and so I had to teach myself. My first completion took me 18 hours and I sherpad it as well as did the div puzzle. It was brutal, but that's why I loved it. It required so much teamwork. It also gave me the patience to do most raids with most any group.
Mine will always be Last Wish, it was my first major raid experience (I had played a fair amount before, just never raided) and I was very fortunate with the LFG I joined. I still play with those guys today, and it was so satisfying to beat. It took about 8 hours, and I had so much fun.
My favourite is wrath of the machine.The atmosphere,the encounters,the boss designs,the loot is all just perfect to me.Aksis phase 2 is my favourite fight in the series because everybody has an interesting job and the mechanics are just so fun
I know for sure my favorite encounter is the Crown final boss. Despite it being a hassle to teach it to someone, I always somehow find myself enjoying taking the new player in the group to my side and getting them through the fight.
Wrath of the Machine has to be my number one favorite raid ever, mechanics, theme, the music, Just everything about it. There's a reason why the Aksis phase 2 boss music is so memorable to me as it's one of my favorite pieces of destiny music ever. And not to mention the loot which was very good with genesis chain and chaos dogma being some of my favorite raid primaries
Crown of sorrow the jumping puzzle is always a shit shown with my group which is fun. And the iconic call out we have for the second phase of CLEANSE ME (Followed by some sort of name calling) is always fun. A good source for banter with the boys
kings fall, it was just perfection! the environment the music the scale, I just loved oryx as an encounter, and the shadow realm is my favorite encounter in any raid/dungeon across any game
Crotas end is my favorite. So many memories bad and good. We did the Ethernet cheese and waited for our boy to load back in just to die to boomers for 3 hours. When we finally completed it, the hype was something I’ll never forget
Funny story about the Kings Fall Platforming section (ships) back when I was playing with my raid group there was one guy who just couldn’t do it. We spent almost 40 minutes waiting for him because he just couldn’t jump. It got to the point where one guy (who lived near him) just put a rubber band on his controller and got in his car to drive to his house to do the jumping for him. Probably one of my favorite funny moments.
The way you described Oryx is how I feel about Spire of stars. I attempted the final boss so many times before it got sunset and didn't beat it once. One person can really drag the entire team down and it feels awful when your there for 2 hours trying to do it over and over again.
Wrath of the Machine. It was when me and my friends were able to be online, not busy with life and we would run 4 man for the first two encounters. It was incredibly satisfying. When I got to do it legit, it was so cool and such a triumph when our band of Fools actually beat Aksis
As someone who only ran raids for the first Moments of Triumph, and also to get Touch of Malice, King’s Fall is my favorite. It was the only one I cleared completely, and it felt amazing to finally do that. (Also, killing Skolas in Prison of Elders with my brand new G-horn was so badass!)
My favorite part of a raid is the deep stone lullaby part of DSC, my favorite raid is probably last wish because fighting and meeting an ahamkara was very cool.
Personally my favorite raid is VOG destiny 2 edition because it's mechanics require just enough focus that you aren't bored but not too much that you can't mess with your friends, and also holds sentimental value for me as my first ever raid clear along with where I met a friend of mine that taught me almost everything that I know about endgame D2. Also the D1 style reactions when someone gets vex for the first time and how pissed everyone else in the lobby gets is something I thrive on
I would have to say DSC is my favorite raid. And i finally have Eyes of Tomorrow after doing my first one phase with Taniks, which was very satisfying.
I don't really have a favorite raid per se but favorite parts of raids. My favorite opening will always be Crota's End because it felt like we came to a place that hated our existence as beings of light and would attempt to destroy us if we left its protection. My favorite final boss currently is Aksis part 2, it was the quintessential destiny experience for me. As a titan I wasn't forced to be on bubble duty like other bosses, if you engaged with mechanics fully you could spam your super and fully embrace the space magic fantasy of your class. Plus, I feel like it got the organized chaos of a raid perfectly. Like Datto said people needed to be on their toes and paying attention but didn't require writing notes like Riven (Which is also an excellent encounter) plus extra factors like the music was great (chef's kiss)
I love when I disagree with what is at highest tier in these videos across your tube because it starts a debate in my mind and honestly you’ve swayed me to like wrath more. It was my most hated raid in the series by far but from your points I’ve gained a new perspective and I’m happy to reconsider given it’s probably the next raid to come to d2
Honestly I'm a huge fan of Deep Stone Crypt. I love the atmosphere of finally entering the Crypt that we've heard about since D1. I love the colour scheme of the white and blue. Going into space is pretty cool. I love the weapons and to be honest I like how easy it is. I don't really like going into a raid and spending 3 hours dying because some dude dies to a thrall or some shit or not understanding the premise of "standing in that spot murders you instantly" so just throwing some little symbols around is fun. Also Chaos Decent is fun as hell.
Always Wrath of the Machine. At the time, and I think still, it had some of the most unique mechanics and encounters. And the feeling when you aced everything first try and had a quick run, especially with a pick-up group, was so gratifying.
I agree with this completely. If I want to raid just to raid, it’s gonna be Last Wish or Wrath depending on which game I feel like playing. I don’t mind getting called in to a DSC or VoG, but I’m meh about joining a Garden.
King’s Fall has got to be my fave of all time, it’s when I got into destiny and it felt like the ultimate goal of the game was to beat the hard mode on all the challenges… nothing beat the satisfaction I felt when I finally got those all done
If i wanted to have a serious raid knight, 100 percent kings fall, I loved how much attention you had to put into everything and aside from oryx's downsides I genuinely loved every encounter without issue. If I wanted to have a raid with the buds it would be last wish or crown of sorrow. Crowns boss fight is one of my favorites when everyone knows what they are doing bc it moves quickly and its so satisfying feeling like you have mastery over all the million different aspects to the encounter. and last wish, because that is a damn good raid and its only issue is being able to cheese riven
So far , I haven’t played any Raid that has given me the satisfaction of beating the final boss than King’s Fall. It was such a fun time for me in the Destiny franchise. It was one of those final boss fights that actually made me nervous the first time I saw Oryx big body pop up .
Original Leviathan was my second raid, since I didn't really raid until Last Wish, after which I decided to check out the others. MAN. This raid was so unique, and fun as heell. Dog, and Gauntlet both were super unique encounters which wasnt just stand here shoot thing. Bathhouse was fine,, but I think Courtyard was a better obligatory ad-clear chaos encounter. and when we got to Calus, man was honestly incredibly intimidating when I first fought him, and the stuff with the purple calus sucking u in honestly only made the raid better. The fact that is was easier than something like Garden helped a lot to me in particular
Wrath of the machine has to be my favorite. Not only does the raid gear look sick, but the encounters, especially the death Zamboni, are fun. DSC comes in second due to the lore reveal concerning exos being part vex and part darkness
