How ANYONE Can Beat ALL Pantheon Raid Bosses! (No Experience Needed) 

Im gonna be 100% honest this is a LONG video and a LOT of information to soak in especially if you arent familiar with raiding. No problem with needing to rewatch this a few times to lock everything in the brain, seriously. Thats how I learned raiding when I first started out. It will take a few tries and a lot of trial and error but before you know it youll be doing all of this stuff with your eyes closed! AND im here to help you every step of the way. I intend to do pantheon carries/help runs on my stream literally all week so, yeah just stop by to see it from my POV, to ask questions, or to run with me!

The hardest part is finding people who don’t leave the second you mess up the boss

I love how watching these guides prepares you well for the activity, You feel confident, you think you are gonna nail it. Then you go in all hyped with the possibility of adept raid loot at your fingertips...and proceed to get absolutely destroyed on the first step.

How to beat pantheon. 1. Have friends who will actually answer you if you ask them to do pantheon (all 50 friends ignored me) 2. Find an actual patient and chill raid team. (Been at it fot 5 hours 3. Pray that they dont leave after ome death making you feel like you're wasting your time.

Not gonna lie . I didn't expect into the light to be such a banger. I've been having a blast with Onslaught and Pantheon.

You have no idea how simply having an example of the encounter you just explained helps. It really does a lot for absorbing the information and the "digestability" of it. Another banger by the man, the myth, the mactics.

As a solo player since d1 I understood the first half. Once you started talking about the planets my brain went to mush

What I love about Mac's guides is that they're straight to the point and well explained regardless of your experience lvl.

you really go above and beyond to make people of all skill levels feel welcome to try out these events/builds. you've quickly become my favorite d2 content creator and im grateful someone like you is in this community.

Keep up the good work man. Your builds and guides have helped me through destiny.

I appreciate how mac shows the typically more difficult roles to do so that people who watch this guide can do the harder roles if they need to

I like how you include a live example of each. Awesome guide.

Hardest part about d2 lfg: finding people who know how to read

Exactly what I was hoping for, thank you for this helpful guide!

Mac, you should do more raid guides, this is super concise and explained in a way that for some reason, registers well with me far better than other video guides that I've seen. Nicely done!

Excellent explanations Mactics! Wonderful video quality as pere usual.

For atraks, if you are having difficulty one phasing and need to go downstairs, immediately after dmg send the scanner + another player who is NOT the operator downstairs to dmg atraks (make sure neither player going down picked up the orb). Have the non-scanner player pick up the orb and have everyone come upstairs then scanner can get you another dmg opportunity on atraks (perferably with lament if you were using parasite before). Also, the operator can shoot the buff off of you, and then you can just pick it up again (so you dont necessarily need to send the buffs into space just communicate when you need a refresh). Make sure to equip solar surge mods and have an armor charge if you cannot 1phase. Also, you only really need 1 well other warlocks can be on novabomb (use vortex bomb so u dont block shots). I hope this helps, I know a lot of lfgs struggle with 1 timing the dps bc they dont have the right class composition and dont have other classes leveled. I’ve done this many times with first timers, so even if u are struggling u can totally do it!

Solid video and great explanations and suggestions, 10/10 👌🏿 Looking forward to the rest of them in the following weeks 🙌🏿

thank you so much, as someone whos coming back to these raids after a year or two its really nice to know the current dps metas

Thank you for explaining this so carefully! It all makes so much sense now!

i can’t wait to give it a shot!! thanks for the great guide mac!

I literally liked commented and subscribed after you found the best way to fit that into this video

LOVE the loadout recommendations!

Thanks for making this so fast brother. Appreciate it!

Great job on the work you've been putting in since you've gone full time. Longer videos with all of the graphics like this takes a lot of effort

Thank you for this, early D1 player and I've done literally everything there is to do except the raids. So I'm hyped for this mode.

So clear and informative. Great guide 👍🏻

Good video, i wish i could raid and try this but social anxiety is a right pain!! Just wanted to add your content lately so damn good!

Man this is a really cool activity. I haven’t raided in a while, this will be perfect for getting back in form for the day one final shape raid, and the loot seems awesome. I haven’t run a ton of vow or kings fall (in d2 at least) cause they dropped when I was on a break from the game, so this guide was super helpful for me as a refresher on golg and the caretaker, so thanks for that!

Very good guide and well structured 🎉 Will help alot

My man Mactics coming in clutch with this video. Hands down probably the best how to video along with strats and builds. You are King 🤴

I really want to do this pantheon because Ive been wanting conditional finality/touch of malice for so long. However, I would likely have to LFG it and Im worried that because I get nervous around new folks, and have only done each encounter once, Im worried that Ill slip up and wont find an LFG that will stick around.

Fabulous video. Thanks for your service!

MAC your videos are perfectly clear and concise for new and old players, no filler and no bull. Thanks man

Excellent guide my dude!

Great info. The issue with my clan is no one wants to try and even raid, so the limited experiences some of us have is close to... Getting a secret chest to assisting on add clears

I know it’s hard but avoid shooting golden gun in a well, it reduces your damage. It does more damage by being radiant from the current artifact mods or ember of torches. So in situations like golgy wait to shoot your golden gun until you’re in a pool without a well

I think this is so cool it's a great guide I'm going to watch it a couple more times and then hopefully find a team

Ily bro keep up the good work

Thank you so much for this guide

Great video very helpful❤️

I love watching a video after beating the raid that explains that there was a free 20% damage buff that my group was to dumb to realize. Either way great vid as always!

Great video!!! Thank you!

The emphasis on VORTEX novabomb @ 24:36 lol. You can tell there's some trauma there.

Its all good until Riven comes into rotation and bungie secretly removes the cheese.

Great tutorial, I feel your strat teaching has an edge on the other creators who are utilising their old guides. Nice work, Chīsana ōkami.

One thing I found very helpful is just use either edge transit or cataphract with envious and bns, since there is a void/strand surge. They absolutely cook the bosses and make sure to rotate class abilities during dps to keep x3 class warfare up for the extra damage buff and damage resist during dps

I like the callouts Ads, Boss and Wall for LFG's since there's so many versions of the numerical :)

Running in Caretaker was so much easier and simpler than I first thought it would be, first time doing Caretaker and Atraks was in Pantheon 🙌

i have never done a raid ever in my d1 and d2 playtime! i have never had enough good casual friends who wont freak out and leave, as well have never learned any of the mechanics, which makes it even harder to be in a group 🙃 im just putting this out there cause 1. theres lots of others who are in the same boat 2. this means i never got any of those amazing raid exotics or legendaries would be nice someday to have a group of friends tho who can just play through raids and laugh. sadly i never had a group that could just enjoy the game, even the mess ups

Thank you needed this

Fantastic guides, the little changes Bungie made, along with the increased power level change make these from pretty simple easy, to need to pay attention!

What a stellar thumbnail!

the raid community is almost as toxic as the trials community there's no way I'll be able to do any of this

Goated vid tysm

I needed this so bad

Finished it last night with my clan, lots of fun

Solid guide.

mactics: “on caretaker, warlocks should use needlestorm” also mactics at caretaker: “so we have two wells right?”

What's the best roll for semiotician? Guessing field prep and explosive light?

here i was not looking forward to looking up all the individual raid guide videos for each pantheon boss and you come in with exactly how to do it! glad i can give it a shot this week

When i do planets on RON, I also give them numbers, but the numerical order is based of how far the planets are from the back of the room. with 1 being closest to the raid banner, to 6 which is the closest to the back of the room.

Loving pantheon so far, some of the raid team getting a bit frustrated but we’ve came so far doing raids just for the title. Something we never thought we could do. Hopefully they hang in there on Tomorows run!

Kind of wished they kept the fireteam finder on an app because it was way easier to get a good team then

@26:40 why do we need to specifically shoot parasite at the feet of the clone?

Wow...why are you not a 2 Million+ subscribed Streamer yet? Awesome stuff you got there.

Bro , Ur tha GOAT .! 🙌

Thanks!!!!

Edge transit with good rolls will do great, too. I've been out dmging rockets since i've been using it

I've been trying to get my clan to use that callout system for ages, and I will be rubbing this video in their faces. Thank you.

Trying to do this with randoms might have been the worst time I’ve ever had on this game. I’ve beaten golgoroth plenty of times, know all his mechanics but in pantheon we couldn’t beat him in like 3 hours. People leaving after 2 wipes, constantly killing each other with unstable light, shitty dps and im doing gaze the whole time getting molested by the taken Minotaurs and balls chasing me around. Oh and the cherry on the top, golgoroth would keep bugging out and not face the gazer, which happened too many times.

Did it twice 1st one run was brutal then 2nd one we got it down pretty easy it was alot of fun ❤

I always followed the rule of 1-2-3 and 4-5-6 in Planets but 2 and 5 were the ones near the wall and 3 and 6 were the ones at the far end, I guess I need to make some changes, because the natural order from closest to farthest from the door was the old one. Interesting that with Caretaker encounter the symbols can be activated at once by another player outside of the room without picking them up. Brute force way is the way lol Ed: I finally did my first run, this guide was useful...The LFG experience was something else 😅

Is Leviathans Breath viable as well if you dont have Izangi or dont want to use Whisper?

For Zo'Aurc and especially for this week with Void/Strand surge... if you don't have a good Void rocket, is it better to go Semiotician to get Wolfpack rounds from Gjally user or just use a godroll Edge Transit?

There’s an Ogre in the middle of the room. 😂 Elite callouts my dude! 😂

also thanks to the modifier this week make sure you are using you class ability before a dps phase so you can get a free stackable 20% dmg buff

(No Experience Needed) confirmed, my buddy did it with us. he has never raided before.

What is that crazy set up on your SMG- name and perks? Awesome!!

Say I want adept zouli bane can I just farm the orge or is it set loot on each encounter?

Does anyone know if its possible to have enough dps to cheese riven on the final weeks? From what I understand thats whats needed to get conditional finality from arcite.

What is the black diamond for on Zo’Aurc @22:07?

Can you rerun it multiple times? I assume the exotic is once, but what about the legendary stuff?

It was fun. 50 minutes to beat this weeks Pantheon. Can't wait for contest difficulty in 3 weeks.

Can u switch characters for certain encounters?

Fulltime Mactics kinda cooking

Ty for being in existence.

I’ve seen a number of your videos now and I’m super curious what your chosen traits are for the Scatter Signal fusion rifle?

Thank you for this 💕

What do you reccommend for Well Builds these days?

Are the adept weapons per character - as in I can get like 12 adept weapons per week if I run pantheon(fully) 3 times? - or are they per account - as in I can only get a max of 4 per week even after running Pantheon(fully) 3 times?

You forgot the most important thing in LFG, bring a mic and communicate

are the red boarders and spoils of conquest farmable?

For me, the true endgame is finding a group to enjoy the game with that isn't toxic

This is good, majority of causal raiders like my self are gonna struggle, but i mean the rewards are pretty damn good in return. So like my self they need to learn the mechanics and for the love a god have a dang mic cuz thats super annoying when i even list for lfg. Like how u gonna communicate on top of not knowing what to do😂

What does shooting the diamond/pyramid node in the middle do?

Did Pantheon twice yesterday.. both runs were 4 hours each with randos.. I wish I would've watched this first haha

Is there anything stopping teams from just running the first raid boss as a farm for the random adepts?

Do you edit all your videos yourself?

Every Lfg I join kicks me for not having a mic even though the listing said mic not required
