The hardest part of this mission is when you get to the damage phase and the boss mechanic fails, repeatedly softlocking you in the encounter and wiping being the only strat to escape 😂
That happened to me the first time I tried it’s self locked. I couldn’t do anything no ads responding no nothing so when I went to orbit, no checkpoint I had to start from the very beginning.😂😂😂😂😂😢 oh well I’ll try again after work today😊
I've tried this mission over 5 times now, and every time I get softlocked at the red wall phase and just can't ever get the thing to spawn. It's wild- I really wish I knew wtf caused it to happen because it's not a tough mission, but my god it sucks to have that happen.
I ran it again today flawless and thought "bet it soft locks me again".. managed to finish it solo flawless so either I got reeeeeal lucky or I managed to do enough damage as that seems to be the most common response on threads as to why it does that..
Those 2 portals aren't "bait portals" - they're there to help players maneuver around when being chased by the tormentor in such a small space so you can also get the drop on him
I tried solo (before finding this guide) and made it to the final boss arena...knew I couldn't do it solo, so returned to orbit, thinking it would save my checkpoint...I was mistaken
That awkward moment when mac shows you the right way to go through the area with the first teleporters. because i was positive i had a "wrong equation, right solution." Moment lol
It’s an auto rifle but feels nothing like an auto rifle. If you ADS, it does increased precision damage (20-25k per shot without buffs). If you hip-fire, it’s the wyvern blaster
Thanks Mantics for the step by step. Sharing it as it’s so good. I was using a machine gun and then rocket launcher but after a couple of days and lots of hours got the Sleeper Simulant from the tower monument and used it. Worked a treat. I just wasn’t doing enough damage which caused it to bug out. The end boss was tough for this average player doing solo. Thanks. It’s done now. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have the slightest idea what's going on (I'm just a Warframe viewer) But to answer that question you had regarding "is there a space for build guides for warframe with my quality?" Well it's not a build guide, but watching this makes me think you'd be great at explaining Warframe stuff in a similar light
The mission is coll if a bit lengthy, but the buff mechanic really upsets me. You can softlock yourself if you pick up the yellow buff and then go grab yhe node bencause of how long it takes the walls to spawn, and the section where you have to run from the wall will randomly wipe you if you are too fast and the whole point of that section is to be fast! Thanks for the awesome video Mac. The stream was great yesterday!
The hardest part of the mission is having the motivation. Tip I found: at the end of the tormentor + subjugator fight, explore if you are low. There a places you can go and not be found.
I ran a prismatic warlock with getaway artist. Autumn Wind with Demolitionist and Vorpal. Aberrant Action with Heal Clip and Incandescent and Dragon's Breath. I did it the first day with no guide and it took me about 90 minutes. I know I'm a trash player, but I felt that was not terrible having to figure out all the puzzles as I went. I was by no means flawless. I actually really enjoyed this mission going through it figuring everything out. It was a lot of fun.
The mission is super easy. I went in with a random build. Was running kinetic and void. No problems at all. Hardest part was honestly to find the "entrance" after being dropped into the misson. Luckily at some point it showed me where to go 😂
Same, the hardest part for me was avoiding the softlock boss bug. It happened the first time then I swapped to my raid dps build and broke the health gates so it would bypass the bugs
dude thank you so much. these missions are not easy for me and i normally play solo as my pals dropped destiny ages ago. hate that bungie made this and starcrossed required to continue story content. your starcrossed video got me thru for normal and expert solo. tried to do FTF for this one and it was a pain so pulled up your video and locked in to do it solo. unfortunately i got soft locked at the boss so wasted my time 😩 but thx to your vid i know I'll be able to get it done whenever it isn't bugged
Yeh I'm a solo player too and it sucks that I can't actually continue the story cos I aint good enough, so all these months playing and I can't finish the storyline cos of this crap
I’m glad they made this mission more about actually being able to kill stuff than making it boring like a raid just doing dumb puzzles for hours. Bungie cooked with this one for sure.
I had the same thought process but I just solo’d it on expert a couple of minutes ago. The thing that helped me the most was only engaging the boss on the middle platform. I would get the plate on either side to 100 then go back to the middle and damage there. When a Minotaur would spawn it would spawn back at the plate and I could burn it down before it got to me all the way in the middle.
Also the adds that spawn are not infinite, and will stop spawning after you kill enough of them or trigger a phase on any of the 3 sides. Just gotta take it slow.
@@JesusGutierrez-uk2cu Thanks for the advice Jesus. I watched a vid that showed using Whisper of the Worm was a good strategy. I tried it even though I am very weak with sniper rifles. I was able to complete the mission on regular mode. I did not use my super against the boss just in case I need it for the Minotaurs. Fortunately, they did only teleported beside me once and I was able to use the super to deal with them.
The hardest 0art for me was the starting Parkour puzzle. Only died a few times during it though. Then didn't die again until the firewall part cause I stood still too long looking at it thinking a boss was about to show and at the final boss cause he bugged out the first time and stayed shielded. Really fun quest honestly
I have none of these exotics, so the boss fights took way longer, especially the final boss. Too easy to make a mistake and have to do it all over again, sigh.
Your the only person who would actually explain how to avoid that bug thank you Mactics that’s the only reason I came here to see if you explained how to avoid the bug so thanks ❤
@@justcallmenessif you’re having a real hard time. Make sure you’re using a fire weapon with heal clip if you’re not already. Leave some ads for you to heal real fast. For the two Minotaurs at the ends. Pop transcendence and unload your strongest weapon after throwing your grenades. That’s how I got through it and I was running Hunter without a way to heal besides orbs and heal clip. ( solo) first run. Ito will help if the weapon you’re using is void so it’ll pop both shields at once. Not necessary but will help.
@@justcallmenessIt's simple. Save your super or transcendance until they spawn. Immediately you get the boss past the first line in it's health bar, the two minotaurs will immediately spawn so just either pop transcendance or your super or you use your lmg and start spamming. What I did the second time in completed the mission on warlock was that I placed the stasis turret before I got the boss past the first line so it froze the minotaurs for me and I then beat them. For my hunter class, I just turned around and started spamming until I killed them.
I felt it was a little too easy my deaths all came from trying to find secrets and trying to avoid the main path because I thought it would be a trap but it wasn't. I haven't played on higher difficulty yet though I think the combat might be a bit rougher at least.
@@terribletimes902without a doubt it’s one of the easier if not the easiest exotic mission which is a bit of a problem I was within the hour of the mission out able to solo flawless without much knowledge of wtf to do and managed to do that within like 30ish mission give or take, and I just miss when exotic missions were IG difficult? I mean they’ve always had their set difficulties don’t get me wrong, but I remember struggling a bit with some older exotic missions like OG zero hour for example I don’t mind when missions or activities are made easier/ causal, but it should still be some level of “oh shit I have to be careful, or I’ll f*ck up and ruin the whole encounter from the beginning” and not “yeah so ima just do whatever and without learning much I magically completely the encounter or the active” as a whole doesn’t really get me motivated to do that said thing if it’s an easy snore fest tho I must say the vex module mechanic is chiefs kiss and actually like it a lot wasn’t to annoying or weird to understand and get use to (p.s sorry for the 1 am yap I just really wish it wasn’t the acts' opener mission when it isn’t that strong of a opening to me at least imo)
@@Reytomarz I think it was fine for what it is and you have to keep in mind it's a mandatory quest people have to do so if you do make it hard to the point where it would satisfy you then for a much more casual player it would mean the end of the seasons for them and they would probably put the game down to play something that doesn't make them clock in which would mean even less players then we already have right now
I finally got to the final boss, got the boss down to less than fifty percent, red walls came up, killed monitor, got buff, went through portal, killed enemies but the boss was up in the ceiling not in front of me. bungie strikes again. Thanks for your vid it works.
I didn’t even know you could skip that whole jungle part, I’ve been trying to go for transient whisper as well as a solo flawless run and that literally made it a billion times easier lol
Matics, You are fucking awesome to break things down like this. Other content creators don't break it down they speed things up and don't hand hold us (idiots) but you let us know step by step so everyman can do it. I wish my channel did what you do for D2 as I could do for WoW SOD Rogues.
Did it solo thanks to your tutorial. Took me about an hour on Warlock. Didn't use your swaps to solar subclass. Changed to Dragons Breath RL though for final boss ❤
Thank you so much. The boss kept soft locking on me since i wasn't doing enough to push the phases. Switching to golden gun put in some work. Didnt use sleeper, but Red Death kept me topped off through the final phase.
Love your solo runs. It would be nice if you did a run showing not taking all the shortcuts and super high dps damage phase on final boss for those not running a hunter. Thank you for always doing great content.
Lots of Whisper vibes from this one. Not quite as good but I still liked it. I think it's engaging enough yet not too difficult for lots of people to get a solo run.
Bro you are absolutely awesome 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻you’re a true Guardian! Your walk through is perfectly explained and then letting Benny join to piggyback the spoils of war off of you😂😂😂 super awesome bro Thanks for sharing your content
I had the TAMPER vex conflux dissappear once, but got it done solo last night. Only took me 2 1/2 hours to figure out the mechanics and a couple dozen deaths. It is not too bad and very doable solo. I used Red Death a lot to stay alive.
I don't know why but my Sleeper does NOT chunk the boss like yours does in the video, so I am being forced to multi-phase this which like you said is a pain having to get around those walls. I broke out my old reliable "1K voices" for the job, hits harder than the sleeper but still nothing like what you are doing in the vid. Regardless, thanks for the video, helped a ton getting up to the boss fight.
The mission is easy apart from the end boss, on expert his attack kills you ridiculously quickly, and as a solo titan we have no constant healing like warlocks, so i keep dying when trying to shoot him
If you go to the middle platform and damage him from there his shots will miss like 90% of the time. The crescent piece of debris on the left side and the big block on the right next to the ledge are good cover.
Solo'd it after watching you muddle through your first run. Overall, it seems pretty easy to solo. The call was the all-star pick for guns. If you can dodge the boss bug, Its really pretty straight forward. Played Matadoxia priz lock
Did this solo on expert on my warlock. Tried to do it solo on my hunter on expert, and the tormentor subjugator duo were just too much by myself regardless of build and load out. I tried microcosm, i tried still hunt, i tried edge transit, I tried rockets, I even tried to use Outbreak and play the long con. The second tormentor room is freaking TORTURE. If you die you get thrown in there with the tormentor and cabal basically already aggro and attacking you, and if you try to throw a flag down you are basically guaranteed to die before you finish the animation and rally. Even trying to change loadouts, just assume you're getting killed in the menu. On my warlock, I crutched the getaway artist prismatic turrets HARD lmao. I feel like that build is far and away the best general purpose load out in the game for pve, cause you can still use song of flame and whatever dps you want and the turrets are so effing good for aggro and cc. A tip on the microcosm recommendation: it hits WAY harder against the subjugator than the tormentor. Like, you can melt it to threshold in one mag on expert without even popping super beforehand. However, on expert I've found the tormentor just kinda laughs at everything, ESPECIALLY that second and third phase. And his suppression attacks make using supers for damage a bit of a risk, cause if you pop goldie, song of flame, etc it's hard to stop and do damage while keeping enough distance so he won't slam. I think microcosm might still be the best option for him solo cause you don't have to ADS or do any swap rotations like bait and switch. It was pretty challenging for me to do solo, but I got it done. I think it took me deadass like two or three hours. The Hydra boss was just a bunch of mechanics, if you've fought one hydra you've fought them all. But man, even on normal that tormentor and subjugator duo halfway through is the most annoying part of the entire activity. And the lack of any checkpoint forcing you to do it all in one sitting is not my favorite either.
Great mission for sure. Any build ideas building around the Choir of One? I'm assuming I could just replace whatever I normally use in any void builds?
New sub here. Sadly I got to the last part and fell off the edge and gave up, lol. How does kinetic scavenger help? Since primary ammo is now infinite, you're no longer picking up ammo for that weapon. What am I missing?
I will never be good enough to do this but it does look interesting. Too many times doing the same thing over and over again. Better be the best gun ever to make this worth it.
Once again great instructional video but like most things in d2, you have to do other missions to get exotic weapons that make solo missions like ting this mision his possible. I don't have the microcosm, I haven't done ascent, dissent and iconoclasm but once and if I do, I'll attempt this mission. Any advice on completing this mission without that weapon?
Edit-thank you, I'm thankful to successfully get past it. Thx I ended up with the red buff locked out into the main area with no buffs to access. Guess I have to restart. I didn't get the second conflux
22:02 the checkpoint for this spot is weird. If you die, you'll spawn here in the final room and there's a rally flag...BUT all the enemies will already be active and immediately start shooting the second you revive. You have NO time to react. I panicked, switched to one of my prismatic loadouts while I was dead, respawned, and fought a VERY prolonged battle. The Subjugator isn't even dangerous, he's just really annoying. I was constantly running in circles, dodging ice crystals and picking off adds, finally killed the Subjugator, then I was able to focus on the Tormentor. Kind of exhilarating, but also a huge pain in the ass. Don't think I'd wanna do it again.
Bro there a glitch spot near the entrance if ya jump high to the left of the doorway if you go to one of the jutting out wall pieces the boss will just look at you while you shoot him I’m trying to beat on my own and having a bad time… 😢
