Recommend taken spec for your legendary weapons. Edited after I ran it. Use arc x 2 and may be solar x 1 for resists. Also, malfeasance absolutely rips these guys to pieces due to its intrinsic.
Vex cube you shoot after going through that diamond shaped passageway with the moving parts and chasm to the left at 8:48 will make the walking platform wider in that passageway.
I feel like grandpa when I remember just getting up to the opening hole was a challenge. Between all the added mobility skills and equipment, the traversal part of this quest is so much less intimidating.
I miss this! I stopped playing Destiny 2 before the last 1-2 expansion, I think (I mainly played it about 3-4 years ago, if I remember well). And I miss this quest so much! I loved the Whisper of the Worm, it was an amazing weapon back in the days, but I really miss this jumping puzzle experience. And maybe there were lots more things I could have done there, like the ship blueprints, that I fear I missed T_T
TY as always! I ran it solo first wo watching your guide to see how different it is from the original version and thought it was fun! Although I think it’s bugged my timer ran out and I was still able to finish it. I didn’t go in with any particular build but now watching your guide I’m gonna run it again for better time.
Thanks for this walkthrough, E. As a relatively new Destiny 2 player (little over 2 years) with no D2-playing friends, my only choices for activities are solo, or LFG/FF. I attempted this on my own after watching part of Esoterikk's video, but I tend to do better with spoken instruction. Needless to say, I didn't get very far. I really HATE the transversal sections of D2 activities, especially when they involve jumping puzzles. Ngl, they feel too long, and jumping just feels like lazy, cheap, easy and outdated level design. Hard to believe that, if we are ever attacked by races of space-faring aliens, we'll beat them by out-jumping them. 🤣 But following your guide, I got through the entire mission solo (normal) on my 3rd try. I made the mistake of calling up all 3 bosses by mistake, so I was cutting it close. BTW, I don't use snipers that much, so it was more about completing the mission, rather than getting a craftable Whisper. But I'll chalk this up to you helping me snag yet another exotic weapon. Looking forward to next week's playthrough. Thank you for your service. 😁🍻
Traversal is easy in D2 "once you know how' it's actually fun. Getting to the fun in traversal means practice, missions like Whisper/Avalon/Seraph's Shield allow you to practice your traversal skills. I have played since 2019 and it took me a long time to 'git gud' at traversal, I basically yelled at the screen, blamed Bungie and everything else for my 'skill issues.' Then one day I decided to learn how to jump in D2 with all the classes. What I found out was there were gaps in my knowledge that are not conveyed well in the game about each jump. Now I jump with freedom and confidence, and 95% of the time when I fail at jumping it's my fault. Git gud just means practice, skill issue just means you have to learn something, these are not inherently bad terms unless they are said in a disparaging tone, or by someone who has low self-esteem and wants to make themselves feel superior to you for some small dick reason. My friends in game use them a lot and laugh with each other when we need to 'git gud' or we need to resolve a 'skill issue.' I practiced my jumping a lot in the Dreaming city, just jumping from one spot to another. Was it boring? Yes. Did it pay off? Yes, in spades. :)
@@DestDisc I get what you're saying, and I appreciate your insight and advice. And you're right; Bungie doesn't do much to explain how jumping works. In fact, they don't go out of their way to explain much to new players. But I have never enjoyed jumping games. The idea that I have to stick a landing exactly to keep from dying has never been my idea of fun. It doesn't help that the jumping in D2 feels too imprecise and floaty. Playing with MnK doesn't help this. And again, I hate the level design - buildings and structures in virtually every environment built on a bottomless abyss, simply to make the game artificially "more challenging". As for traversal areas, the idea that beings who can cross the solar system, but can't come up with a means of personal locomotion other than jumping, just strikes me as odd. But then, I've played mostly single player games, because I enjoy the immersion. A good immersive game is like reading a good book. But D2 constantly reminds me that I'm playing a game. Of course, I could "git gud" at jumping if I put enough effort into it. However, there are just too many things I prefer to invest my time and effort into. Just like with aim training, I don't want to spend dozens, if not hundreds of hours into playing a game better. I play games for fun: when it becomes a chore, it loses that fun. BTW, you are also so right about those insecure people who derive their self-worth, self-esteem and sense of superiority by how well they play a game. I have way too much going on in my life to need to judge myself by such sorry standards. Anyway, because of these and other issues I have with D2 - eg, crappy loot drops, ridiculously stringent RNG, repetitive gameplay, too much required grinding - and having to play pvp matches against elite stacks with adept weapons - I'm seriously questioning if the game is for me.
I was just practicing the jumping bit on the mission today I remember when going under the green room entrance in the old mission but only when you showed it to me lol
@@WAFFENAMT1 Just got back playing and did this solo as a casual player on a Warlock. Definitely doable, just take your time. And use nova bomb for the bosses and max out whatever gives you the fastest super
The one you shoot after you come out of the sideways tunnel with the stab items is for a complete flat edge in sideways room so other players don’t slide down and die.
I’m intent on getting this done in under the old 20 minutes time limit with a badly built Crown of Tempest Stormcaller and still using a Machine Gun for the final room just like when I was trying it when it first showed up lol
I solo this mission with fusion rifle.. graviton lance and apex predator rocket tracking and bipod ..I went afk half way during a fall ..still with strand subclass as well
Just got back at the game after almost 2 years off, trying to get this done before they vault it... empty a full ammo Dragonsbreath at the first boss and hes only just past half health lol geez (1821). Cant get the last big boy past 25% before orbit.
Hey E! I really think the holster modes aren't working. I've literally run half a mission and my heavy not be reloaded after the initial shot, several times.
great guide but i couldn't finish the mission unfortunately. i did fine on all the traversal things but the combat really got me lol. just not what i'm used to i guess
Despite me being at 1944 power compared to the 1950, I started the first combat room at 25 minutes left, I am almost finished with the second room with less than 5 minutes to go 😐
Lucky pants, malf wrecks these bosses instantly, and last boss only take center back blight as it obscures your view you don't have to take blights down
I’m getting back into the game and the main combat sections feel awful. I die instantly and there are too many enemies for me to do anything. The vandals nearly one shot me and they have so much health that u can’t kill them before they kill me. And the time limit just sucks ass
Hated the jumping sections, i had to turn brightness way up and close my blinds to the scottish sun. When I got to the boss, i just steamed in, shot all 3 cubes, nonrally, then realised i had F'd up 😂
Hey don't worry about how long your introduction are Ricky K has the meme market cornered on long intro times when people start making shorts of getting 7th column vids with your introduction in the background then your catching up
Was that your first time running it? I thought something was wrong too for me but then I found out you have to do the mission once first before the oracles appear on your second attempt.
Excelllent guide. Too bad this mission is so poorly designed and loaded with bugs. I have the weapon, no quests, and no Whitenail II available to shoot. Terrific. Typical Bungie.
Glad its back but damn they changed one of the best parts , the damn music and sound is all but gone and it was so cool that creapy voice would follow you and you knew you had to get going...Its just a really big part missing and now its just an ok mission for me. Sorry to be negative but I really liked that part of the old version mission.

Remember when exotics were exotic? And "The Whisper" was a quest NOT ANNOUCED and had to actually be discovered by players? Remember when exotics weren't spoon-fed to people? ahhh the good ole days.
@parzivalplays7403 I agree. I was a new light when this mission launched and I couldn’t get it then. I felt bad but it only made me want to get better at the game. Now, part of me is happy that exotics are easier to get because I don’t always have time to play, but it also means they feel less special, especially when legendary gear is so powerful these days.
I remember back when the term “special snowflake” wasn’t thrown around politically, and specifically referred to someone gatekeeping something they earned who bemoaned anyone that earned it (perhaps more easily) after.
I solo finished it at 0:00 seconds At level 1815 just raw 7 inches of shaxx style balls on No guide for did it before but with a friend I wasn’t really going to do it without a friend but o got on to see what it was about I instantly remembered where the location was and bam I was already determined to finish it pure (butt clincher)
