So today i beat the Nightfall in under 30 minutes, easy as hell, a lot of people have done it this week though there are those that struggle, both solo and in a full team. While i was doing the weekly heroic i came across a nice little spot that minimizes hassle from both the Boss and the Adds he spawns, i got to thinking "I wonder if i can use that in Nightfall"
Since the Nightfall was my next step anyways i figured why not, if i die then ahh well, no biggie, but sure as shit it worked like a charm, from this position you can get the boss down fast, I'm talking stupid fast. Timing from the first shot fired to the kill shot i clocked in at 1 Minute and 35 Seconds, though i have no doubt somebody with rockets could wreck him faster.
This method would work for both Teams and Solo players i think, though i'd recommend only one team member use that spot, otherwise you're drawing way too much attention to yourselves.
The death at the end was a complete derp on my part, since the boss went down i figured the enemies would de-spawn like they always do, but that skiff just wanted me dead, luckily enough since it happened after the boss went down, it still counted as a completion.
Enjoy before it get's fixed!

EDIT: "Ice Breaker" [The weapon i use in the Vid] is currently being sold by Xur! So head on over there and get that beast! it makes it so much easier.

Worked like a charm, appreciate the help!

I beat the whole Nightfall strike in less than 30 minutes...

Edited by snipe9: 10/8/2014 7:50:43 AMThere's a better spot that you run zero risk of dying or worrying about any of the mobs. If you go to the right of where he spawns in if you're looking at him there's a little platform. If you look closely there's an opening to get under the platform. If you go to the back corner of the platform there is an area where the ground covers most of your body. The boss will line up right infront of the platform and it's free reign to unload into his head until dead. If you take a few shots you can just back up or crouch until you heal. Your spot is good but this one is definitely faster. Can probably take him out sub 1 minute in this spot. Here's a video of someone showing the spot.

Nice!
-
Anyone on 360 lookin to do it?
-
and thats why we need locking doors, behind the players. The amount of vaginal wetness in this video is horrendous.

Was there no internal testing on this game. With Iron Banner being a joke, and stuff like this all throughout the game, surely this type of game mechanic was not intended. Maybe just a different game design philosophy, where devs reward creative survival. I personally don't have any problems reaping the rewards, but makes me feel a little dirty.

Completing the nightfall solo is an accomplishment. It's also a damning reminder that you need some gaming friends... This week's Nightfall was refreshingly easy, which was good for me - someone who generally struggles on them. We hammered it out twice over 2 characters in about an hour, and got some great loot for it. I don't think there's anything wrong with using these little tricks and tips to beat the damn thing - Destiny is ultimately a game about optimizing what time you have in-game, the most efficiently. So if there is a quick and efficient way to work through a portion of the game that makes sense, why not use it over doing it normally which could potentially take up almost double the amount of time?

Most people knew about it but didn't want to post in hopes it would not get patched.
-
I usually sit on the lower part of the ledge right where you were because it blocks basically all incoming damage and you can shoot at him with no trouble from his minions.
-
Is it easy enough for a lvl 27 to solo?
-
check out my post suggesting a sign language for people to find others in-game for specific missions: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/72210630/0/0/1 needs exposure to work, so post a comment and like it!

Nice job! However, I think it's best to do the nightfall strikes before the weekly heroic. This way, you get an additional 100 rep for doing the heroic since you have the bonus XP. But, to each their own!
-
Under the platform would be easier, barely any damage from anything there.
-
Lol, beat the archon priest solo for the weekly from roughly the same location. If only I'd known that ledge right next to me had no invisible barriers....
-
The cheapest would be under the platform. This is less cheap.

Edited by Force58: 10/9/2014 1:50:19 PMWell I solo'd this last night and used that same spot by accident as I thought you had gone further up the back rock wall. I even had my 12 year old try to find the video while I was playing to make sure...I didn't want to go looking myself and then end up in orbit for non-activity. I just brought 4 special ammo packs and sniped him to death. I jumped from the drop off to the cliff to the left of it, pumped 13 sniper rounds into him, jumped back when it got too hot, rinsed and repeated this. Thanks again for the tip! Cheers

easy easy
-
This weeks nightfall was stupid easy with all 3 burn modifiers on.
-
Have an easier way with three people but i wont share ; )
-
no the cheapest way is to lure him to the left of that opening and nova bomb his ass over the side of the map
-
is there a way of knowing what the next weekly will be before it goes live so you can get some extra practise in? As I have avoided doing this strike as I personally don't like it, but love trying the weekly for the gear or coins.
-
Is that the rock where you can crouch and nothing can hit you
-
Stumbled across the same exact spot and ran it solo 3 times, got Hardlight, Monte Carlo and a legendary rocket launcher. I actually felt like this was one of the harder Nightfalls with all the almost 1-hit kill adds, and I've soloed every nightfall released so far.

Wp man haha

Nice dude, subbed to your channel by the way. TheJeebzMachine.
