After the 335 update, a 335 Sleeper can stagger Oryx on HM which made it possible for a hard mode kill.
There's 2 primary strats being used for this, one was the double Fusion Grenade much like the normal version. I used the Firebolt/Sleeper shot which makes it a bit easier to group the Ogres for the 4 stack.
The primary difference from normal mode vs hard mode solo'ing is the speed in which you need to kill the ogres and detonate bombs. The light-eater knights come out extremely fast, meaning you have a very small window to get the bombs off before the knights eat them.
The Ogres health pools also don't work as nicely as normal mode did, requiring additional Primary shots in order to get their health low enough if you're using the Fusion Grenade strategy. This means you have to stay up top and shoot all 4 Ogres to get them lower before jumping down, making timing a lot more rushed. On Normal Mode the Sniper shots were enough to get them to the right health thresholds (where a single Primary shot would kill them).
Along with the ammo nerf for special, it makes ammo management a lot more difficult than before.
Requirements for this would be:
-335 Sleeper Simulant
-333-335 Warlock
-333-335 1000 Yard Stare with Triple Tap
-Starfire Protocol Chest (for extra Special Ammo, and if you're using the Fusion Grenade Strategy especially)
-Increased Sniper Ammo Boots
-Increased Sniper Reload Speed Gloves
It was a difficult challenge, spent ~20-25 hours working on this over the least week. Definitely a big step up from normal mode.
Would also like to give a shoutout to the following players who have also been attempting this and developed a lot of different strategies to get this working:

[url=https://www.twitch.tv/cl_rke]cl_rke[/url] (who also got the very first Final Stand on Hard Mode)
[url=http://www.twitch.tv/frostbyte3]Frostbyte3[/url] (who got the second Final Stand for Hard Mode, and was the world first for normal mode)

If there are any others I apologize for missing you, these are just the people I have seen working on this!
Any questions feel free to ask. Thanks!

Edited by xSendMeNewts: 5/13/2016 10:00:57 AMMost of these people commenting can't even solo a sentence.... Let alone read a full paragraph. Nice job dude. This is amazing. [i][b]Fist Hard Mode Oryx Solo[/b][/i] guys, come on. It's awesome.

Ah, this community never fails to deliver. -Guy posts video of extraordinary feat. -Roughly 45% or better of the replies are belittling remarks about how it's already been done -Every single one of previously mentioned remarks fail to provide any actual evidence to support their weak rebuttle of "so-and-so did it already" or "I saw *random player* do this weeks/months ago" and usually resort to "look it up on google/youtube" commentary, which ironically they themselves cannot produce. On a related note, excellent job OP!
-
Wow, very nicely done, Congratulations. great responses to some really helpful questions in this thread too, bravo. heres to never using the relic or getting torn between dimensions again! awesome.
-
Well done. And well done to the other guys you've mentioned too. I don't see any of the haters here pulling it off.
-
Bump for later.

Nice work OP!!!! It's a smidgen enjoyable to see all these posters who don't understand that this was for HM and NOT NM. You sir, have become legend.
-
This ain't nuthin. Did this last week. With Khvostov... [spoiler]jk, good job bro![/spoiler]
-
you seem to be getting a lot of hate and doubt... sorry for that but good job pulling that off!! you should be proud. it's definitely a feat to be wreckened with
-
Well done dude. I really can't figure out why so many people are so quick to try and put you down for this, it's pretty pathetic. World first or not its still an achievement.
-
Awesome, curious though, what made you not do 16 bomb strat?
-
Didn't the legend himself do the same thing?
-
Ignore all the buttholes. That is a ridiculous feat of legend if ever I saw one.

Edited by MonthlyMidget: 5/10/2016 7:08:25 AMIs there anything trickier about killing Oryx when he gets to final stand that's different from staggering him normally? I saw you gave shout outs to the two people that got to final stand on hard before you, and I'm just shocked that people with the skill to get to final stand end up failing it after all that. Did they just choke? Or is it somehow harder than just staggering him the other 4-5 times?
-
Phenomenal job, great game. Kudos!
