I've been looking for people to "raid" with, and had found multiple people, but they would immediately boot me as soon as I told them I had never done a raid before. So I quickly found out that no one likes a raid virgin, so I decided to take it into my own hands* and try to see how far I could get solo.
Even trying my hand at HARD MODE now, as a level 31!
I am playing as a level 31 Titan with Defender Subclass, however, the first time I attempted this and was successful, I was a level 30. So I'm sure it's possibly at even lower levels.
These videos were done on February 5th, 2015 after the 29th patch, I will continue to use these methods every week, and if one becomes obsolete in the future, I will create an updated video for that part.
It's surprisingly easy, and please, enjoy & share.
[b][u]I'd like to add that I also am trying to do this with easily obtainable gear, I'm not saying that "Dragon's Breath" isn't great, but if you notice in the videos, I try to use it as little as possible just to prove it can be done with non-exotics.[/u][/b]

I'm using a Titan to do this, getting to this ledge, I believe, is only possible as a Titan, however you CAN solo the lamps with a Hunter pretty easily as well, simply turn invisible, run to the lamp, jump on top, wait for invisibility to recharge and continue doing that for every lamp along the path. You have enough time to let invisibility recharge before the lamp explodes.[/quote]

The subclass perks remain the same as in "The Abyss". I'm using a Titan, however I'm pretty sure this is possible as a hunter, simply follow the video that DOESN'T despawn the thrall, and instead of jumping where I jump from before "sword dancing", get on the higher part, just to the right of where I jump from.[/quote]

[quote][b][u]Chest Number 1[/u][/b]
This one is EXTREMELY easy, it can spawn in multiple doors throughout the entire section, but it's easiest to check the first door to your left from the starting plate, and then follow that wall you hit, "into" the abyss, towards the first lantern. If it's not there, wipe and repeat.
[i]Video Coming soon...[/i][/quote]

You're on a timer here, so you have to be quick, the Shriekers have an invisible wall up that you can't pass until you destroy them, from my experience the timer is set at 60 seconds, as well as there is a proximity sensor that will start the door to close when you come into close proximity of the first Shrieker. So remember, be quick, and ruthless

Add snotsizzle on xb1. I would like to raid with you sometime.
-
Where's Crota?
-
I solod ur mum.

Over at the "SausageParty" on the PS4 we love virgins. We always need help as we like to figure out our "own" way of doing things. Let me know if you want to play we'll help just about anyone. We helped a random guy yesterday do his first Vault of Glass run although he quit at Atheon lol.
-
Going to check it out later.
-
Well done, you are clearly a much better player than those twits that wanted experience only.
-
I've managed to solo "The Abyss" on Hard Mode as well! I'm still only a level 31, and the technique is the same, original post has been updated with a link, and here is the link to the video as well. http://youtu.be/LO8ZJdSQBX0

Every time I find a group they leave after one attempt.
-
Do you think a hunter could do this
-
I totally relate to what you explaned (Raid Virgin). I did not think it would be possible to solo Crota's End. I am a Lvl 31 Hunter. I have Icebreaker (my only exotic weapon w/ solar damage). I'll try to follow your steps. Some of those jumps might be impossible for me as a Hunter though. Great job! Inspiring... Keep the good fight and thanks for sharing.
-
Bump for later. If I find it interesting, I'll give real bump.
-
The cheese is real
-
Original post had been better organized and condensed. The Bridge using the despawn method is now just 1 video. http://youtu.be/QFZ_qkEz0mY
-
Good job
-
Edited by Timmie: 2/5/2015 3:33:54 AMUpdated original post with an alternate way to solo the bridge, without despawning the thrall, good for classes other than the Titan, since the Titan can jump higher. Link here as well [url=http://youtu.be/tmiYL3ahAY8]The Bridge (Without Despawning Enemies)[/url][

No one likes a virgin...taking it into your hands... My gosh, too much information? XD Either way nice job!
-
Nice job dude! It gives me the inspiration to run it solo.
-
Sorry man. Ps4
-
"Well nobody likes a virgin, so I decided to take it into my own hands" I lol'ed. Good job btw.
-
If on xbox 1 feel free to add Cindot I'll raid with you
-
Cool stuff, there seems to be a growing number of Destiny players who want to solo these things. I'm gonna give this a go, I solo nightfall every week.
-
If you need w raid buddy, feel free to add me. Hedgesung

Edited by sorrybenmf: 2/5/2015 12:57:26 AMHey guys I've been looking for a firm raid group for a while. Who's interested in starting one up with me? You're all invited including OP given your particular set of skills. Skills you have earned over a very long career. Skills that make you a nightmare for all of the hive I must also say I am on ps4!
-
I applaud you for going in somewhay blind and fuguring it out. As a raider myself. My advice learn the cheeses. Its incredible simple to solo. Deathsinger is mean tho unless you got the jellyhorn you cant solo it
-
Here join me on Fridays we do both raids hard atheon but we could help a newbie raider out
-
Nice.
