Nightfall 2/17 Solo

Finally got my elgato so no more choppy vids, guys. Hooray! This week's nightfall is The Will of Crota (Omnigul) with the following modifiers. -Epic -Nightfall -Angry -Lightswitch -Juggler I'll be using the following Fang of Ir Yut (Arc Scout Rifle) Black Hammer (Solar Sniper) Gjallarhorn (Solar Launcher) So... No burn, but lightswitch is on. On other strikes I wouldn't mind too much. However, it's The Will of Crota, a strike that I, and many others, hate. It's a very long strike with a very annoying boss and there are plenty of invisible vandals and thralls to gang up on you and kill you quick. On the bright side, there's no burn. On the not so bright side, there's no burn. While I do enjoy dealing triple damage to everything, no burn will allow me to technically be safe at long range combat for a variety of reasons. If we had arc burn, wizards, vandals, dregs, cursed thralls, thralls, a skiff (Fallen ship) and boomers would destroy you. If we had solar burn, anything with a shrapnel launcher would destroy you, not too bad, not too great. But Gjallarhorn would be super op. If we had void burn, the ogre.... yeah just the ogre would destroy you, void burn also wouldn't be too bad. Considering the length of this mission and the amount of enemies, no burn is a fairly neutral gain/loss in my opinion, because it could've been arc, and it could've been solar. I'll settle with neither. Anyways, i'll try and explain/walk through what I did now. For the first bit, I'm lazy, so I try to let the hive and fallen kill each other as much as possible. To do that, you have to clear some fallen first. You can kill all but the two major captains and to progress the next wave of fallen. After that, some shanks will appear, then some invisible vandals. Once you clear the vandals, the hive will start to spawn and you can fall back and wait it out a bit. If you hear the fighting stop, go up and see what's going on and then clear whoever won (The hive will win every time due to lightswitch). After you clear the hive the first time (only have to kill thralls and maybe a red bar knight), more hive AND fallen will spawn, so fall back and let them fight. Once eris says "Push forward, Guardian." that's your cue to camo up and run through if you're a hunter. Entering the next area causes the enemies in the first area to despawn, so you don't have to worry about them. If you're not a hunter, kill what you can and run around them. In the next bit, it's quite simple, kill fallen, run through to omnigul. Just watch out for the snipers, the shanks that can spawn on top of you, and the invisible vandals that rush you in big numbers. Just play it safe and stay back. Once the skiffs start dropping in, they'll eventually drop off an Ultra Captain named "Phyksin, King Baron." All you have to do is kill him and you can move on, just remember the floor is lava because there are lots of invisible vandals around you. Once you're in the next bit, guess what. Stay back, play it safe. Fun, right? Anyways, grab omnigul's attention, kill thrall, kill knights, kill cursed thralls. Move up, kill wizards, kill cursed thralls, kill knight in the sky. Move up, kill cursed thralls, move back, kill ogre, kill knights, kill acolytes, kill thralls. Once the room is clear, you can move up to omnigul's last stand. This is perhaps one of the slowest and most annoying boss fights, even worse than Valus Ta'aurc. Every quarter of health you take out from omnigul, she summons more enemies that make fighting her impossible and you have to kill them before you can continue to hurt her for another 25% and then just do that 4 times. Be careful though, as at some point she spawns cursed thralls behind you/to your right. Eventually, an extra boomer knight spawns too. Just deal with them safely as far away as possible and once they're clear, yo'u're relatively safe to move up a bit and fight omnigul. Lather, rinse, repeat. Hope you brought lots of heavy ammo synths. Good luck, Guardians! I'll start uploading the solo vid asap. Done soloing, took 47 minutes to do this nightfall. Painful. Uploading video now, will be up by noon.
