Solo'ing All 4 Raid Entrances At 390 (VoG, CE, KF, WotM)

They did leave it at Patrol level however, so nothing really changed there. Crota's End I just linked the full raid too, but you can see the entrance at the beginning. King's Fall I included solo method for flying over the Tomb Ships Jumping Puzzle and getting up to Totems. Wrath of the Machine is just the entrance itself and a quick run through the first jumping puzzle + chests. In terms of difficulty, [b]from easiest to hardest[/b] in my opinion it would be: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXDEx2p6BiE][b][u]Crota's End (The Abyss):[/u][/b][/url] This one is definitely the easiest of them all; by quite a margin. You can do it in a plethora of ways (sword flying over/lamp skips), and even just running through alone isn't so bad. Isn't too much difficulty in this, but it is a good starting points if you wish to learn to solo raids! [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYT1CfFsrn4][b][u]Vault of Glass (Raise The Spire):[/u][/b][/url] The VoG entrance is a rather large step up from Crota's End "The Abyss". While it remains at level 26 for patrol reasons, level doesn't really take a play in the difficulty here. There's a large amount of both RNG and situational awareness required for this. From the top of the map is the only real vantage point to be able to get an angle on *most* Praetorian's, and from there you have to be quick in spotting and killing any that spawn. May not seem like too much, but it can get very chaotic rather quickly. Also due to it being patrol, you can have solo runs "ruined" by others players coming into the zone and helping ([i]although the thought is appreciated to those who did![/i]) [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSuGSPzmEsY][b][u]Wrath of the Machine (Enter The Wall):[/u][/b][/url] Again, another decent step up from the previous entrance - but this time I wouldn't say as large as from CE to VoG. It is a big increase from the Normal Mode WOTM Entrance though - 2 Gjallarhorn shots not killing the Shanks makes a big difference. This is a very fast paced fight and it may take a bit to get the hang of. And while you do need to be fast, the real focus is actually keeping on top of all the large Shanks spawns. It's also the longest of all the entrances due to the nature of it, however it's the most forgiving too because it has an unlimited timer you can work with. So you can take either 30 minutes or 30 hours if you really wanted ([i]I do not suggest doing this[/i]) - so long as you stay in the instance you can keep going. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN34G8JauMo][b][u]King's Fall (Open The Portal):[/u][/b][/url] Of all the 4 raid entrances, this is by far the hardest of the lot. It has the biggest learning curve, requires the most perfect play of them all, and it requires the Phalanxes to play nice. For me this felt like the hardest of them all and it personally took me the longest. It took a while to get a feel for the fight and the timings, and particularly getting the launch jump across too. But out of them all, I also find this the most enjoyable! Nothing quite beats the feeling of using Phalanx launches to get around game mechanics, and the satisfaction of completing this one far surpassed the rest. The Tomb Ships Jumping Puzzle w/ Sword Flying across is also pretty fun to do in itself - so King's Fall has a big win for me in that regard. ================================== It's kind of funny how solo'ing the raids has changed with Age of Triumph; it used to be that every final raid boss was soloable and that was the one constant through all the raids. Now that has changed and 3/4 of the 390 final bosses are impossible to be done solo, and the one constant throughout the raids are now the entrances. From a solo 390 raids perspective too, this pretty much wraps up all that is currently possible being completed. Any questions feel free to ask!
