Solo The Shattered Throne No Guns (Abilities Only)

[b]Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEeXo3MNXa0[/b] Had been wanting to do this for a little while with this setup, but the last time the dungeon was here I was away for a few weeks and had to wait until it came back around again. Overall not too difficult for the most part, it's mostly a test of patience more than anything. The final boss was what I found to be the hardest section personally, the rest were pretty straight forward. It's a really long video as it takes quite a while to clear some sections while using abilities only for this, but can see the entire time it was only abilities being used. I sped up the footage in the hallway with the Snipers and the walking beams with the Ogres, as I opted to wait for super to deal with the enemies as it was the safest and most consistent way to do it. Obviously it's not a flawless run as I cut between each section and took breaks every so often, but shows the full dungeon regardless. Hunter with Blade Barrage was used for this as you can essentially have endless Throwing Knives with the Playing with Fire perk along with the dodge that gives your melee back. Ophidia Spathe also works very well when combined with all these, as you get both of your Throwing Knife charges back everytime you should be getting one. Makes everything a lot easier and the damage output high enough to handle the boss fights. Timestamps for each section are as follows, for those who just want to skip to the boss fights: 00:00 - Entrance Area 16:26 - The Descent 20:35 - Hobglin Hallway + Ogre Walking Beams 31:14 - Keeper of Petitions / Vorgeth 54:11 - Leading to Final Boss Fight 61:19 - Dul Incaru (Final Boss Fight) The boss fights themselves were both pretty sloppy and slow on this run, as I took my time to play it safe and made sure I got it done. Nearly messed up on Vorgeth and wasted a damage phase as a result, but still managed to get the clear. The recent changes to this make the Wizards a lot more annoying to deal with, particularly because they're less aggressive, run away from you and don't stagger from the damage put into them. The Vandal shields are slightly annoying, but overall not a big deal. Dul Incaru I probably could've 1 phased the boss no guns as well, but wanted to play it safe as getting a 3 stack can be pretty annoying. Ideally you'd want to save Blade Barrage for the boss itself, but because the Knights were changed and they're inconsistent with how they chase you (they often run away instead now), it can make killing all 3 of them with Throwing Knives only a pain as they will run behind cover. Did this pretty much after a month of not playing, so it was a good activity to get a feel for the game again :) [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Community/Detail?itemId=249709257]This was also accepted for MOTW voting for those who would like to vote![/url] Any other questions feel free to ask!

  • Nice job, you're vids are great for making me feel inadequate! Odd question but is there a reason this is out 5 days after reset? Did you just have trouble finding the time to edit? I've always been shocked at how quick your videos are out. A new DLC. One hour later you have a video to find all the hidden stuff. 2 hours later a video on the Endgame activities. 3 hours later and you've solo'd all the endgame, without guns, underlevelled, using a steering wheel controller. With your screen turned off. You amaze me.
