LEGIT 31 Titan Pit solo, Bridge solo, and Deathsinger solo (post patch)

Been documenting a solo guide running through CE (as a level 31 Striker) with no cheese for those who still want to do this raid solo after this patch. I haven't been able to solo Crota as a 31. The boomers and taking down his shield have been problematic. I just picked up my first Gjallarhorn last week though which is a game changer. If it is possible, it'll have to be as a Defender (WoL) with 331 Ghorn. [b]The Abyss:[/b] (video above) Used a max agility build with 331 MIDA (+2 agi). Aftershock, lightning grenade, and AoE melee damage makes a big difference. Essentially made it by keeping my darkness debuff down and double jumping on top of the lamps if I start getting swarmed. If your darkness clears before the Thralls catch up, go ahead and move to the next lamp. Also, something that helps is a launcher to thin the Thrall herd if I have to jump on top of the lamps. I used double jump off the lamp and shoulder charge to gain extra ground. Of course use AoE abilities if you become overwhelmed. I've also used the lamps themselves to juke Thralls and Knights if I run out of AoE abilities. At the final lamp, [u]pass the lamp to activate the bridge, circle back to the lamp and use super, Fist of Havoc (save your super when you get close to the last few lamps)[/u]. Clear your darkness, jump on top of the lamp and switch from MIDA to Patience and Time. Jump away before it blows up and stay cloaked until bridge gets built (don't sit still while cloaked, they'll get you, have to keep walking while ADS) and then make your move. [b]Bridge solo[/b] including [b]building the bridge by yourself[/b] [i](important to know after Tuesday's update)[/i]. Important notes: The sword bearer will either break right, left, or come straight for you. Ideally you'd like him to come straight for you. If he breaks right, you need to clear the thralls on the right side and then bait him to the bridge platform by standing exactly where I stood (it's an aggro sweet spot for some reason). If he breaks left, just jump off the cliff and do it again. I haven't been able to draw him to the center when he goes left. In the video, he broke right and I was able to draw him in by standing in that aggro spot. Also, you need to be building the bridge while killing him and have the sword drop right next to the platform. You'll only have 15 or so seconds to fully form the bridge after he dies or you won't make it. The only way to build bridge by yourself is to stand directly in the center of the platform (it builds faster the closer to the center you are) and time the platform dancing just right. https://account.xbox.com/en-us/gameclip/a8d014d0-df48-4bed-bc76-3b15daffbf6b?gamerTag=Apex%20of%20War&scid=37770100-f9ae-4b80-9dad-7c1d0ec14469 [b]Thrall Hallway.[/b] Important notes: Bad Juju = God Mode. https://account.xbox.com/en-us/gameclip/f58449a8-fdb3-47d6-8706-25871409e9fb?gamerTag=Apex%20of%20War&scid=37770100-f9ae-4b80-9dad-7c1d0ec14469 [b]Deathsinger:[/b] For Titans, I [b]strongly[/b] suggest Flashbangs on this. Instead of killing both wizards, then both shriekers, you will need to kill a wizard and shrieker on one side, then the other. Start on the right side, then the left. After you pull one wizard out and kill it, flashbang the melee knights at the entrance, run in and use rockets to down the shrieker. Run out and repeat on other side. This will need to be quick so make sure you're stocked on rockets and sniper rounds. Once the liturgy begins, go in the crystal room and jump on the door frame where you can unload sniper headshots into her until she's dead. Then be careful clearing the trash https://account.xbox.com/en-us/gameclip/afa5a63e-625c-4b48-bed7-d9a6137fb831?gamerTag=Apex%20of%20War&scid=03a80100-9ff3-46ea-be76-e00e7fe465df Keep bumping please, this should help many Guardians Edit 1: my apologies, linked the wrong video for the bridge section. Fixed it. Edit 2: added some additional information pertaining to the sword bearer and timing requirements. Edit 3: added additional information should the patch require the bridge to be fully constructed the entire time while crossing. Edit 4: bridge method I have provided is confirmed post patch!!! Solo on guardians! Edit 5: non cheese The Pit solo video is up Edit 6: it seems now that Deathsinger songs start as soon as you enter the area now regardless of you aggro the massive mob or not. Edit 7: new Deathsinger video up. I two shot this with full special and heavy rounds.

  • I've soloed the first 2 parts on a titan and hunter so far (don't have a lock high enough to do this with yet). It's funny - I had a hunter with fully upgraded exotic and BLUES (which put me at 27), so I solo the lamp and I get a raid piece (made me 28) then had a friend help me with 2nd bridge which got me another raid piece (now am 29), so I went from crappy blues to awesome raid gear thanks to this XD Anyway, my titan is 31 with exotic helm, but I have armamentarium (2 grenades exotic chest) that is PRE-expansion, so if I switch to it, my titan goes down to 30. So here's what I did on the lamps as a 30 titan with armamentarium: I specced almost exactly like you (aftershock, aftermath, etc.) but I used PULSE grenade instead because lightning is good only if you place it right and because the first blast of the grenade damages YOU, it's best to stay safer with a less damaging pulse grenade. I'd run lamp to lamp, waiting to drop off the weight and jumping on top, using the grenade when overwhelmed. When you throw the grenade, the thrall will not go into blast area, which gives you time to wait for darkness to drop so you can jump on top of the lamp, wait as long as possible (to give grenades time to recharge) and keep going. If neither grenade was up (happened rarely) I used a super, but I tried to save it for the end. When on top of lamps, I used bad juju to recover some of the super. At the very end, I did exactly as you (almost) I ran past the lamp, stepped on pressure plate, circled around to avoid thralls and used fist of havoc near the lamp - aftermath did its magic and thralls did not touch me, which gave me time for the weight to drop and I jumped on the rock to the right of lamp (if facing away from the bridge), from there - I pulled out my ice breaker, killed the ogre (easy - just keep staggering him with crits, but MAKE SURE the ogre does NOT drop off the back, or he'll respawn next to you and catch you off guard and kill you). Then bridge fully build, run across, piece of cake. Next is second bridge. I'll admit, on the titan I cheesed it - it is just way too time consuming to do it the proper way (by stepping on and off the plate) not because it takes longer, but because there's a lot of LUCK involved there (you have to get the swordbearer down while building bridge while avoiding his and thralls' hits - you NEED luck here). I have been able to do it the legit way, but only because I got lucky (bridge wasn't even fully formed, I was able to run half of it and jet the rest of the way). I don't want to spend 3 hours in one spot again if I can easily cheese it. That's as far as I got. The shrieker run is easy if you have heavy (kill first, back up so the purple stuff doesn't kill you, then run in with rocket launcher and 1 or 2 of those will get the shrieker down, then run back out). Don't even worry about the thralls, just kind of jump around and don't let them pile up on you. It's the next part that's impossible to do alone without high damage weapon. The song just messes everything up. If I had enough time to do it, that would be great, but I just don't do enough damage to down 2 wizards, 2 shriekers, AND a boss (deathsinger) all in like 3 minutes. I have an idea on how to try and kill Crota solo as a 31 titan without Gjallarhorn, but I haven't tried it yet (I'll be back with update). If I accomplish this, I believe I'll be the first titan to solo Crota as a 31 AND no G-horn (there's a warlock that has done it, but he had a special ability that we did not think would help and yet it did all the work - warlock's super that regenerates grenades super fast).

                  [quote]Thrall Hallway.

Perfect Balance + Crowd Control + speed reload on melee + large magazine and ridiculous RoF and accuracy basically means it should be renamed "Thrall Melter." Back Payback SOS up with a Pocket Infinity, Corrective Measure with field scout, and Saint-14 and crush the Hive's legions, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their wizards.

                    Nice guide mate, question though, would you have to use MIDA or could you use another primary with the +2 agility? I'd rather not use my pre dlc MIDA for the beginning, but I do have the SUROS with the +2 agility, and if I need to I can use Icebreaker with it. EDIT: Just saw the Deathsinger vids, awesome! My group would always have difficulty with the ultra knights as we'd unknowingly draw agro and have a frantic race against the clock to kill her.

                    • FYI, I believe the deathsinger method needs revision as, with the latest patch, she now prepares her song as soon as you enter the chamber. I may be missing something here, but wanted to point it out just in case.
