Speaking as someone who completed their solo flawless run of GotD about an hour ago, the issue here is the union of [b]Boss Shields[/b], [b]High Health Totals for Bosses[/b] and relatively [b]Time Consuming Mechanics to Reach Damage Phases[/b]. A recent article in which Bungie devs spoke about the difficulty of the Solo run of GotD shows this was a conscious decision on their part, probably won’t be changed for [i]this[/i] Dungeon and could potentially be the norm for Dungeons moving forward: [quote]The conversation was steered into questions surrounding the Ghosts of the Deep dungeon. Players have been thoroughly enjoying the mechanics of the dungeon, the loot, as well as the revelations of the final boss room. But players are also running headfirst into troubles with the boss shields, specifically when soloing. Brian offered a bit of insight into the decision behind including a shield, noting that it was initially proposed as another mechanic. Thematically, the breaking of the boss shield matches the breaking of Hive Guardian’s shields, stopping their Supers. It was difficult to tell, but it seems as though Brian is aware of trying to keep the shield strong enough so players recognize this but also not overtuning it. “Solo and solo flawless are going to be among the most challenging achievements in Destiny,” Brain said. “We really wanted to preserve the aspiration or that accomplishment.” The raid and dungeon team didn’t want Ghosts of the Deep to be as equally hard alone as with a fireteam, but they also didn’t want it to be exactly three times as hard. This questioning of dungeon difficulty also reached Brian’s ears on the release of Duality. The dungeon introduced some of the more raid-like mechanics players have seen in dungeons and some no doubt struggled. However, the team is glad that there are varying degrees of challenge and mechanic-heavy dungeons, giving players of various preferences something to enjoy. Additionally, after Duality, the team made a decision to move away from the teleportation mechanic due to its buggy nature and the difficulty in trying to resolve it.[/quote] The full article can be found here and offers some interesting insights as to the underwater/bubble mechanics introduced this Season: https://www.shacknews.com/article/136140/destiny-2-story-dungeon-interview-2023?amphtml=1 While I was able to find a [i]decent enough[/i] build and settle on a set of best-practices to increase my survivability, the difficulty of this Dungeon for the solo player in particular feels constraining in terms of reducing the number of viable builds if one wants to solo the Dungeon in a reasonable length of time. I’m really glad I was able to get my Emblem done and out of the way, and hopefully the devs will be open to feedback on this issue when designing future Dungeons so that they can strike a better balance for the solo player without having to drop it down to GoA/ST levels of difficulty.

I wouldn’t mind her massive health if it was decoupled from her annoying dodgy-ness and random teleportations. It’s just not fun (for those who think what we’re saying is that “it’s too hard”).

The end boss fight is a grind ,we did it in master and never again . just to long of a bullet sponge boss with 10k respawning ads none stop . Its hard on the eyes bungie seriously. You need to tone the ads way the heck down,cause this stuff is crap city.

I 4 phased Echtar and 5 Phased the Necromancer(she survived the 4th with half a centimeter of health)on my solo flawless run It doesn't take 6-10 phases lol

Levi's Breath but 6-10x is pretty excessive. I think I did 5 phases at most

honestly haven't tried the solo here yet i die using finishers a lot and finishers are required for that dungeon. So not interested in losing flawless to a bug. Best of luck though, just block the toxic ppl.

Bump

Bonk Titan arbalest and a rocket worked for me and a friend.

What does arc resist/concussive mods and Riskrunner have to do with the bosses health?

[quote]doing a dps phase over and over 6-10 times to do solo is not fun when 2 arc resist, concussive, and riskrunner is not enough.[/quote] And what are you using for damage? Or should we talk about how you seem like a dedicated PvP player

Total load out fault. You need arby and a rocket takes a few phases but fights very easy.

Arbalest and a decent rocket launcher with tracking and explosive light, I’ve been using Blowout because my Hothead doesn’t have tracking. Also before go for the last symbol switch to a chest piece with three reserve mods, fill up on heavy and switch back.
