Since Rise of Iron came out, it made Solo Oryx on Titan possible. This is due to two primary reasons: Bomb damage doing significantly less to players, and the other most important reason: Touch of Malice keeps Oryx's chest "open" longer than normal weapons. Keeping his chest open longer means that if you do a certain amount of damage, his chest will remain "open" longer for the bombs to actually hit him and do damage (it's a fairly high threshold though).
So overall, you no longer require perfect timing on shooting Oryx to keep his chest open while swapping to sword and detonating bombs. It also gives a lot more leeway with damage taken now, making the solo entirely possible.
This has been "theoretically" possible in TTK, however back then the timing was much tighter and bomb damage obviously higher. The biggest issue before was keeping his chest open longer for the bombs to do damage while sword blocking. We knew a while back that Sleeper Simulant kept his chest open for ~4 seconds after hitting it, and the same with Celestial Golden Gun. Neither of which were realistic for use on a Titan (you don't have GG obviously, and can't swap from Sleeper to Sword in .5s / heavy ammo restrictions). But now that Touch of Malice does the job, it has become significantly easier.
This ended up taking me about 1-2 hours on normal mode to get it - I practiced a little on Hard Mode prior as I couldn't get a NM checkpoint. Hard Mode is where the real challenge is at though! His chest doesn't stay open as long (requires you to do more ToM damage) and Knights mess up your overshield all the time - basically timing is a lot more brutal and damage taken is rough too. Will be working on that next.

[b]Full credit to SpartansTheOne who was the first to kill this, and killed it last night, but doesn't have a YouTube VoD: https://www.twitch.tv/spartanstheone/v/102848828[/b] - we use pretty much the same strategy here.

27 RepliesThank you for saying screw you to that guy who said warlock's were the best, because they had soloed everything with their little extra life crutch. [spoiler]Nothing against warlocks or the guys who play them, especially not the solo raiders, but the classist segregation bugs me.[/spoiler]

wow executed flawlessly!

Well done

Good job! Fun to watch.
-
Lol why did oryx open his chest at the end like ten seconds early?
-
Is armour of light necessary to survive the bomb detonation? If so, can it be substituted with force barrier? Also, amazing job #TitanMasterRace

7 RepliesThe legend himself Sc Slayerage already did this. Smh.

Glory be to the Titan order! Glory be to you!

Absolutely great to watch. I wish it was possible to solo all the raids entirely. Dealt good to solo crota raid all the way through.
-
This is stupid to do, but is still amazing nonetheless.

That's all fine, but . . . . . . . did you T-Bag him?

4 RepliesI once thought only Warlocks could Solo Raid Bosses (except Atheon, maybe the Templar, and most definitely Ir Yut and Crota... everybody can solo these). You have proven me wrong. You and SpartansTheOne are Gods. But alas, the Vex do not follow such gods. See you in Destiny 2.
-
How do you survive the detonations? Sword block? If so then I actually thought of this a few days ago, nice job!
-
All that... For a helmet. [spoiler]that was awesome though[/spoiler]
-
Great job.
