I’ll definitely be using these tips for my solo. So close too paragon but was dreading this specific triumph because this dungeon is long and tedious solo, and my adhd can’t handle an hour of doing the same stuff over and over lol
Everyone talks about rockets but I've found leviathan's breath to be my favorite DPS strat. The explosion from Leviathan keeps persys locked in place the whole damage phase. It's hard to hit the crit spot but easier if you put your well right at the door between the two rooms.
Great video and explanation! Just a thing that was not mentioned: using Lunafaction against Akelous in damage phase does not only help with reload speed, but also avoids damage dropoff when he is in the center of the arena. I do not have cataclysmic, but with taipan the difference was pretty significant.
Hey, just wanted to thank you very much for the guide, mainly for the last boss. I've been trying the dungeon with hunter for like 3 days and no luck, and now I just got it almost flawless first try with warlock lol. Without you probably guardian rank 11 was only a dream.
Glad to hear! I know for hunters they have the least survivability to me, but they have the ability to do a lot of damage. Once starfire gets nerfed though it'll be much harder for warlocks! But hey I'm not complaining since the warlock meta is kinda stale at this point.
3:07 I don’t know if it’s out at the time but the LFR from Root is much better for trying to max dmg then Cat, it has surrounded which is a 50% increase when activated and enhanced, which outside bait, plus a good way to stay surrounded is to not kill the ads below the dmg area as they can count for it
died at the opening area but didnt restart because i thought there would be no way that i would solo flawless it on my first try. yeah i really should have restarted. i ended up not dying the entire rest of the run. i would have had solo flawless on my first attempt in under an hour..... i am beyond pissed at myself
Think of it as a warm up not restarting is a good way to get a hand of the mechanics and practicing certain parts before doing it for real so I’m sure you’ll get it again
RIP firepower orbs :'-(. Gone as of the mid-season update ime as a Titan. Waiting for Bungie Support to fess up to this past their comment in the forums.
I used solar warlock, with thunder lord with the catalyst of course. 5 phased, safe, used thunder lord almost the entire encounter. With the right mods you won’t run out of ammo. Ez, and most of all, safe. I tried using rockets for 2 hours and would keep dying..
All in one go, even if you get error coded. Im not sure if thats part of the bug thats happening with it, and about to be fixed, but for now it has to be all in one session.
Thanks for this, taipan is my only lfr option as I only recently got into raiding thanks to my friend. This will be my last step until I hit 11. So fingers crossed I can get it done tomorrow.
I've done it on all characters solo flawless, and decided I needed a new challenge to set myself so I tried doing the whole dungeon Blindfolded, would you believe I did it solo Blindfolded on my 3rd run!!
The mechanics of this dungeon are so boring to me... I have soloed flawless every single dungeon but this one. I think I'm gonna pass on it. Sadly this is the only achivement I'm missing to reach Guardian rank 11 lmao.
With void being the burn a gyrfalcon hunter with funnel web, taipan crafted, plus S20 artifact mods will make this easier then wellock I think. edit: like everyone else assumed i should know normal doesn't have a burn, I assumed everyone else would know i talking about master when i mentioned the void burn, im running it on master. I made this comment thinking out loud to see what other commenters thought.
@@ItsNausicc yea I tried this on Warlock yesterday but I can't get akelous eyes killed fast enough to have a decent damage phase, gonna have to use arcstaff hunter so I can atleast get the super off
Anyone who is rank 10-11 shouldn’t need a guide to solo a dungeon imo. Being guardian rank 11 is meant to be a display of talent and that you are some of the best players in the game. Not saying the video is bad, it’s useful since bungies system is flawed. The ranks really should include some pvp and more solo activities
@@ItsNausicc I mean yea lol go for it lmao. Like I said it’s a good video and would be perfect if not for the fact that people would struggle with this at the maximum displayable show of skill. Kind of sad
Kinda disagree, being rank 10-11 is the culmination of a guardian's dedication and achievement, not a display of talent or skill. For example, in competitive games like CSGO they have two systems of displaying your skill and dedication, for skill, at the highest echelons, Global Elite is a display of one's talents & skill (if you haven't cheated) For dedication, there's your simple CSGO levels. You gain xp for simply just playing, and at the end of level 40, you reset your rank and gain a badge. "You're dedicated, we recognize your continued participation so here's a cool badge for 2023." Guardian ranks are much like the latter. The corporation of Crucible and PvP activities in Guardian ranks would change its definition and it would become skill and dedication like you mentioned. It would be very nice if somehow they also incorporated Crucible ranks from competitive crucible alongside displaying guardian ranks or somehow switch between them, then people can fully recognize your skill & dedication, and people would recognize which people prefer playing PvP vs. PvE based content.
Heavily disagree. The problem is not soloing a dungeon, most skilled/veteran players can solo a dungeon fairly easily on their own. The problem is that this shitty fucking dungeon is a nightmare to solo.

Took me almost 4 hours but I got it done just in time for my birthday. Thx for the guide

Great video. But take a breath after each sentence, I got out of breath just listening to you 😂
very very good video, builds, loadouts, tips and techniques. You got a like champ, keep up the grind!

Yea, this was pre-lightfall. So this was dps meta before Ron weapons
This saved me from hours of pain! Got it done thanks fam ❤
Omg dude I freaking did it! This dungeon took me like 4 hours 😭😭. Thanks for the guide man
W man
bungie should add matchmaking to raids and dungeons.. Not every1 have friends to play with..

Unfortunate. You got it fr next time 100%!!!

That's because you got rid of the pressure.
How come when I switch loadout my energy grenade launcher doesn’t have ammo?
Odds are you are swapping from a primary ammo weapon. Special weapons only get ammo if you swap from other special weapons.
Im gonna be honest i judged you for putting your rank in the title but immediately felt stupid when i clicked and saw the word "Task" lmao
That damage got me jealous. I gotta try this.
Practice my brother! You got it!
I tried just that but my game crashed 10 times with no avail
Isn’t Focused fury better then bait and switch on the cataclysmic ? Or should i change it on mine
Bait n Switch is 15% better and easier to prock (20 With Focused and 35 on BnS)
If the server stability allowd me, I may get the Triunf
Well explained, this work fine to me on April 23 2023
Can I just do the boss cp solo ? For the Guardian rank ?
It unfortunately requires a full run. Checkpoint clears don't count
RIP firepower orbs :'-(. Gone as of the mid-season update ime as a Titan.

Just rage quit Akelous, 6-8 damage cycles is disgusting but I'll get it. Great video though, some really nice tips.

Does winterbite still melt this boss?
The wintertime bug works on every boss. But you need multiple player for it to work
@@ItsNausicc thanks buddy
Can you complete the solo spelunker by just beating the boss only by a check point?
No, unfortunately it has to be the whole dungeon at once
@@differentmoves good looking out, was just gonna try this when I got home, you saved me about an hour thanks.
Do you have to do it all in one sitting or can you leave a checkpoint then come back to it and finish and still get the triumph for level 11
I dont know about just the completion, but flawless requires one sitting
I am almost certain from all my sources its all in 1 go. It can't be a CP
All in one go, even if you get error coded. Im not sure if thats part of the bug thats happening with it, and about to be fixed, but for now it has to be all in one session.

Would rain of fire boots not be better than opidians
I didn't even think of running them. But maybe worth a try
Dim link for subs ?

@@ItsNausicc for the intire dungeon do u have any general build for helping out ?
@@SRLula79 MY general builds are almost the exact same as the DPS, The only change would be for ammo scavs, finders, etc.

I've done it on all characters solo flawless, and decided I needed a new challenge to set myself so I tried doing the whole dungeon Blindfolded, would you believe I did it solo Blindfolded on my 3rd run!!
yeah ok buddy
One good job on solo flawless on all your characters 🥳 two I'mma have to press x to doubt the blindfolded completion 🙃😆
@@corruptVz this is a reference to a Mario speed runner who cheated during a blindfold run... its not real
The mechanics of this dungeon are so boring to me... I have soloed flawless every single dungeon but this one. I think I'm gonna pass on it. Sadly this is the only achivement I'm missing to reach Guardian rank 11 lmao.
I just got to Persys and 2 damage phases before I won, destiny crashed. Fuck me.
With void being the burn a gyrfalcon hunter with funnel web, taipan crafted, plus S20 artifact mods will make this easier then wellock I think.
edit: like everyone else assumed i should know normal doesn't have a burn, I assumed everyone else would know i talking about master when i mentioned the void burn, im running it on master.

Spire normal mode does not have a burn.
@@ItsNausicc i know, im doing it on master.
Ka-chow
I found it easier on hunter.
Props for you getting it! I could never do stuff on a hunter! Always played better on titans and warlocks! Since D1 Baby!
@@ItsNausicc yea I tried this on Warlock yesterday but I can't get akelous eyes killed fast enough to have a decent damage phase, gonna have to use arcstaff hunter so I can atleast get the super off
