The fact that the laser takes so long to break the Witness' shield is hysterical. I'd assumed it'd be scripted to drain at a fixed rate but I guess not.
That's not even the cherry on top... it took SO LONG solo that the Kamehameha animation ended and he was standing in first person with his ghost still blasting from above... the animation is like 20-30 seconds too short, I'm sure they never expected anyone to solo a 12 man, but yet again here is Eso proving everyone wrong yet again...
I can understand why the Witness is so pissed. Imagine watching a single Guardian basically persist against literally everything that's thrown their way, and you just want them dead, and they basically give you a thousand papercuts and kill you.
There were parts in there that looked almost easier solo. The plates at the start for instance are usually complete chaos, but eso just took his time, only killed the enemies that needed killing letting the rest despawn and stayed invisible the whole time. Made it look an absolute cakewalk
The DEI bungie hires don't care about anything like this. They only care about how they can reskin final bosses that float in front of you while you shoot its crit for 20 minutes
As an old man gamer who will never be anywhere near this level of skill as a guardian (and quite happy by the way to leave such feats to your good self,) i watched this completion, shaking my head in amazement and applauding with genuine respect. I don't normally communicate much on here as i much prefer engaging in conversation on twitter (refuse to call it X). But i had to share some words. I am and always will be a solo gamer, and Destiny provides me plenty for my level of gaming enjoyment. What you have shown here is that with the right understanding of builds, patience and a good level of skill, if an activity has an option to be run alone then there is an opportunity to complete it. You give hope to many who wish to try achievements such as this. Great job. Inspiring.
Same. Old enough to hook up the PONG game to the old tube TVs with three stations in the early 70's. We thought that was amazing back then. LOL!!! Wild to see how it all evolved through the decades.
@@mojomanmurph1925 Gaming has indeed evolved.....it's almost unrecognisable nowadays compared to the 70's.Pong included - i am sure i have seen modern variations of this game floating around. Not a bad thing though. Everything moves on and improves. Technology is just part of that change. My more devoted gaming started quite late in life for me, almost to the point where i am playing catch up nowadays. But games are looking fantastic to the eye and running very smooth on the variety of platforms. Spoilt for choice today that's for sure.
I was playing Halo, only the campaigns i should add, and i was looking for something with more character progression and narrative, long term and a world i could really lose myself in. I came across Destiny 1 not long after Taken King was released, it was a hard copy version and the cover art really appealed to me so i done some research...... the rest is history really. Apart from a bit of a hiatus last year where i then changed from console to pc, and discovered games which i didn't have the same access to, Destiny has kept me engaged, in my own little way, for much of this Light and Dark Saga.
God, i hardley every play, and im happy with myself being able to do strikes solo. This is so way beyond anything i could ever complete. Congratulations my man. This is a very worthwhile accomplishment. And an impressive one, at that. Well done!
The knowledge on how to beat this solo really is esoterickk. You're insane bro I been watching for a while now. & I don't ever want a face or voice reveal bc my brain has made up the perfect image of this damn godslayer & it must remain that way. Well done.
Got my solo 2 days ago, didn't watch this beforehand but I did see it popup in my recommended. I only attempted it and knew it was possible because of your video. (I recommend Izi for the Cornerstones, its safer and more burst)
From soloing Oryx in D1 to soloing the Witness in D2. You did it, you mad bastard! In all seriousness though, great job man. You made it your destiny to solo all of the hardest pieces of content in the game, and you did it flawlessly. Hope you'll stick around for the future of what comes next in Destiny, you've become a core part of the community, and not having you with us will be a huge blow. After all, we need our Lore Accurate Guardian with us! Cheers 🍻! -Sincerely, a fan since D1.
Appreciate such kind words and the super thanks, thank you very much! It's been a long journey for sure. No plans to stop anytime soon, and I'm looking forward to see what the future of Destiny has in store :)
i said to myself after i completed this no way eso go a be able to solo this this thing is way to crazy, i get a YT notification and it’s this. this is actually insane 💀
Said to my colleague yesterday when I get up and go on RUclips. I'll definitely see a solo run from Esoterickk. I get up and go to RUclips and the first video that appears to me. This solo run
i’ve been using the nightstalker build in the beginning for YEARS so glad to see it getting some recognition especially after void 3.0 it just got better
Whenever GM difficulty first came out I was pissy about people just staying in the back and chipping away at enemies. Bravo to you for making a career out of it
Bungie: we've made this activity so hard that you ca- Eso: Move the fuck out of my way. Bungie should make you specific armor and *ONLY* *YOU* should have it.
This community is genuinely my favorite community that’s exists. Bungie: here’s this really difficult 12 man activity Destiny player: is that a challenge?
I like how the witness just twirls his hands around for like 2 minutes during last stand while you slowly drained his hp with your ghost, he didnt even react
He did it yall. All the hard work he has accomplished to get to the point. He is truly the main character. We're the ones that arrived after he solo the raid clear💀😂
Earlier today in a painful 12 man run I said "I can't wait for Eso to solo this."
I WAS JOKING!
Bro took it personally 💀
I said the same thing to my group. I was like “you know someone will have a solo video of this, probably eso”
Bro said "Challenge Accepted"
Well, he did it. How do you feel?
A guy commented it on his video when he posted 12 man basically calling him a scary cat so he he said bet
This is the lore accurate guardian. Esoterickk makes his own fate.
Esoterickk breaks the witnesses fate for fucking SUPPER BRO
No, cuz by the lore, this was a joint effort of 12 guardians and other forces
@@oryxthetakenking8275yea but, In lore, guardians are extremely powerful, and that is what guy here is saying
@@oryxthetakenking8275this dude is above the lore
@@oryxthetakenking8275eso was the lead for that team.
“We…. I don’t understand”
Neither do we, buddy, neither do we
😂😂😂
😂 neither do I! Lol
The fact that the laser takes so long to break the Witness' shield is hysterical. I'd assumed it'd be scripted to drain at a fixed rate but I guess not.
I wonder what the witness would be thinking while watching his shield being slowly and painfully peeled away
Lol that was the best part. That poor ghost. 😂
Love how he's just doing gang signs back there the entire time.
That's not even the cherry on top... it took SO LONG solo that the Kamehameha animation ended and he was standing in first person with his ghost still blasting from above... the animation is like 20-30 seconds too short, I'm sure they never expected anyone to solo a 12 man, but yet again here is Eso proving everyone wrong yet again...
same happened in my run ony 3 of us got the beam, took a while
bro didnt even let it marinate for a day 😭
😂
Not even 12 hours lmao
He is not gonna sugarcoat this
Bro said "marinate" 😂
He took it out of the marinade and ate it raw😂😂
My guy is the final shape
i like the awkward stare when you're trying to break the glass and the witness is just throwing gang signs
it be representing everyone
The head shake at 10:30 because of that nade had me rolling. Felt that in my soul.
And then knifing the ground after missing the super 😂
Same dude, I do this way too often 😂😂
The Witness the whole time just looking at him like "bruh. Seriously? Come on..."
"WE'VE SLAUGHTERED COUNTLESS GUARDIANS, WHY IS THIS ONE SO STRONG"
I can understand why the Witness is so pissed. Imagine watching a single Guardian basically persist against literally everything that's thrown their way, and you just want them dead, and they basically give you a thousand papercuts and kill you.
@@ProfessorHeavy1Lore wise a single guardian really can do this, it just puts this into perspective that there is no limit to what a guardian can do.
😂
I knew it was soloable just was gonna be a slog.
Lore accurate guardian is thr most patient being in the universe
I ended up 8 manning as 4 extra are just a liability. There is no better way to put this. Eso's level of patience is on another level.
Lol my 12 man took like an hour😅
@@turd0420not a bad idea if you can’t find 12 competent players which obviously isn’t easy
@@turd0420how so? The more people the more damage you need to do or what
@@LaloPinkman scales with fireteam size yes
The "I don't understand" line makes much more sense now. Even the Witness is scared of what the lore accurate guardian can do.
Definitely allowed me to appreciate the audio far more. So many queues and subtleties lost over the chatter of 12 guardians rifles.
🎯
The man is absolutely insane. 12 man activity, that challenges even raiders AND HE DOES IT ALONE
it scales accordingly but it's still insane
It doesnt scale. Look at the shield breaking at the end. The grandmaster version is fixed@@hooky17
There were parts in there that looked almost easier solo. The plates at the start for instance are usually complete chaos, but eso just took his time, only killed the enemies that needed killing letting the rest despawn and stayed invisible the whole time. Made it look an absolute cakewalk
Ill do it on titan
I legit told my group that he would figure out how to solo it not even 4 hours later and he’s done it.
Congrats Eso you beat Destiny. 🙏
It was only a matter of time, he did it again
bungie screaming "HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS" when the video went up
The DEI bungie hires don't care about anything like this. They only care about how they can reskin final bosses that float in front of you while you shoot its crit for 20 minutes
Remember 10 years ago when they said (become legend). He took that personal
This is the true final battle only one single guardian fighting an entire collective of an ancient civilization
True that !
An army into one vs a one man army
I can see why the ghost dies now, that’s way too much energy channeling through a single ghost. YOU killed it dammit!
We’ve been calling it for the past 2 years, and he finally did it. He solo’d the Witness.
Lore accurate guardian fulfilled his Destiny
His destiny to the final shape

first, i’m gonna sit here and watch this whole thing, you’re wild for this one eso

God, i hardley every play, and im happy with myself being able to do strikes solo. This is so way beyond anything i could ever complete. Congratulations my man. This is a very worthwhile accomplishment. And an impressive one, at that. Well done!
At this point Bungie should just create new game modes specifically for Esoterickk. This is cakewalk for him.

There is no fing way I get on RUclips to see how hard this is and the third video is this legend soloing it?! Day one? Wtf.
that ghost worked overtime at the end
I feel nostalgic seeing you with wishender and graviton forfeit on. I think that was one of your first loadouts I saw on youtube.
Good lord it's John Guardian
Got my solo 2 days ago, didn't watch this beforehand but I did see it popup in my recommended. I only attempted it and knew it was possible because of your video.

Whilst waiting for the servers to go up earlier i wrote in a Twitch chat "just waiting for Eso to solo it day one", that really didnt take long, GG

You're insane. Keep up the good work 👍
Insanity!
You have to be kidding me?!?!!? And I thought to myself earlier today, "no way Esoterik solos that one".
Once more, you made Destiny history.
It’s almost like bungie expected this, don’t you have to gather 16 pools of light when it’s a full 12 team? I guess solo it’s only 8 😂😂😂
