The new version of Pantheon Nezarec Sublime is exactly what I've wanted from a Destiny activity in such a long time. Serious difficulty, fun mechanics and lengthy encounters with a heavy emphasis on survivability and dynamic team composition. -20 Pantheon is all this and more and serves as an excellent way for new teams to practice for the upcoming day one and my goodness is it difficult, which is why in today's video I'm going to try and explain what my team did to beat it as best as I can. The two new bosses added this week are Riven and Nezarec, and for Riven the encounter is mostly the same and thankfully there are no Tormentors here but the biggest change is that the joining-allies is patched and you cannot cheese her since she has massive damage resistance on the first two floors of damage, which I think is an excellent change. Nezarec though, the changes are good but overall the encounter is so poorly designed and it shows even more in this version, but there are ways you can make it more bearable. Anyway, please enjoy the breakdown and good luck with your clears!

Pre final shape pantheon month with builds and different damages and strats each week is like the best destiny has ever been it’s been damn awesome.
Agreed!
Unlucky that i need to do it with lfg
@@satlaharfa7418same, none of my friends want to do it 😅
@@satlaharfa7418 boss I have no team. I LFG every week every encounter. Just gotta know to not waste time when the team ain’t working
@Relic… we had a few guys like you… think they are the greatest player ever even though they have no team to play with, you don’t do anything special at all, but you leave after 1 run cause you know “the team ain’t working”
Like Golgoroth, you won’t take gaze, but you’ll quit after 1 run. Or you won’t be runner on caretaker, and you’ll do add clear on planets.
"Nearly impossible to mess up Whisper damage"
The one thrall left alive during DPS whose only mission is "GET DOWN MR. PRESIDENT!!!": 👁️ 👄 👁️
Lmao true
my face when the tormentor gets closed because someone broke the shoulders :)
Or you know, dps on the little balconies below daughter’s plates so that doesn’t happen??
I think unironically the hardest part of the Nezarec Sublime run is getting Platinum Explicator. Everything else is pretty free if you survive, given the amazing surges this week.
Hardest part is finding LFGs who have done legit Riven before.
@@christophergarland7936teaching Riven isn't that hard as long as your team is competent. It took me giving one five minute explanation and a couple of mistakes for us to be golden. Hard part is really just keeping ads dead
how is plat explicator hard? just 2 phase him lmao
Everything was easy for my lfg team, we spent 6 hours and got to nez before spending an additional 2 hours on nez before getting off. We spent about an hour and a half on riven because all 6 of us have never done legit riven but we learned and got it done after a few dozen wipes. By far the most enjoyable encounter of the 8
@@tysonlowhand6340 Yeah that's the hard part jackass
Community: give us more content! Something challenging
Bungo: time to seperate the wheat from the chaff. . . And brainless.
Already got it through 10 hours with LFG’s but such a fun raid/mode! Still watching because love your information!! Thanks for all content!!
I’m bouta ask tomorrow off so I can do lfgs all day to get it since I’m going on vacation right after 😭
Good luck man! I got very lucky with one group that were just good for a complete in about 4 hours. It was going back in for missed high scores which took wayyy longer lol. Overall not bad! Yes tough but extremely fun! Good luck future Godslayer!
@@hggeren1234567same. Lfg was a godsend for godslayer. But a few lucky groups got my average ass the title.
@@Flo-zj9tg fellow LN enjoyer i see
I forced my raid team to practice riven legit on Monday and they were adamant it wouldn’t matter. I felt so validated by Bungie making us do it
It is incredible seeing how few people actually have a 2nd runner/buff buddy to make a refuge when it is the most risk free thing you can do and in this instance helps big even more so. I saw way too many people struggling with that and still forgoing the 2nd buff guy.
Flew through it 3ish hours with 5 hunters and a Warlock. Super fun. I hope they do more of this in the future!
who ready to hear
AAAAAAA aaaaAAAAA AAAAAaaaaa
for 10 hours on repeat
AAAAA AAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAA AAAA aaaa
Good song
prob worth mentioning that snipers deal 50% less damage to riven by default
snipers deal 45% less. shotguns deal 55% less and sleeper does 40% less. still doesnt matter izzy rocket bakes her.
@@IvyDoomsday Very true, but for popping eyes its more important so that yo ucan do it in 1 shot, not 2 with Forerunner
Run malfeasance lucky pants hunters. 😅
@@owenabrahamsen5838 forerunner is literally 1 shot for eyes.
@@IvyDoomsday yes. I worded it weird. I mean that you can do it in 1 shot with Forerunner, as opposed to snipers, which can be 2 shots (also worse ammo and fire rate)
Spent four hours on Riven. First hour was just learning. Then it was figuring out that my partner in reading didn’t realize you have to press grenade (he had been pressing super) then from there we were too focused on our eyes up top and didn’t do enough damage. Between all of that the minotaurs kept screwing us up. Until eventually we killed her, got plat, and went to sleep because it was 2 in the morning
Spent 8 hours with a single lfg group and got all the way to nezerac without any issues before getting stuck on nez for the last 2 hours before getting off.
but to platinum 7 encounters in 6 hours Aint half bad especially considering it was the entire team’s first time doing riven legit and we were all excited for it and outburstly happy when we beat riven.
This was seriously the best event Naz was a pain, however it was really great fun and I’m glad that my team and I got Godslayer
Well done!
Good thing to note is that explosive light is much better than bait and switch on rockets for caretaker and planets. You can only get 2-3 rockets out per plate anyways, so buffing each of those by 25% with explosive light is much more beneficial than trying to proc bait and switch (using one of your rockets with a 0% buff) for a buff that's only 5% higher than explosive light.
Not to mention how much simpler explosive light is to proc. Anything to reduce complexity of damage phases will help most teams.
Valid but the first rocket actually DOES get affected by BnS, Aegis tested this and confirmed it, plus Explosive Light scales very poorly with Wolfpack Rounds, they only buff it by around 10% as opposed to the 30% it gives for BnS rockets IIRC.
@@LlamaD2 Interesting, I wouldn't have thought the first rocket is buffed. Spaghetti code? In that case, BnS is good, but we also cooked with explosive light so i think either is fine.
Something I learned last night on captain planets (explicator) - you don't have to kill the tormentor in order to get platinum score. It despawns about 2 seconds after someone steps into one of the plates for damage. We ended up just giving it a wide berth until damage was ready to start, focusing on other adds.
Another thing we learned is choosing when to use our supers is important. We front loaded our golden guns on first plate and instructed everyone to not bother trying to get bait and switch going and just shoot. This is because once the damage threshold is reached he will start charging phase.
We would use supers like burning maul last, but we found that titans actually do better with curiass because either tornados don’t stack or don’t get to deal their full damage.
Finally we would stay on the plate until countdown reaches two seconds to make sure buff doesn’t run out

I would say contest mode is still harder since there’s no extra modifiers like shot caller, classy, or surges to help. This took me 6 hours with LFG despite having no day 1s but we missed the 500k atraks 😭
Good one to miss to be fair, very quick to get that one sorted! We missed planets by about 5k, not looking forward to going back there lol
I run Xeno with void on warlock to make bottom floor easier. Kill serviters faster, push tormentor down hole, everyone goes up elevators faster, and you get to solo bottom floor which means nobody but yourself can hit the wrong atraks.
During final stand just make sure to kill the adds that spawn or if your really need the extra point then take down the second tormentor before you finish the boss
Tip to anyone struggling to get Rhulk stuck in the back; This was my job and at some occasions, even with melee resistance and 100 Resilience, he'd still one shot me. I suggest whoever is going Div be the one getting him stuck, throw on a legendary sword, and block his kick. You can bring him as far back as you want so long as you're not overzealous and get whacked off the edge. Once you feel he's as far back as possible, then run to the wall and STAY STILL. Since then, I've never had him NOT get stuck. Plus, having all that free space allows your line of sight with Div to be picture-clear. Happy runs everyone!
Missed opportunity to name this “Nezarec, Final Guide of Pain”
LMAO
Killed him no score 436k
Congrats on getting Godslayer Llama!
You definitely deserve it😁😁
Tried with a couple friends and lfg people and unfortunately we couldn't get past planets..
Hopefully my attempt today yields more positive results and progress 😅😅
Doing add clear with Sunshot also means you have Shot Caller up pretty much all the time - and Shot Caller gives a pretty hefty amount of damage reduction. I swear incoming damage during mechanics on Macrocosm felt lower this week than it did last week despite the power delta being higher. That and the solar surge also make it insane for Nez add clear (especially because Cabal are so fat that their explosion radius is enormous) and in general I felt like surviving -20 Pantheon Nez was *dramatically* easier than surviving day one contest Nez for the add clear and runners alike in spite of the new enemies.
I did the buff buddy/add clear in our clear and found Mountaintop to be absolutely amazing. You can easily laterally MT jump across the middle at the start to close the distance and get to your side with enough time to kill everything and then hit the big boy with a x10 Recombination shot after breaking his shield with a solar melee to debuff him. Anyone that's done TF2 rocket jumping should be able to do it as easily as breathing, and it's a super super fun way to do an encounter where both aspects of MT as a movement tool and burst damage tool get used for the same job.
Got Godslayer & dove everything this week including revision, the mission & even found Archie. GL to every one out there. Nez needs div + sleeper.
My team found a pretty good strategy on atraks where you put one titan on bubble with helm of saint-14, you put a bubble on the atraks scanner points out, and it gives the whole fireteam obrs for surge, weapons of light, and lets you fire parasite and supers at melee range without self destructing, we managed to put atraks to final stand using this
Surges don’t work on atraks
@@jeffw3905really?
@@jeffw3905 even if this is true it still works like a charm
You don’t even need any of that
Works great with ses bb hunters too so good advice imo
My team 3 phased nez where we did the “aztecross” strat (prob not his strat just who I saw it from first) of someone holding nez at bottom of his spawn platform (I.e. where he jumps off when you grab hatred) with lament + strongholds + a well for added survival and the other 5 people stood on his spawn platform for dps. Definitely not optimal but probably the most consistent 3 phase if you don’t want to “cheese” with the cave spot or off of map spot. We got high score still with it being a 3 phase because there is some hidden bonus from either beating the whole thing in the same run or just having beat any encounter before nez
We ignored the torm on planets this week and opted to tractor suppress or blind it before I threw down the well, but it's definitely worth killing if it gives you trouble
our team actually brought Marsilion-C for nez and explicator since a lot of us didn't own cataphracts, and fought nez dead center of the arena and it was the easiest 2 phase of our lives, one damage phase brought him down to the C in Nezarec, it was great
the plunder pursuit gl is also a good option
@@jordanreavis8163 wait really?
This might sounds crazy, but my team started dps in the sloped tunnel to the right of Nez’s stage, and then when he teleported on top of us around the halfway mark we would walk out of the tunnel and put a second well down out in the open floor and finished dps there 😅
I fully LFGed pantheon and got Godslayer! It was fine until Nezarec. Annoying is an understatement. Especially working with people you don’t know. Hyped for the title though!
Unironically Lament 2-phase for nez is very easy, just using a banner and a few wells.
Peak LFG experience
Thumbnail on point
That cut off on the rocket launcher shot😂 0:56
So far the biggest issues my team had was Golgy would not turn to look at the Gaze Holder, so we spent about an hour on that alone which was awful. When we were actually able to get him turning towards the damage dealers we got it first try. Planets was brutal just for the fact that you can’t really mess up this time around. I was losing it because I was able to barrel stuff the lieutenants last week, but you can’t really this week. After the miserable struggle on planets though we got Atraks and Oryx done first try. we stopped on rhulk for the time being, but we’ll get it done. It was just exhausting starting off the run with Golgy like that
Tip for making golgy turn - make him stomp, he looks at whoever made him stomp :)
My team has found that just leaving a single Strand Titan to deal with the tormentors is effective, because they can be afflicted with Stasis and Strand debuffs in Pantheon
Me and my team were actually doing really well on Nez and if we could survive longer and get heavy, but having B.S happen (such as Nez choosing to chill in the middle of the map rather than the spot I dragged him to) is what really killed the runs.
That’s why he’s the goat!
on planets you can just blinding gl the tormentor, and the div player can swap to a damage dealing weapon to alleviate the load on the team to 2 phase
Love the video my team and i got a smooth 2 fase on thr branch on dark side
Well done!
aaaah the sound of a Whisper Firing line is always 😫🤤
Just mainly wanted to point out after all this that strand titan exists.
And not in the sense that 'oohh yeah super big grapple melee' but in the sense that Banner of War is still broken out the ass and for some reason is still allowed to heal you and all nearby allies. This combined with the busted melee damage makes a lot of things that are normally pretty scary a breeze (combined with the strand woven mail). Main example so far my group has is Explicator being done in 2 phases easy due to stacking banner to the max 30 seconds, then starting DPS, having it pulse and keep use alive through all the tornados as we transitioned. (Me as the banner also was one of the lower plates, so I'd constantly be running across the lower section healing everyone as I went). This also drastically lowers the threat of the tormentors as your melee cooks them on top of applying Sever, making them do drastically less on top of you melting them quickly.
Very much recommend at least one strand titan, if not more than that by the time you hit Ruhlk and Nezy. Being able to just instakill high value targets is very helpful.
Final shape gonna replace those with strand warlocks and void titans. Yea I said void titan. Just combine shield throw with swapping between helm and doom fangs to get instant damage buffs, super energy, overshield, etc
Llama is locked in
Nez is gonna be a nightmare on through lfg.
This is indeed quite hard
Love how your guides are so meat and potatoes. Just the main points
nezzy lament damage huge this week shoutout
Cataphrat is an amazing option aswell i recommend that if u have it
We never killed the tormentor on planets, he didn't really cause us any trouble. Just shot the void tornado thing when it spawned.
Also the team composition just further proof that titans did not deserve yet another “balancing”
Riven legit is actually a pretty fun encounter i will not lie might have to try it legit normally too, really recommend it
For sure!
We're dealing so little dsmage to nez its to cry about
For my team the activity was fearly easy, the probleam came in planets we spend around 2 hours there, and we got surprised in riven it went down on the 3rd attempt
Yeah Riven is pretty free
I’ve done my time. I’m just glad I finished before reset.
I’m already a god slayer, just watching this because I like your videos
Appreciate it!
Got it already, not very hard with a dedicated team, good luck to anyone trying!!
pantheon and LFG (yes, I don't have friends nor clan) is breaking my soul and willing to play the game anymore XD
You can easily one-phase Atrax if you have one of the hunters use acrobat's dodge and make everyone radiant before dps
as someone who never got good enough to do Raids and Dungeons videos like this made leaving D2 the correct choice.
good video though!
Got high score in every encounter every week except for the final Nez. Can't find a single team that can survive until dps 2 and have spent over 15 hours in that encounter alone. I feel like it's just time to give up, which is a shame after doing the work in everything else 😩
I'm so close I just need Week 4 plat Rhulk and Planet than Week 3 Planet and Artaks I'm really hoping this will get me through
Watching this after getting god sayer.
Lament on nezarec is a massive strat
We tried but didn't find much success but am willing to go again
We did it with 2 wellicht and 1 bubble using la ments or hunters with gold tusk and it 2 phased like a charmmm@@LlamaD2
@@LlamaD2u just need a crap tone of wells, i did it earlier
How the absolute fuck am I gonna do this, no idea, but I'm damn well gonna try
no tormentor on riven, im devastated that im wrong :(
Does shot caller always proc on 3 bullets? If so, it'd be a lot faster to proc that wirh an automatic weapon rather than a handcannon, so it'd be nice to plan accordingly
Yes it does and you're right
Can you please help me? I have done the first 2 weeks. But I don’t have a team to play with for the fourth week and I don’t know all the roles. 6 out of 8 encounters I know 2 rolls, and in Oryx I can do any roll.
I think a guide on how to do riven legit would be good. Since most people do not know how to
My team has been having trouble on planets mainly due to the fire tornados that spawn on plates, theyre just so random. Any advice on those or is it truly luck?
The boss makes a noise indicating when a tornado spawns, but other than that just be on lookout
Is there an audio queue or anything on the top floor telling you when to shoot Riven’s 6 eyes? If you shoot the eyes too early does your damage window end?
People normally shoot eyes when her mouth closes
@@LlamaD2 Thanks very much for responding! That is what I noticed from watching a few different videos but glad I have confirmation now!
Prob worth mentioning this gonna be vaulted when Final Shape drop its gonna be awesome hearing the little kids an grown adults cry 😭 when it gets vaulted.
fr, the lfg group i was in decided to use it on our last run as we were getting tired and it was so much easier then anything lmao
What class combination did you use? Idk how to convince my fireteam titan sucks and 3 hunters 3 warlocks is the way to go. Atm were 2 2 2 but its pretty mid like that in my opinion
yeah 3 warlock 3 hunter is pretty good, you have a balance of good damage and good survivability, tell your friends that haha
At 1:57 what was your build for the dps ?
Any particular reason you weren't running surge mods during DPS?
What was the Caretaker well setup?? Helmet ... Apotheosis?
Yes it was Apotheosis Veil
@@LlamaD2 Thanks for the reply! Will be using that for some burst for sure
For the person hold Nez attention any recommendation on loadout? Are they doing damage as well or just holding aggro
Our guy used Lament because he was so close
Great video bud how do i find a team to do from start to finish this ??????
Try using the D2LFG server or join mine discord.gg/llamad2 and use our LFG channel!
Ok i will try your discord maybe i can join you D2 lfg i dont do pure madness LOL
@@LlamaD2 tried your discord no one om it only trying to charge me is it a scam bud should i set up 1 ?
i play on steam and my mic turned of i try turnit on but it instanly goes of i cant even find an oryx week 3 lfg
Is Atraks platinum a large roadblock for other teams? I spent 4 hours in Pantheon yesterday, with 2 hours of that time being spent on Atraks alone. Since you have to kill every enemy on the bottom floor and 1/2 floor if you want Platinum as far as I'm aware, there was always issues with someone either dying and losing their Parasite/Star-Eater stacks, groups taking too long to kill their enemies to the point where damage auto-started, or not having people make it down to bottom to finish Atraks off in time. We cleared it after about an hour and a half of attempts in hopes that it was enough for platinum, but we got around 499,100 points, so we had to circle back to it for 30 minutes after we cleared the rest of the Pantheon. Golgoroth, Caretaker, Explicator, and Oryx were all first try encounters, Rhulk took a couple of tries to figure out the damage strategy this week, Riven took two or three tries, and Nezarec took a handful as well, but nothing came close to Atraks for us.
For Atraks just have everyone run Thundercrash Titan, even without arc surge that, Parasite, and Lament follow up for final stand makes it free. Got it plat second try. Run Successions or something for the Tormentor
Got it last night at 3am straight torture but worth
Why sleeper over cataclysmic? Just ease of use not having to worry about bait and switch?
Question for Rhulk 5x Sleeper and 1x Div will be good?
Yes very good!
Do you get damage resist when Icarus dashing or does rhulk not one shot when -20?
You don't get one shot by virtually anything at -20 if you have the correct resistances.
On the dance floor I run concussive, melee, and solar. On the hyper beam concussive and solar should proc. On the melee all 3 should proc.
Other tip being if you are airborne you seem to take less damage from his melee's (and can float above the beam) so if he's about to dash towards you either dash/slide through him or jump away at a right angle.
I don't know of any inherent damage resist from icarus but as it's quickly moving you out of his area effect, and you have to be airborne to use it, both should help reduce the damage you're taking
Tis a shame that Rhulk is chessable as its hands down the hardest encounter to get the godslayer title as it would be the damage check block for most groups
Theres time to 3phase plat on planets?
Why did you choose sleeper instead of whisper on the last encounter. Does he move around too much even with someone down there babysitting him?
You have to stay scoped in the entire time with Whisper which is a little more restrictive
@@LlamaD2 thanks!
do riven first
Nez second
planets third
Rhulk fourth
and then the rest in any order
Can you get platinum score for a 3 phase on planets, rhulk and Nez?
I'm not entirely sure sadly
Soooo what’s the highscore for caretaker? Because apparently 468k is not enough 😑
My problem being I wanna get the title & the group i’ve been doing it with doesn’t & just wants the clear
What would be good recommendations for titans? I don’t have my warlock and my hunter with good builds or stats.
Pyrogale titan or arc titan
Strand/Solar/Arc but Strand will give you best neutral game and survivability
Does Nezarack need to be done within the tike to get platinum? I have heard frok people you dont is this true?
I believe it does
If anyone is up for riven please let me know it’s not hard let me know then we can talk forward from there
I'm stuck on nezarec rn, tried sleeper but we ran out ammo before final stand and died there
With Cenotaph Warlocks plus running Heavy finders you shouldn’t be running into ammo problems.
GLs 2 phases with shot caller div and radiant.
Catafract and have every hunter hot swap and have a lucky pants malf ready if they run out of heavy for final. Cenotaph for 2nd phase
You’ve still got some time! It’ll be worth it for the title :3
Thanks for the tips guys, hope i can get my nez clear tomorrow and week 3 plat planets too
any tips for planets? we’ve been struggling to 2 phase
Coordinate your damage carefully, do a countdown so everyone is in sync.
Also make sure you've got boot surges and are proccing shot caller.
If everyone is killing themselves with explosive weapons, Sleeper is a very solid.. probably even better alternative. Boss has a slightly higher crit modifier from memory and it hits like a rocket launcher you can get 3-4 shots off per buff. The downside of the weapon (charge and low mag size) is negated by starting damage together and reloading between buffs. We were finding that it 'almost' wasn't worth doing damage supers in previous solar surge because you could have done almost equal damage just shooting sleeper (it depended on how quickly you recovered and got back into your groove)..
It's just ammo hungry and you want exotic ad clear and other ammo generation if you're going to run it.
Can you three phase nezarec and get platinum?
I don't think so, pretty sure it has to be a 2 phase
the Vortex Grenade on Atraks is for the weaken debuff right?
Yes
epic
So what's the point thresholds for rhulk and nezzy, the others are relatively fine to get plat on, those two just seem quite tight
Believe all are 500k? Could be wrong...
They're all 500k, the time bonus gives you 300K+ (I think it's probably falling from 500k to begin with).
There's a thing with the final boss of the pantheon where if you've defeated previous bosses (in that specific raid) it'll add a completion bonus on.
On the previous week's this was why you could 3 phase Rhulk but this week you're likely going to Have to 2 phase him.
@@minkernator we two phased both of them regardless so it was fine
Does anyone know what the Plat thresholds for Caretaker and Planets are? We two floored Caretaker and killed the tormentors/two phased Explicator and didn't Plat
500K as far as I'm aware
You might have interacted with the transmat banner too fast? Sometimes you need to wait for the points to register and give progress on the triumph before you advance.
For explicator damage phase, why is Divinity used alongside rockets? Rockets obviously don't benefit from the precision bubble, but is the damage buff really still worth it?
I had it for the tormentor and just decided to keep it on for damage, it was a 2 phase regardless so didn't really matter.
Another commenter said they used blinding nades for the tormentor which could work better but we just preferred to kill it.
FYI divinity is not a damage buff when considering full fireteam damage. 5 people dealing damage + div is equivalent to 5.75 people dealing damage, plus a little bit more for the actual div damage itself, so it basically evens out. Div is only a crit bubble, the debuff just makes up for the fact that one person isn't dealing damage. If you've already got it on then might as well, like Llama did, but that's the only reason besides easier crits.
@@LlamaD2 That makes sense, I guess there's no need to min-max when you've got it anyway
Pantheon Riven and nez SHOULD implemented to normal
Not gonna lie, div on planets is kind of questionable
I keep getting teammates who just wanna be add clear….
