you have no idea how badly i wish the opening of vow was considered an encounter just so we could all collectively rank it at the bottom
It wasn’t that bad, it’s way more annoying as part of the preservation mission than as the raid as a whole, I personally find it kinda fun and chill before the seriousness of the actual first encounter
@@giratinathe_distorter7480 I couldn't agree more, at least in the raid you had 5 other guardians help kill stuff and move the encounter along quicker.
IVE SPENT ENOUGH TIME AT BARGE. NO THANK YOU
@@giratinathe_distorter7480you somehow managed to get the worlds first incorrect opinion🥇
Movin with the payload
The fact that riven and Val Caour were back to back raids is nuts. Two straight bangers
💀
@@darkconnz5088?
@@moonwhooperI guess "two straight bangers" meant something else to him
I love the look Oryx remastered gave the guardian that shot witherhoard at 45:51.
“The fuck was that?”
Definitely make a jumping puzzle tier list, that would be great and I’ve never seen that before
It would be world's first
We all know deep stone lullaby would be first
@@averageperson9708 idk kingsfall’s dick wall might be more iconic and was actually difficult/annoying in d1
@@xdifficultviper9916I personally like the ships jumping puzzle better
Still waiting for a jumping puzzle tier list.
This list shows how good vow of the disciple really was, if it wasn’t for the day 1 experience being so unfortunate for many teams including myself; people would love this raid.
So far Vow has been my favourite raid, nearly surpassing VoG (nostalgia keeps it no1). But, as a musician, I also enjoy the raid scores and deep stone lullaby has my heart in absolute shambles. I was unlucky in the first years of D2 as I could only do Leviathan, the rest I couldn’t find a team or I didn’t play much.
I think how slow the entrance actually is is a detriment to the raid, if entrance could be sped up someway it would be so much more enjoyable
Vow is absolutely my favorite raid but every time I consider running it fresh I remember that I have to do the entrance again... and that encounter just sinks time and kind of sucks aside from a bonus chest.
@@VallornDeathblade I’m ok with the entrance cause I get to hear Mara Sov for like 30 seconds 🤣🤣
I hate the first symbols encounter but maybe that’s just me
Having 3 people to teach Garden AND doing a Div run, nothing could be harder
I used to teach 5 people at the time (div included)
Its about a 2-3 hour ordeal,
But i enjoyed it
@@kagekitsune98_56 Same. Then I decided I hated myself less and stopped.
@@just.some.dud3 i still hate myself.
But nobody is interested in garden anymore, so thats why i quit
Funnily enough, my fastest teaching run was about 1.5hours with me having no mic.
Me literally texting what they need to do🤣🤣
@KageKitsune98_ couldn't agree more. It entertaining to teaching that raid, but sometimes people don't want to learn and listen
I got a very good teacher and learned the whole raid in like an hour or so
guess bungie heard you called them cowards and wanted to one up vault in edge
Dogs is an amazing encounter. It's the only other stealth-themed encounter besides Gorgon Maze in the entire franchise. It had teams doing callouts of which spores to go to and when to wait for dogs. The amount of stacks you acquire for it simply depended on how quick the team was. A more successful stealth section lead to a more successful damage phase. The encounter was merciful in that you had three damage phases. Everyone had an equal roll (Kill your own dog). Dogs varied in difficulty based on how far away from the safe zone they were. So more skilled players could handle the farthest dogs and the rookies can take the closest ones. Challenge mode threw extra dogs which changed the routes you had to take and now made it a priority to converge on the last two dogs as a team.
I loved dogs too. It just got powercrept is all. I remember you wanted at least 48 spores when on the first week.
I wish we had more stealth encounters
What is dogs
Agreed!
@@thrinefeng it was an encounter in the original leviathan raid. You had to kill war beasts that were high health(not really) to finish it. And before damage phase you had to sneak around and avoid them to get spores stack to do bonus damage.
I like interpreting DSC in the way my friend showed me; Atraks-1 is the final boss encounter. She was the biggest threat, the one who had the access to Darkness (the objective of the entire Beyond Light campaign), the one with the final-boss-level mechanics, and the one with the ultra unique setting and feel. Everything afterwards is like Queenswalk; wrapping up the collateral damage caused by the raid’s final boss.
For me it comes down to Axis or Rhulk. My mind was blown the first time in them. Rhulk STILL gives me the same feeling of adrenaline every time I fight him. They did so damn good with the encounter
Wrath overall is a 10/10 for me. Axis is so damn cool, the whole room is awesome
I cannot wait for Wrath to come back
Ever do Aksis on hard mode while completing the challenge, it was Riven (non cheese) level difficult, it kind of surprises me more people don't talk about it.
@@saltymr.potatohead4897 The fight flowed SO WELL though
"vault isnt any higher because 3 people do most of the work"
also
"crota is cool because i can do it myself"
Man, I was wondering what I wanted to watch tonight! Thanks for this!
I know it's kinda odd, but my favorite encounter of all time is Exhibition from vow. Not even a boss encounter, it really makes you feel like you're progressing through the raid, while also being very tough on master and pretty well balanced on normal in terms of ad density and speed.
I agree it's a great encounter
Trio or Duo Exhibition is some of the most fun you can have raiding imo
Perfect balance of mechanics and adclear
I absolutely agree. Finding 6 people who all know what they are doing makes it a blast of an encounter and everyone gets to have a role there is no “I’ll just ad clear”
It is a shame that so many on LFG don't understand communication and prioritising wiping out ads quickly. I absolutely love the music for Exhibition. Loved beating the challenge on master with skilled players
Great vid Evan keep up the good work
Riven still makes me incredibly sad. Such a great encounter with so much thought and love put into it..
Just for people to cheese it. I remember during forsaken I used to fight people who wanted to cheese it in my groups.
If it makes you feel any better, I'd be willing to learn how to beat Riven legit since finding people who know how to actually beat Riven is extremely rare.
Riven legit is the most fun you can have. Always a joy to kill her and cut out her Taken heart.
I have begged my friends how to teach me Riven Legit but none of them want to do it. If you want I’d be willing to learn and we could get a party together to do it!
Love the content man!!
Great video brother!
I gotta say as a frequent teacher of raids, Vow gets by far the most praise from my groups after we run it. Such a good raid.
Aksis is my favorite encounter of them all. It was just so much fun and the music cleared. Siva Density Critical really made you feel like if you didn’t get to safety you were done. Hopefully we get wrath back, it’d be amazing to play it in destiny 2. Riding the siege engine off the cliff was also amazing.
25:53 what a rollercoaster of emotion, I went from getting into that somber music and crying to laughing so hard at Taniks with legs. Keep up the great work Evan.
i love evan and the effort he puts in these videos!
Great video!
Caretaker with its triumph challenge is imo the best encounter we've had, same with 1st encounter
Loved scourge's final boss too, and atraks when done properly over cheesing it, they're all perfect examples of getting everyone involved with intersting mechanics that keep you thinking, unlike daughters of oryx, which could put me to sleep if done one too many times a week
There are few things as epic as being the last runner on Queens Walk. I remember dunking that thing on like my third LW run and it was one of the best feelings of my life. Especially after we wiped a few times on the encounter, had a long raid and we were tired. There are few encounters like it.
Seeing an hour long evanf1997 video makes my day please do more rankings
If Riven ain't #1 I'm gonna riot.
Not any more
I really loved SotP and hope it will come back to grand me a second chance at threat level. The raid was jsut fun to do and while shields may have been the worst of all encounters in it, it was still fun to do
I remember I was getting home from work late and thought the raid race was over and I see the Sweat was still streaming I tuned in and they where just about to finish vault and I kept watching and seeing Riven for the first time was an experience I'll never forget still get chills to these day.
Season of arrivals holds a special place in my heart as I'd never would have gotten proper fireteams for Galran and Val Cauor. I never would have expected Galran to be this high on a list but I whole-heartily agree.
One of few bosses that require every single one of the 6 fireteam members to step up their game.
Val was super hard as well and very engaging.
Galran and the encounter before him is the only thing I ever low manned (because half the LFG group left after 1 wipe and the other guy in there just grabbed his Day 1 placement friend and we went for it). It's a LOT of fun to low man because the whole thing is on hidden timers that you don't even realize are there until you have that low-man pressure. Once you have that down, it's almost like a dance, you can predict "ok we're about to have deceptions" and prep for them.
Aksis (challenge + hard mode) is and probably forever will be my absolute favorite encounter
A jumping puzzles ranked video or even a dungeon encounters ranked video would be amazing to watch
Riven is my favorite by a country mile, the mechanics aesthetics and narrative of the raid had all been building to this point and were nearly flawlessly executed. We’ll never get another raid like last wish
That sparrow part has me dying! 😂
Yo binging all your videos at work and when I say all my co workers looked at me laughing so hard when you said “garden farmers who can’t get bitches” I mean it 😂
I feel like the encounters should be looked at from the perspective of doing them the first few times. Encounters like the Pit, Dogs, Gorgon Maze felt so much more tense and fun than any RoN for instance.
Jumping puzzles list would be sick!
Also I firmly believe that RON was originally designed as a dungeon
rankings for the jumping puzzles/other raid secrets would be a cool video
Just ordered my nezarec shirt im hyped
I really miss Spire of Stars, I used to teach 5 people the raid at a time. It'll be back again someday hopefully with wardcliff coil DPS being patched out.
Not Evan casually teaching everyone how to do Riven
I was already subscribed but your excellent take on the third encounter in Vow makes me want to subscribe to your "very real" OF. Finally, another person who has taste.
You should’ve talked about the music in the third phase of vault in last wish that fills you with sheer panic that a boss might appear
I remember doing Leviathan way back before Beyond Light. We got to Calus and right as we we’re about to kill him, he became immune and wiped us. I swear he only had like a sliver of health left.
great video bro love the channel keep it up
The fact that you put pit above acquisition makes me reconsider the fondness I had for you
so happy gahlran is so high up. GOATED bossfight unbelievably well designed
I've been praising val for so many years now I'm so glad it's at 2 thank you Evan for putting it there 😁😁😁
Poor leviathan man, you really put did it dirty 😂😂😂
Evan when he gets his food served on a PLATE: "Gosh f**ing damnit!"
Yes. PLEASE do this for all jumping puzzles. (Maybe even doing one video for D1 and a DIFFERENT video for D2.)
My two favourite Destiny memories were a week 2 last wish completion doing Riven the proper way, and doing a full Crown of Sorrows run with zero communication and everyone just knew what they were doing.
Completely agree with this list. Never played wrath. Extremely excited for the remake :)
Exotic quests tierlist would be amaizng
Exhibition is such a good encounter, so so so much fun
Rhulk makes me drool, I love that fight so damn much
I love that ppl were using Midnight Coup in Val Ca'uor and then STILL on Riven. That gun NEEDS to come back.
The first time I did Crotas end in d1, the pit at the beginning scared the shit out of me 😭 me and my friends were like 8 years old running around not knowing what to do
First and second encounter in Ron are both very fun to speedrun
My clan finally sat down and learned riven legit after all these years. Easily one of my favorite encounters of all time. So much fun. Hell we think its easier than trying to cheese the dps meta of a given season, and way more fun
Wish they would fix the cheese definitely my favorite raid encounter when done the correct way.
@@JDxxatteis i like that poeple have a choice sum poeple only do raids for the loot you know
Didnt mention the crota pit ping. gotta love launching yourself to the top of the encounter or dying trying
I unfortunately missed a couple of raids so can’t really rate them, but I think I agree with this list mostly.
Great job.
I’d also love to see a jumping puzzle list. I think we all know what number 1 will be though. Especially if we’re grading on music.
Did I hear a “violence, speed, momentum” and a “two time” reference in the Garden opening encounter dialogue? Dr. Disrespect would be proud! Yours Truly, Champ 😉🤠
I’ll always find Rhulk to be the best boss. He’s an incredible character, being so cocky throughout the entire raid, only for us to use everything he throws at us against him. The music, the atmosphere, the buildup, and then the fact that you need to avoid him going goblin mode during damage phase. Plus he’s the first disciple we fight as well as being an entirely new race of character. It may not be the best mechanics wise, but everything else is perfect.
honestly i think root of nightmares was a dungeon and the planet room was ripped from the final shape raid and bungie added some wipe mechanics. Most of the encounters beside the planets can be done solo. just a thought
Ye the mechanics are definitely dungeon-level and a disappointment. personally i was thinking what happened with third encounter was that they came up with it during witch queen because of savathun's prophecy of being able to move planets. when they couldnt come up with ways to flesh that mechanic out across multiple encounters they scrapped everything but the original encounter and made connect-the-dots for the rest of the raid.
Yeaaaa I always thought the planets were out of place since they had nothing to do with the rest of the raid and they were actually difficult
I find it crazy how Morgeth is left so low for his health bar but Templar is left much higher despite having more hollow mechanics and dies waaaayyy faster than Morgeth
The Sanctified Mind design is peak btw
Thank you
My clan always gives me crap bc of exhibition.
It has everything from quick thinking to frustration but for me it always makes me take a breath of relief after finishing or a smile when my team finishes it in 1-2 tries
Spire of stars, and Scourge of the past, has always and probably will always be my 2 top favorite raids off all time, it's such a heartbreak both are gone, Val Ca'our was our nemesis so many times, and I tried and tried and tried to keep my clan mates to get into it, but nobody liked the raid, was such a bummer to always go with LFG's on it.
I remember speed running Scourge without OoB glitches, was so amazing each time you got a better time.
And Legit riven, must be without doubt the best, encounter, ever.... such a shame (almost) nobody know how to do it theese days. Amazing list Evan, thanks!
Crazy to see crotas bridge be put before the awful slog that the first encounter is.
I would love to see a best jumping puzzles in destiny history vid, I have some that as a new light I hated doing lol
Leviathan and last wish are just amazing experiences. Every other raid just feels like long missions.
I did scourge 21 times, and i got always on time 4 times and anarchy about the same amount, and each time i got another, over half the raid needed it. Good good times
There is also one other small change they made to Templar. In D1 if you chose the always block Teleport route. You only had to run between two of the locations instead of watching all four. I also think his teleport is way slower now
Deep Stone Lulluby is my #1 Destiny song. It invokes so many emotions. Hearing it for the first time with my new raid group after my old clan disbanded... it will forever remind me of those that I lost. Friends I had in Destiny 1 that I lost to disease, and the new friends that I've made in Destiny 2. I may be biased, but I think it's the best song in the francise.
I've never once enjoyed raiding, but I've enjoyed watching this video
Exhibition is my favorite raid encounter of all time. I love going in with my actual team and choosing no roles. It is so much fun every time
Great video. Agreed with almost all of these! Gahlran's deception was definitely one of my more fav bosses. The whole everyone had to do something made it fun. I personally loved the Vals Ships in spire cuz it was challenging. Scurge of the past's vault encounter is also fire. Loved having to always move. The riven way is also rly rly fun but yea..the cheese kinda kills the encounter
Val Cauor was always my favorite boss, specifically for how it was just a lot of simple mechanics put together, and that I loved baiting LFG plebs into letting me teach them, and then watching them writhe in agony as they miss the ball throws in the final stand.
Lmfao that garden line threw me
Riven seems dope i didnt even know that all those mechanics existed i have only done it once and that was with cheese
I'm so glad someone else loves shuro chi as much as I do
Small sidebar three-maning totems and being solo on left totem is easily one of the hardest challenges to learn if u have only done the raid a couple times. The timing and consistency needed is redicoulous with the amount of ads
I feel like the add clearing type encounters should be modelled to be something like the veil defence part of the last mission of Lightfall. Have an area to defend, but also have really high add density as well as mini bosses like tormentors or hive guardians spawning throughout. The mission had turrets to hold control of that could help you, but maybe a raid encounter could have an enlightened type mechanic to stop enemies from capturing zones.
I haven’t really played d2 I only did leviathan and the lairs, but I played d1 fanatically and I love all the raids In that game. I love Aksis phase 2, easily my favorite raid encounter and one of my favorite activities in gaming period
justice for garden, it has a special place in my heart
I remember my 2nd to last Vow flawless attempt, died at exhibition to my own teammate eager edging me lol
I was expecting a tier list starting from d1 vog all way to nezzy, think wouldve been better but still another banger
DSC is my favourite raid. Glad to see it isn’t trash by evan’s standards.
I’m really missing the year 1/2 raids of destiny 2. I only got to do spire once and didn’t even finish and same with crown. Scourge was a really fun chill short raid that you can just have fun with
I’d have to agree on the Garden baseball
We need that jumping puzzles ranked video 🗣️🗣️
10:25 never forget the heavy GL cheese for instant success
Time for a dungeon version of this video
Calus on prestige was very challenging. I can’t believe bungie has been making raid bosses that are so easy as of late.
Love to see the Val Ca'uor love! People only hate it because they know that they actually have to do mechs and not ad clear lmao
man...last wish was the best raid and my favourite raid, i wish they would make something of that scale and quality again. I still remember going to sleep after watching worlds first, waking up, and realizing it was still going on
1:02 I thought that was D2 until you pulled out ex machina 😂
Sparrow race in grasp was pretty cool, but it was really short
Aksis hard mode while completing the challenge was right up there with Riven (non-cheese) imo. It was chaotic in a good way, very challenging, and was one of the 1st raid encounters that required every team member to be on point or would wipe,there was no carrying the weak player. Val Ca'our was amazing too, especially with the restricted loadouts we had to run with, if you ever went back and played him post Forsaken the encounter was significantly easier, still was fun as hell though. I feel that you put the Sanctified Mind way to high, it was a decently challenging encounter the first couple times you ran it but it got incredibly easy once the mechanics were dialed in. It was fun putting enemies down quickly with the recluse (pre-nerf) but I felt that it was easily one of the most boring final boss encounters Bungie has ever given us (even Crota was always fun to watch even if you didn't do the damage).
Some of my favorites are:
The Vault from last wish
The Rapture from DSC
Pretty much all of vow
Just to name a few.
Bro you're smoking something on some of these ratings
