Quick disclaimer since I see quite a few people have this misunderstanding: this was completed on MASTER difficulty, not normal difficulty. I am aware the raid has been duo flawlessed, even solo flawlessed, but that was done on normal mode. As far as I'm aware this is the first duo flawless completion of the MASTER mode of Root of Nightmares.
I'm sure you could've figured out the first two encounters on warlock, not sure why you did a character change, but that's not really a flawless challenge having a character swap. Wouldn't call it a flawless run, but still amazing.
At first I thought that was a normal 2 man flawless and I was like "pff already done" then I read the video title again and spat out my morning coffee Damn impressive 👏
I’ve gotten so used to seeing warlocks in this kind of content so I was a little shocked when I saw you throw that hammer at the legionary in the first encounter, I’m not used to seeing titans in this kind of stuff lmao. Good run, amazing stuff!
Hunter is the only class you won't see in environments like this. Other classes all have sustain or ways to hide while dealing damage during boss damage phases, while also providing much more utility at the same time
There is a discord server dedicated to lowmans (discord.gg/lowman). I recommend you check it out if you want to get started with doing lowmans, there's plenty of people willing to teach beginners how to do them.
Incredible job. I like how you acknowledge the difficulty of this challenge unlike other people who would be like, yea it took us 10 hours to do but it was still easy
btw if a barrier champion puts up their shield you can still freeze them by going inside with conditional finality and shooting them from there, they won't take any damage but will get frozen which takes down their shield
@@ps5bloodthirsty They can't stomp while their shield is up. Also, with the right amount of resilience and proper resist mods, you won't get one-shot by a stomp in master.
This is annoying to duo on normal let alone duo flawless on master so huge amount of respect for this achievement! I wonder will we ever see a master solo flawless now.
this is insane man, incredible job, both of you! It woulda been interesting to hear your comms tho, was there any point in which you guys were panicking or had this been so rehearsed you knew exactly what you were doing the whole way through?
If there's ever a catalyst for this raids exotic, these 2 should just be given it by default for doing this, 2 man Master flawless root of nightmares?!? I can't even find a decent lfg for Master nez let alone a full master run. Hats off to you boys
These are the loadouts I used for Explicator and Nezarec: Explicator running loadout: dim.gg/sxe5d6i/Raid Explicator damage loadout: dim.gg/cx6luta/Raid Nezarec running loadout: dim.gg/ir2mvzy/Raid Nezarec damage loadout: dim.gg/6w7g2si/Raid Nezarec ammo loadout: dim.gg/laylhfq/Raid Nezarec Felwinter's loadout: dim.gg/s3xiivy/Raid Nezarec final stand loadout: dim.gg/pq75bza/Raid
Pretty much, if you miss the debuff you'd need perfect damage from both players in order to reach the minimum required per phase. At most you could miss 2 debuffs, but that would mean you'd have to do perfect damage on 3 phases in order to have a chance at clearing.
That's because when Nezarec starts going up in the sky, his actual full damage hitbox remains on the gound. For example if my rockets hit for 100k while he's on the ground, I'd hit maybe like 60k when he's in the sky. So instead of losing out on damage I reapply witherhoard in that time and shoot 1-2 fusion rifle shots.

I’m assuming that you need the weaken from felwinters to get enough dmg
Pretty much, if you miss the debuff you'd need perfect damage from both players in order to reach the minimum required per phase. At most you could miss 2 debuffs, but that would mean you'd have to do perfect damage on 3 phases in order to have a chance at clearing.
Hey I'm new to raiding and stuff can you tell why you using fusion rifle before switching to hothead?
Sry if it sounds dumb

Yes, he did. I have his POV linked in the video description.
@@SotoD2 thank u so much
I have not done this so I am probably wrong but in my brain for the second encounter using strand seams easier. Is keeping restoration that valuable?
This was done in season 21, before banner of war existed and before the restoration nerfs, so strand wasn't as strong as it is right now.
I am sorry my brain was lagging

Solo is so impressive.
Amazing
somehow ur duo can manage to do more dps on master than my entire lfg team on normal bruh

Duo flawless faster than my lfg can finish
this is wizardry :D
Good shit🐐
question, why do you get restoration after hitting the nodes in the beginning ?
There's a raid mod called "Release Recover" that gives you restoration x1 (or x2 if you have 4 mods equipped) when you lose a field of light/darkness buff. Since you lose the buff when you melee the nodes, it grants you the effect of the raid mod.
what exotic were you using to titan skate, trying to learn.
Lion Rampant along with catapult lift is what you need to use on titan in order to sword fly.
Ggs
You could’ve added world’s fastest also to the title
I play on xbox you think you can help. I have not the any of the new rates.
Wait so your telling me that someone was able to solo flawless RoN before Duo? HOLYYY
Yeah, people managed to solo flawless the raid on normal mode before anyone did the duo flawless on master mode.
what aspects/fragments are you running for this on warlock
On Explicator I run heat rises and touch of flame with ember of resolve, empyrean, torches and solace. For Nezarec I run the same fragments, but with icarus dash and heat rises for aspects.
🐐

Awesome man, Respect gg
whats the ruling on the char swap at the start of 3? you spawned in dead, which logically to me, means dead run. I could be very wrong though
Character swaps (even if you spawn in dead) are not considered to be player deaths by Bungie's API since nothing in the game has actually killed you. Thus, the run is considered flawless and it also appears as such on the Raid Report clear.
@@SotoD2 sick, didn't know that. Fuck yeah man, stellar run either way.
fucking bonkers

Radiant gives you anti-barrier on any gun that doesn't already have a champion mod.

@@SotoD2 They work. Appreciate you taking the time to send these through man.
At 41:18 how did you proc restoration x2?
There's a raid mod called "Release Recover". If you run 4 of those you will get restoration x2 when you lose the field of light/dark.
@@SotoD2 thanks mate
Anyone reason you guys did 1 Hunter 1 Warlock for 3-4 vs 2 Warlocks? Also congratulations.
You're not hitting damage without 1 hunter on any of the bosses, you need gathering storm to be able to deal enough damage per phase.
