32:30 is great. After seemingly keeping his calm during the entire Atraks-I section, which is genuinely insane considering how much of it rides on perfect execution and being lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, this swarm of shanks and captains is enough to cause panic and confusion. Eso truly is just something else.
@@pazuzuzozo3010 big talk from someone on the internet, especially considering I only said he was calm, not that he wasn't bitching or complaining at the game. Sit down, shut up, and enjoy the damn video.
I mean lets face the truth soloing a raid is easier then doing trials (i know some of you might say its based on how everyone is playing but its most likely someone who went flawless over 70+ times whos going against ur team)
Eso needs his own title, “godslayer” that is completely unique to him and nobody else has. Also should have a unique diamond guild effect that no other title had
Love that you made this, great vid. Descent seems to be possible as Saltagreppo is still attempting/streaming solo attempts as we speak. AI difficulty seems to have bumped up in difficulty in DSC and seraph rounds for staggering enemies was nerfed making solo descent even harder. But crypt security was defs patched.
I get what you mean, but it took much much much longer in total for esoterickk considering the amount of attempts it takes for these things. For example, solo descent is very very finicky and is by far the hardest encounter to solo. I'm going to guess it took 15+ hours of just attempts for all 4 encounters, mainly 2 and 3 since 4 is trivial.
@@Iamallwaysright1 well, we're a dedicated clan that is pretty chill. We usually do the raid once a week and have roles for members that they're comfortable with. We don't have solo flawless because we don't actively try for it and someone always dies in the jumping puzzle part.
I don't know what I've just witnessed but I recognize the time commitment and constant crispy concentration and smooth skill it took to complete the task. 👍
Not going to lie, I got worried when you pulled out the bastion cause I knew this was spliced but then read the description and understood that you said that and weren't trying to fool anyone. Anyway. This is great work!!
Thanks Eso. The bosses for the next planned raid quit after seeing this video so it might be a while before we get another one. Lol….but seriously Great work as usual. I am in awe.
Bro I've been watching you solo for years. It's gotten to the point where you should be in the game as a lore item.. the guardian who needed no one! Or something like that lol
He doesn’t need a lore item. They talk about him enough in the game if you listen. Every time they mention “The Guardian” (usually it’s Zavala who won’t shut up about him) they are talking about Esoterickk.
The hours of play testing different subclasses, weapons, and strategies must be ridiculous. The amount of focus needed is incredible. Not to mention if you die its a wipe because you have no teammates to revive you. Two thumbs up dude. I could never even attempt this.
Well. I just discovered the raid with this video. It seems quite epic tho, and also impossible solo. I dont know how much time you put in that, but i'm way more than just impressed
Bungie needs to appreciate what Esoterickk has done here; not only has he solo'd DSC, but, afaik, is one of only TWO people to beat Descent solo. Regardless of the glitches that might have made this possible, it's also about the fact that he does GM nightfalls solo, legitimately, and Dungeons when they release. Greatly under power level. Then proceeds to provide all information required, without any YT fluff, straight to point and never expects some sort of reward. BUNGIE: This guy is a straight up PVE god, and should be acknowledged rightly. Give him the bright dust emote, or shader, whatever, that is due. ESOTERICKK deserves a place in the Destiny (lore) history books.
Bungie : "Raids are 6-player cooperative assassination missions that are of high challenge, and require communication between players to succeed." Esoterickk:
This guy knows how it feels to chew five gum, he was born into this world and thanked his dad for temporarily taking his place as man of the house, when he rolls up to a drive through he asks them what they want to order, when food is delivered to him, the delivery man tips him. He. Is. God.
They said they fixed it but it’s not true, still possible. Unfortunately they fixed Seraph Rounds though so you need to use duskfields to pull people and it’s harder
That's weird, but very good to know. Happy to hear it's still possible, even if it does seem to be quite a bit harder. Hope to see your video soon, good luck!
Esoterickk Wanted to practice 40 mins after dinner, wans’t even streaming, and I got it done! Luckily I was recording though so video will be up later today if you are curious about the new method!
I was feeling pretty pleased with myself after soloing my first 1350 master lost sector thought I'd now be up for my first raid after 3 months playing hmmm nope this was great to watch though doubt is ever be able to do any raids not enough friends who play and I Damn sure I could never do this lol you must of if played this hundreds of times to be that good ☆☆☆☆☆
Generally pretty calm for everything. The only time I was stressed during this was the last 2 rounds of Descent, as that encounter is pretty crazy and long

They haven't patched the joining allies on descent, only change that affects it is seraph rounds so you need to pull them with duskfield instead
What can i say after this... Just wooow!!!!
Well done Esoterickk! (The third raid to be soloed between D1/2)

Lol yeah he shook his head too
There multiple, his left nut, his right nut and hus body
ESO and his ghost😂
He went from soloing Vault of Glass 5 years ago to soloing the latest raid. EDIT: He solo'd the D2 Vault of Glass.
And then he will solo the first and latest raid again
He soloed the kings fall as well
@@shrestharajesh so did many other people
@@CapCody he wasn't first to solo lol

Only saw this in season of the lost, i watched every second of this in disbelief. you are the goat
If this man was a boss in a game, it wouldn't need god mode turned on, they would never even make it past the corridor.
He uploads a new video “solo Area 51 raid”
😂😂
I just wanted to say-I watched ALL of this video. You’re amazing.
I'd love it if bungie named a boss Esoterick The Boundless. As just a way to really bond with the community
Esoterick must be the person that kills the guardians
That boss wouldn't be able to be beaten.
They can't do that because that means it would be beatable. Instead it could be a secret Easter egg boss hidden somewhere that you can't kill.
They could name the next incarnation of Randal, Randal the Esoterickk
He truly deserves the Descendant title..
no... ascendant.
Eso needs his own title, “godslayer” that is completely unique to him and nobody else has. Also should have a unique diamond guild effect that no other title had
they made raids specifically for 6 people, yet esoterickk still chooses no as his answer
Glad you added the Nova bomb thing at the end because I had no clue how you killed him out of the gate with anarchy and chaos reach.
I could not stop watching this is the best I've seen from destiny2 no jokes, grate stuff bro.

Do you and The Doom Slayer just hang out on the weekends and compare accomplishments.
Before I watch the vid. I can't believe what I'm going to watch lol. You are legend.
This is my fav raid, massive respect for this man. Incredible.
Just wanted to say thanks for helping me and my boys get our Conquers title. Your videos are worth there weight in ascendant shards!
Bungie: "Eso which encounter can you solo on DSC..?"
Esoterickk: "Yes."
Day 1: Atraks killing teams left and right
Day X, Esoterickk killing teams of Atraks left and right.

Well well, how the turntables

Savathun to Esoterickk:” what are you gonna do with that little thing?…Are you gonna shoot the Darkness?”

just want to say the sound quality on your videos is unmatched. :)
You know I was wondering what you were doing Nova-Bombing him even when it was saying he was immune. Then I was enlightened. This is insane.
epic gameplay man, good work
You are literally insane!!
I don’t care what anyone else says this guys a legend
I believe that Esoterickk is the official guardian of the Destiny story. This is a guardian worthy of respect
I think we were all waiting for this video.
This is insane. Also huge new found respect from Karnstein!
And here's me who carnt even get first chest without problems pmsl hats off to you bro you are the one true gardian
Why would anyone put a dislike to this? Some weirdos in the world 🙄
Awesome PvE feat, another one ticked off your list...
