One thing that truly impressed me what that if you made ONE single mistake, it was over. But you did everything perfectly and flawlessly! This is truly awesome to watch and I praise you for your accomplishment! Great work, Guardian!
+SwiftyLovesYou Destiny is not like Diablo. Enemies do not get stronger based on the size of the fireteam. Like many have said before me, it comes down to less game mechanics when you solo it. Less mechanics means less BS to worry about, therefore you avoid a lot of the stupidity of the game and/or players making it easier for some to solo. I myself would solo crota every week because I was tired of stupid people not doing what was needed.
+SwiftyLovesYou tell that to the many many many times I've solo'd stuff after my fireteam died with no trouble at all. you just really suck at the game. the difficulty is not based on your fireteam it has already been preset jack ass.
Frick Yuo bich Lol nerds are the ones making money, so thanks for the compliment. Its funny how much you're cursing, it shows how much of a stupid fuck you really are lol, idiot.
I remember myself saying before I stopped playing Destiny, "there's no way someone is gonna solo this boss, unlike his shitty son". I guess it runs in the family or something.
You, are now a legend, forever to be spoken of... You will not be forgotten, my dear friend. Your tremendous victory has put a positive impact on us all... We thank you.
I know not many people have watched this, and the general public couldn't care less. Most would call you names and assume you live in a basement... But this was one of the greatest gaming achievements of all time, by all who contributed. I got a chill when I saw you "frighten everyone" as Oryx died. Gaming history. And you have my utmost respect.
Considering it took a team of over a half dozen people over 100 combined hours to figure out how to do, I'd say it is, yes. It's the hard mode of the most difficult boss in one of the biggest games ever made, designed for 6 players to tackle, and I can say from immense experience that it's never easy, even for 6 people working very closely together. For one person to be able to do it solo... one of the greatest gaming achievements ever (I did not say THE greatest). May I ask for some examples of things you thought were more impressive than this?
+Chris Voss Yup Triple Tap 1k Yard Stare, it's needed for this. Switched Starfire Protocol to the Y1 while popping a Heavy Synth as the +Heavy Ammo and +Fusion Rifle Ammo on the Y1 stacks, giving you 15 rounds. Then when you swap back you keep the 15 rounds ^^
+Esoterickk So I dont have a triple tap but I'm willing to try. Crap do I have to use a year 1 SP? Where they both year one? I'd love to learn to do this with me or another player cause I get tired of teams that cant do it. Plus it looks fun.
***** Definitely need a triple tap unfortunately. Don't have to use the Y1 SP, its just helpful. They weren't both Y1, the other is Y2. Y2 Starfire is kinda needed though, the extra Sniper ammo helps a lot. In the description I've got all the gear you need to use listed, so should help you out for reference.
Me and my Fireteam were stuck on Totems for over 2 HOURS! In a different raid team, we completed Totems on the 1st try in 10 minutes, same again but on Warpriest. They messed about and one of my friends (he was helping his son) invited me. I joined his game and Xbox Party and when it kept going on he said "I'm sorry for bringing you into this." I'd already left too when he said that because I could cope. His son was also playing League of Legends at the same time because we were wondering what he was doing because he wasn't moving. He was watching his son
This is absolutely incredible. I loved watching it and analyzing your gear choices. There is a beautiful economy of movement here where there are no wasted jumps, no movement without purpose. Great work, Guardian!!
and they say that warlocks are useless for the raid. see, this is what happens when you don't invite warlocks to your raid party. you miss out on a free carry.
warlocks dosent have it easy? titans have it easy, all u have to do as a titan is run for 5 seconds then press the melee button/shoulder charge , hunters have it easy, all they have to do is press the grenade button then wait/tripmine.
+Socrates you just that salty someone solod it and you probably have trouble doing with a fire team every week? Everytime he dies it says 320 light,, which is hardmode..lol
Got so nervous at the end with how close to the ledge you were standing, after all that, imagine just falling off haha also, why do you keep shooting the floor?
+JogdenPR Enemies register targets by the shots they output. The more shots, the higher the danger. He was shooting so the Ogres would think he's a danger and go Enraged so he could SS them
Warlocks have continuously shown us that, for all eldritch rituals of time-defiance, death-dodging, or god-gimping, setting yourself on fire universally makes everything easier!
This might be a stupid question, but how do you keep the acolytes from spawning? The eyes usually kill me almost instantly, yet you didn't seem to get shot by them at all?
+Laretheman Acolytes don't spawn until after you kill the ogres. The timeframe between his first ogre kill and the bomb detonation isn't long enough for the acolytes to spawn in fully, move into position, and ruin his day. One of the benefits of rushing things so much for hard mode, I guess.
Very very very impressed! Great job to you dude! Makes me happy to see destiny players like myself making new achievements ( not actual achievement on the console )
Mad props man. I seriously can't express how impressed I am. I was completely enthralled through that whole run. Not to mention the endless entertainment that is in the comments bellow...
+Album Interpretations Thats because after the update theyre faux 320's. They got to a high enough light level to do HM, but they have no clue WTF theyre doing. LFG is very frustrating right now. I sort of ditched doing the raid because of it.
I know I'm super late to this, but don't you need the spark from the torn between dimensions debuff? Is that part actually just straight up optional, and you only actually need the 4 platforms? I don't see the hive wizards being killed, either, but maybe that's because everything's going on so fast. I assume the blight bombs are also being detonated, but I can't see what's going on there either. Edit: ah, I see where the blight bombs come in.
i was about to say someone else did this but then i read descprtion, hard mode . good job just know your the "first" to have a solo kill of oryx that was recorded and posted first
i know i just said that. can you not read ? or you mean "good job just know your the "first" to have a solo kill of oryx that was recorded and posted first" ? let me correct myself then. He did a good job just so you know he was the first one to have a recoding of him solo kill oryx on hard that was posted first.
At first I thought the same thing Magnum Pagan. However, if you look at 13:56 - 13:58 you can clearly see one of the knights (not the vessel) running across the screen right to left. Soon as I saw that I was like "omg...I suck at this game... (by comparison) Hats off to the guy who pulled this off. T'was impressive to say the least. I admit I've never stopped n thought to myself "hm, I think I'll solo oryx today." Well done sir.
From the description: This isn't Hard Mode, I don't see any Knights? 02:45 is one of the many times you can see the Light-eater Knights. One swings at me when the Vessel is on the other side of the room, and shortly after you can see another running behind the Vessel (as shown here: i.imgur.com/fQIB2ig.jpg ). The Solo strategy is to kill the Ogres late and detonate the bombs before the Knights can get there, hence why you don't see all of them. Not to mention each time I die Oryx has 320 light, whereas on Normal Mode it has 300 light per death.
+Larry Morris They're there, for the most part I'm a little faster than they reach the bombs, but you can see them nearly every time I detonate. 02:45 being an example of it
+Ivan vonTempske it's not relevant only change to the mode is the light eater knights which after yiu kill ogres yiur ginna detonate any way so it's the same thing regardless
this guy alone is better than most destiny lfg raid groups
+shadow336k Me and my friends (we didnt know the machanics except for one of my friends) couldnt even get to the platforming
damn right
***** no
Yes but not mine 😂😂
Not even close
Oryx: I have thousands of hive with an army of taken!
Ikora: We have a warlock
Gems4 Productions lol
One thing that truly impressed me what that if you made ONE single mistake, it was over.
But you did everything perfectly and flawlessly!
This is truly awesome to watch and I praise you for your accomplishment!
Great work, Guardian!
imagine your whole squad dying and you're just making them watch you solo it ^^
+Tobi386XD It would be impossible to get enough damage out if you were in a full squad.
+SwiftyLovesYou Destiny is not like Diablo. Enemies do not get stronger based on the size of the fireteam. Like many have said before me, it comes down to less game mechanics when you solo it. Less mechanics means less BS to worry about, therefore you avoid a lot of the stupidity of the game and/or players making it easier for some to solo.
I myself would solo crota every week because I was tired of stupid people not doing what was needed.
SPECxPyro Yes they absolutely 100% do get stronger when there is more people in your group..
+SwiftyLovesYou tell that to the many many many times I've solo'd stuff after my fireteam died with no trouble at all. you just really suck at the game. the difficulty is not based on your fireteam it has already been preset jack ass.
+SwiftyLovesYou says the noob that can't solo the pit in crota's end.
I had heard legends of Guardians such as this, but I never believed they were true.
Wtf
fucking nerd
Use caps before calling people nerds.
+The SixthPaths shut up fucking nerd
Frick Yuo bich Lol nerds are the ones making money, so thanks for the compliment. Its funny how much you're cursing, it shows how much of a stupid fuck you really are lol, idiot.
I remember myself saying before I stopped playing Destiny, "there's no way someone is gonna solo this boss, unlike his shitty son". I guess it runs in the family or something.
lol
"...the entire team wipes and he comes in with the clutch phrase" don't worry Guys I got this"

That was legitimately stressful to watch, even though I knew the outcome. Incredible.
All positive comments, a very rare sight. As it should be for such magnificence. I thank you for sharing.
Fuck u
Do you have to have triple tap on 1000 yard? Also why did you switch Starfire Protocols midway? Thanks dude you kicked butt
+Chris Voss Yup Triple Tap 1k Yard Stare, it's needed for this. Switched Starfire Protocol to the Y1 while popping a Heavy Synth as the +Heavy Ammo and +Fusion Rifle Ammo on the Y1 stacks, giving you 15 rounds. Then when you swap back you keep the 15 rounds ^^

No worries, and good luck with your attempts!
35 people that disliked this cant beat oryx with 6 people lolololol
Ikr 😂
I always find stupid people._.
+Jeremiah Phair and your also trash
+Jeremiah Phair I always find squeakers ._.
+Marlin Ford (Mofbo) I mean I went flawless and have full raid gear and am max light but okay
So people can solo this but with a group of 6 we have trouble picking out which plates are whose lol
YES! 😂😂😂
It's because so many people can't keep their shit straight, there's always that one idiot of the group
Me and my Fireteam were stuck on Totems for over 2 HOURS! In a different raid team, we completed Totems on the 1st try in 10 minutes, same again but on Warpriest.

He was watching his son
Well his dad was the one who wasn't doing anything
Bruh what if he had a team of warlocks
Congratulations, this is very impressive. I really appreciate the camaraderie between all you world's firsts.
This is absolutely incredible. I loved watching it and analyzing your gear choices. There is a beautiful economy of movement here where there are no wasted jumps, no movement without purpose. Great work, Guardian!!
You should be the next raid boss.
Nope too hard not even a 400 light level could beat him
Coming back after 4 years, still impressive. Also I like the emote choice at the beginning
Oryx:ROARRRRRRR
Eso:rOaRrrrrRr
Congrats on world's first! It was a fun race!
+Chad Thornburg (Textbook1987) Thanks dude, appreciate it! :D
and they say that warlocks are useless for the raid. see, this is what happens when you don't invite warlocks to your raid party. you miss out on a free carry.
When were warlocks ever useless? And who ever said that, cause they seem stupid, warlocks have it easy compared to other classes
+ZeroX that's what I'm saying Lil
+Lobo Bravo dammit auto correct you strike again
He could have died many on many occasions, yes his self resizing what useful but it's just very lucky
warlocks dosent have it easy? titans have it easy, all u have to do as a titan is run for 5 seconds then press the melee button/shoulder charge , hunters have it easy, all they have to do is press the grenade button then wait/tripmine.
This is brilliant. Seriously, hats off!
I completed Normal mode Oryx solo for the first time few hours ago only to find this video... GG man, you are insanely good player.
Orix just made 149 accounts just to dislike it
Oryx
+AU Syrex Trickshoter your probably right
Itz-Syrex- Solo nn
Yes
This is the most amazing thing anyone has ever done in destiny. Great job man! Truly inspiring work.
Killing Oryx in a fireteam on hard mode makes you a legend, killing Oryx by yourself on hard mode makes you a badass Legend!
Its normal mode
+Socrates Incorrect. 02:45 for example is one of the many times you can see the Light-eater Knights that are from HM.
+Socrates you just that salty someone solod it and you probably have trouble doing with a fire team every week? Everytime he dies it says 320 light,, which is hardmode..lol
it would be killing hard oryx in a fire team makes you a legand killing oryx on your own makes you a god
no... it makes u a god.
by far the best thing Iv ever seen in all of destiny... that's vid made a bad game day feel good...... just DAMM
you're a legend man. The need to name an exotic after you.Youre like the new osiris
Dude. Amazing feat man. Great job on soloing this. Must feel great to be the worlds first solo Oryx kill!
*on hard
This wasn't on hard. There was no light eater Knights
Ethan 02:45 one of the many times you can see Knights. Definitely on hard.
The light eater knights dont appear until after you kill the ogres
I always wave at Oryx as he floats off, love the scare! haha. Kick ass bro!
esoterickk, how long did it take it take you to be able to do this and how many run's of King's fall did you do beforehand?
Congratulations. You are the best Sunsinger in existence.
Best guardian in existence.
And this is how I learned how to solo oryx. I'm a 335 light now. Thx esoterickk
Well guys, we did it, oryx is no more...
Guys?
I cant even imagine doing this solo. You sir are a gaming god!
how did 63 people dislike this? great job!
+Ty Guy (Lightning TBT) It was probably all the cry babies that couldn't do it themselves.
I knew one of the top comments was going to be some salt shit (not this comment). Smfh, such haters.
People disliking it thought this was too hard. Imagine soloing on 390.
fantastic sniping man, and that 1st shade was hectic... so many thralls... probably the toughest moment, most unpredictable.
cant find a fireteam for the raid...... fuck it ill do it myself!
hell yeaaaaaaaaaah
Lfg
+Neatly Speed he was just making joke. not trying to get a fire team together. lol
and those are the latest words of the guardian.
u ply p3
You. Are. The. King. Bro, well done i actually watched the whole video. good job man.
Got so nervous at the end with how close to the ledge you were standing, after all that, imagine just falling off haha also, why do you keep shooting the floor?
+JogdenPR Enemies register targets by the shots they output. The more shots, the higher the danger. He was shooting so the Ogres would think he's a danger and go Enraged so he could SS them
That first shadow of Oryx kill was so clutch with that Triple Tap save like god damn.
You just made me a very proud Warlock 😉
Ikora should give him everything in the game for this
i second that lol
Kiplin Gordon WARLOCK MASTER RACE
'clapping loudly' well done well done! Bungie should send you a message congratulating your performance
they featured this video on the new this week at bungies
Warlocks have continuously shown us that, for all eldritch rituals of time-defiance, death-dodging, or god-gimping, setting yourself on fire universally makes everything easier!
Why does this comment not have more likes?!!! Like this you swine!!!
Hunters can kill warlock with one shot.
+Khalid JSs vice versa
+W G exotic part?
Wow. Congrats. So many things had to go right there (and none wrong). Very impressive stuff.
the 11 people who disliked this are probably titans...
+D.J. Dayola Im a titan.... And I liked it. Those 11 are the people who say CoD is good.
touche
+Gaming Hero For Life 11 people who liked the call of duty infite warfare trailer
shadow336k True.
+D.J. Dayola why titans?
This might be a stupid question, but how do you keep the acolytes from spawning? The eyes usually kill me almost instantly, yet you didn't seem to get shot by them at all?

You sir, are a legend! (Bow)
You have achieved the impossible. Congratulations on this huge success. What was the loadout that you used for this?
Crota's all like
I TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCK WITH HIM DADDY
Holy shit that was unbelievable. You got those Ogres tamed so good.
Lmao youtube thinks I want D1 version instead of D2, cool video
Music in this game was unbelievable man. This RAID was unbelievable. Good times
even if you think destiny is whack and don't play it anymore like me you still gotta respect this.
Congratz, man! Super impressive. I've never even finished Oryx in Normal mode, with a fireteam.
Jesus Christ it's Jason Bourne
one of those things where you have to see it to believe it! phenomenal upload!
Why can't i find people like you on LFG?
Cause players like that don't use LFG ; )
mmwosu :O
+mmwosu Damn.
+mmwosu damn boyyy
+Patpuc
Yea LFG, I'm looking for 0 more players to solo Oryx on hard.
Don't make much sense now does it?
Very very very impressed! Great job to you dude! Makes me happy to see destiny players like myself making new achievements ( not actual achievement on the console )
Oryx: the FRIIIIIICK?!?!?! THIS IS A DARKNESS ZONE?!?!?!
Honestly that is the funniest start to a video I've ever seen.
Bowser sure looks different.
+Segen that is petty funny
Mad props man. I seriously can't express how impressed I am. I was completely enthralled through that whole run. Not to mention the endless entertainment that is in the comments bellow...
"this is absolutely beast"
-everyone
how many tries did it take you to do this? (how many hours) And what was the hardest part in your opinion?
Rip Clarke
Yes hi hello it's me
+ClarkeyBoyy Adele?
hello yes what is up guys prodigy here
+ClarkeyBoyy rip the dream
I don't even know what to say.
That was.... amazing. Very well achieved.
And that my friends, is why I main a warlock
+Alex R. Because they have an "uh-oh" button?
+Slashbag69 lol! That made me laugh man, haha. So using that one 😂
+Slashbag69 titans all have that button
+Zhiroh That's news to me...
+Zhiroh How do I self res as a Titan?
How do you do this? I cant even do it with a full fire team on normal
I was hoping he'd fall of at the end xD
Same
Me too I was going laugh so hard if he fell off
Well executed! Nice job man. Very cool to watch the whole thing play out.
Gg dude gg.
This is seriously amazing still five years later
and that folks is why WARLOCKS are the MASTER RACE
You know it.
Back here again after watching your attempt at Kings fall solo in D2.
He killed oryx with an emote 👻 wow
Good work. I'm going to show this to my team of 6 that couldn't beat this..
Yet I can't beat him with a full fireteam of 320+s
+Album Interpretations Thats because after the update theyre faux 320's. They got to a high enough light level to do HM, but they have no clue WTF theyre doing. LFG is very frustrating right now. I sort of ditched doing the raid because of it.
I know I'm super late to this, but don't you need the spark from the torn between dimensions debuff? Is that part actually just straight up optional, and you only actually need the 4 platforms? I don't see the hive wizards being killed, either, but maybe that's because everything's going on so fast. I assume the blight bombs are also being detonated, but I can't see what's going on there either.
Edit: ah, I see where the blight bombs come in.
should've used shadow clone jutsu
Lol best comment so far 😂
which perk gives 1000 yard stare an additional shot? I counted his shots and watched his ammo counter, last round in the mag is shot twice?
triple tap: landing three precision shots returns one round to the magazine.
I can't even 6 man this
+vFantastix HD Same
Do it with Drake
i was about to say someone else did this but then i read descprtion, hard mode . good job just know your the "first" to have a solo kill of oryx that was recorded and posted first
He is the FIRST to have a SOLO kill on Oryx hard mode.
i know i just said that. can you not read ?
or you mean "good job just know your the "first" to have a solo kill of oryx that was recorded and posted first" ?
let me correct myself then. He did a good job just so you know he was the first one to have a recoding of him solo kill oryx on hard that was posted first.
Yeah booooyyyyyyyyyyyy!! :D
Amazing work dude. Brilliant.
Are you a god?
no just just a god killer :)
+MrCatseyes01 The God of God Killers
At first I thought the same thing Magnum Pagan. However, if you look at 13:56 - 13:58 you can clearly see one of the knights (not the vessel) running across the screen right to left. Soon as I saw that I was like "omg...I suck at this game... (by comparison) Hats off to the guy who pulled this off. T'was impressive to say the least. I admit I've never stopped n thought to myself "hm, I think I'll solo oryx today." Well done sir.
and this is not the herd mode raid wheres the light eater nights
From the description:
This isn't Hard Mode, I don't see any Knights?
02:45 is one of the many times you can see the Light-eater Knights. One swings at me when the Vessel is on the other side of the room, and shortly after you can see another running behind the Vessel (as shown here: i.imgur.com/fQIB2ig.jpg ). The Solo strategy is to kill the Ogres late and detonate the bombs before the Knights can get there, hence why you don't see all of them. Not to mention each time I die Oryx has 320 light, whereas on Normal Mode it has 300 light per death.
are you blind look at 2:40 to 2:49 you should get an eye exam. just because you can't beat it doesnt mean you have to hate on people who can
BORNtaPLAY
Yeah dude you can easily see them
I was thinking the same thing until I went and looked more closely they are there
Hey Esoterickk, where are the knights that spawn on Hard Mode Raid? Did they take those out?
+Larry Morris They're there, for the most part I'm a little faster than they reach the bombs, but you can see them nearly every time I detonate. 02:45 being an example of it
+Esoterickk yep they are there
this isn't world first jist saying
Link to what was? Everyone is damn certain he did it first
Ivan vonTempske so suck it maybe look it up forst
The video I linked was world second 8 months ago this guy's vid was 3 sooo lol
You're the one that has to prove it with the comment you made. And yeah, doing research shows Esoteric did it first on Heroic
+Ivan vonTempske it's not relevant only change to the mode is the light eater knights which after yiu kill ogres yiur ginna detonate any way so it's the same thing regardless
how did you do the first part of the raid? did you needed a team for that or did the hole thing solo?
Needed a team for the rest as it can't be solo'd. Just did Oryx from the checkpoint ^^
G fucking g
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. Much respect. Will be attempting this soon!!!
Years later this is still impressive as hell.
Well done Esoterickk no way I could do this keep up the good work
I'm speechless... my deepest compliments!
I want to ask can you upload the full 25 hour video and to ask do you sleep while you playing 25 hours
Congrats man, Congrats!!!!! 👏👏👏👏
As always learning from the master👍 Great work!
People who're saying it's fake are hella salty that they can't even do it with 6 people, great job by achieving this
Really good. How come u got chased by that light thing in the first round coz I only recall getting teleported on each round on hard mode
