As a heads up currently Firepower is bugged so for Warlock switch it out for Ember of Wonder and Reaper on the class item that way you make orbs after a kill with a weapon.
I love speedrunning this dungeon over and over again, so I'm glad you put together some information on running after the linear changes that happened with Lightfall. Thing is, when you start DPS on warlock are you ignoring harpies? Taking time to deal with harpies takes time away from the speedrun, but ignoring them prevents you from sniping Akelous with Cataclysmic in a well due to flinching. Kind of a crazy damage strategy I have for getting around this while speedrunning is to use a melee when done with eyes to get Radiant and moving forward while doing damage to ignore harpies. A Cataclysmic with fourth times will allow 10 shots and on my 10th shot I instead shoot an enemy on the side to reproc Radiant due to Rain of Fire, which also helps reload my weapons with an Icarus Dash since Weakened Clear is gone. I know it's way too much for a normal solo run, just don't want to deal with the harpies. I'm looking for a better way to deal with this situation so I don't have to do such a weird strategy. I suppose since you're focused on a solo run the time spent on harpies isn't a big deal which means you're likely dealing with them in some capacity. Anyway thanks for the help!
The first time I finished this in solo I used thundercrash titan witt cuirass and Ir Yuts song, I recommend this if you dont have a good trace rifle or a linear to break the eyes
8:45 at the end of Akelous dps phases, how are you able to stand still and not get booped off the map by the harpy knockback blast? Does being in the air do more knockback to you, so being on the ground keeps you on the map? Does being farther away from the center where the blast comes from knock you back less? Does it depend on how much damage you do during the dps phase, or how fast you take out the eyes?
Either take cover or stay really far away from him, you could drop into the catwalk thing and it protects you from the blast. I think you do receive a little knockback when you’re far away but it IS much less than standing next to him. DPS phase depends on how fast you break the eyes, if you take really long im pretty sure he yeets you away before he even makes it to the center.
I’ve resorted to my Taipan instead. It’s not as good as a bait n switch cataclysmic, but it works. Just need to be patient for this boss and not fall through a hole when you only have 1 damage phase left like I did last night 🙂
@@ItsNausicc Yeah, I ended up running it today with Sleeper just because it made the most sense. Was able to finish the boss faster today than I would have yesterday. Sleeper is just better.
Im just about to buy a carry for that whenever im at 15% he goes left bottom of damage plate and yeets me to the right no way to survive it not even with grapple as i get yeeted by bugs
That was just from DPS testing. I wanted to see different strats from hunter since I don't play hunter alot and wanted to make sure it was the highest dps
Did you concider rain of fire for the warlock. you can easaly have the hole damage phase raidiant so you dont need to stay in the well also your relode is faster that means sleeper would more interesting. also you have an exo with a good use and for the add clear damage prep you could still use nade spam with starfire.
One time i was half way through his health bar, i thought fuck it ive got a ton of ammo. So i shot a sleeper round at a minotaur, this mf shot rebounded and insta death and im pretty sure i rebounded twice before killing me.
My problem with the solo flawless was the boss spawning underneath me and insta killing me. One attempt i hit the last node. Went to damage, saw him in the distance waiting. Then instead of coming flying towards me this mf pulls a fucking groundhog move and insta kills me. 😂

hi cc
I find a rapid fusion much easier to destroy the eyes because you can swing it and get 2 eyes in one shot. I used riptide
My problem is I don't shoot the eyes fast enough and my damage phase is ridiculously short. It would take 50+ damage phases at my rate.😢😢😢
I fix this adding a fast reload mod for the smg
A trace rifle helps
Try solar surge with a trace rifle (solar)
I’m running into this as we speak. Taking a break rn
Best of luck all. Don't get discouraged. This dungeon is silly funny.

Great explanation and editing on this my dude
Drank a pot of coffee before watching this to make sure I could keep up
This was awesome man!
Idk I guess because it is from an old meta I kind of “slept” on Sleeper!
Thanks for the tips.

I just ignore the harpies on warlock since they are basically not able to kill warlocks in a well. I usually don't miss, maybe 1 shot at most
I would like to speedrun this dungeon but I have no idea of what to do
The first time I finished this in solo I used thundercrash titan witt cuirass and Ir Yuts song, I recommend this if you dont have a good trace rifle or a linear to break the eyes
5:08 LMAO. That minotaur got fking YEETED. 😂
I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE LMAO

All I did was keep moving forward and not jump or anything. I was also slightly down the steps
Did they fix where the gathering storm spear would go through the boss’s crit spot?
That didn't happen to me, so it seems like it!
Can you type out the weapons you use? Couldnt understand what you said for your primary
I personally would use the load out of
-Riptide - Chill Clip
-Hallowed Denial - Repulsor brace & Lead From Gold
- Sleeper
Ophidian on DPS also viable
Eyes is the issue for me I just can’t do it quick energy so
It does take some practice. Your best option is to use something that has frenzy on it and then you should also benefit from armour charge/surge.
Can I get level 11 just doing the boss at check point or do I need to do the complete dungeon?
It needs to be the full thing unfortunately
What is the point of running normal mode dungeons? I’m pretty new
Loot. The Dungeon weapons tend to be pretty strong compared to other sources! Master mode just give good armor
@@ItsNausicc Thank you!
Any substitutes to not having the cataclysmic? Currently on Harpy rn for a solo run lol
I’ve resorted to my Taipan instead. It’s not as good as a bait n switch cataclysmic, but it works. Just need to be patient for this boss and not fall through a hole when you only have 1 damage phase left like I did last night 🙂
Sleeper. It hits very similar numbers! Every other LFR is just worse in ever regard. But if you don't have either then yea I guess Taipan
@@ItsNausicc Yeah, I ended up running it today with Sleeper just because it made the most sense. Was able to finish the boss faster today than I would have yesterday. Sleeper is just better.
Literally watch the video lol
Amazing guide really helped me out. Only problem is i have 0 trace rifle i my vault and other characters anyways you deserve a sub from me :)
I recommend going either for the dares trace or the new raid trace! They are going to be the easiest to get currently! Thank you so much!
@@ItsNausicc thanks! Just one last question to get the triumph do i have to do the whole dungeon in 1 sit or can i leave and join again?
@@UncleRogerGotTheWater Unfortunately its all 1 run
Im just about to buy a carry for that whenever im at 15% he goes left bottom of damage plate and yeets me to the right no way to survive it not even with grapple as i get yeeted by bugs
Any purpose for dying after the damage phase?
That was just from DPS testing. I wanted to see different strats from hunter since I don't play hunter alot and wanted to make sure it was the highest dps
What damage resists should we be running?

If you actually watch the video you’ll see that he mentions it
@@theflappycow4573 oh then i was not paying enough attention or was distracted at that moment
Any substitute for Solar Titan’s power weap if I don’t have cataclysmic?
Sleeper. It's also easier to use the cata
Is radiant not 15% not 25?
It is 25%!

🐐
is using 1K voice, good for him
1k doesn't do enough damage to be worth.
My problem with the solo flawless was the boss spawning underneath me and insta killing me. One attempt i hit the last node. Went to damage, saw him in the distance waiting. Then instead of coming flying towards me this mf pulls a fucking groundhog move and insta kills me. 😂
6:09 this is Bungies biggest fuck you to controller players
Bro just admitted he can’t aim
@@Abrahamsilverbit are you stupid?
Yep fr I just can’t shoot them quick enough
Bruh firepower doesnt work because atleast for me you cant pick up your own orbs. It says hey you generated one but it doesnt appear for me/you
They broke firepower with the last update. Its a bungie moment. Hopefully they fix it soon, it broke all my warlock builds
@@ItsNausicc well thats aids
