I love how vicious and unrelenting he is. The fact he’s shouting while attacking really makes it feel like a fight.
i like the new trend bungies doing with their raids
bosses dont just sit there while you do damage
they actually fight back and try to kill you
@@sheeb3325sadly nezarec was just a fat tormentor
Vicious and unrelenting? Hahahahaa yikes you clearly don't play games with good bosses. This guy just bounces you around like you're playing super smash bros
You guys will eat anything up huh. He’s just a tormentor with a different model. Easily top 2 worst DLC
@@tyd3179 it isn’t even that bad tbh, sure it’s weak but like this isn’t a shit expansion by any means
Not gonna lie, having Raid bosses that actually move around the battlefield and not staying in place, makes it way more interesting.
Not sure, they stayed near the ledge, didnt jump (or couldnt) and they used swords. Previous bosses would be harder, as they would stomp 24/7. lol
@@GeoGyf yeah but every boss having a stomp mechanic is lame. I’m glad they’re moving away from that because while it makes things more difficult it’s also less fun which is what I care about.
This should go without saying. Its immensely fucking dumb that we have Raid bosses that literally just sit there and let you kill them. Its dumb as fuck.
@@aarongregory4980 I understand, but at the same time Nezarec's AI seems exploitable.
Indeed. When I first came to play Destiny and eventually did raids, I found it somewhat boring that most of the time bosses just shot at you from a distance or "chased" us droningly while shooting (like Taniks's final form). They were challenging alright, but not riveting threatening.
I spent a good 5 years playing World of Warcraft WotLK and was used to intense face to face encounters - my actual favourite was in the Crusader's Coliseum where you squared up against the opposite Faction Champions; a 25-man raid group against 15 Bosses in a massive brawl of agrro-ing, CC-ing, and micro-ing; just chaos and fun.
When Vow of the Disciple came out, I was very pleased at Rhulk's encounter; for me he was the first boss to actually "fight" you.
Seeing Day 1 raiders go up against Nezarec and see him charge-slamming people and straight up reaping them, damn that was very enjoyable to see.
Can't wait for my Clan to go against him ourselves!
I feel bungie should’ve added a line of how nezarec loved the pain in that fight and that he’ll be back for more or something, new favorite raid final boss
and him saying "thank you for the pain, daddy"
Pain! This is why I fight!
Marvel dialouge 💀
"It's painy time!"
@@hervisdaubeny2784 have you seen nimbus lol
Nezerac was definitely meant to be able to jump up to the platforms, because is Health makes a little more sense when it purely weapon damage since you’re suppressed.
Nezerac is furious that he was rejected by both the light and the dark and we are accepted by both. Awesome. Our guardians really are special
I have been rocking Nezarecs sin on my Warlock ever since I got my grubby little hands on it 4 years ago. Have been following the lore for even longer and to stand in front of him in his helmet after all this time in game was great, one of bungies best raid bosses imo.
Thank you for these. Used them to hear all the Nezarec voice lines.
One thing's for sure, bungie absolutely nails the music and the visuals
Josh Mosser did an incredible job with this track.
Loved the eldritch vibe this one has.
And the armors despite looking goofy actually is pretty cool and fitting for the raid visuals (the hunter cloak is the funniest shit I've ever seen).
@@blueveil3277 The warlock one giving you extra arms is great lmao.
@@aarongregory4980 indeed it is. I just wish it was more symetric. I mean, two extra arms in the left, two on the right
Nezarec has been such a cool and built up character and I think the fact that they chase you around and shout throughout the fight is just fire
who's they
@@battlerifle8642 nezarec
@@smallspace6896 Nezarec is one entity. He's not a group.
@@battlerifle8642 I mean the word “they” can be singular also.
@@lasershark0519 For what? Stop bastardising the english language.
For those saying Nezarec looks like a big tormentor, it’s the other way around 🙂
I need to learn from Byf. I thought they were from the same place as Rhulk. But also I thought he wiped out his whole species. Either way, they are my favorite new enemies
@@fondue4kill no it's in the names God of Pain and - Tormentors
He literally looks like a tormentor
@@fondue4kill Also during the campaign we fight a few that literally have "imprint of Nezerec" in their name
Still a reskin though… for both bosses.
Nezarec is doing his job wrong. He’s supposed to standstill and let us hit him during damage phase.
Looks like a badass fight.
I love how Bungie designed it. I‘m kinda fed up with those huge and static bosses. Even though I love every single raid, my favorite boss until now has been Rhulk, for he is agile and his crit points are relatively small. Makes everything more challenging and makes even more sense. I think they did a wonderful job creating Nezarec alike.
Nah I think he learned from rhulk
Also too bad once contest is over he's gonna get farmed faster then templar due to either star fire or that his health is pretty low
Disciples just groove differently
Don't worry just jump on a platform and he'll stand still for you
This is one of the coolest looking raids they’ve ever made
Vow looks way better IMO
@@titanmode3888 Vow looks like the same boring angular pyramid bullshit that we’ve seen since Arrivals. This looks visually unique to anything we’ve seen.
@@obscurit_y4536 last wish was better
@@obscurit_y4536 this is like pride flag all over the place
@@titanmode3888 well your opinion is wrong
Excited to watch you solo this. Congrats king
I see No Symbols to remember so I’m happy
Thank fuck for that
Man I love that y'all did the damage down on the ground face to face with him. Everyone else sitting up high where he couldnt get to them. Y'all had the balls to get in there and really scrap it out lol
Raid looks very fun and might be the best looking raid ever. Just cause it was cleared fast doesn’t mean it’s bad 🤷♂️
it is definitely next to leviathan for best design imo
Yeah, wrath was solved faster but that’s known as one of the best raids ever
Couldnt have agreed more!
It just means it's not too hard to do
Edit: but I do wish it was a bit longer at least imo
It's painful trust me
Get your cups ready, WERE MAKIN A SECOND SERVING OF NEZCAFÉ TONIGHT
The best thing about Nezarecs design has to be his voice.
One could only dream of having teammates who don’t die every 5 seconds
Damn after watching redeem clear it’s insane how much higher their dps was compared to everyone else like more than double
Fusion nades are beyond insane for DPS. Its pretty much a handicap to not use them
@@gavinhendricks8689 I believe redeem only had 2 maybe 3 solar warlocks not sure though
They need to Increase nezeracs health and make make it where they can get hit on the pads. Warlocks are beyond op and it's unfair
@@smexy_a393
This has to be a joke LOL
@@smexy_a393let warlocks have fun. Titans got hoil for a couple seasons before they nerfed them
The Armor and Weapons are now visible in collections!
And the Warlock's Robes are bizzarely cool.
They are indeed.
They still say classified
@@anthonyweiss76 strange. Try restarting the game. Has the cutscene played for you?
@@anthonyweiss76 For me, they appeared roughly around 5:00.
Nah, armor is ass. It looks like something they scrambled 5 days before the launch of the raid.
Bro I love how you all have commitments to your rolls which leads to winning no matter what your communication is top-tier
Simple yet refined good job at finding a team
So all disciples wear a bucket as a signature outfit. Interesting
I really never thought we would get to see nezerc in the flesh let alone actually fight him he’s been in the lore for so long and like every dlc since the game came out had a fake leak saying it was gonna be a nezerc dlc and now we finally get to fight him and dam it’s a good fight
I think his final line is in reference to Sephiroth's "I'll never become a dream"
Oh wow. I guess we know who the tormentors were modeled after
i mean like 3 of the in the story have names : "imprint of nezarec" so it was obv ^^
imo should have been just a bit smaller than rhulk with some robes and nezarecs sin typa looking helmet
@@r_qfq yea I wish that model was used instead
And why they use Void
@@r_qfq his head is actually shaped like the helmet (actually its the opposite lorewise). Its just hard as fuck to see it.
I'm gonna be honest I think after contest is over this guy is gonna be a pushover. He got two-phased by Datto with reasonable effort. I think one phases would be fairly attainable with him
We are getting to the point with perk rolls and exotics where 1 phasing a boss is a preferable outcome rather than a challenge
Yup, and its a little sad to see. Especially with how quick it takes to get to damage phase with Nezzy it seems like a health bump would be a reasonable thing to do
fairly attainable? lmao. you can almost 1 phase him now. this will be a joke on sunday. you will take him to final stand before you run out of rockets
I now want an ornament for Nezarec’s Sin modeled after the boss’s head.
>reads comments
>gets reminded that people actually play this as a game, rather than just reading/listening to lore and watching the story and main gameplay on yt
I'm curious to see how this plays out. So is Xivu going to be the next story boss we beat in the next expansion? Then we get a Witness raid?
General trend for expansions is the most significant character is killed in the campaign, where everyone can experience it, while the raids are sort of side plots that don't have as large an affect so people who don't have a team to raid don't miss out. For example, we ended calus's reign on neomuna in the main campaign but nezarec would've just rotted in the pyramid had we done nothing. By this logic its likely that the witness would be the final shape campaign boss while xivu or something else would be for the raid
@@wyldcat9396 alternatively it's like oryx where it's the campaign boss and the raid boss
Would we even get a witness raid? Unfortunately only a small portion of the player base do raids so I doubt it
@@pandosham
Thats was also years ago. I think he was talking about the recent pattern that bungie is following
I think reversed. Bungie said they don't want campaign bosses to be in the raid anymore because it locks some players out of "finishing" the story, so Final Shape would probably see us defeat The Witness in the campaign, and in the raid we'd fight a different enemy, possibly Xivu
Imagine beating the literal god of pain and RNGesus gives you a towel/cloak/armband that does nothing except hold mods
Maybe the real treasure was the drip all along
I thought tormentos were just some cabal twitched by the Witness powers, but seeing Nezarec ties it together
grats on your clear Esoterick
2:45 Imagine one day you’re going through a patrol zone for random odds and ends, but Bungie decides to be cheeky and you see THIS dunking on unsuspecting randoms as you make your way over to Xur?
Them being right on him for damage is crazy because I've seen my teammates get killed by him in one shot with max resil and 3 void resist
Fucking same. I don't understand it
So its only shoot those orbs , go back ,next orb to activate damage phase ?
That’s the mechanic of the whole raid. It gets kinda boring very quickly.
Yeah it’s probably the most easiest raid ever as well.
You don’t even need to communicate with your fire team much, I honestly think you can solo a good 50% of this raid. At least new lights and people who don’t raid much will have end game stuff to farm for.
Let’s hope these weapons are good
Literal public event raid. Thank you, bungie.
We just cleared earlier today and I was rocking tractor Canon too I swear our damage phase are so much consistent too lol
I dunno if it's stupid to have wanted something more cool for a boss design? The art I've seen of Nezarec before his appearance in the game reminded me of Void from Berserk, with this giant cloak that covered his entire body.
I get he was the one creating Tormentors, but something to fully distinguish him from the other Tormentors besides some tentacles would've been cool in my opinion
Gotta be one the most beautiful raids we've gotten. Mechanics could be harder though
You already finished it?
@@pooPbutwhole nope, didn't have a team. I was watching streams though and the mechanics are really simple. One is shooting nodes of dark or light to link them and the other is aligning planets
Not all raids need to be absurdly hard. Hard mechanics can stay in other raids.
@@obscurit_y4536 then at least have more than 2 mechanics if they are going to be easy
@@Rabavilas There's 2 mechanics in the first encounter 2 in the second (I'm mixing both the shield and launcher mechanics together since both feel more like half mechanics) 2 in the third and 4 in the final.
I can see why winterbite was disabled that thing woupd have demolished this dude
Finally a raid boss that feels like a fight and not just a mechanic to start a dps phase while they stand there like a melon
We had that with Rhulk, too
@@khora3845 yeah but it still had a dumb mechanic to actually go up to him and he still stood still like a melon in-between attacks
this mechanic is ass lmao literally just connect the dots spire of the watcher 2.0
All of lightfalls budget went into this raid change my mind 🗿
This raid looks fun asf action packed is what makes it fun
Reminds me of wrath of the machine. Not very long but damn it was fun.
@@IamthNight hell yeah just like it
while some say this raid is a "let down" or "very short and easy" it honestly looks super fun like the first time i saw DSC. can't wait to try it on the 12th when contest is gone because i just returned to destiny since shadowkeep and in my scrub phase now lol.
Honestly fun is what I look for in a raid over difficulty. One of my all time favorites is scourge of the past despite it being easy, I just thought it was really fun to do. I don’t think this will dethrone vow for me but I think me and my friends are gonna enjoy it.
@@aarongregory4980 ah man you brought back good memories it feels like yesterday when i told my friends "quick bungie made scourge farmable lets all get that exotic" just before Beyond Light haven't played since then is DSC a good raid to start for someone who just returned to raiding? vow seems a bit much.
I feel like raids should be balanced be challenging and engaging not not like a strike but if it's to hard like last wish or garden ppl complain about doing it and play it less and often cheese the mechanics instead of learning them and If you want a challenge good for you there's a hard mode that requires strategy and skill to complete with better rewards.
there's this preconception that every raid should be long and difficult or it's "disappointing" sometimes a breezier raid is more enjoyable. not everything has to be a slog. and it doesnt make you a crap raider if you enjoy the shorter raids.
@@amhz007 Dsc would be a fine raid to get back into the swing of things. Vow is a bit overwhelming for learners mainly because of the amount of symbol callouts to learn but honestly just vibing out the symbol names and rolling with it is the more fun way to do that raid.
Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful raid, its definitely not better than VOW but itll be remembered as a chill raid imo
Me, who doesn't even know what the feck any of these balls are: "Interesting."
Four and a half hours is extremely short for a day one. Wish I could participate.
Wasn't the world first 2,5 hours tho?
Missed opportunity - Should have been a solo Warlock, void class, nezarecs helm, literally spamming abilities and devour whilst making everyone volatile. Would have been unforgettable.
What would you have named that helm
@@iamergoproxy3476 nezarecs sin?
2nd best raid va after my man’s rhulk
this is SOO badass. I could give Bungie a load of shit for game design, but this is definitely a dope raid and final boss
Game design is fine...u mean narrative I think lol
this is the most epic destiny 2 boss ever
Probably not the right place, but is anyone else noticing little Darkness cruxes in Liming Harbor and in the Radiosonde, or elsewhere? Never seen them before, they say you need Lightfall to interact with them. I'm going to exit and enter the game again to see what is up with that, but I suspect it is something post-raid-related.
Those cruxes might be the ones you have to shoot to get one of the secret action figures to spawn
Where exactly are they. Im looking so I can help if possible but so far nothing
Bit late, but they're Apogee Repeaters. Collect them on a class that hasn't unlocked all Strand stuff yet to get 25 Strand Meditations per collection. They also give 100 Neomuna Reputation,
I’m fr watching a raid video just to look at his scythe just so I can draw it
Big facts on using the tractor cannon to debuff him
So nazarec is a tormentor but bigger?
with tentacles.
Technically, the Tormentors are smaller Nezarecs.
@@ech0975 Not really. And even the excuse that the "Imprints of Nezarac" reveal were spoilers to his appearance isn't the issue. The issue is that Bungie reused Rhulk's assets to make another Raid Boss with a similar fighting style. It's lazy development.
@@aztumtheknightofwumbo7060 what do you mean "similar fighting style?" I see none of Rhulk's moves in Nezarec's moveset
@@Levigumba I guess I should've rephrased that. They reused assets for a major villain's design, to which the enemy he was based on used modified versions of another villain's asets.
Man I was hoping nezarec would be saved for final shape
Why lol it should be xivu, we still need to finish up her story
Bro I think he still lives he’s died before savethun and came back
@@Gee-bg2rv xiuv is most likely gonna be either a campaign boss or a raid boss next expansion
We have to kill the witness I’d imagine
@@0Rosanna exactly, we need a campaign boss and a raid boss for final shape. The witness will most likely not be both, so xivu will be fleshed out throughout the upcoming seasons and final shape campaign alongside the witness, with one being the campaign boss and the other being the raid boss and putting a close to the light vs dark saga
Hello, Humans
Always lead yourself to something better. No matter how good things are, they can always, always get better.
TERRANCE OUT
I can't get in the dps turn after turn 2.3 because I don't have enough time. Any tips on how to do this?
And SaltAgreppo wants Well nerfed. Well was only reason he didn't pancake everyone during that dps phase.
He’s just mad he looks like that genetically and is probably a Jewish goblin
Salt is so fucking annoying.....
Well needs a massive nerf. It's ridiculous.
@@Sfcfan120 No it doesn't. Then what would we do to dps phase without getting killed genious?
@@Dimebag0069 Idk... Play the game?
How do you solo the orbs in time without using the wipe shield. I feel like im even getting the orbs done faster yet he still gets his wipe mechanic off. Does pacing out the shoulder breaks give you more time or something because idk what im doing wrong but it somehow seems im not fast enough.
I thought it would be more plants and vine creatures 😔 like biolante from godzilla
I said to my mate a joke “what if the final boss isn’t nezerac and it’s just a big tormentor”………. Wow bungie
*eats popcorn*
Technically, you’re both right.
u do realize tormentors are... copies of nezerac? nezerac been in the game for a long time
@notsaying Still doesn't excuse the timing. Lazy design principle. Heck when Rhulk came out first and I saw the Tormentors second, I said to myself "Those Tormentors are basically mini Rhulks." I wasn't wrong either. Nezarac's design is nothing special compared to what we've already seen. He just looks like a more brutish, less elegant Rhulk in a raid that doesn't even fit with his original vision of being the creator of the Nightmares. As far as I'm aware, this is just a thrown together, lazily written Raid Boss. An overglorified Tormentor, in an area completely different than what one should expect from the "Final God of Pain."
It's just as disappointing as the rest of this expansion.
@@aztumtheknightofwumbo7060 true
@@aztumtheknightofwumbo7060 what in the actual hell would ever make people like you happy? Anything? Your weird fanfics of savathussy being a raid boss?
not a hard raid to figure out this time around.
which i will happily take over remembering symbols and ball busting damage
@@tufbubblz I'm still hesitant to try VoW even though it looks really cool in all other aspects, because remembering 20+ different symbols and names is just not fun to me; would rather watch paint dry.

How did we get from man shut the fuck up. All you people do is bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and
@@oldsaddad7274 😂😂😂
ikr lmao
we find ourselves on 2nd round not being able to do the orb stuff because he wipes to quick not sure what to do.
So who finished the raid first
What does shooting the seeds do? He seems to be shooting seed thats not fully plump & then a fully plump one in no particular order
A 3 nearly 2 phase with xenophage is also possible.
is there some pattern to how you were shooting those seeds at the beginning?
1,2,1,3,1,4,2,5,3,6,4,7
If you aint move that much, why not 1-2 punch shotty with tractor. Or a frenzy primary.
Meanwhile I got as carry my fireteam through orbs and everyone’s dying to adds or regular tormentors
The entire raid was leaked like 4 days before
The leaks were all false
….ok?
@@turtle5542 so the mechanics were out there.. might been a factor for the quick clear
The mechanics were not leaked only the objectives and evsn those were only half right.
The objectives for the encounters were leaked. They are leaked literally every single year. It happened for vow, dsc, garden etc etc. Not sure why so many keep saying this.
I must admit, I really dislike his design. Rhulk had a terrifying sleek design, but Nezzy’s got a gut😂
Skipped leg day
Love your runs. This one is going to be hard to solo with it being a mechanic driven dungeon 🤣
how does the stun or extending wipe mechanic work exactly
I just realized. The relics of Nezarec were turned into a tea for Osiris. Which means...
The Nezarec we fight in the Raid was Osiris's feces. Talk about hygiene.
Did you guys even need to worry about wipe mechanic, how did you avoid it?
so the mechanic is shoot the nuts over and over again?
the only cool thing is the armor it seems.
Why does this look like it’s not contest
yeah, really feels like its not.
@@minimhlk7254 and the worst part is once contest mode is over nezarec is gonna die pretty quickly maybe even faster then templar. Raid looks beautiful the design is amazing but is by far easiest mechanic wise which is quite disappointing but at least it's not like vow with symbols
Best raid lair yet
Same length as Vow, DSC, Garden, wrath of the machine, longer than crown of sorrow, scourge of the past
best dungeon ever, they needed to add planets encounter from the final shape raid to make this a full length one lmao.
Fuck. I accidentally scrolled down to read some comments and now I have cancer. God damn it.
great so the new boss and the reveal of a character that’s been in the lore for a while is just a big reskin of another enemy lol
Exactly. It shows how rushed together this raid was. Tormentors and Nezarac are basically off-brand Rhulks.
My favorite raid boss, forget rhulk, Nezarec is a badass!!!
I thought he was a guardian, not a giant tormentor
Nezarec was never a guardian.
@@dereklednicky8590 IDK why I thought he was.
For a raid final boss, this encounter is pretty simple
@@eldensquall6158 No he is right. He dosn't have to do it to say the mechanics are easy because they obviously are easy. It requires a lot of dps yes, but only for day one difficulty.
So is rhulk but nobody complained there
@@sydious_s_snake rhulk had way more health and a much better build up to his damage phase, nezarec is cool af but a total disappointment in the terms of him being a raid boss

Wasn’t able to tune in today. What is the consensus on this raid? Good? Bad?
Easy
I try to avoid Raid spoilers but i fully expected Nezarec to be the raid boss I'm not surprised
Anyone know if they just using falling guillotine for damage?
they shall know pain.
I just want the raid jacket 😭😭
Facts, I've only ever done one raid but the jacket make me want to
What were your hunters running?

they should have make nezarec look more similar to a psion, not like a bigger tormentor xd
It’s actually the other way around if you understand the lore.
@@epjpeg yeah i know, but at least dont reuse the tormentor skin xd, i feel like like even the disciple is more epic as a boss. We have been listening about nezarec for so much time and i though that they were gonna make him scarier, or bigger, to show the power he has, just a big tormentor was underwhelming
fym reuse it? the tormentors look like HIM. HE is the og, not the other way around
@taken852 For one he's not an exact copy of a Tormenter (even ignoring that they're modeled after him). Secondly his fight was extremely similar to Rhulk
@@taken852 “just a big tormentor was underwhelming” bro that’s what he is, he’s the ORIGINAL tormentor and all other tormentors come from his image
