My favorite part of this raid is when you come across a random cabal minding his own business, trying to figure out the Witness's big planet room and Nezarec goes "yo I hate this loser. He sucks so much. Would you just kill him? Ya know, since you're already there, you might as well."
I love how half the video was Nezarec. Very much like how Nezarec was about 75% of my total time on the Day 1 clear. I found out after that glaives for grabbing Hatred was broken due to the glaive dmg resistance. Would have saved me a lot of trouble.
How are you only at 60k? This is honestly my favourite destiny channel. Also I can relate to having a four hour rest in the middle of Nezarec, that guy drove all my lfg teams insane.
Lance is voicing hellboy in the new hellboy game so we can hear him one last time. Also the new seasonal mission ends with Zavala mourning over someone’s body and god damn the timing couldn’t be worse.
Also I liked this Raid's difficulty! We actually had people in my clan ask to try out different roles and learn more than others. Usually, they learn one role and go with that but as it was so approachable they felt more confident. P.S: I will always hate Spire of Stars with the daisy chain and final stand ball bullshit 🤣
I think this raid is about even overall compared to Vow for me, buuuut I think Rhulk just beats out Nezarec for final boss, still a great time running it though, and a fantastic video as always!
Love to see how fast your channel is growing! Your content is genuinely some of the most unique and creative D2 content I’ve ever seen especially over the past year and it is always filled with positive and funny vibes but the production value is noticeably improving too. You’ve got the formula down keep killin it!!
Sick vid, this was my first look at the new raid and Its amazing that you managed to beat it day one! Thanks for putting my art in the vid again, I'm looking forward to making even more in the future :D Also Rest in Peace LR, No one will be able to match your talented voice acting for zavala, and you will live on in our hearts

My contest clear took a total of 22 hours. 8 of that were spent at planets and another 9 at Nezarec. I quite literally SCREAMED with pure joy and exhaustion when Nezzy finally ate it. Congrats on your contest clear, Toad! Also, rest in peace, Lance. You will be missed by so many...
I will always like root of nightmares, because just before light fall I and others left the clan that I was with. I had to rebuild my day one team and start a new clan. Thankfully, some of the people were on the team already came back, but I still had to fill with lfg we where in for 11h and got the clear it was my first compiled contest raid after trying since leviathan dayone. I’m extremely proud of my team and it’s something I’ll never forget. Keep up the great videos! Rest in peace Lance
As a person with 28 root of nightmares clears at the time of watching this, as well as having the title. I had great fun watching this, it was great seeing people working it out because you cant look it up on day 1. Good video man
Me and my friends got a week 1 clear of this raid (4 days after release) I love the look of this raid and the incredible amount of communication that is going on during all the fights Everyone has something to call out or track. congrats on the day 1 man love from Sweden
I kinda want to see you guys do a raid where the only things you can say are something related to your names. what i mean by this is that Lochi can only try to make axolotl noises, Duck can only quack, you have to use toad voice (from mario) or make toad animal noises. stuff like that, I feel like it would just be chaos incarnate as you would have a variety of communication, from some people being able to speak entire sentences to others only being able to make certain sounds. another idea is a raid where you can only say Jotuun, like vault of telesto and breads fall.
Great video. Glad to see you guys ended up getting it done. I left the stream around midnight so I didn't get to see the end. For Macrocosm and Nezarec my team's major problem was the number of adds. So we put an Orpheus Rig Hunter and an Osmiomancy Gloves Warlock on add control and it made the fights much easier.
I was tuning in occasionally live, for this being the second day one you've attempted your teams mechanics discovery was actually really good (even if these mechanics were a little simpler than prior raids). Good attempt on trying to get a completion before the 24 hour mark
Poor Don... I think all my warlock main brothers and sisters can relate to being made to swap to solar when we belong on void. But congrats on the clear.
I remember getting our day one clear and scrolling through UA-cam before falling asleep and seeming you stream with you guys on Nez and just me hoping you’d get the clear as I passed out
My team, Cult of the Aeon, took 13 hours to clear Root of Nightmares, 11 of which were at Nezarec. It's a beautiful and good raid but I'd like to see the Final shape raid be longer as well. RIP Lance Reddick. We'll see you starside
Rip lance, I love your stuff and was happy to see this vid, sadly I couldn't complete day 1 as I was extremely underlight but it was fun trying, keep up the good work!
RIP Lance Reddick. As a fellow Titan, it hurts me the most. None the less, I wasn’t alone in this manner. Keep up the good fight, Toad. Love the videos. Also, lemme know when the clan’s asking for recruits😉.
That boss idea is actually really cool, before you start damage after whatever mechanics are in place are complete, someone should get a buff to shoot the wings off and crash it into the area. That’d actually be amazing
Congrats on the contest clear! I ended up getting it on the 27th hour of it existing thanks to a friend who pulled me into a group that was doing well. Unfortunately we had to split from our initial team after the first day due to a couple of them being ill-prepared, but hopefully I can get a clear together with them next year (certainly not during Wrath of the Machine because I don't think I want to do a Day 1 raid twice in one sitting).
It takes strong combat proficiency to be able to clear the challenge modes for reprised raids since the mechanics are generally simpler than new original raids
Planets was the most painful thing to do, it took so much of my time. Once the team I was with got to Nezarec, we failed to beat him, constantly having to wipe everytime before starting our final damage phase due to so many people dying before then. Sad times And shall our Commander rest. R.I.P Lance.
As one pro to another I respect the weapon choices although I find them very peculiar I mean personally I would run Khvostov 7G-02 due to its immaculate dps and ad clearing.
My team had to do Nezerac twice. On the last stand one of us got booted and the rest of us completed it with the burn of 2 fusion grenades, and a witherhoard. We weren’t going to let that slide so we picked him up in orbit, went back in, and made Nezzy pay. The guy that got booted also got the exotic, but none of us were mad cause the dude deserved it after being cheated.
Something that me and my team did on day 1 was leave the tormentor on low hp until the timer reset. We then would kill it and our timer would increase to 1 minute all the time
25:14 during my day one, I was in this exact situation but instead my thundercrash hit 90k instead of 250k because I hot swapped off for aeons and forgot to switch back for damage phase, that one mistake caused 6 more hours of suffering…
1 more video and you are at 100 I love the vids I’m so happy when they come out because you and your fireteam are funny and chill either way 100 on next video
I’m genuinely sad about his passing cause he was my favorite actor and even played the part
Me to rip Lance
@@nathanielbaumgardner8211 he played all of his roles so well
@diamondreaper8287 Indeed
Yeah me and my boys would always get so hyped when he popped up as the desk accountant in john wick. We loved his character in that
eyes up guardians o7
It truly was a sad weekend, rest in peace Lance, the titans will carry in your footsteps
To paraphrase the philosophy of the titan "Apes together strong"
@@Dredgenvore amen
My favorite part of this raid is when you come across a random cabal minding his own business, trying to figure out the Witness's big planet room and Nezarec goes "yo I hate this loser. He sucks so much. Would you just kill him? Ya know, since you're already there, you might as well."
and then he turns out to be the encounter most people got stuck on lmao
"Tear that useless sack of meat apart" is so brutal and raw hahahah then proceeds to say hes shit at his job
"On his last day the commander was able to rally his troops one last time."
STOP MAKING ME CRY DAMMIT!!!!
I love how half the video was Nezarec. Very much like how Nezarec was about 75% of my total time on the Day 1 clear. I found out after that glaives for grabbing Hatred was broken due to the glaive dmg resistance. Would have saved me a lot of trouble.
proud of yall completing it! :D
rest in peace lance
How are you only at 60k? This is honestly my favourite destiny channel. Also I can relate to having a four hour rest in the middle of Nezarec, that guy drove all my lfg teams insane.
The growth of the vs screen throughout these vids has blown me away. Now Toad is using ANIMATION for the fireteam!
Your videos just keep getting better in quality every time. Love the content
Soup of nightmares when?
the soup of nightmares was nezcafe that osiris drank
The soup is the bowls u collect in the raid for lore
The juxtaposition of the radically growing and colorful roots of the light and the oppressive architecture of the darkness is beautiful
Lance is voicing hellboy in the new hellboy game so we can hear him one last time. Also the new seasonal mission ends with Zavala mourning over someone’s body and god damn the timing couldn’t be worse.
Yeah that was some unfortunate timing on the part of the universe there.
For the record:
I do enjoy that kind of thing. I'd love to see the full process behind how that got put together!
Congrats on the contest mode clear!
I'm glad! Thank you!!
Coming back here after salvations edge and holy shit the difference in difficulty is insane
Cleared this raid this weekend, so can watch this now!
Also I liked this Raid's difficulty! We actually had people in my clan ask to try out different roles and learn more than others.
Usually, they learn one role and go with that but as it was so approachable they felt more confident.
P.S: I will always hate Spire of Stars with the daisy chain and final stand ball bullshit 🤣
I’m gonna miss Lance Reddick but i feel like Keith will do an amazing job continuing his legacy as Zavala.
Rest Easy Commander ❤️❤️
I always LOVE your boss intros, while some would only do like the boss card, you go above and beyond! Nice job!
I'm so glad I was getting into borderlands before I found your channel and your raid videos. I love the borderlands title screens for the raid bosses
i love the use of the USUM Lysandre theme for nezarec
Dude the editing is chefs kiss. Nice Nezarac montage
I think this raid is about even overall compared to Vow for me, buuuut I think Rhulk just beats out Nezarec for final boss, still a great time running it though, and a fantastic video as always!
I would agree, Rhulk goes hard as hell. Thank you!!
tbh, I had no idea you played Destiny lol
Love to see how fast your channel is growing! Your content is genuinely some of the most unique and creative D2 content I’ve ever seen especially over the past year and it is always filled with positive and funny vibes but the production value is noticeably improving too. You’ve got the formula down keep killin it!!
Rest in peace Lance Reddick. A damn fine voice actor you were, from the Rubicon wastes on Mars to the lifeless surface of Neomuna.
I love the animation stuff you do for these vids, talk about going above and beyond. You make great content, keep it up!
toad smoothie is the type of guy who never disappoints us with the most goofiest entertaining videos
Sick vid, this was my first look at the new raid and Its amazing that you managed to beat it day one! Thanks for putting my art in the vid again, I'm looking forward to making even more in the future :D
Also Rest in Peace LR, No one will be able to match your talented voice acting for zavala, and you will live on in our hearts

No, thank you!!

Oh man. The animation for the intro to Nezarec was really good. I could only ever hope to be able to animate my guardian myself one day
I always like the little memes you put at the beginning. Good vid!
Been waiting for this since the livestream
Seeing you guys struggle on nezerac brought some peace cause I lost the day one emblem to that fudger
can i just say? SMB OST is a massive fucking W. I love you.
Your channel is the prime example of “Quality over Quantity”
As a person with 28 root of nightmares clears at the time of watching this, as well as having the title. I had great fun watching this, it was great seeing people working it out because you cant look it up on day 1. Good video man
Don gets what it means to be a devour lock. He is the embodiment of what I am in raids
A raid boss with wings you say????? *The Perfect Raven has entered the chat*
Me and my friends got a week 1 clear of this raid (4 days after release) I love the look of this raid and the incredible amount of communication that is going on during all the fights
Everyone has something to call out or track.
congrats on the day 1 man
love from Sweden

A big GG for the clear friend, good job to you and your team for this accomplishment
Watching on stream was an emotional rollercoaster.
if only i had a fireteam like that, one that could make such treasured memories as this one has
You deserved to beat that. 17 hours would've driven me absolutely insane lol
I remember being here during the raid, watching the stream! I watched the last minute wipe live. As always your videos exceed expectations!
You will be remembered Lance
Awesome video, I feel so special to be there when you did this live, it was a long 17 hours but I watched the whole thing
This passing hit the hardest, may he rest in peace and where the light resides.
Gratz man!! I remember my first day 1 clear in DSC and i know how that first one feels. Hopefully yall get the next one done too in contest!
I was there when you cleared it on stream, it’s awesome that you finally got a day 1 clear, hoping that you get another soon!
Wow this man really used Spinnin by Connor Price at 16:46 I’m surprised but a welcome one
Love that you guys also entirely missed the wipe dodge mechanic, just like my day one team
Dude, i loved the editing, its awesome how your vids keep getting better and better
Congrats on the clear!! This was my first day one and my team got it in around 8hrs and it was some of the most fun I’ve had
This actually makes me wanna try the raid. I don’t really raid, but I think this video has convinced me enough haha
Rest In The Light Lance
The horrible thing is rewatching this video in a year or two and then screaming at your screen that it is so obvious what you have to do😂😂
UA-cam recommendation system blessed me with your channel about a week ago
Poor Don... I think all my warlock main brothers and sisters can relate to being made to swap to solar when we belong on void.
But congrats on the clear.
I remember getting our day one clear and scrolling through UA-cam before falling asleep and seeming you stream with you guys on Nez and just me hoping you’d get the clear as I passed out
I saw that brief snippet, Toad 😏
Ayyyy ROTF!!!
Ayyy contest mode clear! Well Done
To explicate something is to explain it, so his title is Explainer Of Planets
This vid makes me feel good about my teams 10 hour clear. Good job guys
My team, Cult of the Aeon, took 13 hours to clear Root of Nightmares, 11 of which were at Nezarec. It's a beautiful and good raid but I'd like to see the Final shape raid be longer as well.
RIP Lance Reddick. We'll see you starside
Rip lance, I love your stuff and was happy to see this vid, sadly I couldn't complete day 1 as I was extremely underlight but it was fun trying, keep up the good work!
Awesome! All of your content is amazing, and really brightens my day. Thank you!
Thanks man it means a lot!
The final shape raid fucked us all the longest raid ever thx for asking bungie to make it harder
RIP Lance Reddick. As a fellow Titan, it hurts me the most. None the less, I wasn’t alone in this manner. Keep up the good fight, Toad. Love the videos. Also, lemme know when the clan’s asking for recruits😉.
It’s been three days since I’ve found this account and this is my favorite destiny account
That boss idea is actually really cool, before you start damage after whatever mechanics are in place are complete, someone should get a buff to shoot the wings off and crash it into the area. That’d actually be amazing

The Tormentor jumping down towards the chest like he wants the loot is the funniest shit 😂
Planets was the most painful thing to do, it took so much of my time. Once the team I was with got to Nezarec, we failed to beat him, constantly having to wipe everytime before starting our final damage phase due to so many people dying before then. Sad times
And shall our Commander rest. R.I.P Lance.
28:27 have you ever heard of this fellow named oryx the taken king
As one pro to another I respect the weapon choices although I find them very peculiar I mean personally I would run Khvostov 7G-02 due to its immaculate dps and ad clearing.
Video idea Deep Stone Grip where you have to use salvation’s grip the whole time. Sorta like kings bread or vault of telesto.
My team had to do Nezerac twice. On the last stand one of us got booted and the rest of us completed it with the burn of 2 fusion grenades, and a witherhoard.
We weren’t going to let that slide so we picked him up in orbit, went back in, and made Nezzy pay.
The guy that got booted also got the exotic, but none of us were mad cause the dude deserved it after being cheated.
We figured out Cataclysm in, like, 20 minutes…
6 hours later we disbanded. We never beat it.
Funny thing, for day 1 second encounter me being a Warlock runner was the only one who consistently crossed the gap without dying.
man watched you day one and god yall were STRUGGLING!
A popped in the stream a few times and every time, chat was just saying soup and I was worried
Something that me and my team did on day 1 was leave the tormentor on low hp until the timer reset. We then would kill it and our timer would increase to 1 minute all the time
Been watching your videos for a while no but didn’t realize I wasn’t subscribed so I did keep up the good work
25:14 during my day one, I was in this exact situation but instead my thundercrash hit 90k instead of 250k because I hot swapped off for aeons and forgot to switch back for damage phase, that one mistake caused 6 more hours of suffering…
Damn...😬
Your vids make me really want a group of friends to do raids with.
I watched the whole thing live as I was attempting this myself what a proud moment for the Smoothie Community
The edit when you guys first start the Nezarec encounter is absolute perfection. Do you edit your own stuff? Impressive edits no matter what
Thanks! I do, pretty proud of that one ngl...
That team skull music was hittin 😆
He gets it!💀
Congrats on the clear! So wishing I had Lightfall. The raid looks sick af
Im not sure if you know but you can punch the floor being in the circle and it’ll give you the buff instead of just shooting the balls
Riot santa makes a return!
1 more video and you are at 100 I love the vids I’m so happy when they come out because you and your fireteam are funny and chill either way 100 on next video
whoooooo yeah fira! Amazing art
Never would I think that BacicallyIDoWrk would be in a Toadsmoothie video
