- Destiny 1 Destiny 2 Solo Nightfall is always a fun challenge. Destiny 2 and Destiny 1 Nightfalls are different in how they approach difficulty. This Destiny 1 Phogoth Nightfall was a lot of fun. Destiny 2 Phogoth isn't a Strike Boss unfortunately. Phogoth is instead a Nightmare in Destiny 2. Enjoy this Solo Nightfall from Destiny 1 in 2023 on my Destiny 1 Hunter.

Destiny 2 Nightfall Solo Nightfall Destiny 1 Gameplay 2023
Destiny 1 armors and iconography was really good hunter cloaks were especially incredible looking.
Hunter cloaks have had a running theme of being awful in d2
@@dmajorray6154 yep
Nothing can beat the vibe of D1, it felt dark, hopeless and full of dread and the soundtrack wrapped it all up perfectly. D2 feels like the made for TV version
The vibe in Destiny 1 is definitely better than D2. But my god, that's literally all it has going for it. I recently went from Destiny 2 to Destiny 1 to see how it holds up and wow. You can see the insane amounts of QoL improvements they made in D2. It's astronomical.
@@oxsila after so many years of it being garbage
@@y_strikes2770 literally one year of D2 vanilla before Forsaken, probably the single best expansion in Destiny history (and yes I was there for TTK, sorry dreadnaught was a slum compared to dreaming city)
@@y_strikes2770 u act like D1 didn’t have even worse content droughts 😂
@@y_strikes2770li
No d2 player could ever comprehend how rare it was to get exotics drop in d1. The fact that they had to give us coins that buff the drop rate is just hilarious in hindsight.
Almost like they were actually exotic. You would get so excited about getting one in D1, whereas in D2 it's just another drop that holds only slightly more value than a legendary.
@@rustler08 exactly. Sometimes i am even pissed cs they fill the postmaster
I hate that I’m more excited when heavy ammo drops
In D1 if u get one exotic it means party tonight 🎉 and try hard to get one.then u taste it like chocolate and u can customize it as u please u.D2 exotics like when u get something new after a time u throw it in garbage.
And stuff wasn’t taken away from the base game random loot pool to put behind a paywall like where 90% of cosmetics are now, it’s so sad that the whole looter shooter concept is completely ruined
First nightfall i ever solo'd was Undying Mind. Used the icebreaker for the final boss hiding in the lil corner, self-res warlock came in clutch. Man I miss that super so much
Icebreaker was my first exotic and I loved it. The strike on Venus where you have to enter the Ketch and take out the Fallen boss I stayed high hugged in the hills taking out the adds slowly but surely with Icebreaker. Was lucky one week to have enough strange coins and Xur was selling it. I was unsure if I wanted to buy a sniper or wait for so many others I wanted (Suros, Red Death etc etc) but so glad I grabbed Icebreaker it was so good and useful when solo. As I was a Day 1 D1 I owe it to the game to jump back in to D2 for final shape, I jumped in about 6 months ago for first time after quitting it 3 months into launch and didn’t have a clue what they’d done to the menus and mechanics until I watched a few YT guides but all it made me do was wanna play D1 on my Hunter, I still intend to properly level up my Titan and warlock but the game feels so good it’s great to see so many players. Just a shame Crucible is hit and miss unless it’s a weekly activity it’s hard to find players, although when the weekly is mayhem rumble there is usually plenty of players it’s great fun, I’ve got a cracking roll of year 1 heavy machine BTRD-345 grabbing that heavy ammo it’s really stable and melts players, only heavy that really challenges me is players rocking the quintum terminus which I think was either a nightfall or raid weapon. When playing PVE and tough fights I rock celestial nighthawk helmet for Hunter so 6times power golden gun to chunk off boss health then Super Good Advice for non stop no reload blasting then switch to super stability roll 40+ in the mag Continental auto rifle. Good times! I bought Witch Queen and another D2 dlc but hoping they sell everything bundled for Final Shape and I’ll go back to D2. But I just love D1 was addicted from day 1.
What a time capsule this gem is. Thank you my guy.
No problem!
The music is so soothing, it also makes you feel mystery and wonder. It was and is a wonderful game
I got instinctually hyped just seeing the exotic engrams in the thumbnail
I miss small arms and specialist so much (or any beneficial modifier for that matter), it made solo NF in D1 way more fun and exciting depending on which burn type, in D2 its almost always the same stuff over and over
And or does nothing like this week lightning crystals which seems to almost reduce your cool downs this is the 4th week it hasn't worked the first run through
It also gave players a reason to use snipers, shotguns, and fusions.
@@adjcsee4476 Literally the only kind of special I've ever used is fusion rifles (and line fusion rifles). They're so much cooler and actually feel good to use, shotguns feel weak and I can't use snipers.
Dude...in d1, my whole (game) world revolved around elemental primaries. They were the reason I got hooked on the game and I really had less fun in the middle Era of the game when there were no ele primaries. When they came back in age of triumph, I have never been more stoked in gaming
I remember sitting in the entry doorway before they had a shrieker spawn and just sit there with ice breaker.
I went back to D1 before WQ for 2 weeks. I just couldn't. There is so much bad in this game that was fixed in D2. It's archaic, really. A relic of the past.
Granted, it's my fave relic of the past and has some of my fave all time gaming memories and I've been gaming since the late 80s with a Commodore64. But man, D2 is leagues ahead in countless areas.
Finally, someone who isn’t blinded by nostalgia. We all love D1 because it’s the original destiny we grew up with and played, but it’s not anywhere near as great as D2 is in its current state, despite the flaws the game currently has
@@Gee-bg2rv sipping that copium?
@@sauceboss9443 you are I’m guessing . D1 is not as good as D2 and that’s not debatable
@@Gee-bg2rv
I personally prefer D1 just because
1) the once harder parts of the game such as nighfalls and dungeons feel so much easier.
2) The idea that you actually can level up your gun as you play and everything is more set rather than having to do a constant grind for the same gun to get your preferred roles fells really nice
3) not really because of the game but that was where I met most of my PS4 friends. (This reason is totally not blinded by nostalgia at all XD)
I'm honestly really sad that the game died. I still play the first game more than the second one just because the second one was kind of messed up after they decided not to make a third game for the other DLCs after Forsaken and it feels like they watered down a lot of the original activities that they brought back. The second game did have my favorite storyline, which was the Red War, which they VAULTED and I got kind of salty about that. Just my opinion tho
Year 1 destiny was the best...my first exotic in d1 was HARDLIGHT the original HARDLIGHT my favorite auto rifle😔
I do this every so often when I’m bored. I’m glad I’m not the only one. D1 nightfalls were so much more fun and do-able for the casual solo experience.
You sir are a legend. Thanks for keeping D1 alive! It's the only game I've never deleted off my system. I still like to hop on every once in awhile and replay some strikes/missions
And you are a legend for keeping it, ps it's still alive and kicking in 2023 me and my buddy play it daily on the PS3
I see we were both on a D1 kick this weekend! I finally got myself a capture card and have been recording some D1 footage for some projects.
Very cool dude! Can’t wait to see them!
God that Armor set and the og d1 music is just such a good feeling
thank you for this. nostalgia made me very happy. Phogoth was my most dreaded boss in the game. thanks for makin it look easy
I never played D1 but I installed it a few days back I’m definitely about to give it spin. I’m in love with destiny 2 even though I started at the tail end of beyond light. Both games are so beautiful.
You would've loved D2 year 1 it was just like D1. Beyond light smashed everything Destiny stands for.
@@henrikmonkee actually warmind and curse of osiris did. But I’ll never forgive bungie for ruining the game by removing year one content and not even leaving it optional
Please do more of this content! D1 is my favorite game and I unfortunately can't play it anymore as I only have pc now
I miss the old medals and the Strike bounties, made me actually enjoy the strike playlists. In D2 I dont even bother with the strike pinnacle
triple tap firefly hung jury... nostalgia right there
Instant like. This was really fun to watch and I'd love to see you do more of these.
Thanks! Will do!
Bro was holding his super for destiny 3
I still play D1 whenever I get tired of the grinding in D2. Wrath of the machine was cool 😎 to play. Ice Breaker is great sniper rifle. Sometimes I had games weekend. Where people bring tv to my house and I plug up all my gaming consoles. Atari, Nintendo and others. We all play to who can get the best score on different games. It’s a fun 2 days and nights.
I remember shooting the shrieker in the entryway cheese spot to troll the fireteam like it was yesterday lol
I miss how in d1 we had to be reasonably careful. The nightfalls had you of the back foot, but the modifiers didn't feel super unfair.
I just bought the D1 collection on sale for XB1. I had not played the game since release on PS3, and back then only played base game. Looking forward to all the content I missed in like 3-4 years the game was supported.
With small arms and exposure, I go with Red Death for primary. Every kill restores a chunk of shields and when needed I can swap to another primary for distance.
People are always surprised when you have no deaths at the end of an exposure NF. Red Death for the carry.
The old menu music you have playing in the back is so nostalgic
You feel like an ol timer when you remember this strike without the discount jumping puzzle. It took me much longer than others to realize, but D1 really is a better game in many respects.
I do feel like D2's version of the subclasses, mantle, and QoL updates, if added to D1 (60fps, higher FOV, etc) would make D1 almost perfect
Imma be honest I don’t remember the jumping puzzle at all
@@ThePackman627 d2 subclass style would ruin d1, it's pretty much trashed d2
It's a better game in every way
@@Letsanum yeah it's garbage compared go d1 subs
Exactly the kind of content I needed to stumble upon on my home page, loved it! Got a new sub :)
Ahhhh the memories 😢
Dope video man 🔥 🔥
💯
Great vibes from this video! 👏🏼
Thanks bro!
I remember doing this Nightfall, I was hitting like 24k damage on precision hits with the Adept Vision of Confluence
I LOVE how in D1 there were no double primaries. Primary in first slot. Special weapon in second slot and heavy in 3rd. So simple and right to the point. No mod bullshit. No crazy armor mods. No crazy confusing perk pools. Looking back at it, D1 is the meaning of less is more.
I used to solo them all the time in D1!!! and Icebreaker was the goat of solo nightfalls!! And there's a Rock you can stand behind on the left side!!
Pretty refreshing from the crazy complicated synergies and new terms in D2. Would love to see more players come back to this after Final Shape releases.
Man i miss when finding exotic gear was actually exciting and hard to do. though little 7 year old me didnt really understand or know how to do anything (i didnt even know how stats worked until recently when i got back into d2.) and without friends just made it harder. Being decked out in full legnedary gear on my titan for the first time was one of the greatest achievments little me has accomplished. D1 has and always will be one of my favorite games and im so grateful for my stepdad for buying those full retail price DLC's lol
I feel like I remember Red Death still making kills heal you to full health and shield with that modifier on.
It still does
That's why he's the GOAT! THE GOAT!
To this day the Imago Loop NF was my favourite to solo, not only because of the weapon but also because of the final fight, it just was anxiety inducing but so fun to run around the boss room to avoid as much damage as possible o7
The weapon also helped
Loved the way Imago Loop looked, even though it was just a silver version of fatebringer
There was a glitch where if you didn't move from a spot on the final boss he would just sit there and let you fire away until dead lol.
My favorite iteration of this was D1 Y1 launch nightfalls. Something was so much more fun & challenging about it being brutal difficulty and of course wiping sent the team back to orbit.
Yeah those nightfalls were BRUTAL in year 1. Lots of fun tho going for exotics each week
I miss in d2 when we could select our modifiers and they were cool in d1
4:27 There's hole near the front of the room that lets you deal with the boss and adds pretty easily.
During phogoth encounter there was another cheese. When enter the room for left, where the hive traps are, I use to hide behind that rock and just cheese him down. Pretty sure it can still work. I tried again few years ago
I used to love Solar Primary burn. I always keep the exotic Genesis Chain in my inventory. Great solo!
This nightfall back in HoW was my first underleveled solo flawless, it was unintentionally done as well.
If you ran the Nightfall solo back in the day, flawless was the only way to beat it, otherwise, you got booted back to orbit. It was awesome! (exception - self res Warlock - which I was!!)
i miss d1 so much maaaan :(
remember that og d1 strike where the final boss was a big hydra in a round room and you could hide behind that big ass rock and slowly wear the boss down with icebreaker? Good times
i literally couldnt finish watching this out of pure rage of how much better D1 was. The devs actually listened and the content was just more fun. good video nonetheless
the valus ta arc cheese spot under the stairs was iconic
Yeah we forget how tough D1 nightfalls were. Lol, the round the corner on the right or behind the rock on the left. Nostalgia.
Would love to go back and start playing d1 again I could play through the content there for the rest of the games days and be happy the player base is just not there
D1 shriekers are something I don’t miss
Nightfalls in D1 actually are hard and feel like a challenge this game would throw things at u non stop forcing you to have to use your brain to outsmart the mechanics
D1 is still the best of the best
Absolutely
Logically no, but my feelings say yes
It feels the best for some reason, for some stupid reason this game from 2014 has this charm that brings everyone back and Destiny 2 just doesn't get the same feeling
@@ethanhensley9355 explain logically please. Id like to read ur opinion
@@brianharris8246 destiny 2 has improved upon everything from Destiny 1. Only reason ppl think D1 is “better” is because of nostalgia
Playing through this game just now before Lightfall and my god Destiny 2 improved so much. But it's interesting seeing how much Destiny 2 content is just Destiny 1 content brought back. Like 70% of shadowkeep is literally just Destiny 1
Even that ship looks better than 99% of the ships in D2!
Ikr. Those flying submarines are so astronomically ugly. I would rather hang dead over a fence then calling one of these my ship.
I remember swallowing this nightfall by myself for the first time in D 1 and getting ice breaker as my first ever exotic as a reward.
I used to love this strike.
I remember this one. Even just as a regular strike it was a pain in the ass
I am so glad, people are still playing D1.
It took me forever to get my first exotic and also my first legendary sparrow in D1. Now you get soo many exotics and sparrows that you don’t use nearly any of them
I forget how much more visually stunning D1 looks compared to 2
D2 really is a downgrade in the visuals department. Unfortunate...
Oh Phogoth...I remember fighting him in my 30s. Now I'm in my 40s hanging with 10-foot-tall cloud striders. Who da thunk?
I used to solo nf all the time in d1. Mainly bc I was scared of lfg lol. So much fun.
I remember doing the Shield Brothers strike solo because all my friends were sleeping at the time. Playing Warlock, I basically had advantage over every encounter even with the modifiers active. I can't remember all of it, but one thing DOES trigger a memory.
I went completely mental on the first of the shield brothers and destroyed him in about 3 minutes.
And who do I see when his shield brother came back? Mr Dead guy, magically back.
Had to restart the entire strike to do it all over again, BUT. I did it eventually. Telesto was the MVP.
Oh god remember when TTK came out and the first NF was Shield brother, solar burn, grounded. One of THE hardest NF to have ever come out.
omg I miss destiny 1!! I still remember doing a bunch of quests for dead orbit or getting through the first part of the kings raid by myself to only end up spending the whole night just to beat it lol good times with the boys/girls ❤️
The good old times broda
I think red death combats exposure really well if I'm not wrong about how that works
According to other mentions of it and Suros Regime in the comments, I believe you’re right! 🥂
Omnigul with Arc burn. Remember hiding in the little alcove with my teammates. One person on the barrel in the corner for revives….peek, damage, die, get revived ad infinity until she finally dies. 😂
Man the feeling I get from watching this…
This is the nightfall strike this week! Tried solo and failed spectacularly
Ah the good old days, seeing exposure as modifier narrowed my choice of primaries to red death or suros regime
I still play D1 to this day. It just hits better for me.
Destiny 1 has been my favorite game since the first look alpha
Great video as always 🤯 !!!
Appreciate it!!
spots like that are as much a part of the nightfall experience as anything. remember hiding under the stairs during the valus strike?
I sure do haha. Great spot
I completely restarted my Destiny account recently and have been having a blast. I wish I had people to raid with though
Didn't play this, tried d2 recently, had no idea what was going on, who any of the NPCs were or even why I existed, I purchased the d1 collection to test my mettel.
My mettel has been wrecked.
I don't own a console but i wish in the future i will buy one and start a new character bcuz d1 has a special memories and i love it.
There's quite a promising project that is trying to emulate D1 on PC (though only the PS3 version, so no Rise of Iron)
Good content, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed.
I miss strike specific loot. I remember grinding this strike to get a good roll on those gauntlets
man I actually miss small arm modifier alot eh. I wish I could go back and play D1 but honestly the FPS and FOV make me want to literally chunder, sadly.
I used to love doing solo nf with sky burners helmet, boltcaster, the KF chest that had that great grenade kills perk, spike nades, teather, clever dragon and special weapon dependant on the stirke...usually LDR or Salidin vigil.
The elemental kill buffs speed boots are something I really miss from D1 also
With those modifiers I would have rocked Vex Myto for sure
I use to have dragons breath for this specific encounter. It clears the adds and does a decent damage to the over itself.
Oger...
Remember when you had to do this as part of the thorn bounty?
I tried this as well a couple months ago. But got hit with a serious reality check as soon as I entered the bossroom of that one Siva strike with the blind ogre
that strike solo is seriously tough. the shanks that rain down from the ceiling make it especially difficult.
Do more of this content
Im so glad they got rid of the shrieker death blasts in d2
Nice little trip down memory lane.
Thanks for giving me a new primary to grind when I can :)
I really need to reinstall destiny 1! The nostalgia is unreal!
Guns look strong, I miss that. I feel like we can thank the PC version of D2 for that. Where crits are free.
What the fuck are you talking about it's much easier to hit crits on console thanks to the insane bullet magnetism on controller.
@@BlackWingGenesis Lol why do clowns still think there isn't bullet magnetism on M&K?
@@bannedmann4469 mouse and keyboard has considerably less bullet magnetism. Since I am not underaged like you I can simply plug a controller in my PC and see the massive difference.
@@BlackWingGenesis Lol you're mad. Keep moving that goal post. Keep seething.
Flinch isn't free
HEAVY SYNTH BABY!!!
I absolutely love this game, I wish D2 never happened and that we could continue this great adventure 😟
destiny 2 is so much better though what lol
@@boejiden4731 but is it really?
@@prismaone3164 Yes.. yes it is on EVERY aspect.
@@boejiden4731 Let me completely disagree with you😜
Damn I don’t remember the “discount jumping puzzle” at all in this strike
It was added in rise of Iron. Prior to that you just needed to clear a hallway of yellow bar knights instead
Ah yes, reminds me of that cabal strike where the cheese spot was to hide underneath a stairway and peak the boss. If ykyk
Yep. Valus. Good times under those stairs in that strike lol
"heavy synth" lllooollll , those were the days.
Jumpvup on the I beam was my fav cheese
The exotic version of Smite of Merain is also Solar burn
Still prefer this method of nightfall. Hard as hell and no wipes. I remember soloing Omnigul on void burn and getting a G horn for my efforts. Good times.
Well it's not like you had the choice of doing with anyone else anyways lol, I made a new character and it forces you into a basic strike and I never got anyone to join in over an hour...
You have to get on top of the rock on the far left as soon as you answer the room you can crabs can avoid Boomer night
Solar small arms in tight places. Definitely use the exotic wrath auto rifle with dragonfly
