Another fun run that actually turned out to be a pretty decent challenge! This will likely be the last "No Guns" run for a little while - just wanted to do this as it seemed like a decent challenge!

Esoterickk ok now you are just showing off and rubbing our noses in it 😀. Keep it up! I can't wait until destiny 2 and seeing you do everything and learning from you all over again. I despise streamers and people who say they will help you go flawless if you subscribe and all that shit. Probably because I'm a lot older than a lot of you guys but I will say you are someone I would donate to or whatever the kids are doing nowadays. Please keep it up! Such a refreshing checking out other videos and then yours- still the only person I subscribe too for gaming and I don't see that changing anytime soon . Thank you sir

[@paulwhite2101]

You truly are the master. I just picked my chin up after it hit the floor and knocked me out. This can still be challenging even at 400 light, or for some of us mere mortals. You are exceptional and without a doubt the greatest PvE player I have seen play this game. Your videos are great to watch and help us out loads, so keep up the great work.

[@krisztiancsaladi3750]

You are my favorite PvE god along Cruelty and ScaRdrow. You impress me... as usual. 0_0 Though you could speak during the vids. And just in case, I added you as a friend (Gamertag: AdvyTechGen) despite I'm stuck on 360. Love your vids

[@balls..-]

Familial Christian it's impossible to be "stuck" at 360 rn

[@drewwilliams1337]

"Decent challenge" Jesus dude, I have yet to find a fireteam that doesn't struggle with that mission. We always complete it, but barely, and with like less than 30s left. You're ridiculous man, kudos.

[@carll2593]

When everyone else is looking for easier ways to do stuff, you look for ways to make it harder. Nice job.

[@paulwhite2101]

I don't see how any one could dislike this video, I have never thought of your videos as showboating, or being big headed. So must be inadequate, or just jealous. I always look forward to your videos and watch them with admiration, it's not often you get to see someone so good make it look so easy. So I watch it once, and then watch it again taking notes and I can honestly say that your videos have helped me numerous times. So how someone can leave a dislike is beyond me. Anyhow, keep up the great work, as you don't know how much these videos help us. So thank you.

[@kristenking669]

Paul White I've always thought the same thing. I love Eso. I successfully soloed the nf today because of him. where before i wouldn't have even tried.

[@karasu9784]

Paul White They're Jealous

[@Esoterickk]

Thank you both for such kind words! Dislikes are inevitable no matter what happens, but for the most part there's generally overwhelming support + kindness (and especially from people like you both here) which more than makes up for it :) It's all good!

[@insertnamehere3422]

For y'all people here in the comments: to get the Black Spindle, you don't need to wait for the Lost to Light to be the heroic mission. You just need to play it on hard. Thank you.

[@MrJunglewhite101]

theres no dailies anyways

[@Lafreshidon]

You can still get lucky with the taken king weekly story missions for a 380 light black spindle run... i think

[@Nukcall]

Just went through all the comments and did not find a single one asking about how to get it.

[@oggabob]

Nukcall I assume they meant for people who were wondering. You don't need to write a comment to want to know something

[@oggabob]

MrJunglewhite101 Yeah there are but you have to manually check every story mission now

[@reacharmament8683]

Zero Shot runs from the Halo community were always a favorite of mine and it's awesome to see you doing them for Destiny! And this mission especially. I don't even like running it *with* guns. Gr8 job once again.

[@bam-skater]

I think I'm passed being 'impressed' with eso and am now into 'slightly worried'. It's just not normal.......

[@TheJmasters514]

That was impressive I remember trying to find three good Guardians to get this thing done. your talent amazes me.

[@JJJ_JapaneseJamJars]

Well, my head hurts!!! You do it with Granades, Melee and Supers, I add Primary, Special and Heavy and I still haven't got it! lol Different league altogether! Fantastic job mate, I've seen all your vids, keep them coming.

[@senzavolto]

Just shared this to my destiny group - 'But I don't have spindle' didn't cut it before this let alone after 😆 Excellent vid as usual!

[@stonehengeman]

This might just be the best Destiny video I've ever seen. Hats off, sir. :)

[@thejew1789]

I'm gonna go do this now, because apparently a sword is a gun. Thanks for the credit and GG on the run!!

[@BellatrixD2]

This is why you're the best! :)

[@marcusbskeen]

Just want to say that these videos are BOMB AF

[@darrenstacey4340]

Hot damn!, that is seriously good work.I've still not got a spindle and nowadays I can't find anyone to want to run this again.

[@BO0O0O0O0O0O01]

We get it already, your skills have surpassed that of the gods XD awesome run man

[@sidback-unltd]

You sir deserve the Brat Hitman Hart Emblem...although I was just watching the vid I felt helpless in many situations..simply the best pve destiny player ever

[@damechanik218]

Damn eso when I requested you make this . I didn't mean for you to rub it in how much I suck . Thank you and awesome job

[@Esoterickk]

Oh that was you on Twitter? :P Sorry wasn't trying to rub it in haha, just seemed like a way fun to step it up! :D

[@damechanik218]

Esoterickk I try ed a bunch of different ways . Always fall about 10 seconds short. I'm DaMechanik on twitch. I asked for this in a comment on one of your solo nightfall couple weeks back. Thanks again for the vid .

[@Esoterickk]

Ah okay, my mistake sorry! I remember that comment back from the Dust Palace Nightfall too :) Just wasn't sure if that was you on Twitter also under a different name. ^^ Have you tried Sunsinger for it? I wrote this comment up on reddit too, might help you out and apply here: "I personally think Sunsinger is the best/safest for doing it solo. Main thing you want is Raze Lighter, use that to focus on clearing any of the shielded enemies. High impact Sniper to clear both the Blights and DPS the boss. Primary won't matter too much, whatever you're most comfortable using. The main thing you want to focus is just killing the Blights ASAP and then clearing the mobs after that. I'd personally use Sunbreakers for the double Solar Grenades, use those for Thrall/Psion clearing and then sword the rest. You can play a little more aggressively with Self-Res too, so makes it a lot more simple. Takes a bit of practice, but so long as you focus on clearing Blights > clearing adds > DPS boss, you shouldn't have too much trouble clearing!" Good luck!

[@mikecolb1708]

Esoterickk

[@deedavis320]

Wow I definitely had my doubts too, another great run 👌🏾

[@ThCapitano]

This is quite impressive I failed twice trying it with guns please keep going on with challenges like this ✌🏻

[@zedo0]

I am convinced now that u are not human. Ungodly gameplay. My word.

[@keetp6190]

Ok, just tell me what the hell you eat for breakfast. At 62 I could really, really use some of that stuff. :) Great job once again. Thanks

[@danthem4n981]

Legends say that he completed this blindfolded

[@c.m.6358]

Esoterickk that was amazing!

[@almostkanye]

Big fan of your videos as always man. Can't wait for you to solo all of destiny 2! Lol

[@Mr_Beebird]

The true challenge is not finishing the mission only with abilities.. it's not killing yourself with scatter grenades all the time! Well done, this makes me (once again) feel like a noob because I couldn't do it solo with guns.

[@Esoterickk]

That was the hardest part of all!

[@Tracks777]

Good! Keep it up!

[@Milano110565]

Amazing run love your content

[@Tracks777]

I look forward to more videos

[@bresko9272]

Ohhh ! GG, really gg 😉👍🏻

[@thesoundguydave6000]

Really awesome man!

[@rabidllama]

Dude... I remember getting frustrated doing soloes of this while trying to get a Vienna Singer (something like 12 runs, thanks a lot RNGsus) and dying AT LEAST twice each run, using whatever OP weapons I wanted. Can't believe Bungie hasn't nerfed you yet.

[@LoadZaFunk]

Hell! That was close... just like 007 cutting the blue wire :-)

[@jronnei81]

Wow! That takes some skill. I've had some trouble running that in fireteam if even one player can't hold their own.

[@slowgravity1235]

This is how you know you're the best player to ever exist.

[@ash4026]

You, sir, are a legend.

[@Rooster2628]

Just when I thought Eso was going soft on us he drops this unbelievable gameplay. Man will D2 be fun!

[@Esoterickk]

Just running out of things to do that I haven't already done haha, but will always try to do the most challenging things there are! :D Looking forward to D2 too!

[@GameArchon215]

Bruh..... this needs to be MOTW.

[@philipalderson7015]

i have made comments before on this guy but i am running out of superlatives you are a genius my freind

[@xavierschmidt6803]

Nicely done I'm happy to see it wasn't sunsinger

[@Lafreshidon]

Stormcaller has the easiest time doing this with it's final perk 'perpetual charge' i think it's called.

[@tipsytortoise8742]

xavier Schmidt It's safe to say warlocks in general have the easiest time doing this, that doesn't mean it's easy though.

[@xavierschmidt6803]

Night stalker with frostee5 is good too

[@oggabob]

xavier Schmidt Sunbreaker simmering flames could work, but that means no super

[@Esoterickk]

I think Sunsinger and maybe Sunbreaker (although somewhat doubtful) would be the only two other classes able to do this too; but I do have a lot more fun playing Voidwalker overall!

[@Alphanubilus1]

Epic as always. :D

[@garywalling4022]

Look forward to whatever your next challenge might be. 🤔

[@Combative]

Keep up the great videos!

[@BlairHerbert1]

That was just insane! Are you even human, mate?

[@Kingdes121]

Do you ever tire of destroying this game? GG

[@Esoterickk]

I enjoy the game too much haha :)

[@cassiespencer6134]

Wow!! Impressive! As are most of your vids. I have basically the same build on my Warlock and it was awesome in this weeks NF. We beat it in like 7 mins. So I might have to try this solo. Might take me more than15 tries though. Ya know, like never! LOL

[@adamdreyer9292]

THIS IS AMAZING

[@AS-ee8ib]

Is it a Master? Is it a god?! No! It's Esoterick. xDDD

[@oggabob]

So yes to the first two question?

[@Atown8314]

Epically awesome!

[@geenhousegoon4204]

Were there moments you caught yourself going for the trigger? It's like a reflex too shoot when taking damage.

[@Esoterickk]

There were a few moments I had to restrain myself over the attempts haha, it's hard to break the habit!

[@Richieman2032]

Yes, you are still, "The Man"!!

[@stealth6308]

You are still way better than me with abilities only. I couldn't even solo it with guns.

[@huntermasterrace1038]

absolute madman

[@johnt965]

If you didn't do this on voidwalker what would be your next subclass to use

[@baterkat]

Nice job,good video!

[@dogbiskits]

You're the best PVE player of all time

[@ryandavis8658]

In the words of Darth Vader, Impressive!

[@jamestravis1292]

Was this on this weeks story playlist with rainbow and brawler?

[@malicious81]

Nope

[@Esoterickk]

It was just from the heroic mission selection, no extra modifiers at all :)

[@223ndog]

That is crazy way to go

[@justinmcwilliams6759]

it's funny,I mained Voidwalker from beta until Sunbreaker became available....and never thought to try it for this.

[@OGbigdaddom]

That was so close!

[@vketchup1316]

Bungie should start making you solo their raids so that they know it's not possible without 4+ people.

[@thomasmcnally97]

gg dude great stuff

[@stevewilder9733]

silly question but are u on twitch?? would love to watch this live

[@damechanik218]

Steve Wilder yeah he is on twitch but he isn't live much.

[@Esoterickk]

I'm on Twitch every so often at twitch.tv/esoterickk1 - don't have a particular schedule at the moment but trying to make it more common :)

[@stevewilder9733]

Esoterickk following :)

[@royrobson2694]

*You have got to be shitting me. Wow! One idea I had was maybe equipping the Obsidian Mind for more Supers?*

[@kriskluge2826]

Incredible!

[@timenoni9943]

When a team of 3 get to the taken boss at 8 minutes and can't finish it but you make it there in 6 minutes and finish with a crispy 7 seconds 😂😂

[@ramsayz123]

nice one well done!!

[@kaisersoze1832]

Nice,tu es un very good gamer 👍

[@kaisersoze1832]

I am French, I love your way of playing, the black night is hardly come out that you have done solo.j t try to do like you, but a little hard times, you will ever die.you are a very Good player, it s sincere

[@midwestmonstar]

Woooooow Supa Dope Bro

[@robertoross3061]

Well done!!!!!

[@350zsage]

I cant find him hes not there in my game confused?

[@iRony-CH]

nice job. how many attempts you needed? big like! your a god player

[@Esoterickk]

It was around 15 or so attempts :) Thank you!

[@blackfishgaming7145]

hero status

[@jacktherhymer]

You're legend!

[@Joseph22805]

this is awesome

[@v.4.vanquishl177]

ESO, you made the takens hate the Solo No Guns idea loool

[@Esoterickk]

I had to get revenge on the Taken after how annoying they've been the last 2 years! :p

[@way469]

Speechless....

[@Marcheziora]

A Gjallarhorn for grenades and a Shotgun for melee, how is that fair?

[@RhinoMonsterGC]

Awesome job... :)

[@shadyheisenberg5666]

THE JEW HIMSELF AND MATHOMP RIGHT NOW LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@thejew1789]

Shady Heisenberg lol you are funny you should go to other peoples videos and give them a good laugh. I'm dead serious.

[@TheUnknownFool]

You way too good!

[@fudgewon625]

i have all 3 toons at 400 and i still cant get a spindle. after watching this i may try once more.

[@Descrates]

lmaaoo, this is what I like to see, actual no-guns not that sword bull shit

[@FaceJah]

Last night doing the Crota weekly featured Raid I had a Black Spindle drop as a reward after doing the DeathSinger challenge. Has anyone else had this happen this week?

[@Esoterickk]

Funnily enough it happened to me the very first Deathsinger run I did after this Black Spindle run. Hadn't seen it drop before on Deathsinger but I know others have had it come from there.

[@simondepass]

How I miss the nothing Manacles I hope they eventually make a return to destiny 2🙏🙏🙏

[@dn-zb2bj]

So damn good

[@garykennedy3054]

Why are you such a badass dude haha

[@v.4.vanquishl177]

well done

[@LeonSkillsXB]

Certainly, you are not a human being, sir!

[@wahidtrynaheghugh260]

Uh... Can’t even think of a good comment. I’m speechless.

[@TheResilienceRoad]

Just imagine what he will do if he uses his weapons :-D

[@huckn21]

Amazing 😊😄

[@na-jj9689]

god daaaaam

[@stuartb04]

is there anything you cant do in this game.....good stuff anyone who dislikes this cant do it. that simple.

[@sShield]

Lmfao y'all really bullying TheJewHimself. 😂 Amazing video tho lol.

[@StreakKiller]

it says in the description that jew gave him the idea

[@sShield]

Streak Killer I saw after I posted the comment.

[@emperort.7300]

you need to be nerfed

[@Personalbestpb]

woooh just ^^ GG ;)

[@zilwastaken]

Optimal dps.

[@sharkymalarkygames2603]

I can't even do this thing with 3 people and I'm a pretty good player

[@oggabob]

With three people the Difficulty actually increases, enemies gain more armour and health. I tested it in the iron tomb once and it took more bullets to kill the ultras with 3 people than 1
