Raid Mastery: An Updated Guide For Deep Stone Crypt (Tricks, Skips, Meta & More)

[@dasupersquid2121]

Even though I know every raid off by heart, it's so convenient having an updated (not to mention easy to follow and straight to the point) guide to show to newer players and keep up with what's meta for damage. Simply put; great guide, keep it up.

[@LlamaD2]

Thanks man, appreciate it!

Between stuff like this and Aegis, this has been one of the best years for Destiny data on youtube.

[@DanielGerber-bh4nx]

Deep stone is my favorite raid as well. The trio is really fun and I like how they added different roles by buffs with the terminals. The aesthetic is very nice in my opinion. Not to mention the lore of clovis bray and the crypt and the amazing music.

[@LlamaD2]

Agreed!

[@MisterTanglad]

took me 74 clears to get EOT years back, glad to know this old soul found a reliable guide to keep me up to date with the current strat ! great video ❤

[@LlamaD2]

Thank you :)

You can actually spawn in the heat bubbles in desolation if you clear all the adds on a respective heat bubble and stay in it for a while in general Which is incredibly slow and is useful literally never but still a "fun" fact Edit: Also, afaik, the start of the Atraks dps phase is linked to the death of the last of all 6 servitors both in space and in the crypt, so its possible to kill all 3 servitors in space and not start dps

I love that you appreciate the music in this game, it's my favorite part about playing Destiny.

[@thundercookie1741]

If i remember correctly, a titan with T-crash + falling stars alone should be enough for themselves to 1 shot the final stand, so having them on scanner would be sufficient since if possible they could just save super for final stand, and then pop it as soon as they located the target

[@jeremypaul2958]

it does not, a tcrash deals around 430k taniks final health is 1.7 mil

[@nicolapadoin9718]

Now THIS is the kind of guide I've been looking for, thank you for targeting this at those of us who know a lot about this raid and are trying to hyper-optimize.

[@LlamaD2]

No problem! Glad you enjoyed.

[@roundraccoon6141]

Maybe a very minor mistake made in the guide, though i could have misunderstood. At atraks-1, the damage phase is linked to the last of the 6 servitors dying and not specifically the 3rd one dying in the space station. Although idk why you would do it since its better to save one up top. It is the reason why if you do a 2 phase and stay up top it takes forever for dmg to start. Also if you forget to kill a downstairs servitor dmg wont start when you kill the 3 in space.

[@pour.mp4107]

The 2-3 skip in this raid is so cool

[@heretomars]

wow i made it in an llama vid! im finally out of the basement

[@darkshark722]

I literally know all these raids but just listening to this is actually fun ngl. Great videos. Could you maybe do low man guides? Like how to speedrun as a trio and stuff? Or is there somewhere I can find that information?

I swear you have the best guides ive ever watched

[@epsilondelta2967]

QUICK TIP! Do NOT enter the basement as operator until light and dark side have been scanned. There is an invisible timer that starts when operator enter the basement. You can void this simply by not going down until callouts are done.

[@TheMikeNolan]

unless your scanner is using a wii remote to move his camera to scan you'll have more than enough time to scan so this isn't really that helpful as you'll more than likely end up wiping to the fuses wipe mechanic timer long before you can execute this strategy of yours : )

[@epsilondelta2967]

@@TheMikeNolan Your strategy wastes time for no reason. All you get is an extra added chance to wipe. Why have op in the basement just waiting for callouts? Just go down once scanners are done. Also if op is upstairs you can just do 1 scanner and its faster. Literally no upsides to your strat :)

deep stone was an amazing raid. Both aesthetically as well as thematically. I hope something like that can come around in the future.

[@alecastroaraya]

Thank you very much for this, it's been a while since i did dsc but it's my favourite raid too and i never got the exotic rocket launcher so... i kinda want to do it again now

[@DerultimativeOzzy]

Really digging the series but I do wonder if there's going to be a version for the Raids with Master versions out there. It may not be for everyone, but I suppose Master Modes do play differently and people make loadouts according to the various challenges that comes with it.

[@typhlosion_3296]

Got a sub outta me for this mastery series dude. Appreciate the tips and tricks that youve taken time to collect and toss in a video. I dont raid often but this stuff will help me for whenever i can get people to raid w/ me lol

[@garrettdollar]

Thank you so much for making these! Liked and subscribed.

[@roundraccoon6141]

Fun fact about atraks-1. It is possible to debuff her with tractor and div etc, but you would need to apply it to the captain atraks-1 is tied to. This was done in older speedruns with div. I think it's still possible to get to the captain during the encounter, but it requires like an hour of setup.

[@LlamaD2]

Yeah back in the old days!

[@roundraccoon6141]

​@@LlamaD2Back when there were a lot of holes in crypt security and 4 holes in descent

[@yopwor]

My favorite raid as well, best mechanics out of any raid imo. I just wish that when they refreshed it during seraph they patched a majority of the cheeses. The modern atraks cheese strat especially as that fight is so much fun legitimately, still my fav in the game. Id love to see the first encounter fixed up a bit and make taniks challenge not give an extra phase, unless you do it normally

[@Maelsstrom]

1-detain for taniks can be done without a sword as long as you have icarus dash

[@dvdossbsvskfbdvav]

One niche and ultimately useless trick for taniks is that you can determine which side he's going to with scanner. If you see glowing bins in any 2 of the locations, you know for a fact that he'll be going to the one that's not got any glowing. If you're going too fast or too slow this won't be helpful as he'll move before you can read, but in lfg groups it's reasonably useful

Great video, but top and bottom callouts is just dumb... That's like saying the middle of the room is forward and everything else is to your right. It would be nice if scanner was discussed more for atraks and a few other things

[@andrewsabey2366]

In the Atraks encounter, what is the indicator for the scanner to be able to tell which is the correct one? Will it be the only one they can see or is there some sort of mark…

[@LlamaD2]

The correct atraks will be glowing yellow
