@@queueeeee9000the oracles during the atheon boss fight need to be shot in a specific order that your teammates call out, otherwise you wipe. By destroying the three oracles together, it circumvents the need for callouts, making the run to damage phase solo completely possible

[@HelpDeskHustler]

I’m not familiar with solo strats, what’s the point of the stasis crystal before killing each round of oracles? Awesome job!

[@TheShadowPhoenix]

It’s to move the Aegis away from you when you drop it so you can have a clear shot on the oracles. (Otherwise, it blocks you)

[@user-pw2fu9dy6k]

makes relic drop away from you so you can shoot oracles without it being in the way

[@Slommy_]

The hitbox of the relic is massive so the stasis crystal is used to force the relic to drop behind you. that way you can shoot oracles without being blocked by the relic. it looks so goofy but it works

[@HelpDeskHustler]

Ok cool, thanks!

[@DanielGerber-bh4nx]

it causes the relic to drop a little away from you so that it doesn't obstruct your view on the oracles

[@dreechte]

Okay waht exactly are you doing and why are you doing it? Whats the stasis crystal for, how do you get the right order of oracles, why the quick leaving and reentering the portal and why the finisher? I think thats all i didnt get xD good work man

[@Slommy_]

it all relies on not getting “Lost In Time” which occurs when nobody is alive in the main boss room for 2 seconds and results in a wipe. after doing the finisher while getting teleported, the game thinks you’re in the main room wherever you would have returned to after the finisher (on the Mars plate), so you don’t get Lost In Time. If you move (or even have your feet shuffle bc you look to the side) the game refreshes your position and realizes you’re not in the overworld which gives you Lost In Time. When it’s time to exit, you have to leave in under 2 seconds, hence the skate. Even after going back to the main room this mechanic still applies in Mars, hence the in-and-out when shooting 3rd oracles. Because I can’t move while in Mars, the stasis crystal moves the relic backwards when I drop it. otherwise it would block my view when shooting oracles. If you break all 3 oracles at around the same time you don’t actually need to know the order (timed using 2 delayed projectiles and a hit-scan bow shot). I do read the 3rd set using either vision or sound so I am able to shoot those in order. Everything I explained was found by the solo raids community, not me. The strategy is meant for Warlock (I have that posted as well), but I added a few small changes to make it viable on hunter.

[@loganlund6801]

How did your punch do so much damage? How do you know the order of oracles, And how the hell did you get so much super energy and keep ur super what the hell😂. I need some explaining

[@Slommy_]

I’ve already explained the mechanics in a few other comments, so check those if curious. As for damage, Atheon is super weak to ability damage (3-4x multiplier iirc), so stack that on top of the Stylish Executioner build and you can 3 shot him. For super energy, there’s a raid mod that gives you super energy when breaking oracles that stacks higher the more copies you have equipped. With 3-4 copies you can get full super from one set of oracles

Is it possible to do the relic glitch for a better positioning on warlock?

[@Slommy_]

Yep, it can be useful in both the initial tp and the skate to the portal

[@RegularUSMCdirtbag]

4 grapple melees and a sword swing

[@Toasty-buns]

I’m just wondering how come you weren’t able to 1 phase it? It looked like you maybe could have gotten a few grapple melee’s in but idk if that’s like mechanics or something?

[@Slommy_]

Stylish Executioner gives a hidden 3x buff to melee damage. I’m triggering it through the tether when I proc my one-two punch on the boss, so it requires that an ad is in the tether. I’m mostly just waiting for an ad to walk into the tether so I can attack again. It is definitely possible to 1 phase, and you can actually do so in 3 melees if you start with Radiant applied, but you’d need really good luck with the ads walking into the tether. imo it was easier to take the safe 2 phase so I opted for that

[@freakinschweeet]

I clearly play a very different Destiny 2

[@Yhallaa]

How can you have full grenade energy after using it?

[@Slommy_]

“Time’s Vengeance” gives you fast super energy regen and chunks of grenade energy, which scale with your base stats and a few other buffs. So with Time’s Vengeance, 100 disc, and HoIL class item it’s almost instantly back. The warlock strategy works the same way so you can spam Verity’s Brow buffed nades

[@s0.diviine]

ive never done VOG so can someone explain to me what is happening and why he is doing so much damage and if its possible to replicate it normally

[@karameldanzen]

he's stacking a bunch of damage buffs like radiant in between invuln phases to smack the boss with a lot of damage whenever he uses his grapple melee

[@Slommy_]

have explained the solo mechanics in a few other comments, so check those if curious. not sure what “normally” means in this context, but it’s replicable as long as ads are near the boss. Atheon takes extra ability damage (3-4x multiplier iirc), so that stacked with the Stylish Executioner build is able to 3 shot him

[@your__neighbor4130]

Bro how’d you know the oracle’s pattern on mars??

[@Slommy_]

Breaking all 3 at around the same time counts as correct pattern

[@senorbah5481]

One time i joined an lfg of vog and i asked if they wanted me to do a role and the dude just said “nah, trust” and basically soloed the whole thing 😂

[@theholybacon8154]

Does this still work and if so i cant get it too work like the grapple melee is just so inconsisted in the air sometimes i just punch is there anyway to get around this. goated video btw :))

[@Slommy_]

thanks! it should still work, yes. To get the actual grapple melee animation instead of the regular melee you need a little bit of momentum. best way to do this is by grappling at an angle (90 degrees to the side, straight up in the air, etc) and by backing up after each melee to get a little distance between you and the boss.

[@miraak9521]

How are you able to so consistently get the grapple melee to hit like that? When i use it against the first boss of war lords ruin it’s not reliable at all.

[@Slommy_]

if you’re struggling to get the grapple melee animation and are punching/knifing instead, try placing the grapple point high in the air or far off to the side so you’re able to build momentum before punching. If you’re getting good grapple melees but not getting chunks, make sure there’s an enemy (other than boss) in your tether that will die to the shotgun shot, and make sure you grapple very fast after shooting so that you get invis DURING the grapple, which is what gives u the 3x dmg multiplier.

[@rickydoesstuff]

Is solo one phase with this strat possible?

[@Slommy_]

For sure. If you can get radiant beforehand I’m pretty sure you can kill in 3 grapple melees. Just need a ton of luck with ads moving into the tether. I tried experimenting with killing the plate ads beforehand and having them respawn during DPS but had no luck. If you get ads to respawn the 1 phase should actually be pretty easy. I would consider hunting it but the eager glitch is mostly patched :(

[@evstar14]

How easy u think 1 phase would be? I still havent messed around with hunter stuff this dlc yet

[@Slommy_]

It’s definitely possible, just not easy. you’d need a very specific ad lineup and a bit of luck for atheon to stay in tether with his annoying new pathing. you can actually 3 shot if you start with radiant, but getting 3 separate ads to walk into tether while still keeping 2 near for synthos proc felt near impossible. for reference, I made around 50-60 damage phases and never got that setup solo :/ But I’m sure some of the solo goats could cook up a consistent 1 phase strat if they tried

you so couldve 1 phased

[@Slommy_]

it’s possible, just not probable. I need a new ad in the tether each time I melee to get a huge chunk like that, so I opted for a safe 2 phase instead of praying for the lucky 1 phase. would have been a million times cooler as a 1 phase tho
