Solo Caretaker - Season Of The Wish [Destiny 2]

Most scuffed final stand on yt? LOL
And now with Caretaker down i have officially solo'ed every soloable raid boss!
This solo was one of the more mechanically challenging ones to do, and although frustrating at times it felt really rewarding after i got better at both parts of the encounter which were the running phase and the damage phase.
This challenge took me around 10 Hours to clear, throughout the first half of it i could not get past the second floor and felt like i was not making progress. After taking a break and coming back the next day, i was getting to third floor every few attempts. I got the clear on my second final stand attempt even thought it was pretty scuffed, my plan was to use my well on the first plate so i can have extra time to shoot off the darkness missiles. But when the panic set in i ended up forgetting what to do and started dealing damage with an auto rifle (Solo Operator momemt) nonetheless im happy to have cleared the encounter!
As for the running portion of the challenge ill quickly say that my plan is to quickly look for groups of 3 symbols that are located at my running path and ill be using eager edge to go fast enough so that im not gaining too many stacks of darkness, and in addition im shooting a mountain top shot with sticky nades to keep the doors to the symbol room opened.
And for damage im using Sunbracer nades along with the "Touch Of Flame" aspect and the VOTD raid mod "Into The Light" for massive grenade damage!
To finish things off i want to point out that my plan for the season was to solo flawless Root Of Nightmares once, and since then i have made (in my opinion) so much more progress.
Since i was afraid of spending lots of time learning planets i started doing challenges in other raids instead, and eventually went through lots of other solos. Im proud to say that after clearing every challenge i set for myself i felt that i was getting better as a player and i was able to rediscover how fun lowmans could be!
There are a few extra challenges that i was not able to do yet (Gatekeepers & SF VOG) mostly due to burn out, and to be honest im not sure i will ever end up doing those (mostly due to ammo farming, atheon RNG & the seasonal artifact). But you can still expect to see more endgame content from me as new challenges roll out!

Jesus that’s wild. Congrats!

[@swimmabledust6982]

That is absolutely astonishing, Sunbracers does work wonders! Awesome work!

[@EncryptedD2]

Thanks! Though i should add that with the VOTD raid mod called "Into The Light" nades do ALOT more damage, so in addition to the "Touch Of Flame" aspect Sunbracers just nuke ;)

Thank you! to be honest if you thought this one was good, im just gonna say that my next upload potentially has the best thumbnail i made on this channel :P

[@DT_wolfson]

@@EncryptedD2 I really need to actually start making thumbnails huh

[@wmags]

That was highly impressive

[@chase_9752]

nicely done.. made it look easy.. for the final stand why'd you go with dragons breath thou?

[@EncryptedD2]

Thanks! Dragon's Breath for the most part is being used for its damage over time effect which means i can deal damage from multiple sources at the same time (in this case a sniper). in addition it also has a bit of synergy with my solar build, since it can apply lots of scorch stacks to give back more ability energy as well as being able to trigger ignitions more rapidly (which stagger the boss and add some extra damage).
