Solo Expert Encore "Datarunner" Triumph - Secret Portal, Timer & Softlock Bug Fix [Destiny 2]

Destiny 2 The Final Shape - Solo Expert Encore "Datarunner" Triumph - Secret Portal, Transient Whisper Emblem Reward & Softlock Bug Fix / Solo Timed Encore Triumph. Just a quick video showing the final secret in the Encore mission, completing it solo within the timer it adds, along with a way to fix the softlock bug. Details below.
As per my video yesterday, this mission can softlock for solo players in the second half. After the first boss fight, all of the enemies can bug out, and you cannot progress the mission. To fix this, you need to wipe during the first boss fight, where it's a darkness zone. I'd previously tried wiping after the boss, but as it wasn't a darkness zone, it made no difference. So this cannot be done as a "flawless", but I don't think there's even a triumph for that, so who cares I guess. Either way, it was a pretty annoying bug, and I wasted a lot of time doing it. Thanks to electriczone1's comment that suggested this fix.

If it's not a locked loadout why not equip' an eager edge sword? Skate too. They're 2 secret emblems, i assume ones flawless?

[@protonprime_4958]

There are ways to get around this without wiping.

[@camelat7228]

don't worry we all very much believe that if you were allowed to flawless this you absolutely would lol

[@deejay4839]

Once again you've done it again. I like your vids, I learn a lot about game play, certain things that aren't worth killing and moving on.

[@emperorgolden8425]

Bro, i never knew you could skip going in the ball...that saves so much time

[@hereticnasom]

You can do a lot faster vertical movements using The Mountaintop as well. You can skip the elevators, and the entire room at 7:00 by launching yourself up as soon as you enter the room.

[@BaconBits2089]

@@hereticnasom You can just jump on the tree, then to a little ledge on the left side as well. That's how I did it for about 5-6 times before finding the actual route

[@ShortThe1st]

Watch a speedrun video! You'd be surprised how many things you can go past easily especially with mountain top.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

Guys those mountaintop skips were done on Normal without ads

[@jackalsniper892]

Speed running is so pointless and sweaty, ruining the fun of actually running the mission

[@icarusrising2787]

Cool that a gun can serve as a key for this, even cooler that it's Xol, but lame that we get no secret dialogue from him or anything potentially regarding the not-worm god in the Vex network

[@Hedron1027]

This Exotic Mission wasn’t really as big as I’d thought it’d be. But holy shit Bungie put so much in this thing. 7 secret chests, 3 Intrinsic Perks, 3 Catalysts, the little Vex dudes that you can collect, the 8 anomalies that give you lore and then unlock a secret timed run with a cool ass Emblem waiting for you as a reward.

[@l3ftie578]

Yeah there’s hella secrets, this time trial is the only one I have left

[@WHlSKYtx]

[@jackalsniper892]

@@l3ftie578 not true, I play many other games for fun, but secrets are dumb and pointless literally a waste of time when you could be doing something to progress your character, also use a weapon better than choir for dmg, if you're using it for damage then you're being dumb

This is the same game community that still doesn't know how to pass the ball on the corrupted...

[@callmeshaggy5166]

@@adrianpickel1482 I would not be opposed to a tooltip popping up each time you pick it up in that strike that can only be dismissed by passing the ball. Throwing it repeatedly would do nothing and if you break a shield without passing it then you have to have the tooltip on the entire rest of the strike.

I'm looking forward to the Remnant 2 content coming in the next few weeks. I hope you will end up doing the new Boss Rush mode they are adding too.

[@queueeeee9000]

4:47 idk how many times I've grabbed a stupid tangle instead of a module or a revive. So annoying 😂

[@l3ftie578]

Tangles must have priority for some reason

[@KBanause]

It's not only tangles but diamond lances or the axes of the Titan's Twilight Arsenal too. It's really annoying that the pickup of those items have a higher priority for being pickuped than revives or encounter mechanics

@@KBanause smh my head so hard at bungo

[@GrandmaDestiny]

Very nice! Lovely in fact. So fun to watch precision!

[@YuriiTemnikov]

On 2:20 y can jump from platmorm right up, when it going up - it boost your vertical speed and allow skip second lift platform. Working for titan jump, at least.

[@leadfarmer_]

Damn, I couldn't do it this fast if YOU did it for me 😅 good on you!

[@aidenation101]

The more and more I deal with tormentors, the more I hate how they play. I felt it was more fun fighting lucent hive in Lightblade than a tormentor in the Lightfall strike

[@andrewrenatonafarin2104]

the tormentor for some reason cannot walk up the stairs near the rally banner... and they can't reach you when you stand on the dead vex gate.

[@barbaricbri]

Theres absolutely no way in hell im running this mission again, bungo really likes beating a dead horse

[@mr.williams1997]

That’s what I’m saying. It’s already sickening that you preorder an annual edition, but you’re still time gated on more than half the things you’ve paid for. Waiting three months for something I already paid for is insane and I can’t grind out everything in one week and then focus back on my job smh. What makes it even sadder is the player base is ok with this method of content drip. Only free to play games should be allowed to time gate things. People complaining about Pete Parson’s lifestyle, but not realizing they are making him rich because they’ll consume anything. Even if it’s a crumb of recycled content. Look how people are going crazy over the Icebreaker that is a core reward for the NEW dungeon. Same thing they did with GHorn.

[@c.m.6358]

Nice looking emblem!

[@Esoterickk]

Ya it's a nice one for sure

[@jackalsniper892]

It's literally ugly

[@CasperWeasel93_TTV]

Esoterickk you fabulous beast, I wonder what would happen if you took time off from the game and came back... like would you have the same skill level, the same trigger finger, anticipation etc. Petition the crowd?

[@HoodHound]

If you’re doing it in a group, does everyone have to go through the portal, or is it just one person?

[@richard-davies]

When I did it in a group only one person went in and activated the timer. We all then got reset to the start and then the timer begun. So only one team member needs the whisper equipped to make it work.

[@HoodHound]

@@richard-davies awesome, thank you bro

[@callmeshaggy5166]

I'm wondering how far ahead you can clear enemies before starting the timer

[@kevin24lg]

Man I tried doing expert on Titan and got crushed by the boss on the left side. There's just no cover and the titan kit doesn't have enough survivability. Warlock is really strong here.

[@army-ruler]

where do you get that sidearm?

[@anetematos7151]

Aguardando o GM Covil dos Demônios. Sempre tento fazer como vc faz😊

[@KiloOscarZulu]

Would it be better to wipe at the 3rd room of the middle boss fight, rather than at the start? That way, you get to place a banner and get your super and ammo back. Or will it not work?

[@DsLxicDragonite]

did they not nerf getaway artist with devour yet or is eso just running it anyway? ive been out of the loop for like a month now
