Solo Root of Nightmares - Full Raid [Destiny 2]

[@Esoterickk]

Full thoughts, details and plans going forward are in the description, but here's the answers to the most common questions: 1. Why post this when Solo Flawless is possible? I just like to have a compilation of all of the raid solo clears, including my first clears, regardless of what else is possible. I also never planned on doing the Solo Flawless this season, which leads into the next question. 2. When Solo Flawless Root of Nightmares? As I mentioned above, I didn't have any plans to do it this season. As it may already be evident, I'm just extremely burned out from Destiny 2 right now, and I didn't enjoy this raid at all. I've been doing challenges in Destiny for over 7 years now, pretty much non-stop, and it catches up with you. At the start of WQ I felt similar, but that time I had Elden Ring to break things up a little bit, so it wasn't as bad. Lightfall came, and after all of the grinding it caught up with me. So the idea of having to spend any more time doing challenges in this raid right now doesn't seem appealing. I'll do it in a future season when it becomes possible again. 3. Why leave it until so late in the season? Content-scheduling wise, it doesn't make much sense for me to do these challenges earlier in the season when there's other things to post. I usually leave them until later in the season, as it fills in the gaps when there's nothing else and the game is slowing down. I've also never been one to care about WF or anything like that, my only goal has always been to do what is possible and be consistent with it.

As someone who plays a couple nights a week and still got burnt out near the end of the season, I can’t imagine the burnout you and other content creators feel. Helluva run though. Congrats!

[@Adesia7]

You've been doing this since D1, take a break if necessary. You're a living gaming legend

[@r0st3r07]

take your time brother, play what you want to play, I'll watch your crazy challenges regardless if it's destiny or not

[@kf8828]

You do you Eso. Still one of my fav content creator I found and love since I was starting playing Destiny. Thank you!

[@solid244]

There is nothing wrong with taking breaks and some time-off from the game at all, if anything it is probably the healthy thing to do.

[@Flanders49]

Eso, you are an inspiration to many of us, as a relatively new player (2 years of D2 to be exact) I've learned a lot from your content. To see you being consistent all the time and clearing these challenges leaves me just in awe. Thanks to you I learned how to play warlock and titan (I main a hunter). Thanks to you I found the courage to attempt solo dungeons, a feat I thought to be impossible when I started playing. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for that. Having said all that, and I believe many of us share the feeling that you don't have to apologize to any of us for not liking aspects of the raid or the challenges it entails. Burnout is not a laughing matter, so take your time and take care of yourself. In the end, Destiny is a platform which enables us to accomplish something, however it also is just a game and as such it shouldn't come at the cost of your wellbeing. Thank you again for all that you have done for our community. Be well and eyes up Guardian!

[@Nukyyy]

Take all the time in the world if you ar burnt out, obviously sad to hear that you are, but there's nothing you can do about it besides taking breaks. Enjoy the other games you mentioned and do the SF whenever you care. You will get the clear soon enough

[@nicholasryan5906]

Agreed Eso is also just really good at every video game he plays so i wouldn’t mind watching him play something else or stream it’s def more important he plays what he likes

[@officialspek7670]

I took a year break and came back the start of this season and man was it worth it had so much fun catching up and doing the strand campaign nah that I’m almost caught up power wise I can do things like master nightfalls and raids

[@kingofantigua89]

Dope af! This was awesome man, you’re a legend in the community. Maybe you should take a break from destiny for a while. Maybe not a full break since the new season is coming up but maybe just do the important stuff like story missions and just spend your time on other games. You’re one of the most consistent destiny content creators and we appreciate everything you’ve done so far so if you need to take a break, no matter what game you play we’ll be here. I don’t play nearly as much as some do and even I got burnt out so trust me, we get it. Take care of your self man and again, great job 🙏🏽

[@haob4]

seeing eso do all of these things, who is probably just a normal person irl, really inspires me to do things i wouldnt have the bravery to do. all of these solo raids, dungeons, etc, really make me feel that i can do these things and a lot more, if i just put the time into it. thank you eso and keep doing amazing things.

[@c.m.6358]

Very cool to see a full raid solo clear! Impressive!

[@zentrader2020]

Eso, you have done so much for us over all these years. Take as much time as needed and come back fresh when you are ready.

[@Zeus.theOlympian803]

For a guy that has never done a raid before you give me courage that I still can do the raid by myself 👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯

[@celestial76]

Same here💯💯💯💯

[@dan1pwrr]

I love the fact when nez says guardians let me devour you’re fear and eso is the only makes me giggle

[@One2ooTree]

One more for the history books

[@tecfrost4495]

Regardless of timing in the season, these videos give the confidence (and loadouts lol) to try doing them solo myself. Aside from that, they're always entertaining. Keep up the great work!

[@oneyj]

A job well done, you are amazing and I enjoy the awesome challenging things you do for us! Thank you.

[@PsimonSez]

Excellent gameplay man! I expect nothing less from the King of the Solo Completes!

[@Fortifiedx413]

If you need to take a break that’s totally understandable this game can burn you out very fast I’ve experienced but any content you put out you’ve got my support man

[@Ellzor]

It makes me happy to hear that you're excited for other games. Definitely take a breather! Also well done!

[@crescentfuze]

Dude I am so psyched for Remnant 2 as well! Absolutely loved the first one and the next one looks even better, I too cannot wait!

[@zblouite3336]

GG legend, your content is THE reference when it comes to overcoming difficult challenge. FR, sometimes with my friends when we're struggling on a specific content, we're like "wait, just how did Esoterickk made it? can we adapt our gameplan incorporing his strategies?"

[@radofenix]

Bro , this is just amazing , you’re the goat. Shroud aceu and the rest of the streamers have nothing on you. This is way more entertaining than apex legends acls. WOW!!

[@Murda0209]

One my favorite content creators and I wish I was as skilled in this game as he is but I copy most of his builds and it has help me to solo alot of challenging content I would never thought about trying. Thanks for all that you do and the help.

[@Kitten_604]

Amazing as always!

[@rharms4]

Showing you love per Aztecross...great vid gamer!! ❤🔥🍻

[@christopheranderson3277]

you’ve officially mastered this game.

[@mun123keet]

Regarding the description about whether or not Solo Flawless is gonna be possible in the future, it might be impossible until something powerful comes in since Starfire is crucial to the damage checks, and it's getting nerfed.

[@giles.9862]

Sunbracers will replace it.

[@rzer_exile3534]

I swear you're not human.. this is crazy!

[@bengal4890]

I always watch these videos in awe and with joy. Also your loadouts switching right as you rally, is that clever editing or is it something that you do in the background?

[@trentdailey5587]

Dude you are amazing

[@jaymac21490]

Lmao you sent that cabal major flying at 20:26

[@AllThePlayers]

I don't blame you for not doing the Solo Flawless this season. Your comments around Explicator are exactly how I felt, and spending 25 minutes to get to Explicator to have some random wipe is not enjoyable at all.

[@eddiebernays514]

i love that damn armor set

[@zenith1391]

Always love the content Eso! Not sure if you like FF games but FF XVI and FF7Rebirth are around the corner! I know I'm taking a break from D2 for a bit to play those! Hopefully you get the rest you need!

[@lordshaxx887]

He is the real lore accurate guardian

[@moore864]

20:26 "team rockets blasting off again"

[@jjgetem8484]

My brain tells me i can do this too but when i try i dont last more than a second, absolutely insane

[@Dan0w93]

You are the true god/king of destiny. As for being burnt out, I get it..i myself am taking time away from destiny too, im just sorry to hear your feelin burnt out. Destiny can have a big impact on mental health I’ve found so yes take your time and enjoy other things, I’ll still be subbed no matter if it’s destiny or other games, hopefully some time away can reinvigorate you

[@cptsponko32]

Yessss I've been waiting for this❤

[@tiagohenrique6155]

Bro, you play a lot, you're a monster, how can you manage an entire Raid?

[@bolttheman]

Nice run. The Elden ring DLC cant come soon enough.

[@JessieTheFox]

No matter what you post I will always be impressed. Take a break from Destiny if you need to and play some other games! No one will hate you ❤️

[@yahyachaudhry6729]

Does anyone know how he's getting Restoration x2 so much throughout the first sections of the raid? Thanks!

[@texting7856]

seasonal artifact mod giving restro2x on collecting firesprites , in guessing

[@jaysonhunt5116]

safe to say there ain’t no way im soloing this

[@Trance_OCE]

Nice write up! You must been keen for Diablo 4 as well.

[@Havocinflames]

Dont say sorry for being negative. I think we all agree this season is a bit of a letdown

[@Bobcra7]

You have been grinding hard for many years and putting out great content. Get some rest and recharge

[@duckyboy4329]

gonna be using this to get nezzy checkpoint later today, wish me luck

[@despair268]

11:00 I love eager edge targetting lmao

[@frankiestein5116]

How are you randomly getting Restoration x2 for 3 seconds without using phoenix dive? It happens multiple times and it's difficult to tell from the footage what is proccing it.

[@luisfrancoalmaral4925]

Im also trying to figure that out / bump

[@user_28373]

That voice actor for Naz needs to take some classes 😂cuz good lord that laugh

[@DivineForcesBro]

Damn, I was worried about fusion nades/starfire getting nerfed. Seems sunbracers will replace it with ease.

[@patrickoakley7890]

Don't worry, they'll kill Sunbracers too.

[@makanil4788]

How is he healing so much on the first encounter

[@c4kes99]

Hello, new to Destiny here. At 1:44 part I cannot succeed to do the "seed puzzle" thing. A shockwave always interrupts and kills me in less than 20 seconds. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

[@spacemegainfamous]

Can you do a clear with the new method? Since this is no longer possible due to having to wait 2 whole seconds when switching loaduout

[@FrostSulfer]

quick question about one legitimacy of the run How are you getting resto 2 with out using phoenix dive on but on gernade kills?

[@FrostSulfer]

I noticed through the first and 2nd encounter you only used pheonix dive Once and that is what in the build you showed the only way to get restoration 2 on that build so something seems fishy to me

[@nogetaways]

@@FrostSulferseasonal artifact mod which gives you resto 2x when collecting a firesprite

[@optimusprime7682]

Yeah that seems like a lot, but I did enjoy it.

[@grajniepierdol]

LEGEND

[@juliankitch]

You said you wasn't guna do the full raid 😂

[@kevinkonopka869]

This run is not after nerf loadout

[@BFrydell]

Take a break! Who cares, we have plenty of Esoterickk videos to keep us busy

[@memecrider3585]

What makes Blowout the better option over Hothead? Just curious

[@luigistyle_]

Drops multiple perks whereas Hothead no longer does, better origin trait, rolls with Frenzy. This one is kinda subjective but the sight is also leaps and bounds better on Blowout than Hothead imo

[@Izanagli]

11:05 couldve been a run ender LOL

[@essa_1399]

hello , in second encounter how i do this long jump ?

[@paulplater5227]

Hiya how u do solo it raids so good

[@thomasdanhiez3089]

I'm gonna turn into convertible Less gooooo

[@sirnik6304]

Esoterickk to Esoterickk `Why no flaweless` and Nezarec thinks `just f*** you ` ;D

[@PedroHenrique-ts3ej]

Genius !

[@Samuel-Inc]

anyone know whats the thing with the ugly ship that he use ?

[@okeeee9865]

How to jump high like this??

[@hazdrex]

does anyone know what sniper he’s using?

[@angryscotsman2504]

First encounter looks kinda easy, may give it a bash later

[@REFORMEDKING627]

its one of the easiest solos in the game right now

[@VNvader]

You should try playing new mortal kombat or new tekken give fighting games a chance gotta switch up your genre

[@sircosta6200]

Cant wait for solo flawless!!!

[@jimjunglecock2866]

Are you stupid ? It’s not possible because of the nerf to weapon swapping

[@IronRevolution]

With Starfire butchering, new strats will have to come up

[@kramartist]

Warlocks can fly like that? wtf

[@TheGreatxX]

Insane❤ godmode
