Esoterickk | Solo Contest Vesper's Host Dungeon (Up To Final Boss) [Destiny 2] @Esoterickk | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 minute ago.
Destiny 2 Episode Revenant - Solo Contest New Vespers Host Dungeon Up To The Final Boss on Contest Difficulty w/ No Dupes. Just a compilation video showing a solo contest clear of the new dungeon reaching up to the final boss, which is unfortunately impossible. But here's the rest of it all. Details below.
00:00 - Load-in & Entrance
04:05 - Solo Contest First Encounter "Activation"
11:35 - Solo Contest Second Encounter "Infiltration"
18:56 - Solo Contest Raneiks Unified Boss Fight
39:17 - Jumping Puzzle To Final Boss & End
I've put more in-depth thoughts on the previous videos for each of those encounters (and builds), but I'm happy that the majority of this is possible. First encounter was a great challenge with no dupes. The servitor boss fight is a terrible RNG check where you just spam right-click and hope you magically deal stasis chunks to beat it. A bit of a shame the final boss is impossible, but at least the majority was doable.
As for my thoughts on the contest and dungeon as a whole, I'm a little mixed. For contest, I enjoyed the first encounter a lot, and I think from a community and challenge perspective it's a nice addition which is very well done for a full fireteam. For my own personal content creation perspective, I was in a bit of a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. Obviously my channel is built around guides and solo content, so naturally my focus has to be going into the dungeon blind on release, where only contest is available. That creates a situation where I'm going to need to either spend an excessive amount of time getting the contest encounters done solo (blindly not knowing if they'd even be possible). In doing so, I'm then removing the ability to follow my normal cadence of uploads and content for dungeon releases, where I'd usually have multiple guides, full clears and solo flawless runs done within the first few hours. I've shifted my channel to prioritise "guides first, challenges later" over the years, as that's the only way keep a D2 challenge channel going. But if I was to follow that approach, then I'd likely miss out on being able to put enough time into contest before it goes away in the 48 hour window, along with the inevitable wondering from people where the solo contest videos are.
Anyway, that's a problem that's pretty much exclusive to me, and ultimately it impacts nobody other than myself here. But that's where my mind is at with the release of this, and it's something to weigh up for the future dungeons as to what the best approach for the channel is.
The dungeon itself is also very good, and it feels more raid-like than some of the raids we've gotten over the years. I do think the final boss highlights a bit of a pain point for solo runs with the massive health pools and time needed to commit to getting a clear for the majority of people.
Up next will be solo flawless normal.

![Solo Expert Battleground Core (Solar Warlock) [Destiny 2]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UAQNr4FrSqE/hqdefault.jpg "Solo Expert Battleground Core (Solar Warlock) [Destiny 2]
Destiny 2 The Final Shape - Solo Expert Battleground Core on a Solar Warlock / Solo Flawless Expert BG Core in Episode 1 Echoes. Just a quick video showing a solo flawless clear of the newly added Battleground this week on Expert Difficulty, being cleared using a Warlock in Episode 1 Act 2 Echoes. Details below.
Maybe the most difficult boss fight of the 3, as it can get pretty chaotic, especially if you dont end up getting ammo drops. If you get some better ammo drops early though, you can probably clear it a lot faster and safer. Either way, these battlegrounds were fun to solo on expert. Not the most difficult by any stretch, but something different to do. Theyll probably feel pretty decent as GMs, if they ever turn into those.
Lastly, regarding the loadout, I wanted to keep it the same between the 3 battlegrounds. I was originally planning to do them as one final video with all 3 in one, due to the nature of them starting from the end point of the previous one. Not sure if Ill do that now, but either way I wanted to keep it as one overall experience.

Just a quick video showing the Alepsis-Taura boss fight in Remnant 2, in the third DLC The Dark Horizon. Details below.
00:00 - Version 1 (Destroy Both Crystals in Overworld)
05:57 - Version 2 (Destroy Only 1 Crystal in Overworld)
12:10 - Version 3 (Destroy 0 Crystals in Overworld)
Close second behind Annihilation for my favourite fight in the series. Brilliant overall, very chaotic and overwhelming at first, but once you get used to it, the pacing is really good. Had a lot of fun with it.
As for the different versions, theres minor differences in the fight. 1 crystal destroyed brings the walls from the edges of the arena before the final phase, and a shield on the boss in the middle phase. 0 crystals destroyed brings those walls and the big beam that covers half the map, and two shields in the middle phase. Both crystals destroyed means theres no walls before the final phase, or shields on the boss in the middle phase.
All thats left is the final all bosses compilation, and then Ill likely work towards the 19 boss rush. A few things I want to test and tweak first with this build so I dont constantly get one hit, but outside of that I dont think itll be too bad at all.
Ill also have one final compilation with all bosses, both base game and all dlcs. Just a few more event aberrations to find.

Destiny 2 The Final Shape - All Exotic Mission Secrets in Week 2 / All 5 Encore Exotic Secret Chests (Week 2) - Choir of One Exotic Catalyst, NES008 Specimen Location, Intrinsic Upgrade Perk & Hidden Chests Guide / All Currently Available Hidden Chests in Encore Exotic Mission Week Two. Just a quick video showing the five locations of the hidden chests in the exotic mission this week, along with the NES008 specimen. Details below.
00:00 - Secret Chest Nexus Access (Week 1 Chest, Needed to Access All Other Chests)
01:12 - Secret Chest Hexahedron Hunt, NES008 Specimen & Exotic Choir of One Intrinsic Upgrade (NEW Week 2 Chest)
04:54 - Secret Chest Vector Extension (Week 1 Chest)
06:15 - Secret Chest Signal Seeker & Exotic Catalyst Banshee Quest Completion (NEW Week 2 Chest)
10:20 - Secret Chest Gatekeeping (Week 1 Chest)
This guide contains all of the secrets available in the mission so far. Ive put the week 2 chests up first in each of their locations, but after that Ive also included the week 1 chests for anybody who may have missed them last week. Ive also included timestamps that will allow you to skip to anything you may or may not need.
Make sure that youve completed NES007 (last weeks specimen quest). I also believe these need to be done in Encore: Concerto to get the week 2 chests, which is the version of the mission available this week when progressing the seasonal questline.
