Esoterickk | Solo Expert Battleground Conduit (Solar Warlock) [Destiny 2] @Esoterickk | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Destiny 2 The Final Shape - Solo Expert Battleground Conduit on a Solar Warlock / Solo Flawless Expert BG Conduit 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.
A lot more simple than week 1, as every encounter has a safe spot you can clear the enemies from. The solar build works well for chain ignitions. Boss should've been a 2 phase, but phase 1 I saved Whisper ammo thinking that the Barrier Champions would respawn. Second phase I got flinched all over the place, but ultimately me holding off on phase 1 was what caused the issue. Otherwise, it's pretty straight forward.

![Solo GM Liminality on a Prismatic Hunter [Destiny 2 The Final Shape]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/s9JICY9FShA/hqdefault.jpg "Solo GM Liminality on a Prismatic Hunter [Destiny 2 The Final Shape]
Destiny 2 The Final Shape - Solo GM Nightfall Liminality Completion on a Hunter / Grandmaster Liminality Solo 2040 Max Difficulty / Grandmaster Destiny Nightfall Solo Liminality / Liminality Grandmaster Solo / Solo GM Liminality / Solo Gilded Conqueror. Just a video of a solo completion of the Grandmaster Nightfall The Ordeal this week in Liminality. Details below.
I was originally thinking of trying out a Graviton build for this, to see how complete safety would be, but it feels so slow these days when compared to the Prismatic options. So I went with the usual Liars Hunter, which worked pretty well for the entire strike. Could be a lot faster, and Titan can clear this much better, but this gets the job done. I think the class item Liars has a lot more potential on this, but RNG isnt kind to me at all.
Probably the last run Ill do of this GM for the season. Not too fond of the boss fight, and I dont have any decent Titan class items to really build into that playstyle. It works with default Synthos, but something else to pair it with would be nice for the added boost.
I also really hope they change the current schedule for GMs, as for me personally its probably one of the worst changes and timegating Ive seen in this game. Even with all the downtime over the years, at least Nightfalls provided the slightest bit of variation and some content for each reset. Theres absolutely no reason at all we should be stuck to 3 GMs per act, needing them to rotate twice until the next 3 appear. It ruins any variety to the GM playlist (which was already sorely lacking), and it makes repeat runs just feel completely pointless when theyre so close together. It also needlessly prolongs the Conqueror seal until act 3, which why we dont have the selector node yet is beyond me. I wasnt too fond of the previous system, and Ive mentioned before different ways I wanted to see more variety and choice over what we do. But at least back then the 5-6 week gap made the repeat nightfalls not feel pointless, instead knowing itll be the same again in 2 weeks.

This is probably the most Ive felt any difference in a mission between pre-TFS until now. The enemies in this hit surprisingly hard in here, and even with Devour and the Gyrfalcons build youre still able to get melted down very quickly. On top of that, loadouts are locked now, so youre not able to have a better loadout for the boss. It makes it quite a bit longer than it otherwise would be, but outside of that, this shows a fairly safe approach to getting it done. Theres probably other builds and setups that can get it done quicker, but this one is straightforward enough. I played it extra safely in the later stages as I didnt want to have to start over again.

Just a quick video showing a Solo Flawless Legend Starcrossed being cleared using a Titan in Episode 1 Act 2 Echoes. Details below.
Not sure if running double special was the best choice here, but it did help with dealing with the Wyverns in the second area, which was the only real pain point I remember when running this before. Maybe just a regular primary would be better than Mountaintop though, and then you wouldnt have to juggle ammo adn speed a lot of other sections up. Either way, its straightforward enough.
Its also kind of weird the naming conventions and locked loadout rules for a lot of these missions. Most of the legacy exotic missions do have locked loadouts, for example Vexcalibur which didnt in the past - but then this one doesnt. They also dont seem to follow the same naming rules of expert vs legend either, so I dont know. Feels like these are kind of forgot about.

Ill have a full compilation of all this weeks story content up a little later on. For now, starting with the beginning mission. I also apologise for the gameplay and any delays, my normal PC has had a lot of issues and is currently unusable (assuming 13th/14th gen CPU degradation). So Im using a second PC to do all of this for now. I havent had much time to prepare or get used to the game again, nor set up any different builds, so it might be a little shaky to start. Ill have different builds to use once the release settles down.

Just a quick video showing the newly added exotic mission in Encore: Coda, the exotic mission to get the exotic void Auto Rifle Choir of One. Details below.
I wasnt planning to post this, but as this replaces what would normally be the final mission of the season, I figured a full playthrough with a focus on the dialogue would be best, as I normally do with all the season finale missions. Only a few minor changes here, notably the Cabal in the final sections, and more lasers in the death wall section.
Ill have the guides up for the chests and catalyst in a little while, along with the full story focused video.

Destiny 2 Episode Revenant - The Absolute Best Easy Tonic Resources Farm (50+ Reclaimed Vitality Per Minute & Powders). Just a quick video showing the best farm method to get tonic materials and resources.
This will give you countless Reclaimed Vitality, along with many Volatile and Enriched Powders. This will unlock a huge amount of the tonic patterns, and allow you to level up Eido at the same time. Im also assuming if you had the current Onslaught weapons tonic unlocked, and the perk from Eido that dismantling current season weapons gives you higher level materials, itd be a perfect farm for everything. Hopefully this cuts down the grind for people.

00:00 - Ascent
23:19 - Dissent
1:05:41 - Iconoclasm
I originally did these a little over a month ago when I posted the 3 of these individually, and I had plans at the time to post this compilation. I had it uploaded, but I forgot to post it, and then it got lost between Wukong and Remnant 2. With the new season/episode coming in a few days, Im getting back to posting a few Destiny 2 videos. I was originally going to leave this and post a GM or something for now, but Ive had a few PC issues to sort today, so this will have to fill the gap for now. Doing these was a fun experience, something different to do and figure out how to juggle, especially compared to the usual challenges on the channel.
Outside of that, Ill obviously be back into the full swing of things once Revenant arrives, covering everything these is to cover. Im a little concerned with the entire act being available at once, and Im not sure how well that will age with people despite it being requested. Either way, hopefully its better than Echoes, and Im looking forward to seeing the new dungeon.
As with the Dual Destiny mission, these are unfortunately impossible to truly solo. While you can handle almost all of the mechanics, the Fracture of the Witness ruins the ability to be able to do it as a true solo. So continuing in the same vein as I did with the Dual Destiny mission, I cleared this with my main character on mouse and keyboard, and the second character I used a controller on a second screen. And with that, I did the entire mission solo... playing two accounts at once.
As I said before, obviously this isnt a true solo or anything like that. The run itself isnt too difficult at all, but the initial time investment I had from Dual Destiny (and logistics of it all) took a bit. Theres also some downtime on one character or the other, as its physically impossible to control both simultaneously without any gaps in the gameplay, but hopefully with the two POVs being shown it shouldnt be too boring to watch.
