Worlds First Duo Flawless Master Root of Nightmares @SotoD2

Soto This is the hardest challenge I've done in this game so far and it was a pretty fun experience. In total it took us around 15 hours of practice and 3 hours of flawless attempts. We were fortunate enough to get Nezarec on our first try, which is by far the most inconsistent encounter in this entire challenge. You have very little room for error when it comes to Nezarec's damage phase, which will make or break your run.

Solo Caretaker (Warlock) - Season of the Wish

Soto 2024-01-21 | Fairly easy to complete this season considering all the seasonal mods that make damage phase extremely easy. In total it took me around 7 hours until I cleared.

Duo Exhibition - Season of the Deep

Soto 2024-01-21 | Side quest.

Duo Oversoul Throne Bridge - Season of the Witch

Soto 2023-09-07 | This encounter is pretty easy to complete as long as you learn the strand lineups.

Solo Flawless Root of Nightmares (Warlock) - Season of the Deep

Soto 2023-07-29 | Very glad it's finally over. I've been attempting to solo flawless this raid since last season, but I couldn't get it since I was busy with exams. Overall this took me about 16 hours of attempts, not including the time spent learning and practicing the encounters.

Solo Nezarec (Hunter) - Season of the Deep

Soto 2023-07-02 | This is by far way easier to solo on hunter than it currently is on warlock. Took me less than 3 hours to get the clear. The wall dodge is a bit tricky to get used to, but it's not that bad.

Soto 2023-06-13 | This was way easier than I expected, we managed to get it on our second try. Solo cleanse isn't as hard as I thought it'd be.

Duo Daughters of Oryx - Season of the Deep

Soto 2023-06-13 | Threw on purpose by killing the taken hobgoblin at 8:45 in order to get the clutch POV (trust).

Solo Flawless Ghosts of the Deep (Titan) - Season of the Deep

Soto 2023-05-27 | Boring dungeon.

Ignore my clunky movements, it was my first time doing the solo.

Solo Explicator (Warlock) - Season of Defiance

Soto 2023-05-03 | This boss gave me crippling depression, schizophrenia and epilepsy.

Solo Golgoroth (Titan) - Season of Defiance

Soto 2023-04-22 | With the ammo RNG needed to pull this off I might as well go and play slots 🎰

Solo Nezarec (Warlock) - Season of Defiance

Soto 2023-04-22 | This boss fight is full of things that can cause a wipe due to the enemies' behaviour, making it feel like it's more RNG than actual skill.
Anyways, the stars aligned for me in this run and I managed to finally clear it.
Took me around 17.5 hours of practice and 1 final stand wipe to get it.

Shoutout to Sojuski for giving me some tips:
