DerekRLFor those wondering how this compares to Duo Flawless Deepstone Crypt, I would say that DSC is mechanically harder while Crota has more places where you can easily make a small mistake and wipe. Glad to have it done. Huge shoutout to Biggz for putting the time in with me to grind this out this early on.

Activating transcendence drops the heart, you can cancel the transcendence before the animation finishes by using something like a super or a diamond lance slam. You can charge transcendence by having gally and a shackle grenade on and then walk out and right before you get teleported you have time to get a shackle grenade off and a gally shot.Duo One Floor Caretaker - Strand Titans - Season of the WishDerekRL2024-03-28 | Yup.

Somewhere under 5 hours I think, but I have also had a lot of experience with this encounter and Strand Titan so there was very little learning going on. Got this on the first attempt after taking a break, so the gameplay is a little cold/lukewarm.
Also I think a solo one phase is possible, my pb for a single phase that did not get started on time and was not perfect by any means is 10.5mil.

First and foremost thanks to Mo5tein for coming up with the strategy for us to cook. Also big shoutout to the Lowman Hub discord server for putting a bounty on this. This challenge took us somewhere between 20-25 hours in total to clear.
One big thing to note is that in the clear, we got a "goldy chunk" which means that Biggz's golden gun super hit for 2x damage, which is the big chunk of health disappearing at the start of damage. This bug is something that we cannot control happening and honestly, it is a little frustrating that it did happen. The run before the clear (the wipe screen shown at the very start) we got a new pb of 121k damage from killing. Damage is very tight to clear normally but it is doable (see the pb vid linked below). The solar hunter can hit up to 2.8 million damage max and the void hunter can hit up to around 2.3 million max damage with Sanctified Mind having 4.8 million total health. This boss can be very frustrating to damage with things like missing goldy crit, boss moving out of the tether, not being able to start damage, dying/getting flinched by ads during damage and the list goes on. This strategy also relies on being able to bug envious to fill to 400% of the mag in the gl.
Shoutout to Solo Grimgar for the moral support and for running Twitch predictions on Biggz's stream keeping us entertained while running this.Duo 1 Phase Taniks on Strand Titans (ft Biggz)DerekRL2023-09-29 | Shoutout to Lowman Hub for putting a bounty on this challenge. This challenge was rather interesting... we didn't exactly intend to go for it right away, but we quickly realized it was possible. We were encouraged by MO5tein to attempt this as we were already pretty much using Strand Titan against every boss. This took us around 10-15 hours, we had a lot of runs where we got so close. With so many where it was just one little mistake that would have made the difference. Overall, the challenge was not too difficult, we lost a lot of time to just warming back up to the duo mechanics and just rather dumb mistakes. For anyone wanting to go for this challenge I want you to know that it is important to bait Taniks over to where you do damage (he doesn't move much, but the little he does makes a difference).
I'll include builds for those interested, though they are nothing special. The only notable thing is 100 mobility and that's just normal for duo taniks.

Oh and then there's final stand which is hard to get practice at unless you make it there lol. I traded with Nez twice before getting this clear. No audio because I did not have shadowplay recording that and to be honest it is mostly just my music being loud and me saying "YES! Finally he's dead" at the end or something.

This solo is simple in concept and rng is a bitch. You can clear with sub-par rng you just can mess up at all. I also ended up changing my strategy from when I first started doing as I lost 2 final stands to bad rng when I tried doing it with operator. I'd recommend doing the way I cleared with scanner, prepping all servitors for quick kills. I also struggled in the beginning with bouncing the buffs, but in the end, I cleared!
