The largest unhealthy humanity has ever confronted, the potential destruction of the universe, and ultimate raid boss within the saga has been soloed by a single participant.
Bungie little doubt spent quite a lot of time designing The Witness encounter within the Salvation’s Edge raid with objective of pushing groups to their limits. Controlling enemies, interacting with the mechanics, after which dealing sufficient injury is a large enough ask for even probably the most seasoned raiders. And but one participant has executed the unthinkable: BogOnMyDog has soloed The Witness.
Hailing from Australia (yeah, boy!), BogOnMyDog has soloed The Witness within the Salvation’s Edge raid in an unimaginable show of ability. Within the video, you’ll be able to see the hoops the participant needed to soar by way of so as to not solely have interaction with the mechanics but additionally go the DPS checks. As a solo participant, he wanted to do the identical quantity of injury as a full six participant workforce throughout the identical time restrict.
To start with, BogOnMyDog needed to play on the Hunter subclass. This grants him entry to the Golden Gun Tremendous and Celestial Nighthawk, which not solely buffs the Tremendous but additionally the brand new Unique Sniper Rifle, Nonetheless Hunt. From right here, he utilized Apex Predator with Explosive Mild for the added injury from Orbs of Energy.
A part of this injury technique depends on an oddity of Golden Gun. Typically, the Tremendous will deal a bigger quantity of injury than supposed. Whereas uncommon, Lavatory writes, “Anticipating 1 chunk in roughly 20 Golden Gun pictures over the entire solo shouldn’t be unrealistic”. One among these misguided boosts to break occurred proper on the ultimate stand mark.

Throughout ultimate stand, Lavatory utilized an Edge Transit of all issues. The roll he used had Bait and Change (a 30 % injury improve) which allowed Lavatory to deal sufficient injury throughout the tight time restrict earlier than The Witness instigates a wipe.
Earlier than he may even get to break part, he’s obtained to undergo the motions of the mechanics. This requires rapidly shifting across the enviornment, capturing limbs and amassing buffs so as to break glyphs – all of the whereas killing enemies. However he’s not simply killing them, he’s corralling them and shifting the ammo they drop into particular positions so he can use Shoot to Loot through the DPS phases so as to refill his ammo.
It’s a really extremely feat that took, in accordance with Lavatory, about 150 hours of effort. This included theorycrafting on stream with customers serving to calculate perfect injury rotations, testing out methods, and little doubt perfecting the loadout swapping wanted to make this all work.
Lavatory notes that this solo try will seemingly turn out to be extra achievable because of the Act 2 Artifact mods releasing this week. However for now, he can relaxation soundly at night time understanding that he’s managed to solo one of many hardest boss fights in all of Future 2.
