Thank you for not introducing yourself in your video or having a ten-second intro with trashy dance music

[–]amezibra 14ポイント15ポイント  (3子コメント)

i did a solo run yesterday with a titan..

  • you can cheese the first part same as the hunter (behind the front wall bush)
  • you can skate over the cyclops part before the elastic wall appear and kill him from the far left..safe. (you can even go to the boss room before killing the cyclops if you want to safely train for the jump to the cheese spot) and come back to kill him once you want to trigger the checkpoint.

  • you can use shoulder charge and jumps to get the boss cheese spot..

  • kill yourself with ToM and kill the boss with a grenade and the round that kill you.

[–]Omnipitous 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Is there a cheese spot guide? I don't know what you're talking about in the slightest.

[–]vaporsilver 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nevermind. Finally got the video to work.

[–]orielbean 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Do you have a video w/ the ToM strat, in terms of figuring out the exact method of which grenade then the final shot killing you both? Would prefer that over the hunter method as I main a Titan. Thanks!

Got it first try I think the secret is not to care and it will 100% drop

[–]Strangely_quarky 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

It's always you, Esoterickk. Great moves, keep it up, proud of you.

[–]Pyromaniac22x 4ポイント5ポイント  (4子コメント)

Is your sniper 335 in this example? Armour and weapons at max light, it only takes 16 precision shots for me.

Edit: Nevermind, I should have watched the video first. I found where we went different. I was doing 16 precision shots with WoL and then dragons breath suicide. Cool that someone has done the math for another method. Thanks for the guide!

[–]Jgugjuhi 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

You're using WoL though. That provides about 25% more damage with Illuminated if im not mistaken.

[–]Pyromaniac22x 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yep, you're right. I was in the middle of editing my comment when you replied lol. Thanks for confirming.

[–]mfGLOVE 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

How do you get close enough as a solo Titan (ie not using Vanish)? Do you get FB to proc before our suicide attempt?

[–]amezibra 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

you don't need...use ToM..

[–]cafecito820 7ポイント8ポイント  (6子コメント)

Thanks Esoterickk! I haven't had much luck with groups knowing wtf they're going, so I may give this a try this evening.

[–]Wxgba 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

What time zone? I would like to farm this evening, too. (GMT)

[–]cafecito820 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm in EST. Feel free to add me if you're on PSN (same username).

[–]Wxgba 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I sure am. I'll add you up, although I didn't have access to reddit last night so saw this late.

[–]esoterickk[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

No worries, and good luck!

[–]ElmStreetSleeps 1ポイント2ポイント  (4子コメント)

Great info. Annoying that you have to burn a synth each time though. There's an Eirene RR4 this week with shoot to loot but I don't think it's void.

[–]Reiisan 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Well, at least it's a method to burn through the 3 zillion* special ammo synth collected from farming wolves chests and running King's Fall.

  • = YMMV

[–]amezibra 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

you can have all the ammo you need by letting the vex accumulate at the boss encounter start (before the boss appear) then kill them with a super for a lot of heavy and special synth.. a dry run between a real one.. or use a shoot to loot primary.. (some old year1 green scout have it)

[–]esoterickk[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah it's a bit of a shame about needing to ammo synth, but it was the only way to consistently get ammo without having a shoot to loot. Have many to get rid of personally so it didn't bother me too much, but can see where it might for others.

[–]Sparcrypt 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah I'll let go of my explosive rounds shoot to loot scout rifle... never. Never ever.

That thing is so damn handy to have.

[–]_Spiralmind_ 1ポイント2ポイント  (4子コメント)

Thanks for posting this. I tried, unsuccessfully, the WoL strat with two groups last night. I might give this a go sometime later this week.

Hopefully I don't get Vex at the stairs...

[–]esoterickk[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good luck with it, and for the no Vex!

[–]mrlithid 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

PS4? I am looking to farm and can't find anyone that knows the strat or just not interested in farming. So I ended up doing this same thing, but running the strike over and over again not thinking I could farm it. I didn't mind running through it all though since it really only takes like 5-7 minutes to get to the boss. I also got a bunch of vanguard rep for it.

[–]Denroll 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

How did you get past the wall of Praetorians so fast?

[–]mrlithid 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

IMO the run is much better on the hunter, its tough without invisibility. You are able to jump up on ledges up above that area. I kill the main vex boss or whatever it is. Then through a series a jumps on top these ledges you can just jump over that wall. Invisibility is needed while making the jumps on top the ledges, then again when you jump down because they are full of adds on either side that will one shot you.

[–]easyparks9 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thanks! I know exactly what im going to be doing when i get off of work today!

[–]RuckusJammer 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I find the vortex grenade to be a little more inconsistent than a dragon's breath. So I crunched some numbers to see if this method was possible with dragons.

The method I've been using with a group is the 16 headshot method(with weapons). That's 933040 damage to prime him for a dragons rocket.

Using this solo method or even two man you would need x20 headshots and x4 body shots to do 933036(without weapons of light).

So if you prefer dragonsbreath, or don't have vortex, or don't want to bother with primary... There you go.

Still, GREAT work OP!

[–]ryno21 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

i'm been doing a lot of number crunching on this too. 933k is def the number you want to shoot for on damage to him, that primes him very nicely for the DB or nade.

[–]Bodhief 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Awesome blossom - thanks so much. Tried farming this with an LFG group this morning - failed more times than I could count so I resorted to doing the nightfall about 6 times with different LFG groups. Got 0 Loops and two ass rags. I've spent all my RNG on snipers. Pobre mio.

[–]nixmahn 1ポイント2ポイント  (6子コメント)

Is the imago loop worth the farm if I got lucky with decent drops for Finnela's Peril last IB and a great Vanity with firely?

[–]sc_slayerage 1ポイント2ポイント  (4子コメント)

Personal preference, but it is the best possible handcannon for pve if you do manage a great roll, and it can have reasonably strong pvp rolls too.

[–]Evo-L[🍰] 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

Whys it the best for PvE?

[–]sc_slayerage 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Highest impact per shot = best chance at one bullet kills on low level enemies that primaries are ideal for, firefly roll possibility is good for staggering enemies to reduce incoming fire, possibility of max range for a handcannon, and possibility for great reload speed so you don't have to helplessly reload as often as you might with other weapons. You need a perfect roll for it to be the best, but a good roll is still strong on account of high range / impact and firefly.

[–]AZengus 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Only if you want specific perks.

[–]cwspellowe 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thankfully I had one drop the other week from a strike with Explosive Rounds and Firefly. I don't feel the need to grind just for what I have plus a reload perk, my roll still does work and when there's small arms you feel like a year 1 god again.

I've farmed for a Loop before and the rolls I got were soul destroying. Good luck to anyone doing this still!

[–]d_is4dangerous[🍰] 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

Idk why but it still sees me when I'm invisible and kills me before I can get close

[–]esoterickk[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

That's strange, I haven't had that really happen before. The only thing I can think is you're getting hit by his shots from where he's firing before reaching him? Or is he slamming before you get to him and killing you while invis? Have done this several times and yet to have him slam me early while invis so not too sure what's happening there sorry!

[–]Thjorir 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

This was happening to me yesterday in a group farm with vanish up. I think like some other enemies he will fire in the last known direction of your guardian. He did prepare slam and kill me once before placing the grenade as well.

[–]portionsforfoxes 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It seems like he will slam if you go inside his shield while invis, the slam will kill you pretty far away so try just throwing the grenade from a bit farther out.

Will a 330 Hung Jury do the same damage as a 335? Don't have anything to infuse into my HJ right now.

[–]esoterickk[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think it will do a little less damage, but you should be okay with the minor difference anyway. There's some room for error on the Hung Jury shots that won't make too much difference overall.

[–]H4WK3Y35 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

[–]LordSlickRick 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why not spike grenade? seems like it would ensure a kill better.

[–]Certified HunterFiftyMedal6 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Can you farm it still if you've already completed it?

[–]ryno21 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

yes, you can run the nightfalls endlessly for strike specific drops. you will not get the weekly lockout nightfall rewards more than once per character, but the strike specific loot can keep dropping.

The hard part is not soloing the boss, it's actually getting to the boss solo. Great guide tho!

[–]chipsnsallsa 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Great guide! Unfortunately I can't take advantage of it OR the group strategy because every fucking sniper I ever get is goddamn Solar element.

[–]bladzalot 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have several void snipers but unfortunately I cannot take advantage of it because I keep getting fucking one shotted in the beginning of the strike :-)

[–]regdie 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

As someone who has done some solo farming of it over the past few days, have you noticed the games auto ammo collecting when youre low isnt working? Is this a nightfall thing? I dont remember ever having an issue with it before now.

[–]esoterickk[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I didn't really run out of ammo in this Nightfall yet so haven't had a chance to notice, but will keep an eye out for it.

[–]regdie 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Its at the point where I'm wishing I had a shoot to loot scout sometimes, lol..

[–]Tennovan 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I don't think it works when one of the modifiers is Juggler. I seem to recall that being a thing.

[–]regdie 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

That could definitely explain it. I tested it in patrol earlier and it definitely worked there, so it isn't broken.

[–]RhinocerosG 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have been solo farming this with a Titan using the method that everyone else is doing (15 crits, 2 bodies, 4 Hung Jury headshots). My Eirene (lol) has Triple Tap so I can get the 15 shots within 3 shield rotations.

[–]justacunninglinguist 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Why not use a rocket launcher to off the boss and then jump off the edge? Seems easier/less steps than jumping down > turning invisible > vortex grenade under.

[–]frenchhornhero 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

You need to die before the boss dies. The grenade does enough damage to kill you and the boss, but not so much that the boss dies too quickly to farm.

[–]RemyGee 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Can you just sniper kill the boss then use ToM to kill yourself before the loot screen comes up?

[–]SableCentaur 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

No, you have to die before the boss does or the strike will complete and you'll have to start over. To give a time frame, the boss needs to die after the "2" in the wipe countdown has disappeared.

What's the deal with people and imago loop? I've had one forever, gotten multiple drops, there's better options for handcannons for just about any encounter I can think of. Not a flame post just never understood the fascination with the faux fatebringer

[–]#MakeVexMythoclastGreatAgainZombieZer0 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's because, with the right roll, it's Fatebringer. But Y2. Only difference is no Arc. What rolls have you got?

[–]BigBabyDave 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I can't recall exact perks but I know I've gotten one with the fatebringer roll, firefly and the other one. Unfortunately my maxed out account was on my xboner and I sold that to get a ps4. Haven't had the stomach to start over again.

[–]hypebeastxgoga 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

he keeps walking out of our void grenade omg...

[–]theculturegoat 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

i was doing timed runs yesterday and it takes around 7 minutes for a run of the strike all the way through. I can see some wipes trying this method that may slow it down to not being worth it efficiency-wise.

[–]richo27 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Got one first try. Outlaw, braced frame, life support. Any good? No firefly.

[–]Peg_Leg_Pete 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thats pretty good I had no idea you could get up there or even cheese it that way. That's some gorgonzola or maybe even chedder cheese.

[–]Soulrakk 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Firefly alone is a huge PVE perk on this gun. If you manage to get one with it don't be so quick to shard it because it's not exactly a Fatebringer roll. I managed to get one with Last Resort, Braced Frame & Firefly and Firefly alone makes it a viable and awesome weapon for crowd management. It just feels so awesome on this type of gun. Always has. I'm still searching for one with at least a range perk & firefly. With a reload speed perk on gauntlets I can settle for that if I can't get the God roll.

[–]walktall 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It worked!!

Took a while to get the jumping down. Then had to get used to getting snipes off without getting flinched off of the crit spot. This got better with practice and learning the timing of his rotating shield.

I want to reinforce the importance of killing the hobgoblins. Not only can their nades kill you, but I learned that the splash damage from their nades can also damage the Mind. I once had the Mind die from 21 crit shots due to taking damage from adds as well.

I also had 100% success with going invis on the platform and then jumping down. It helps if you get him to spot you on a different part of the ledge first. Of course this works best when he is at his starting spot.

[–]frenchhornhero 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

Does the method change if you don't get the Taken version?

[–]esoterickk[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Nope exactly the same. In here I didn't have the Taken version. The only difference is the amount of enemies you have to clear before the boss fight starts.

[–]frenchhornhero 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Gotcha. I ask because I rage quit at the precursors. Oh well, I'll give it another go.

[–]esoterickk[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

All good. A little tip for the precursors is that you can skip them entirely with a sword or enough momentum from Titan skating. If you get to the barrier you can 3-sword swing through it to the other side (just using R1 swings), then run around the corner up the hill and snipe the Cyclops safely. Good luck!

[–]fourmthree 0ポイント1ポイント  (5子コメント)

Here's a question for you all. I've had my Imago Loop for ages and the roll is:

Triple Tap, Small Bore, Firefly.

Keep?

[–]Kil13rPanda 3ポイント4ポイント  (4子コメント)

Yes

[–]fourmthree 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

To be honest, I knew the answer to this. I just wanted to let everyone know, modestly, that I had it.

[–]dandpher 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Any chance someone could post a pic of the boss's health bar before the kill?

Its a smidgit. You can't really know by the health bar. Its exactly the numbers said above. Only way to know for sure.
