Solo'd Shattered Throne and Wife's Response

Misc

So, last week, I made my go at soloing Shattered Throne as it seemed a good time. And after two hours, YES! Dul Incaru was eliminated! I pump my fist and jump up shouting. My wife asks what's going on? I tell her I just completed one of the more impossible tasks in Destiny. What do you get? she asks. Oh this emblem, I say. She's says 'uh-huh....' and goes back to watching her cat videos (or whatever it was she was doing).

Today, I get an email at lunch. In it she says: Was thinking of getting you a victory gift. What do you think?

Link to victory gift

​

A) Wives will mock incessantly if they can. B) I kind of want it.

​

EDIT: Thanks for the silver kind stranger!

EDIT 2: So, they have a copyright disclaimer on the order. My wife just grabbed the screenshot from light.gg's database (having no idea what any of this was until she found it). Now I know it's a genuine gift! But didn't place the order because don't know if I can! Sorry guys!

I quickly read this as “Guys, I got DP’d!” and thought, “Wrong Reddit, friend.”

Says you. We could use some of that variety around these parts lately lol

I tried for 2 hours to solo Vorgath yesterday. Figured it was my best chance with revelery buff, it was an exercise in pain and i failed which in the end only made me realize how bad i am at this game. Glad a guardian somewhere got it done though.

5
JeffD334•

It’s def doable, dude. I got it with my arcstrider hunter running way of the warrior with raiden flux. The melee buff from combination blow plus raiden flux melts bosses. Both Vorgath and Dul Incaru were basically named yellow bar adds with this setup. Plus, every time you proc combination blow, you also regen health.

5
RushDynamite•

I'll give it a shot with that setup for sure, thanks for the info!

I gave up at last boss. Took me countless tries over two days to beat the ogre. Huge rush of dopamine. If you want to non solo the end hit me up. I’ll run it with you. Sucked to lose my checkpoint at incaru, but i want that damn emblem and the ability to smash crystals in ascendant plane. GT = PastyG_76. My wife and i bought two PlayStations to play this together but there’s a six month old in the house now, so...slim chance but she could be third.

EDIT: i run hunter with invisible dodge. Have no idea how anyone has the patience and reflexes to do last fight while visible O_O

Corybball42•

Patience is the key...I did it fairly easily with an ability tonic and invis. You can have invisibility at all times and even though it was slow, took 3 phases to finish off vorgeth, I never had to worry about being shot for the most part.

1
biohazard_cat•

For the last fight, I also use infinite invis dodge (thank you tonic!) + Orpheus Rig. If you get a good tether, you can tether all 3 knights + the psions to get your super straight back and I just damage them with grenades then go invis when Dul starts shooting. The 3 knights should die pretty close to each other with the damage sharing from the tether. Only pick up the buff orbs dropped by the knights when all 3 are dead and with that, you should be able to kill Dul quite easily in 1 cycle with Whisper (each shot deals 999999 damage)

ZachPlum•

Same here, was just using divine blessings as a crutch to make runs between cover so I could lower the wizards and kill the adds and not have to worry about time between killing them as much when I was ready to do them. But after 4 hours and only getting to damage phase 10 times I gave up :( I’ll just wait for the next balance patch or whatever and try to get in on an OP weapon or some other event or something

1
Corybball42•

I used the ability tonic on invis hunter to do it lol. After vorgerh, you can literally run past everything on the way to dul incaru. I would have had the flawless too, if I hadn't killed myself at vorgerh with a ward cliff shot. Biggest fail ever.

What character were you using? I did it on a Titan myself this last weekend using hammerhead/go figure and telesto.

definitely do-able!! just keep at it.

what was your loadout? it's important to make sure you have the correct mods on your weapons too. boss spec or the taken ones.

I do, as often as possible with a three year old! She is the best and has no interest in Destiny, but she likes to create (semi-sarcastic?) gifts when I think I've achieved something!

My wife was similarly unenthused when I unlocked Luna's Howl, until I had her read the lore card. Dogs = points.

Her disappointment was then magnified when she found out I didn't get to see the dog anywhere in game. I showed her some of the cabal war hounds and it didn't help.

OKLISTENHERE:V: Vanguard's Loyal // Y'all just fear the Praxic Fire•

That's when you show her the dog emote so you can pretend you didn't waste your money.

Is the dog emote one of the ones you could only get through silver packages?

Think she'd be interested in getting some "enhanced" perks? Giggity.

Sorry chief, I think she's Exotic. Women like her are a rarity I'm sure. Can't say she's a purple with how often we get those in game. Then again, I've never seen a woman.

I must admit I was wondering what a woman was...or the outside

But bruh that sense of achievement!!!

LOL my wife runs around the house saying "heavy ammo inbound" (Shaxx from D1) all the time. She has no interest in the game but allows me to be a big kid and will watch while shopping on her tablet. Oh she hates the Drifter. LOL

42

She heard 'alright, alright, alright' and asked me "who's the knockoff Matthew McConaughey?" Just about lost it on that one....

I don't think I've gotten it yet. IT might have been testing to see if I want it, or mocking. I'm not sure. Either way, I think I'm gonna get it.

We'll print it for free. You drove a ton of traffic to our site from this post. Sent you a message!

Oh yea I'll take the mocking I want it 😂

ryanedw•

The teasing comes with the ring. The T-shirt is extra.

Hey anybody out there tried soloing the Thorn strike with a tonic?

16
ItsGradivusSpace-y Ghost•

I think Hunter with class ability tonic and top tree nightstalker would do fine

10
fatdaddy109•

I did solo it through halfway through the final boss... was pretty easy with wormhusk and tonics... but clan mate hopped into my game and finished it with me

3
ryanedw•

I saw speculation that bottom tree Stormcaller with class tonic might be pretty good too, after the buff to Li’l Shocky

But I’d been scared away by the lack of a true cheese spot.

Back in D1Y1 the Phogoth antechamber with that damn shrieker was my Thorn solo velveeta, back when Sunsinger cheese reigned supreme

1
Nekoraven1•

Lol I will never mock..lol both me and bf play Destiny..I'd say get the shirt!

JBaeckerOP:V: Vanguard's Loyal•

Only reason I say that is because of the word 'stupid.' It is stupid, but I find it fun. Just placed the order.

I'm kind of with her on this one:

Choosing between soloing ST and looking at cats, I'll take the cats anyday.

Lock down that godrolled wifey and everytime DIM accidentally unlocks, lock it down again! You just won the endgame, sir.

More like this, Am I right?

Easy to solo with tonic activated.

Did you explain to her the effect the Revelry added?

Maybe adding "during the Revelry" to the shirt would add value. XD

Awesome!! Good work!

Back in D1 the grind to the light house was brutal. (I eventually got carried lol) I told my girlfriend how excited I was to get to “the lighthouse” and now if I tell her ANY accomplishment in D2, the default comment is always “did you make it to the lighthouse?!”
