We've seen dozens of players seemingly accomplish the impossible in Destiny. From finishing the boss of the Vault of Glass raid in 17 seconds to finishing Crota's End without firing a bullet at all, Destiny players are always looking for the next big challenge.
Those challenges don't come any bigger than finishing Crota's End on the highest difficulty, all by yourself. It sounds nearly impossible, but one Destiny player managed to do just that recently and posted the video to prove it.
The person responsible for the Herculean feat is sc Slayerage, playing on the account of a friend and uploading the YouTube under the account The Legend Himself. After clearing the beginning portion of the raid on a Hunter, sc Slayerage swaps to a Sunsinger Warlock and then begins the battle of his life.
Watching Slayerage go through the raid is almost mesmerizing. Every movement has a very specific purpose, and luck isn't a factor, as sc Slayerage explains in a lengthy post accompanying the video.
"There was much less 'luck' in this run than it may seem," sc Slayerage writes. "First of all, this took dozens of hours to perfect and accomplish. Secondly, most of the seemingly random aspects of the Crota fight can be influenced in some way by careful gameplay. There isn't a single thing I do in the Crota fight that isn't deliberate in some way, and oftentimes the right move had to be made within a matter of seconds. I believe that with perfect gameplay this could be recreated at least once an hour - the fight is relatively consistent, just extremely hard."
But it doesn't only take dozens of hours perfecting a strategy -- it also takes all the necessary gear.
"This run was insanely difficult," scSlayerage writes. "At the moment I don't know if it could be completed with a character anything short of level 32 Sunsinger Warlock with Starfire Protocol, Gjallarhorn, Ice Breaker, Red Death, Black Hammer, and a weapon with surplus."
Sorry to all you Hunters and Titans out there. Sc Slayerage is convinced Warlocks are the most powerful class in the game and the only ones capable of pulling off such a feat. That doesn't mean sc Slayerage has to like it, however. The player refuses to make a warlock, hence why they were playing on a friend's account.
"I had to play on my friend's account (The Arpacan) in order to do this because I don't have any filthy Warlocks on my own tag, and I like it that way," sc Slayerage writes. "While they are uniquely capable of soloing Heroic Crota as far as I can tell, I do not like anything about their abilities. I genuinely believe they are OP in both PvE and PvP, though much moreso in PvE."
Looks like the gauntlet has been thrown down. Titans, it is time to gear up and prove sc Slayerage wrong. Crota isn't so tough, right?
