A video game feat that is borderline impossible has just been accomplished.
Destiny's raid bosses are tough enough when you've got a fully-functional fireteam at your side. The thought of beating one by yourself is just ridiculous.
Ridiculous, then, is the word we'll use to describe YouTuber ScaRdrow's recent solo defeat of Wrath of the Machin's final boss, Aksis.
After uploading the proof of his accomplishment, ScaRdrow took to the Destiny subreddit to answer questions regarding how he beat the fearsome Aksis. Describing the run as "the hardest thing I have ever attempted in Destiny," ScaRdrow went on to detail the exact character build he used to best on one of the game's greatest challenges all by himself. While his impressively stated light level 399 Warlock class had the assistance of some of the game's best equipment, the devil was is in the details of his strategy.
For instance, dealing the fatal blow to Aksis required "as much damage as was possible each round." ScaRdrow was so desperate for damage, in fact, that he recalls taking the advice of one of his stream viewers and dealing melee damage to the opposing final boss while also shooting him just to maximize his effort.
In order to fully appreciate how complicated this run is, it's best to watch a full-team run of the raid and spot the instances that are specifically designed to accommodate multiple players. Moments such as the mob of minions that must be defeated in order to gain access to the cannons that are capable fo killing the final boss are impossible for most Destiny players to imagine completing solo.
It's worth mentioning that another Destiny player, sc_slayerage, has since completed the latest Destiny raid by themselves. They also confirm that the solo raid is undoubtedly the hardest thing that anyone playing Destiny can task themselves with.
