How You Can Solo Destiny’s Nightfall Strike For This Week: Face the Fury of the Hive on Your Own

This week’s nightfall strike in Destiny is The Summoning Pits on the Moon. Some will tell you that it requires three brave Guardians to complete, but it can actually be done solo with the right preparation and careful approach.

hmm.. I am level 28. I have that exact same Sniper rifle (although mine is maxxed out at 300 damage) along with the Ice Breaker Sniper Rifle (max damage). I am also a Warlock so as long as my Super is charged I have a free resurrection.

I might actually give this a go and just take it very slow.

Abriael3898d ago

I would not use the ice breaker, because its damage on the nightfall is quite low. The Queen's sniper has limited ammo, but will one/bishot most stuff.

Neonridr3898d ago

Thanks for the tip Abriael - I will bring both then. I can use Icebreaker for all the regular minions and save my Ammo Packs for when I need to use Supremacy. I don't have an exotic machine gun, but I think I can manage ok with my legendary rocket launcher if things get really messy.

Shame the video ended early, I wanted to see what rewards he/she got.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3897d ago

...? What, use the icebreaker to regain ammo. That way you never have to go look for special ammo

joab7773898d ago (Edited 3898d ago )

I did it with my 30 lock but tried w 28 hunter and died. Will try again.i have the plan c fusion rifle and and arc rocket launcher.

--Onilink--3898d ago

i did it with a 29 hunter, Hawkmoon, Rare Arc Sniper and Legendary Arc Rocket Launcher.

My advise, sniper for knights (reds are one shot, yellows 2) and use rocket launcher for Wizards (even yellows will go in 1 shot)

I did notice that when you play with more people, enemies have a higher defense(or you do less damage). So actually solo might even be easier if you take it easy and know where to hide back (1st part, go back to the stair and even all the way to the previous room for phase 3. And stay in the entrance room for phogot and step back when the shrieker appears)

Neonridr3898d ago

bah.. none of my weapons do arc damage (minus a shotgun). I solo'd the Weekly on hard using this strategy, so that was nice at least.

I wasn't about to drop 150 marks on an Arc Sniper Rifle when I have 2 fully upgraded Snipers already (although both do Solar Damage).

sp0tlessmind3898d ago

Wow this guy is cutting through those Knights like swiss cheese! I need that heavy gun!

Abriael3898d ago

Any arc based machine gun decently upgraded will do that :D

WildArmed3898d ago

Not bad, though you can't nearly be as liberal when taking damage if your anything but a titan. With my titan, I just ran past the first part, did the three waves, ran past the next 2 parts, and then boss.

He was 27 at the time (since I'm leveling his new exotic armor). Cool never the less, I used a fusion rifle + machine gun though. Both work great as long as they are void, dual magnetic grenades make quick work of the shield for wizards, so your fusion / machine gun can do it's work (arc ones that is).

Though, I bet striker would have been a better choice since it does do arc damage. Oh well, done for this week. Not touching that again :O

Palitera3898d ago

Sunsinger is the most fail proof class. Auto revive with good intellect lets you solo nightfall strikes easily.

WildArmed3898d ago

That's true. I am really liking the sun-singer class, but I still prefer defender for soloing harder missions

jackanderson19853898d ago (Edited 3898d ago )

I'm level 24 and managed to solo this. There's a bunch of rocks closer to the middle. Stand in the right spot and the monster thingy will stand just exposed enough that you can fire freely at him with no shots being fired at you. Some guards pop up but they're easily disposed off. Bit of a grind but easiLy done

The spot in question is near the end of the middle platforms at the last pillar. Handy spot

Neonridr3898d ago

how could you even do any damage at level 24 when the guys are 28? I was pretty sure that this wasn't even available to me at Level 24. I thought they don't open up until you are within 2 levels of its requirements.

jackanderson19853898d ago (Edited 3898d ago )

Might be thinking of the heroic/weekly one so. I'll check once I'm home but 100% sure it's this level I've done it on.

Doesn't change the fact there is indeed a spot just ahead of where dual shockers are standing that immobilises the beast and allows free shots with no repercussions

KwietStorm_BLM3898d ago

The weekly strike and the nightfall are the same strike. You might have done the weekly.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast296d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole296d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_296d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981296d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140296d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85296d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj296d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman296d ago (Edited 296d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake296d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn296d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg296d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07295d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom296d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac295d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake296d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark295d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde295d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125295d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
