The world\u2019s first solo run through the Gatekeepers encounter, within the Vault of Glass raid, was completed by TheSnazzzyRock on Jan 21. Destiny 2 raids are normally done with a six-man team as the encounters typically throw countless enemies toward you, usually causing squads to split up in order to complete objectives. Many other videos on YouTube have covered the Vault of Glass raid soloing abilities, but not through the Gatekeepers encounter. Well, until now. Destiny 2 player completes world\u2019s first solo Gatekeepers run In the video, you can see how quickly TheSnazzzyRock needs to be to keep all of this going as a solo. The occasional \u201cplease kill the minotaur\u201d shows how things can go south at any moment. It is an amazing feat for one to pull off and as the content creator put in their description, roughly 200 hours later, he is the first person in the world to do it. The achievement has since been described as an impossible one to pull off, by Jake Lucky. In the comments, another wrote: \u201cAbsolutely insane. Huge W.\u201d A third said: \u201cThe commentary and his reaction make it so much better.\u201d Destiny 2 Gatekeepers Encounter explained This encounter is the final part of the Vault of Glass raid \u2013 arguably the more challenging one to perform solo \u2013 as you must defend two portals while destroying the first gatekeeper to get the relic shield. There are two phases that introduce players to the portals, leading toward different locations that are known as Venus and Mars. For a six-man team, the first phase of the encounter would go something like this: Phase one: Two players need to immediately stand on and defend both plates to activate the corresponding portal. Meanwhile, the rest of the group will need to fight the first gatekeeper to get the Relic shield &#8211; One player will pick up the Relic, while another two go through the portals to defend the confluxes coming from the Vex. The remaining player will stay in the throne room to help defend the plates against any gatekeepers that appear &#8211; A Praetorian Minotaur will spawn at one of the portals. The player with the Relic needs to go through the right portal and use the relic to destroy the Praetorian before it sacrifices itself at the conflux &#8211; That player will then drop the Relic so another can go back through the portal into the throne room &#8211; Another portal opens and the current holder of the Relic must go through that and destroy the Praetorian that is trying to sacrifice itself in that one &#8211; Six praetorians in total need to be destroyed before phase two begins &#8211; Reminder: That is with six people working together. Phase two: All players need to head towards the new conflux that will spawn in the central area of the throne room and defend against the incoming Vex &#8211; Three more Praetorian Minotaurs will spawn and can only be destroyed by the Relic holder &#8211; After the Minotaurs, three Wyvrens will spawn and need to be taken out &#8211; Once all that is done, the conflux will disappear and a loot chest will open nearby &#8211; To complete this as a team is a feat in itself, defending two separate portals with enemies charging towards them (if they reach them, you lose), constantly switching the Relic to the next person to keep progress through the encounter, and simply surviving the number of enemies being thrown your way. To do all of that solo is entirely something else. The knowledge of understanding where the enemies are coming from, where you need to go next, how many shots you need to finish off certain targets, and doing it all in one go without your heart beating out of your chest is difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 fan pulls off \u201cimpossible\u201d with world\u2019s first solo Gatekeepers run BungieA YouTuber has blown everybody away after completing the Gatekeepers encounter in Destiny 2 entirely solo.
