First off, pardon my excitement at the end. I would not categorize this under one of the most difficult solo challenges ever, as it doesn't really require too much focus or high levels of skill. However, the BULLSHIT that you have to put up with is INSANE. That's why I was so Gladd that it was over.

What bullshit, you ask? Freaking Gjallarhorn. Bungie's nerf to Ghorn's Wolfpack Rounds really screwed up the gun... badly. In year 1, Ghorn could consistently take Crota down in 2 rockets. Now? Don't even trust it at all. The Wolfpack Rounds literally have a success rate of like 33%. Sooooo many wipes were due to Crota's shield not going down after 2 rockets PLUS a burning knife or grenade. It actually became ridiculous to the point where I almost gave up. Like I said, execution-wise - easy/medium; RNG/luck - 11/10.

The best solution that I found was to fully ADS with Ghorn and wait for a few of the "tracking beeps" to occur before firing. This seemed to increase the Wolfpack rate by a marginal percentage.

How is a 2 sword possible? It's possible in the same way that a 1 sword 390 solo is possible: the enrage Oversoul cancelling previous ones. This idea arose to me almost immediately after my 1 sword solo; previously, I thought a 2 sword Hunter solo to be VERY unlikely. Since Ghorn's inconsistency doesn't easily allow for 4 hits every down, you are forced to go beyond 4 downs. This means 2 downs on the first sword and 3 downs on the second sword. The idea is to enrage him on the second down on the second sword. This forces the enrage Oversoul, which cancels all previous ones. Then it's simply getting the killing blows.

Honestly, I do not recommend attempting this lol. It's just a headache packed with frustration migraines. I do, however, recommend the 1 sword solo. The difficulty of the 1 sword is 9.5/10, but it's way less RNG based and loads of fun to attempt.

Welp, I think this officially closes out all of my 390 Crota solo challenges. There really isn't much else to do with the fight. A no guns solo just isn't possible unfortunately (due to the Oversoul).

Hope you all enjoy the painfully hard work I put into this one haha.

Take care,

Gladd
