Solo Pleasure Gardens "Dogs" Encounter (Leviathan Raid)
1,127Destiny 2 The Revelry - Solo Dogs Encounter / Solo Pleasure Gardens Encounter in the Leviathan Raid. Technically not a true solo as you're unable to start the encounter without an extra person, but this is as close as you can possibly get. Defeating all 6 of the dogs solo without any spores or buffs, or assistance from other players outside of starting the encounter. Details below.

You can vote for the Nightfall and what weapon types to run, as well as negative modifiers and I'll post it after the weekend with the most voted for loadout. I'll run 2 of the most voted for negative modifiers as well.
So this was something that I wanted to do since the start of The Revelry, just never got around to getting a checkpoint until now. It's only possible during the event due to the grenade recharge and the crazy amount of damage Scatter Grenades do to each dog. Coupled with the buff to Nova Bomb (and Skull of Dire Ahamkara), it ends up making this a very easy encounter to solo.
This was my first ever dogs solo or low-man challenge I've done, and haven't done this raid in a long time now. Took a couple of attempts to learn the pathing of the dogs (yes, it's been that long) and what order to approach them in. But this ended up working out pretty nicely anyway and ended up getting a clear very quickly.
Unfortunately there's no way to start the encounter without a second person picking up the other Prism, so I had to have my girlfriend's account pick that up and then go hide in the back doing nothing else the entire time. So while not a "true" solo, this is about as close as you get - and if it means anything, I was actually controlling both of the accounts. Credit to her for letting me use her account and have her killed a few times while learning this lol.
Full credit to Millax who was the first to do it, and was nice enough to give me his checkpoint for this encounter as well. His video can be found here, I'd recommend checking him out as he's a very skilled player! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP9BrbpMjEc
My PC setup is nothing too crazy at all, but the specs are:
i7-8700, GTX 1070, 16GB DDR4-3000 Ram, 256GB SSD, 2TB HDD.
Allows me to run max settings at constant 60FPS while recording. Which is about all I need for now :)
