Project Nemesis - Solo

[Symbiont]

This raid was probably the most fun I've had trying to solo of the lot; while Baba and Strahd are more tests of patience, this raid was much more mechanically demanding in the sense that each circumstance forces you to approach every aspect of the raid much more differently than you normally would. As you are solely subject to effects that are meant to challenge certain parts of an entire group at once, being able to proceed to each subsequent part of the raid was extremely difficult. As imaginable, it took quite a few attempts to finally accomplish this, and after at least several strokes, here it is:

Of special note, swapping to-and-from different weapons during the raid was very irritating. Pressing the relative hotkeys to swap a weapon took an incredibly long time to actually pull out the weapon, and in the middle of combat (basically always), the game would not listen to me despite my pressing of the buttons multiple times. So, affirmation and vacuum/dust swaps were used incredibly sparingly.

EDIT: Re-uploaded video for HD quality

You have a very prominent stress-junkie gene somewhere.

Gz for completion.

Cheers,

PS: What's with the crappy quality?

Gratz. I was wondering when you would do this! :) Being out of the main area while the constuctors attempt to finish the puzzle must have been really hard. How much time do you have to get back and stop them before raid fails? And with the cumulative progress towards failure, what with the locks getting removed, there isn't a lot a room for error.


There is a known bug with swapping sentient weapons that causes lag, I think. Hopefully it gets fixed.

Thanks! I'm honestly not sure what's happening with the video quality. I recorded in 1440p, but YouTube didn't seem to want to put anything higher than 360p up there. It may be because I was streaming my screen in discord as I was recording, but I don't know. I'm going to mess with it and see if I can't figure it out.

Wow! Amazing.

nice job! Not sure if this applies, but I always find that only low qualities are available when I first upload a vid. Higher quality options become available within an hour of upload.

[Micki]

Yes, I started uploading my videos as private until the full quality is available for that reason.

Forgot, Nice job Symbiont :)

[ChadB123]

Awesome job! Congrats dude.

There actually was considerably more time that can be spent in batteries than I was expecting. The constructors were spawning heavily at first, but I'm starting to wonder if their spawn rate correlates with some degree to certain boss abilities in the quest. I found that whenever I got chained, constructor spawns usually followed close behind. After removing Gish and Rudus from the fight, they seemed to only be spawning around once every two minutes. I also un-solved a few puzzles a bit excessively to force the constructors to take more time before entering a few of the batteries, and I would enter a node the moment I finished killing a wave of constructors to give myself as much time as possible. In spite of all of the precaution, I was beating the constructors back every time. I'd imagine that you can spend at most four minutes inside of any singular battery before you are in danger of wiping, which is well more than what was needed.

This was what I was thinking at first, although YouTube usually will indicate that it may take a while to process higher qualities. The video was up for nearly twenty-four hours without a change in quality, and YouTube didn't specify anything in the sense that it was still processing. Normally, it's only a few hours with a file that size, so I figured that I might as well re-upload it, which did the trick.

Thanks to everyone for all the support!

Weapon swaps on inquisitive are particularly annoying with multiple things going on in the instance. Swapping between affirmation and HS is about all I do when I need the extra HP buffer. Ill swap to activate UD entering a fight, but that's about it. With others in a group, frequent swaps with HS tends to cause severe lag for some reason.

Awesome achievement, great player skills. You're pushing the boundaries of what's achievable in this game.

Edit: nvm ;-)
