Destiny 2 Season of the Deep - Solo Wicked Implement Exotic Quest Completion (Deep Dives Statues & Broken Blades Quest) / Solo Exotic Scout Rifle Quest. Just a quick video showing a solo completion of the Wicked Implement exotic quest that became available in Deep Dives today. Details below.

An actually challenging solo encounter, which was a very nice surprise! Unfortunately it came at a time where I haven't been playing much at all, so the gameplay isn't the best - but I still managed to work out a nice approach which should be helpful for most to use.

If you're near the area at the entrance the boss doesn't push or move as much, so you can DPS pretty freely while playing solo. The boss launched me there one time, so it was a happy accidental find. The usual Synthoceps and Hammer build to deal with everything else, and using Forerunner as it's great for dealing with Tormentor enemies, easy to aim with lots of ammo, which is commonly used for the first encounter in Root of Nightmares.

I was originally running double special, but found I ran into ammo problems more often than not. Having one special and one primary worked well, as you weren't splitting the bricks when picking them up, and it lets you stagger the Phalanxes a bit better. I also tested Loreley, Lament & Double Slugs to begin with... that was terrible.

I personally had a lot of fun with this anyway, and I'm sure with time it'll become easier as approaches are learned. The only downside is that it was tied to fishing, but outside of that I'm pretty happy with Deep Dives as a whole.

Builds are shown at the end of the video. I'll have a collectibles guide up shortly too. I'll post the final 2 GMs later today / tomorrow. Along with a "week 7 story" (even though the finale already happened, there's still some extra dialogue this week).
