Well, here's another clear. This is the 4th time I've done this encounter and now I can confidently say that the strats shown in this video should be future proof. This run uses the updated version of Salvation's Grip as well as the 2 phase strats.

In this run I had a 1/6 chance of guessing the correct fuses because I managed to break 3 fuses in the first damage phase. If you only manage to break 2 fuses, you can still continue with the run but you'll need to guess the final 4 fuses instead of the final 3. This is still fine though and will only change your RNG to a 1/24, which is previously what did here.

If you're familiar with this encounter and the strats used, you'll see that this version of the solo is very consistent and is similar to how we used to do it. The only difference now is our Salvation's Grip lineups to damage the fuses from below. All of the other strats are unchanged from previous iterations. If you'd like to see a clear that is very similar to this one but 3 phases instead, check out my Solo Crypt Security in Season of the Haunted video uploaded in May of 2023. All you need to do on 3rd phase is check all the panels with your shotgun while building another Chaos Reach. If you do this properly and provided you have ammo, you should always be good. I prefer to always force the 2 phase and if I can't get 3 fuses, I'll just go for the 3 phase.

Another notable thing is that you can actually push Scanner back downstairs for the second phase too. If you have enough Salvation's Grip ammo to do this, you can technically push him down there again and repeat what you did on the first phase, keeping him frozen and checking panels. Technically this is possible and would remove almost all the RNG from the encounter. The only immediate issue with this idea is that if you commit to it and fail, there's no way to continue a run. You also need decent fuse RNG for damage. If the fuses are LL then DR then LM for example, it's probably not possible to do this idea. Just figured I'd throw that idea here in case anyone was curious.
