I know this is old and done to death, but it feels fantastic to have done it myself. Using my Hunter (of course), I managed to solo the Abyss section of Crota's End!

I had been working on it for at least 2 months--my Warlock could never cut it, the fat bastard...

So I had to beef up my Hunter like CRAZY. Every single training ability that could increase my agility, I chose and stuck with until it was maxed ALL the way out. And on top of that, I equipped myself with the MIDA Multi-Tool. On top of that, I switched Field Scout with Lightweight, so I could run even FASTER. But I still had a lot of work to do. With Bladedancer(Stalker, Shadowjack, Escape Artist) and Don't Touch Me(not quite fully completed), I was only a 30, meaning Cursed Thrall could still 1-shot me. And every corner I turned, there they were! Even jumping over them wouldn't help. Speaking of jumping--I can't even tell you how many times I jumped--either fleeing or leading--and literally finding myself unable to land, floating stuck in a literal sea of Thrall!

I always, always, ALWAYS took the wrong turn at Lamp 13, and ended up dropping down to x9 or 10, and having to account for that screw-up by crouching at 14 and screaming "WHY AREN'T I TURNING INVISIBLE!!"

So when I finally got to 15, I jump on that rock, and try to switch back to Patience and Time--nope. I usually end up dead, somehow--I'm guessing by the Ogre. I eventually got to the end last night, and got ready to kill said Ogre with my sniper--only to find out there's only three bullets in the entire weapon. I had to hide, and most of the time I was followed while invisible to my death. But I got lucky last night, and when the bridge activated, I ran like all hell. When I finally got my reward--a Dogged Gage!--I turned around, and popped Thrall coming my way until Special Ammo popped up, grabbed it and killed the Ogres from a long distance. Did you know the Knights follow you all the way up, too? Heh.

I managed to finally kill them all, and achieved my dream--exploring the Abyss as a whole. No Weight of Darkness, no quadrillions of Thrall, brightness at 7, and nothing to worry about. It. Was. Incredible. I had no idea how small the place really was. I know, the 3D map and such, but I had no idea that it was just this tiny. I mean, from the final plate, you can actually see the torches of Light!

I don't have any video of this unfortunately, I didn't expect to get on my first try. However, I did decide to snap the most inspirational screenshot I could think of.

Very proud moment for me.
