The only real hurdle I had during this was Explicator and inconsistencies with DPS phases on this loadout. For the every run I'd have one of three issues occur: him immediately taking a plate at the start of DPS, Dragon's Breath simply not working (despite hitting the boss), or the same with the Throwing Knife just doing nothing. All of which would throw off my rotation completely and essentially ruin an entire DPS phase.
The first I was told how to remedy in the comments, that it was caused by having the DPS phase going on for too long and breaking the threshold on the third plate, which often causes it to bug out the next DPS phase. My strategy originally involved waiting for Release Recover to proc, but that'd prolong the phase and cause that issue.
The second two were problems I still don't know the exact cause of, but ultimately I found a way around it. I'd start a DPS phase, immediately shoot Dragon's Breath and throw the melee straight after. When doing this, more often than not the Dragon's Breath either wouldn't ignite, it wouldn't deal damage at all, or the Throwing Knife would completely ignore the boss and do no damage (along with no debuff or Radiant proc). I went back and checked the footage multiple times, watching the Dragon's Breath and Throwing Knife hit the boss directly, or just phase right through him and do absolutely nothing both times. That'd usually be enough to either not break threshold on the first plate, or cause Dragon's Breath to have barely any stacks later on.
To fix this, all I did was wait a little bit between shooting the Dragon's Breath and throwing the Throwing Knife. As soon as I did that, I got the clear on that run and didn't have those issues. I don't know if there was a reason it would happen, or just an interaction I didn't understand, but that seemed to fix it.
Outside of that, this is quite simple to do, especially so this season and many people having done this already. There's probably faster ways to do nearly everything in this, but I just went about the transitions with my own basic approach.
I'm happy to have it finally out of the way anyway, as I kept putting this on the backburner simply due to not liking the raid. Not sure when or if I'll do other classes, but it's a long season so I'm sure I'll probably get bored enough at some point.

Y'all might think that opening dialogue is by Nezzy, its not. Its Eso announcing his arrival here
-
I think the most shocking thing of this run, is finding out that you still have red borders to acquire from RoN
-
Give this man the key to bungie
-
getting Conditional, the Rufus pattern, and the flawless shader was the icing on the cake
-
After all these years you still find ways to amaze the community and surpass yourself. You’re insane
-
Love the rapid head shakes when things don't go as planned like almost falling to your death because of a collision or some big enemy blocking your way. I feel that.

Bro is the main character, we’re the other guardians
-
Love this video Eso! Lol I like the raid and knowing some quick skips to the next encounters is awesome!
-
At this point I think Bungie delayed the final shape because they still dont figure out how to overbuff the witness to deal with Eso
-
haven't come across your vids in a while Eso, just saw this on homepage had to show some love, keep being the goat!
-
Makes everything look so easy. Always impressive my man.
-
- SOLO OPERATIVE - Artifact Perk needs to be on every Artifacts. Great Work.
-
I'm loving the no-Merciless run, I never wanted to try this bc I didn't really feel comfortable with merciless, and now that you've shown me that it's possible without it, I might actually try it!
-
I stopped playing this a while ago, but it’s crazy that this dude is STILL grinding away. He is Destiny
-
Phenominal. This was afantasic watch. If I could wellskate properly I'd be having a go at this myself this season
-
You just earned my sub. Neever see myself doing this. Genuinely bravo
-
Gg nicely done. I like the simplified damage strats. Way less reliant on heavy ammo drops.
-
Congratulations! I always knew you could do it!
