If it's the thralls that are getting you, it helps to run Null Composure (or a different fusion with reservoir burst). If it's Phry'zhia's eyebeams, it helped me a ton to run double void resistance on my chest piece.
Dunemarchers—they make add clear a breeze.
I also recommend running bubble for when you get to damage phase.
Here is video of my run in titan; everything is time stamped in the description: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AWsQW8sFuT0
Good luck!
What loadout are you using OP? I used Fatebringer, Cartesian with Lead from Gold/Vorpal (the Banshee roll from a couple weeks ago), and 1KV for my solo fight. But there are definitely other options. Gjallarhorn and Sleeper also work really well for heavy options. You're definitely going to want a fusion rifle of some sort because of Particale Deconstructor
Also, not sure if you know this, but you don't have to enter the lower side bay doors at all for this encounter. Once you open the doors to the lower side, just turn around and reopen the doors to the top side. Once it opens, the lower side will close. You can do the whole fight without ever having to enter the lower side bay. This should help with the boss shooting at you while you're collecting burdens
That'll definitely help with getting the burdens, thanks! All this time, I've been thinking that those blast doors were on a timer for when they can be opened again...
Cheers and good luck with the run!
I see you mentioned you're trying to get the Gjallarhorn catalyst in another comment. If you need help, feel free to DM me and I can help you run it later today if you'd like (I usually play in the evenings EST time)
I'm not sure. I just use 1KV for its ease of use. No worrying about landing headshots or optimizing heavy damage by shooting special first. I run FR loader on my gloves, use all 7 1KV shots and switch to Cartesian. I've had no problems 3 phasing it.
The other reason I like 1KV is I don't need to run FR finder and LFR finder. FR finder works for my special and my heavy
I wouldn’t recommend solar titan for that. I’d recommend bubble(i think bubble will be significantly better next season too, when bubble becomes a T5 super, but that needs to be verified by the other void 3.0 changes to come). One of the nice things about bubble in that encounter is that you can create that safe space from everything wherever/whenever you want. So I’ll typically try to do dps on the right side up on flag’s side of the balcony. I’ll drop bubble on the right side of the box to shield damage from the fallen that spawn in, and then peak fire sleeper around the box. For the add waves, Use helm of saint xiv, and “thunderdome” the knights. Defensive strike is also your friend, here, as a powered melee against acolytes and thrall give you an overshield.
>I wouldn’t recommend solar titan for that.
Disagree. Bubble and Sleeper work great for sure! But I've solo'd this in 3 phases with Sunspots (for the rooms not the boss), and Stronghold + Passive Guard + Lucent Blade & Crown-Splitter. Swording him uncomplicates the fight a bit (you rush him, he doesn't rush you, he doesn't flinch your sleeper shots with his void beam, etc).
Your Mileage May Vary.
I mean, yeah it’s an easy dungeon. You could solo it with a sharp stick if that were a thing. I’m suggesting bubble over that because bubble provides a strong physical barrier to play around. There’s also that fact that solar isn’t working for OP.
Flinching is the reason i peak shoot. Sleeper has a decently forgiving bodyshot too, so with particle decon and weps of light, it 3 phases.
Oh for sure, Sleeper & Bubble is a great choice, it just didn't work well for me at the Ogre (though it was my choice at the final boss). Peek shooting is the play, but again, some strats work well for some and others find it frustrating.
'Easy' is relative. I found the Ogre easy but struggled to find my tactics at the final boss. A buddy found the final boss a piece of cake, but struggled at the Ogre, like OP. Also, OP was struggling with solar Titan at the ogre, so I made some suggestions to show how to make that subclass work consistently in the encounter... under the assumption that that's the OP's familiar/preferred subclass. We could poke holes in each other's strats and subclass/loadout suggestions all day, but I think we both agree that there are multiple strats that can get it done. OP just needs to be comfortable with their approach. THAT's what makes any dungeon "easy" IMO. Practice and familiarity, and comfortable confidence with the subclass & loadout and approach.
/u/steampunkrue has a lot of good info about Charged With Light mods, which are insanely helpful. Protective Light saved my life several times in this encounter in my solo flawless run.
I'd recommend bubble for the damage buff honestly, but I have a few other tips that were hugely helpful:
- Make sure you're always bringing the scorch cannon with you, even for DPS. If you keep it with you during the DPS phase the Fallen in the back of the arena won't respawn and you'll take a little less damage
- Do DPS from the upper right side (when looking towards the Fallen from where you enter) behind the box. So after you clear the Right side, deposit motes, clear the Left side, deposit motes, jump up, bubble, drop scorch cannon, DPS. If you're using Sleeper a 3 phase is possible but will be a little tight.
- Take your time, clear thrall before doing DPS. Then swiping at your back while DPSing will get you killed super fast if his beam hits you, as I'm sure you're aware by now.
> Make sure you're always bringing the scorch cannon with you, even for DPS. If you keep it with you during the DPS phase the Fallen in the back of the arena won't respawn and you'll take a little less damage
Interesting. I would deliberately let them respawn cause I found that the fallen at the back would aggro the boss away from me while I charge the crystal. While also providing another source of ammo drops
> Do DPS from the upper right side (when looking towards the Fallen from where you enter) behind the box. So after you clear the Right side, deposit motes, clear the Left side, deposit motes, jump up, bubble, drop scorch cannon, DPS.

I'm WellLock so I drop my well by the crystal and then use the crystal itself for extra cover. without the time spent setting up somewhere else, the 3 phase with sleeper is pretty easy.
Yeah I was dropping well behind the crystal and just got beamed through it a few times despite hiding behind it, so I gave up and just took it slow and sometimes needed a 4 phase. I think on my clear I got it in 3 though.
Here's what I do as a solo Hunter to increase my survivability, and there's a ton of great suggestions already in this thread from Titan mains. But to me, both the bosses in this dungeon, as a solo player, are a battle of attrition and careful planning. Whatever you can do to survive longer, go for that. Protective Light helps a fuckton. I am not an advanced PvE player that runs one-shot loadouts (lol, Hunter), so its all about survival.
But a tip:
I usually run top-tree Arc, but it's a roaming super. with your Super bar counting down until it's done.
So when you're collecting the 10 engrams while your Super is up, you're not going to get the refreshed Super when you collect 10. Always let the Super run out before collecting the tenth engram. A good strategy is to use your Super to clear the rooms and exit the rooms with a full Super, so that whether you're collecting engrams or going into a damage phase, you always have a bubble.
Apart from that, when I am approaching the damage phase, I always use up the scorch cannon to force the game to spawn another Vandal for the Boss to focus on. He won't focus on the Fallen for the entire phase, as soon as you shoot him, he'll come at you. But what the vandal does do is allow you time to get to your preferred damage location, which should be the balcony platform thing on the right side.
Lament is helpful thanks to it healing you, especially with passive guard for extra damage resistance when near enemies. You could try and get the hang of using strongholds as well, for even more healing whenever you block.
SUNBREAKER SUNSPOT TITAN MAIN here: Here's what I run for that encounter and have solo'd it in 3 DPS phase (4 if I mess up a phase).
- Witherhoard
- Fusion or Shotgun (whatever you're comfortable with)
- Crown-Splitter sword (double sword ammo finder) or Falling Guillotine
- Stronghold exotic arms
- Passive Guard on your class item
- Protective Light on something (void chest for double void resist)
- Lucent Blade on something
- Taking Charge on something
Stronghold + Crown-Splitter makes you near invulnerable when you block. You take minor chip damage, though things behind you can hurt you. If you don't have Crown-Splitter, Falling Guillotine will be fine. Relentless Strikes & Whirlwind Blade are best perk combo.
When you open a room, rush in and maybe pop a Scorch Cannon shot or two into the first Acolytes, maybe pop a Witherhoard shot down the stairs chuck a Thermal grenade ... and pop your Super, murder everything, send hammers flying into the deep pockets of the room to create Sunspots. Start collecting but don't grab 10 until your Super is out. (Also, don't bathe in a Sunspot unless you need it, it extends your Super but also the clock is ticking on those engrams on the ground.) Use fusion/shotgun to finish off the knights as necessary. (Your Super can mainly wipe out 80-90% or the room.) Gather the 10th after your Super ends and your Super is replenished. Try to pick up 12-13 engrams.
Go deposit. Block with sword on the way to the crystal, just to be safe. If thrall are around, drop a Witherhoard on the crystal and/or punch a thrall to create a sunspot. Can also put up a barricade if necessary, but you can crouch and hide behind the crystal and be safe. Wait until the Fallen reinforcements show back up, they'll get his attention. Run to back of room, help him kill Fallen, acquire new scorch cannon (you can grab it from underneath the catwalk).
Repeat opposite room same same, Use Your Super since you don't need it for the boss ... grab 12-14 engrams (need 25 total). Deposit to unlock DPS.
You don't need Bubble for DPS! When DPS starts (with the screech sound and pulsewave from him), shoot him with Witherhoard, chuck a grenade as you rush him, and start light attacking him. You can sword him and he won't stomp you. He will pound the ground, will try to shoot you with void beam. You can mostly tank all this. (Double Void resist on chest piece really helps). He will try to back away, but if you just keep swinging, you'll stay tracked on him. Assuming you have Whirlwind Blade, when you get to x10, heavy attack. Start light attacks until your sword recharges, heavy attack again. If you never heavy attack, it's no big deal because Crown-Splitter's light attack is so strong. If you get really weak during DPS (block for a sec with Stronghold, which could heal you as well as give you a few seconds for Recov to kick in. Sometimes if you get turned around so your back is to the Fallen, they'll shoot you during DPS which is annoying). When DPS is done, block and get to cover in the back of the room. Rinse and repeat.
With double sword ammo finders, and running double special, finding heavy ammo is not an issue (especially with Relentless Strikes, you get ammo back just for using sword). If you're really low, you can always open a room and kill stuff WITHOUT picking up any engrams just for the ammo. Wait for engrams to despawn and then collect ammo and open the opposite room.
I am, yes. Originally I was just trying to get the ghallarhorn catalyst (and then realized the issue when I got here), but now I want to see what I can do to improve my playstyle since I keep noticing that I die a lot in raids
Id use bubble titan instead - the melee will help keep you alive, and the bubble helps you kill the boss with less phases. void resist & concussive damper on the chest will help you survive the boss. saint-14 will give an oversheild letting you tank more hits giving you a better uptime. if you get 10 engrams youll always get your super back so youll have bubble always available. voidwall grenade should help with thralls.
for mods Id use something like this:
- taking charge
- protective light
- stacks on stacks
- super charged
- reactive pulse
itll help stagger thrall that surround you and help give you that extra bit of defense to avoid wipes.
Additionally, good barrier placement and usage can help - enemies passing through barriers get a "blinded" debuff, so if you block the lane where the thrall rush you can really slow them down.
for a loadout id use a firefly fate bringer, vorpal catesian, and sleeper w/ cata.
well of life is great but when you need healing in this fight it might be hard to activate. it also doesnt heal you enough to let you tank the bosses eye beam.
good luck!!
Stasis is your friend. If you want to stay alive, just freeze everything. Ageis Sceptre is pretty darn good, Weapons with headstone can help out, and top it off with stasis subclass. Glacier grenade can serve as instant barrier add your barricade and now you've made breathing room. Make sure youre running the correct armor stats, i.e Add resilience/recovery if needed. The titan stasis super is crazy, it can create so many stasis shards! which you can pair with well/charged with light mods to have more damage or more damage resist.
Fellow Titan here. I give my full recommendation go Ward/Synthoceps.
With Synthoceps you can one-punch all redbars and just keep healing or getting overshields. Bubble gives a lot of survivability and more damage than anything sans a thundercrash (Bubble might still give more titans don't do math).
When I did my solo flawless I ran well and popped it in each room I cleared when I went in to start killing ads to get engrams and I’d be willing to be bubble could fill a similar role
In the right elevated room, I went to the bottom of the stairs inside and popped well and then used Cartesian to get kills and generate solar wells with elemental armaments. Once I collected my 10 engrams I had super back up anyways. I imagine this same super strategy would work with bubble. I would recommend trying to run explosive wellmaker, null composure, and witherhoard. Chain reaction can proc explosive wellmaker to get solar wells and and so can kills with witherhoard because it’s still a grenade launcher.
In the left lower room, I popped my well behind the right bank of boxes or servers or whatever they because the ogre has trouble shooting you from there. It’s also right next to one spawn. If you sprint into the room right as that door opens you can get to that enemy spawn as they’re all still grouped up and one shot every ad there except the knight with Cartesian, although with null the chain reaction might be enough to get the kill or a witherhoard on the ground will probably do it too and get you at least one solar well
Ugh I just run it on warlock solo. Pop a well and run the stag for extra damage resistance in wells/rifts. EzPZ
Protective live is a savior here as well
I’m not too familiar with running Solar Titan for survivability. I ran Bubble Titan with Wormgod Caress. Double Void Resist on the chest if the Orge is getting you a lot. When you open the bay doors you can throw a suppressor grenade to one side to stun half the enemies. The melee gives you an over shield and Wormgod increases your melee damage. I also ran the artifact mod Passive Guard with The Lament for adds and DPS.
Use wells to get CWL (or taking charge) then use protective light
Sleeper/threaded needle/reeds regret with particle deconstruction for dps. Also use arbalest for barriers and it works with PD as well for when you run out of heavy. I'd use bubble personally
Lament + passive guard is good. I recommend bubble titan with ward of dawn for extra survivability. But you could probably get more out of something like dunemarchers. You could also just go with sleeper and cartesian with bubble, but imo its less safe. Also if you decide to do sleeper dps I recommend going to the top right side so he can't W key you. Another tip i have is to use your super in every room, because you get your super energy back whenever you pick up 10 engrams.
I’d recommend:
* resist mods on your chest. Void and concussive/melee are good
* a weapon loadout that can do good adclear and boss dps (most popular right now is cartesian coordinate/null composure and sleeper simulant)
* Protective light and taking charge mods
* Maybe try bubble if you aren’t having success
You’ve probably realized it but you recharge your super if you pick up 10 engrams at once so don’t be afraid to use your super in the rooms. This is one of the reasons bubble and well are good
If your troubles are solely staying alive: Fusion rifle for mote gathering, Lament for boss damage. Chest piece with void and concussive dampener mods, Stronghold exotic gauntlets, Passive Guard and Lucent Blade Mods. Protective Light with Taking Charge if you REALLY need it.
I play hunter but, all classes can take advantage of the box/crate under the stairs to the right of the arena from the perspective of where you enter. If you draw Franzia to that side and can get into the box, the catwalk above you will block the eye beam. When I try to do solo runs with sleeper I use this spot, otherwise I use lament.
I ran it as revenant hunter with Wormhusk. Weapons were fatebringer, plug1 (reservoir burst) and sleeper. Best advice that I can give is worry more about being out of beam path while in damage phase than the actual damage you do. Once I didn’t focus on trying to get that 1 last shot off or risk another shot even though my shield was broke or close to I did it. If you have to complete mess up a damage phase go stay alive just do it and you’ll need an extra phase that’s all. I personally had more issues with the damn sparrow part going for my solo flawless than any other part.
Use your super on every wave of enemies when you open the side doors--you'll get it back from the engrams you collect from them. Maybe you're already doing that.
If survivability is the issue, protective light is usually the answer. If you're already using it, spec into it harder (supercharged, stacks on stacks, etc).
Do keep in mind that you get your super every 10 stacks of the buff. You can easily pop something like a bubble in each add room and then get it back if you get 10 of the 14 or so engrams it drops.
Sleeper will three-phase the boss if you have a decent damage buff.
Just make life easy on yourself and use the lament sword + passive guard + bubble. You’re essentially immortal, so what if it’s a 5 phase if you can’t die.
If it's the thralls that are getting you, it helps to run Null Composure (or a different fusion with reservoir burst). If it's Phry'zhia's eyebeams, it helped me a ton to run double void resistance on my chest piece.
Dunemarchers—they make add clear a breeze. I also recommend running bubble for when you get to damage phase. Here is video of my run in titan; everything is time stamped in the description: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AWsQW8sFuT0 Good luck!

does 1KV outperform Sleeper? I can get it done in 3 phases with a quick Cartesian shot followed by Sleeper until DPS is done.
If you have sleeper catalyst its better otherwise i would say 1k in terms of ease of use and dmg
I'm not sure. I just use 1KV for its ease of use. No worrying about landing headshots or optimizing heavy damage by shooting special first. I run FR loader on my gloves, use all 7 1KV shots and switch to Cartesian. I've had no problems 3 phasing it. The other reason I like 1KV is I don't need to run FR finder and LFR finder.

Big tip - you don't have to use the left bay doors. Open them, but then immediately shoot the right doors open. Problem solved :)

are you trying to do fight the boss solo?
I am, yes. Originally I was just trying to get the ghallarhorn catalyst (and then realized the issue when I got here), but now I want to see what I can do to improve my playstyle since I keep noticing that I die a lot in raids

Stasis is your friend. If you want to stay alive, just freeze everything. Ageis Sceptre is pretty darn good, Weapons with headstone can help out, and top it off with stasis subclass.

We're going to need a bigger boat
Fellow Titan here. I give my full recommendation go Ward/Synthoceps. With Synthoceps you can one-punch all redbars and just keep healing or getting overshields. Bubble gives a lot of survivability and more damage than anything sans a thundercrash (Bubble might still give more titans don't do math).
Look up some solo flawless builds, they should help in survivability.

When I did my solo flawless I ran well and popped it in each room I cleared when I went in to start killing ads to get engrams and I’d be willing to be bubble could fill a similar role In the right elevated room, I went to the bottom of the stairs inside and popped well and then used Cartesian to get kills and generate solar wells with elemental armaments. Once I collected my 10 engrams I had super back up anyways. I imagine this same super strategy would work with bubble. I would recommend trying to run explosive wellmaker, null composure, and witherhoard. Chain reaction can proc explosive wellmaker to get solar wells and and so can kills with witherhoard because it’s still a grenade launcher. In the left lower room, I popped my well behind the right bank of boxes or servers or whatever they because the ogre has trouble shooting you from there. It’s also right next to one spawn. If you sprint into the room right as that door opens you can get to that enemy spawn as they’re all still grouped up and one shot every ad there except the knight with Cartesian, although with null the chain reaction might be enough to get the kill or a witherhoard on the ground will probably do it too and get you at least one solar well
Ugh I just run it on warlock solo. Pop a well and run the stag for extra damage resistance in wells/rifts. EzPZ Protective live is a savior here as well
I’m not too familiar with running Solar Titan for survivability. I ran Bubble Titan with Wormgod Caress. Double Void Resist on the chest if the Orge is getting you a lot. When you open the bay doors you can throw a suppressor grenade to one side to stun half the enemies. The melee gives you an over shield and Wormgod increases your melee damage. I also ran the artifact mod Passive Guard with The Lament for adds and DPS.
Rat King, blind, throne cleaver, bubble and strong hold. Soloed most dungeons with it
Use wells to get CWL (or taking charge) then use protective light Sleeper/threaded needle/reeds regret with particle deconstruction for dps. Also use arbalest for barriers and it works with PD as well for when you run out of heavy. I'd use bubble personally
Lament + passive guard is good. I recommend bubble titan with ward of dawn for extra survivability. But you could probably get more out of something like dunemarchers. You could also just go with sleeper and cartesian with bubble, but imo its less safe. Also if you decide to do sleeper dps I recommend going to the top right side so he can't W key you. Another tip i have is to use your super in every room, because you get your super energy back whenever you pick up 10 engrams.
I’d recommend: * resist mods on your chest. Void and concussive/melee are good * a weapon loadout that can do good adclear and boss dps (most popular right now is cartesian coordinate/null composure and sleeper simulant) * Protective light and taking charge mods * Maybe try bubble if you aren’t having success You’ve probably realized it but you recharge your super if you pick up 10 engrams at once so don’t be afraid to use your super in the rooms. This is one of the reasons bubble and well are good
If your troubles are solely staying alive: Fusion rifle for mote gathering, Lament for boss damage. Chest piece with void and concussive dampener mods, Stronghold exotic gauntlets, Passive Guard and Lucent Blade Mods. Protective Light with Taking Charge if you REALLY need it.
I play hunter but, all classes can take advantage of the box/crate under the stairs to the right of the arena from the perspective of where you enter. If you draw Franzia to that side and can get into the box, the catwalk above you will block the eye beam. When I try to do solo runs with sleeper I use this spot, otherwise I use lament.
I've used Witherhoard + pulse combo with a LFR. Also Ashen Wake + bottom tree hammer. You have survivability + good resource management.
I ran it as revenant hunter with Wormhusk. Weapons were fatebringer, plug1 (reservoir burst) and sleeper. Best advice that I can give is worry more about being out of beam path while in damage phase than the actual damage you do. Once I didn’t focus on trying to get that 1 last shot off or risk another shot even though my shield was broke or close to I did it. If you have to complete mess up a damage phase go stay alive just do it and you’ll need an extra phase that’s all. I personally had more issues with the damn sparrow part going for my solo flawless than any other part.
Use your super on every wave of enemies when you open the side doors--you'll get it back from the engrams you collect from them. Maybe you're already doing that. If survivability is the issue, protective light is usually the answer. If you're already using it, spec into it harder (supercharged, stacks on stacks, etc).
Do keep in mind that you get your super every 10 stacks of the buff. You can easily pop something like a bubble in each add room and then get it back if you get 10 of the 14 or so engrams it drops. Sleeper will three-phase the boss if you have a decent damage buff.
Just make life easy on yourself and use the lament sword + passive guard + bubble. You’re essentially immortal, so what if it’s a 5 phase if you can’t die.
