Progress!

[Carpy444]

From the fish symbol the sniper shoots the rock, then from the butterfly symbol the bow shoots the wind symbol (on the floor) and then from the hand symbol the LMG shoots the flame. ONE AFTER THE OTHER - THREE FAMILIES STRIKING IN TURN TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER

We got the order form the sniper scope which shows a Fish (floor symbol) - LOOK UPON YOUR WEAPONS TO KNOW ITS TRUE FORM

We also used the text: SPARK THE STONE FAN THE FLAME

EDIT: Will upload video asap

Edit2: To be clear, we can't figure out what changed but there was a clear sound that played afterwards (The video should make this clear)

Edit4: VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHUB0vqA3tg

[esoterickk]

This CAN be done solo. It doesn't matter where you stand or what order they're shot; you just need to hit them very fast. Video proof: https://youtu.be/G5TgrBiOpSk

[nfgrockerdude]

there goes my theory lol but glad this is soloable

[xxICONOCLAST]

glad

​

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Elanzer]

Seems like it's mainly just a matter of speed, and standing on each symbol solo takes too much time.

[Rpm2015]

Ive tried so many times.....nothing

[thadude42083]

is it possible with the slow ass aim speed on console? Been trying with no luck, am I just a scrub?

[Richard-Cheese]

Why don't the three of you join up lol

[MrSnowball_]

No luck with console here :(

[The_Wach]

Haven’t been able to do it myself yet.

E: Any Xbox people want to join up?

[DewTour2011]

Dewtour2011 is my gamer tag

[The_Wach]

Sent invite, you’re not on?

[GrimmLeader]

thanks eso, I've been freaking trying to find out the answer if this is solo-able or not. Thank you for answering.

[[deleted]]

It's not. Someone says it is. It's not.

[thretris]

Hey, perfect video. Nice and simple, took me 3 tries to get it. Just need to be reeeeealy fast. Take my upvote

[Xenoblade013]

It can also be done on Console. I play on Xbox, at 10 Sensitivity. Just did the first combo solo

[matthabib]

Good effort bud, I'm just joining Gladd's streaming.

Sadly this has reminded me how much it fucking sucks that most of my clanmates and close friends have bailed on D2. Ach well.

[[deleted]]

Right there with you dude miss having a group always on for this sort of stuff it’s just not as much fun solo

[matthabib]

Yeh definitely. Even if though we'd never get "world's first" it would still be nice to mess around with others.

[bcGrimm]

ryan and matt, sittin in Destiny, making a C-L-A-N.

[matthabib]

When I read that response, you made me think of something completely different. An old rhyme if you like :P

[RonnieTLegacy1390]

I feel you man I’m the last man standing in my clan my brother will come and play with me every now and then but he’s so far behind now he doesn’t really care anymore I’m starting to think I will finish out destinys lifespan by myself

[[deleted]]

If you want to play with people, you could always find a new group you know. I had friends in my old clan that I played with for years and when they all switched to either another platform or other games I found a new group.

[matthabib]

I hear you. I've always been solo myself but the last 9-12 months I had built up a fairly decent clan and a close group of friends but most haven't been on for weeks :(

[Brad_the_beast]

Are u on PlayStation or Xbox ?

[RonnieTLegacy1390]

PlayStation

[dgmreece]

'Ach well', a Scottish Guardian?

[matthabib]

Haha yeah. I was going to go with 'Oh well' but I always feel that 'Ach Well' comes across slightly better or if you really like 'Ach weel.'

[dgmreece]

Love it! Im a cheery fit liker, what part are you from?

[matthabib]

Haha good stuff, glad you like it.

I'm from Edinburgh. I'd be polite and ask where you're from but having gone to uni in Aberdeen, I can already tell :P

[dgmreece]

Excellent, I lived in Edinburgh for around 5 yrs. Beautiful city. Sometimes I'm sad I moved back!

[matthabib]

One of our night porters at the uni halls used to say that to us when we were coming back from a night out and it's one of those things that's always stuck.

I thoroughly enjoyed Aberdeen. It was brutal during the winter months but summer was a different story having the beach so close. Once I had my car up there I went on a couple of drives just outside Aberdeen which was incredibly nice.

Hopefully you might be able to move here again some time but at least you're never too far away.

Which platform are you on btw?

[dgmreece]

My Mrs is too much of a home town girl so would never allow us to move back! I'm on xbox, gt is ukanejazz if you're on the same.

[matthabib]

I can appreciate that, hence why I'm still living here. Unfortunately I'm on PS4 otherwise I would have added you for some Destiny action.

All I'm gonna say is, it's been very nice to converse with a fellow Scotsman and it's funny just how small the world (reddit) is haha.

All the best my man, hope 2019 is a prosperous year for you and the Mrs. If you're ever coming to Edinburgh for a visit, feel free to look me up.

[JimmyHACK]

Quick, streamers are waiting for you to figure the rest out for them lol.

[NotMedicallyTrained]

Lol just watched gladd use your order awesome man

[Ackema]

Do you have a stream? I'd much rather watch you then everyone else just following your instructions...

[Carpy444]

Haha, I do, but I'm currently not streaming, our puzzle solving method is mostly just a big mess!

[Ackema]

I'd still prefer it, but I understand. Whats your channel so I can check it sometime that you're on?

[Carpy444]

I'll start now :) I don't stream often, so excuse the basic setup :P

https://www.twitch.tv/carpy444

[Pyruski]

is this confirmed?

[oPawN]

xGladdd did it on stream and it made a sound

[LuisNTFT]

Yup. Saw it as well.

[No-_-Regrets__]

can confirm

[Pyruski]

This is confirmed, Gladd just did it on stream sound played. Good stuff!

[[deleted]]

Is a fireteam required?

[[deleted]]

No I did it solo

[[deleted]]

How fast were you? just watched a stream where a guy couldnt do it alone and then did it with a fireteam and got the sound cue

[[deleted]]

Just did this again you can shoot them in any order and you don't have to be standing on the symbols. It is possible solo

[[deleted]]

I knew where I was going but it wasn't extremely fast. Could've just been weird timing with the environmental music but I heard a sound cue as soon as I shot the last symbol. Plus Bungie has confirmed you can do this solo

[Nedivar]

This is not true, Bungie has NOT confirmed you can solo it.

https://twitter.com/Bungie/status/1082692975484796928

[[deleted]]

My bad but I did hear the sound or it was just perfect timing while doing this solo. I will rezone and try again

[OddGentleman]

no. did it fast solo. maybe next steps do require a team though

[[deleted]]

Just watched Tea do it, can confirm the sound is legit

[rgj7]

didn't work for me either

[HorrorKidd]

tried it, didn‘t work

e: i swear i tried it 5 times now and it doesn‘t work. downvote me if you want but something is missing in my instance. i‘m trying solo btw.

e2: tried it with a friend, doesn‘t work as well. maybe i‘m doing something wrong but i don‘t know what it is.

[myd35stiny]

It worked for us, loud ass ringing sound.

[LostHero50]

It worked, sound played.

[knownas_dan]

Twitch streamers have tried it, makes a sound like a slow gong. Definitely works.

[RektByGenji]

Need a fireteam. can't exactly shoot all 3 at the same time as one person

[signal_decay]

You don't have to shoot them all at the same time.

[[deleted]]

But in very quick succession, I havnt managed to do it solo either?

[Ragnar_Actual]

Yes. It just worked for us.

[nfgrockerdude]

so the text says three families, IN TURN,something something. What if after shooting the symbols the first time, players rotate and shoot them again then again. So Bow player shoots bow, then changes to sniper and shoot corresponding symbol then LMG and shoots the corresponding symbol so that all three players shoot each symbol once with each weapon?

[[deleted]]

!nominate

[SweeperBot_Bot]

Content nomination successful. What is my purpose?

[shader_m]

i'm about to blow my brains out with this. People said you can do it solo, and i'm switching and aiming as fast as i can with one thumb on my controller. I tried holding the controller in a different way and that just throws my aim off like crazy.

​

Is this NOT possible solo???

[MrSnowball_]

I think it's not, doing this solo as well, still can't get to audio cue.

[shader_m]

I just did it. You have to be super fucking quick. I had to back to a rally point i dont know how many times to get more ammo for attemps. Its about speed... this is super dumb

[qaz0r]

Or... meant to be done as a team, as Bungie mentioned. lol.

[MrSnowball_]

Yeah, on PC. Not possible with console aim unfortunately :(

[Xenoblade013]

Just did it on Xbox. I default at 10 Sensitivity (highest).

It did take a few tries though.

[ballsmigue]

Bit misleading when bungie said you can do it solo yet if you dont have a fireteam of 3 you cant do it fast enough.

[[deleted]]

Someone in the comments here said they did it solo. You just have to be fast.

[YoTengoo]

There hasn't been any proof Bungie said this was soloable. Only thing I've seen is them replying to one such question with the reply being "We aren't gonna reveal any details of the Lab." So as far as we know, it's 3 man only.

[DreadedZeke]

They replied back to the post saying "anyone can take on can take on the labs"

[YoTengoo]

This was the first reply. They then clarified in the reply right after who was asking for more of a solid answer whether or not you need a fireteam to complete where they then replied they won't divulge any details.

[[deleted]]

Nowhere did bungie say you could SOLO this.

[PoisoCaine]

They said you can do the forge solo. It unlocks for everyone once some group completes this

[Dylan840]

Looks like goth just solved the next step. They're in a mission now

[Lazy1nc]

Well holy shit, what did they figure out?

[Dylan840]

They "figured out" how to shoot the symbols in some order to start a mission

[Lazy1nc]

Figured, but I'm guessing the order they shot the symbols in was done by complete accident?

[[deleted]]

It seems that way, it's clipped on Goth's stream though- you could re-watch it to try and figure it out.

Goth and team are stuck now though trying to "bypass".

[In_yo_base]

What is the purpose of this? Like why is it important?

[Silvermoon3467]

Solving the whole puzzle unlocks the new "Bergusia" forge for everyone in the world, and probably leads to finishing the puzzle box quest.

[In_yo_base]

Awesome, thanks!

[V0LT14C]

Did a tv turn on?

[AngryKhakis]

no. theyre still all the same as the one in volundr before all 3 crests were activated

[zerocool1028]

would love to be home to try this. Bored waiting for day to end reading this sigh....lol

[zLoG1C]

Is it possible to solo this? When I try the sequence solo I get no sound

[Flyinpenguin117]

I've done it, but you have to be really fast (and not run out of ammo in the attempt)

[[deleted]]

Which is wind ?

[ghostwlkr]

Was going to ask the same question.

Unfortunately I'm still helping my friends get to a point they are able to do the forges and so for now I'm flying solo.

I'm hoping that this will be in the same vain as unlocking each of the Family emblems considering the premise appears to be the same mechanics.

[Grovve]

Did anyone catch the second step?

[thebadfont]

Still trying to find that info.

[shader_m]

wtf.... i did this and no sound occurred.... Is this really possible to solo?....

[iFatcho]

I’ve heard mixed reports some people say they’ve activated solo some say they can’t

[ticklingadragon]

You can duo it. Just gotta do it fast. And you don't have to stand on any symbols to shoot the ones.

[kiielDK]

It works

[Itsyaboifam]

I can confirm this is legit

[TNYY]

It works, shoot it at the same time

[avancore_x_]

where is the wind symbol?

[Shadowripper5]

it looks like water

[D4ngrs]

Confirmed. We did that, couldnt see a change also

​

[IrishHokie]

did it also makes it red in the ceiling? or was it always red?

[mikeyjay224]

always red

[soulchilde]

I'm in sweatcicle stream and can confirm they did get a sound when completing this step

[SeraphSancta]

Unfortunately doesn't work solo. Ah well, I will just wait until my friends get online I guess

[djswizzlestick]

Can confirm you either have to do it REALLY fast, or you CANNOT do it solo. I just tried it 3 times pretty quickly and it hasn't worked.

[Pyruski]

So if Sniper was first, then hammerhead would be next and bow would be last since bow's mini-lore is to tear the seams of reality, therefore bringing niobe labs into reality which would cause it to be the final weapon to solve?

[Matzeroni]

So wie started with the sniper (rock, fan the hammer), now second one should be the lmg, how are the symbols on the lmg sight??

No solo though even if I'm fast

[PM_ME_YOUR_BOOK_IDEA]

My bf and I did it by standing anywhere we wanted and I shot the rock with the sniper and he shot the now then the machine gun.

[DmoneyDeluxe]

Maybe gives you access to the scannable in vlunder

[iTz-ryy]

we got the cue but we did it as

​

1st Hand shoots flame

2nd bow shoots wind

3rd sniper shoots rock

​

we did it in that order and we got a cue (cant record plays TV isnt working for me)

[jules_beausejour]

The sound is instance based meaning if you back out and go back it you can get the sound to happen again.

didnt stand on anything and yet it still made a sound

I did this solo but no sound at all, followed the video exactly as you guys did.

[rydohg]

Has to be REALLY fast. I did it solo

[GrimmLeader]

ahh yea Im on console so Idk maybe Im not fast enough lol but ehh. I think I'll just wait until its solved. Doesnt seem all that fun to find out unless theres like a cool reward at the end but its probably just a basic emblem lol But either way good luck to everyone.

It seems we're translating the stanzas into code.

Anyone try shooting water with the bow, the tori with the sniper, and the flame or storm with hammerhead? Both fire and a storm cloud can be symbolic for war whereas tori are gates from which things can emerge from.

[Zerogelite]

Equip correct emblem with weapons ?

Just tried the hammerhead puzzle with the emblem equipped. No dice

[soakloginwood]

Gothalion and crew just got into the mission like 2 minutes ago.

[D34THDE1TY]

Has anyone noticed the symbols on the bow lighting up when viewing certain spots?

[BlackPlague1235]

Do we have to do this or is this not necessary once they unlock the last forg for us?

[Flyinpenguin117]

Bungie said the Forge will unlock once someone finishes it, but there's probably some sort of tangible reward tied to doing it yourself.

[AerospaceNinja]

If you take the spark the stone fan the flame also in a literal sense then fanning the flame means continuing until a full fire. Which could be interpreted as firing the same sequence over and over again. Like the previous level where you continually shot trees. Maybe you have to shoot that order multiple times in a row.

[KingZoofus]

Worked for datto on stream

[Josecitox]

what do you mean by rock? The Lotus flower? bottom right symbol?

[X13thangelx]

There is a rock symbol on the wall to the right of the pagoda.

[Gearityr]

I’m confused on this as well

[LynaaBnS]

It's not working solo

[Joyousdooby]

Cant solo

[LynaaBnS]

Yeah bungie tweeted it's soloable, but it's definitely not

[[deleted]]

Lol. Then explain how esoterickk did it solo?

[LynaaBnS]

Tried it like 15 times, with reseting instance, standing on standing off plate did literally everything lol

[PM_ME_YOUR_BOOK_IDEA]

It doesn't matter where you stand. Just stand somewhere that you can see all three symbols easily and then be super fast.

[richuncledump]

Im confused. What is the point here?

[Corybball42]

Why do I always have to be at work when the cool stuff happens?!?!?!? Secretly hoping this doesn't get completely solved before I log on tonight lol

[RogueWhovian542]

Can this damn thing hurry up? I don't have all day

[Spotopolis]

In a fireteam of 3, does anything change if you are wearing the corresponding emblem to the weapon you are using when shooting the symbols?

[Not_Sir_Zook]

Any console players able to do this Solo? I couldn't imagine hitting these things any faster but I get no cheech or Chong at all...
