I only have 2 achievements left. Upgrade a Hunter sub-class, and FLAWLESS RAIDER!
So on Saturday I started my personal quest - get flawless raider by soloing Crota's End.
I'd never attempted to solo before. After lots of hours over this weekend learning how to solo this raid, after crap loads of wipes, a few early lucky runs, and too many "so close!" moments, I've got every part down near perfect.
But since then I'm stuck in this nightmare cycle of just having a major blunder every run...
..Messing up a run through the hall after the bridge (shriekers and thrall!!), getting swiped by ninja knights, running straight into an exploding thrall that appears out of nowhere or messing up the jump across the bridge.
It doesn't seem to matter how perfect everything is going, something always ruins the run. I'm starting to get really pissed off.
Any tips? Anyone that solo's flawless, how do you get through it without losing concentration?
The worst part for me is the period between killing the death singer, and being able to activate the crystal. That bit is just tedious. Acolytes constantly spawn out the doors, 2 yellow bar knights with swords constantly spawn either side and manage to sneak up and ninja me while my guard is down. Any tips for this part? How does it work? Do I have to kill a certain amount of knights before the last part of the raid begins, or is it just on a timer? .. the amount of times I've done this raid and I haven't figured that out yet and keep getting caught off-guard!
Also a good strat for killing the sword bearer at crota would be great.. just gally from above? sniping him? Or gally /shotty..
[spoiler]I'm not going to do the Hunter sub-class achievement any time soon. I can't put myself through those story missions any more. It's painful[/spoiler]
EDIT : ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED. SOLO FLAWLESS.

Sword bearer use a black hammer or a powerful sniper rifle and try to land consistent head shots. For after death singer you just gotta kill a certain amount of knights and acolytes before it starts.
