Even with a full six-person fireteam, it can be tricky to beat Destiny’s most recent raid boss, Oryx. Taking him down is a complicated fight that requires perfect timing and coordination from six experienced raiders. Unless you just say ‘screw it’ and do it yourself.
Meet Gatsby, a Destiny player who has spent many hours trying to accomplish the ridiculous task of soloing Oryx. After figuring out a few integral strategies—with help from other Destiny community members—he finally pulled it off. Watch here:

The best part of this run? It’s all legit. No exploits or cheese here—just meticulous play. Now let’s see if he can do it on Hard.
