History of Aphelion's Rest Solo Mastery

Revision 6663 by archivist at 2026-10-01 23:32:16

Aphelion's Rest Solo Mastery is a 5-point triumph for completing the Aphelion's Rest Lost Sector on Master difficulty without a fireteam.

== The Lost Sector ==

Aphelion's Rest is a Lost Sector on The Strand in the Dreaming City, added in Season of the Lost. Enemies are mostly Taken (lots of Thrall, Acolytes, Hobgoblins, Psions and Phalanxes) ending in a Taken Knight boss.

== Champions and modifiers ==

  • Per TheGamer: entrance has one Unstoppable Phalanx; the tree encounter has two Overload Hobgoblins and an Unstoppable Phalanx; the boss arena repeats that with the Knight.
  • Blueberries lists Master as 3 Unstoppable and 4 Overload champions (Legend 2 and 2); TheGamer's per-room list is smaller, so counts differ between sources or seasons.
  • Master modifiers listed: Surge (Solar and Strand), Overcharge (Shotgun), Threat (Stasis), Shields (Void), plus Attrition, which sharply cuts regeneration. GGRecon describes an older set (Overcharged Weapons, Epitaph geysers). Modifiers rotate by season.
  • Void shields are common; bring Void damage.

== Recommended builds ==

  • Anti-Champion: Le Monarque (stuns Overload), or a Chill Clip special such as Riptide. Unstoppable needs a rocket or heavy; Blueberries suggests Gjallarhorn or Apex Predator for heavy and Solar hand cannons for primary.
  • Subclasses suggested by TheGamer: Arcstrider, Sunbreaker, Shadebinder. Survivability matters because of Attrition.
  • Take cover, kill long-range threats first, clear Thrall before they multiply, and save your Super for the boss.

== Solo ==

Go slowly and use the doors/cover between rooms. Solo guides on YouTube (for example the Titan Master solo flawless run) show full routes.

== Completing it ==

Run Master alone. Recommended power level in sources: about 1840 (minimum 1830) in the era they cover; Legend/Master unlock after finishing the base version and reaching the stated power. Attrition makes dying costly, so prefer a healing or overshield build. Dying is allowed for this one; the flawless variant is Aphelion's Rest Flawless Solo Mastery. Easier version: Aphelion's Rest Solo Expert.
