There's quite a few guides and posts about how to farm the Imago Loop now that Undying Mind is the Nightfall. However there's no Solo Guides for farming it [i](probably for a good reason)[/i]. So this is to show a method to do it by yourself if you wanted to.
Speed-wise this will be slower than a group method for sure, and there's a lot more personal responsibility. But if you wish to farm it on your own for whatever reason, don't have others to play with don't trust others to land their shots; this method will show you how to do it Solo.
First you need to clear up to the boss on a Nightstalker Hunter. It's relatively simple if you play it safe, I have a solo run through here for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwwgV8iTDf8
Once you get to the boss, the following requirements are needed:
-Nightstalker Hunter (spec into Max Recovery, Vortex Grenade, Vanish in Smoke and Lockdown)
-Void High Impact Sniper (1000 Yard Stare, LDR, Longbow type etc)
-Mid Impact Scout Rifle (I went Hung Jury here, others can be used but they may require different shots)
The strategy is exactly the same as the group method but in a different spot to make up for the time it takes solo: Getting the boss to a certain threshold from a safe spot, jumping down and popping Vanish in Smoke, running right under the boss while invis and Vortex Grenading at your feet.
How many exact shots you need to hit on the boss are:
-21 Sniper Precision Shots
-1 Sniper Body Shot
-4 Hung Jury Body Shot - in the video I hit 5, but 4 is much safer so that the boss doesn't die too early
Note: These are the same amount of shots you can use to hit in a group too, ideally you'd split them up.
Once you hit these, jump down from the safe spot, use Vanish in Smoke and run underneath the boss. Kill yourself with a Vortex Grenade under him, and he will die with 1-2 sec on wipe timer too. Once you've respawned his loot will be there and hopefully will have dropped an Imago Loop. Doing this I was able to kill the boss 10+ times in an hour and received 3 Imago Loops and 2 Titan Butt Carpets.
Just to reiterate, the benefits to doing it solo vs a group are very minimal/non-existent being completely honest. [b]This is only for those who don't have a group or don't trust other people to hit their shots and only want personal accountability. [/b] It's much faster with a good group, but the solo method is available for those that want to.
Hopefully this is helpful to some - any questions feel free to ask!

Outlaw, firefly, extended mag, on warlock

Someone reply please?
-
Thank you good friend
-
Finally got my roll!
-
Tried this yesterday. Didn't work for me. Obviously i'm not skilled enough to do the jumping part. Couldn't reach the safe spot.

It helped out alot!
-
Truesight, rangefinder, rifled barrel and life support. Guess it decent pvp roll
-
Ok, in your guide you had the taken wizards instead of 10,000 yellow minotaurs. How the hell do you solo that part?! Got up to it but holy hell, there is like an infinite amount of them! Went thru a nova bomb, 7 rockets and my entire sniper ammo reserve and got to wave 2 of like 10.

I have no idea how you make this look so easy. I can barely kill the boss solo following this method, let alone reliably farm it. The splash damage is unreal. I've even tried maxing my armor over recovery just so I can soak a little extra damage, but it doesn't seem to help. I managed to down the boss once solo, but that was just going all out and hitting it with everything I had, not trying to precisely farm it. I got a Loop with Firefly and Exhumed for my troubles, as well as a 330 Ghost. Trolled. I'm 335, so I don't really know what the issue is. I'll probably just have to try to find a group.
-
All this work for a fake Fatebringer? If it had a burn then yes. Year 2 sucked for weapons :(
-
Nice, I would almost suggest the sting gauntlets after you get up there and run poison on your smoke. When you jump down just crouch to go invis, then hit him with a wombo
-
Great guide
-
Haha Titan butt carpets...
-
Protip: most players will not have enough sniper ammo to weaken him. A scout rifle with Shoot to Loot will help solve this problem.
-
I saw this on your YT before I noticed you posted on here. (Been watching you for a while, love the content.) I was wondering, 335 Void snipers? Or the other ones?
-
So word of crota ? Will this do enough damage? Cant find a group its pretty shit all of lfg is like farming imago must have black spindle no one under 335 lol. Fcuk em I'll do it solo.
-
I didn't even have to grind for it...I barely do nightfalls anymore...so I did one this week and got the fate bringer roll on my warlock..check it out...can't get better than this i think lol
-
hehehe, titan butt carpet. ima farm for loops now have a bump *fluffs the undying mind to death*
-
Fools... grinding for a weapon that is subpar in all ways to Fatebringer...
-
My hunter basically has the same exact perks as FB. Outlaw, firefly, the same sights, extended mag/braced frame. It still doesn't feel like fatebringer lol. I hate when people compare it
-
Edited by MR TRIX No1: 8/26/2016 12:18:07 AMI just got one with Truesight IS Firefly Spray & Play Hammer forged/oiled frame Any good? On my Titan
-
What Light do you need to be to do this consistently?
-
All I get is butt carpets...butt carpets by the butt load...this game hates me

What's the big deal with the Imago Loop? I've been playing PVP like crazy for 1.5 years and honestly can't ever remember being killed by the Imago a single time.
