Flawless Striker

Complete a Strike without anyone in your fireteam dying.
Worth 20 GS

In Destiny whenever a player loses all of their health they turn in to Ghost and are considered dead, despite the fact that you can immediately revive them. If anyone on your team dies at any point in a strike the trophy will be void. This sounds challenging, but with the right players, correct strike, and some focusing it isnt too bad. You can also circumvent this by using the following method below:

Whenever you die you can return to orbit and then rejoin the fireteam. It will no longer count as a death towards the clear. Just make sure that you are not the fireteam leader when you do it, because it will end the room. This goes for everyone else that dies and must leave as well. You can also use this trick for completing a bounty that requires no deaths.

You should not do this without having a friend as the fireteam leader, otherwise you risk not being able to rejoin.


If you are trying to do this legitimately you can do the following:

The easiest and shortest strike in the entire game is The Nexus on Venus. It is a level 14 Strike that can be completed in as little as 7 minutes. There is only one section of the entire strike prior to the boss that you cant simply skip, which means you can avoid a lot of encounters and lost time.

In order to ensure success I suggest not attempting this until you are level 20+ with some pretty good gear. Although the content will scale you down you will still have the maximum amount of defense and damage, which is a big asset compared to when you first encounter the strike.

When you jump down into the final room of the strike be sure to double jump just before you hit the ground, otherwise you will die from the fall and have wasted your time. Once you hit the ground you will fight a bunch of Vex Minotaurs that have shields. Use Fusion Rifles to easily mow them all down and bypass the shields, or Heavy Weapon ammo. Immediately take a hard right and have all three fireteam members take different hiding positions on righthand side of the room.

There are large, chest high concrete blocks that you can crouch behind and safely shoot at the boss, without ever getting directly bombarded by his attacks. Have one player just to the left of you and one player at the far right, either just before the stairs or right at the very top of them.

This spread will allow you to pick off the spawns that show up without being overwhelmed. It will also make the boss spin 90 to 180 degrees, allowing you to consistently hit precision shots. Whenever the adds spawn stop fighting the boss and call it out to your fireteam. Focus them down quickly to avoid being pushed out of cover.

If worse comes to worst and someone dies you can always start over knowing not very much time was wasted. Just practice your positioning and killing the adds until the trophy is yours.
