This is my very first completion of the new Ghosts of the Deep dungeon. I did it solo with all bows, my HUD turned off, no Artifact mods equipped, and completely spoiler free. I also did it flawlessly on my first flawless attempt after failing to complete it prior. (See Attempt History below.)

*Run Summary*
The full run took 6 hours and 49 minutes. The first boss took 2 hours and 10 minutes with 19 damage phases. The second boss took 3 hours and 9 minutes with 15 damage phases. The reason the first boss took so many phases was because (1) I was getting reacquainted with a specific build I didn’t start using until this boss; (2) I had a few botched phases; and (3) I was being overly cautious as to not die, so I bailed at times. Also, because of the adds, the size of the arena, and the placement of DPS, I had to spend extra time taking care of adds instead of doing damage during the short damage phase. I've got to say, I absolutely love this dungeon, but man, I was physically and mentally EXHAUSTED by the end of it, to say the least.

This run was done fully on stream in one sitting. A couple breaks were edited out, but no actual gameplay was missed.

*Additional Notes*
▶︎ Artifact Mods
I chose not to use Artifact mods. It is something I do for my first solo and solo flawless clears of each dungeon.

▶︎ Flawless
Since I spent so much time on the final boss and knew the mechanics perfectly, and since I had previous gotten to the boss flawlessly, I threw caution to the wind and decided to give myself 10 attempts at flawless before just going for the regular solo clear again. I completed the run on my first attempt at flawless, but only after 128 deaths in the 63 hours across three streams beforehand. (It's kind of confusing.)

▶︎ Attempt History (Prior to this run)
• Stream 1: I started the dungeon on Day 1 solo, with all-bows, and spoiler free. I figured out all the mechanics through the first boss on my own, but couldn’t beat it during that 20 hour stream. At some point halfway through, I turned my HUD off.
• Stream 2: I started from the beginning again (must be in one continuous run for the solo triumph), then beat the first boss on the first try and got to the second boss flawlessly. I turned my HUD back on for the second boss, figured out the mechanics on my own, but couldn’t beat it during the 23 hour stream.
• Stream 3: I started at the beginning again, died a couple times getting to the final boss, then died a lot and couldn’t beat it during the 19.5 hour stream. This was the last chance to get a Week 1 clear.

For both builds, I had Tier 10 Mobility and Tier 8 Resilience. The reasons why are because I couldn't get to double 100, and also because without HUD, I play purely off muscle memory. Dodging is vital to my playstyle, so I have the timing very closely ingrained.

---------------------------------------
*Fun Fact*
I thought it would be fun to see how many Weapon Levels and kills I would acquire on my Under Your Skin by the end of the dungeon. I did this way back with my first run of Duality where I gained 281 Levels and 45,087 kills. When I finally completed this dungeon, my Under Your Skin had leveled up 115 Levels with a total of 16,225 kills. Right now it's sitting at a lifetime total of 770 Weapon Levels and 101,758 kills.
