Someone has already cleared one of FFXIV Endwalker's Raid encounters solo

It's been just over a month since the release of the Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker Raid's first tier Pandaemonium: Asphodelos and a Warrior player has already beaten the first major boss encounter of it solo - which took them over an hour to do.

While the eagerly-anticipated Endwalker expansion finally launched last month to much acclaim, especially from us, although it was initially lacking the much advertised new high-tier Raid, Pandaemonium. This will be rolled out slowly but the Raid's beginning part, Asphodelos, came out just before Christmas - with the tougher Savage difficulty hitting earlier this month.

The various Circles of this Raid are a tough challenge for a group of players - the whole reason Raids exist - but some players have already beaten The First Circle of the Raid in single-player.
