Which group dungeons are we able to solo

The best I've managed to find only include the first set of dungeons. For example, I know i can solo Spindleclutch (done it a few times), but nothing I've found says anything about Spindleclutch 2 and the same holds true for all the other mk2 dungeons.

Any links or lists would be greatly appreciated. Simply don't want to waste an hour of my time running through a dungeon only to find out the final boss requires at least 2 people to be present. I mainly do dungeons on normal just to learn the boss mechanics.

    Yeah, that is annoying. I'd like to help, but I honestly can't remember which ones I have and haven't solo'd..

    General rule of thumb I've found is that *most* non-dlc, version 1 of dungeons ARE soloable - most others either aren't possible (or are very difficult to). But I'm sure others have had more success than me.

    Would be great of there was a list somewhere of all the dungeons that don't have anti-solo mechanics - put in order of difficulty so you can give yourself a kind of challenge to see how far down the list you can go.

    Direfrost solo: You can skip the room with the 2 trigger plates and go in through the "exit".
    -> go to the closed exit gate, you can use the handle from outside
    -> fight through some trolls and get to the other closed gate
    -> then use one of the following methods:
    1. attacking the boss with a gap closer is supposed to work, though I never testet this method
    2. attacking the boss from outside the room is possible, then he'll run to you through the closed gate
    2.1 place yourself between the boss and the gate and wait for his heavy attack that, if not blocked, will knock you into the room OR..
    2.2 ..kill the boss, run to the dungeon entrance and use the portal to port into his room

    when you're in the boss' room use the lever and head back to the big room with the fire in its middle - and tadaa: the big gate is open and will let you reach the final 2 bosses.

    Even on vet, extremely high damage is not required :) She's one of the easier bosses there (The Ancient One indeed is dangerous cause he has enrage mechanic - each of his Force Equilibrium explosions deals significantly more damage, the longer he lives the harder it hits....) Only some heal over time and long lasting AoEs for destroying Feasts required:

    You wrote this up before I could! I agree with everything you've said. I'll just add a bit of info though from what I know.

    • Wayrest Sewers II: Malubeth the Scourger - seems impossible to solo.
    I only have one idea atm, which is to slot the Pheonix set and hope that it grants one free pass from being executed. If it does, this boss is likely soloable with really high DPS. A second free pass on Malubeth's special killing ability may be granted by slotting the Eternal Yokeda set on top of the Pheonix set. Either way, you need to kill the boss before you run out of automatic revives from your set bonuses. It is likely not possible to solo.

    • Fungal Grotto II: Spawn of Mephala - probably soloable. I would be surprised if a Sorcerer is not able to solo this dungeon utilizing a summoned clannfear. You have to be quick on killing adds inside the portals while your pet keeps the boss aggroed otherwise it'll die. I haven't yet tested this to confirm whether or not it is soloable.

    • Crypt of Hearts II: Nerien'eth - This boss may be soloable. I have two ideas for how to take him down. The first would be to place all of your DoTs (perfectly timed) on the boss right before you are targeted by his execution ability in hopes it will be enough to live. My second idea would be to slot Pheonix, and hope it can give you one free chance at survival so you can kill him quickly afterward.

    • Vaults of Madness: Ulguna Soul-Reaver - This boss is soloable. Just gotta keep up HoTs or shields and drop your DoTs. A pet makes it easier but is totally not required.

    • Blackheart Haven: Captain Blackheart - This boss is not soloable on Vet CP160. Unless you are a Heavy Armor Magicka Templar or Heavy Armor Magicka Pet Sorc, and manage to maintain very high survivability/healing even when transformed, this is not a soloable fight imo.

    • Direfrost Keep: Use a knockback ability/get knockbacked through the gate that requires two players to step on pressure plates to open.

    • Cradle of Shadows/Imperial City Prison/White Gold Tower: I dont think anyone else will manage to solo these dungeons. They aren't really doable unless a damage creep overtime makes them much easier. For example, Ibomez the Flesh Sculptor will become an easy solo fight for me in Homestead because of pet buffs.

    • Ruins of Mazzatun: Tree-Minder Ka-Nesh - The key is to dodge the projectile that activates the hallucination mechanic. I know it is dodgeable on Normal but I'm not sure about Vet. Certain armor Sets like Glorious Defender may allow this mechanic to be bypassed. Needs further testing but after soloing 3/4 DLC dungeons I do want to figure out a way.

    • vDSA: I soloed the first stage and most of the second stage one time but quit because I was tired and never attempted it again. It might be possible. Not sure.

    • Normal Hel Ra Citadel: Might have worked on this lately..... Js ;)

    EDIT: Vet ICP's lever mechanism is not usable by any single player, even with Streak. You can open them by simply aggroing the Lord Warden's Council with Caltrops or another AoE ability. You can also get knocked back through the gates.

    The gate leading from the Lord Warden's Council to Lord Warden can only be opened by using the levers, and cannot be passed by knockback abilities. You'll instead have to jump on top of the Lord Warden's Council boss NPCs and use them to knock yourself over the top of the gate to pass them (not through it). This leaves the Lord Warden's Council as the "last boss", since you'll have to return to kill them after slaying the Lord Warden. Iff you don't do it this way you cannot reach Lord Warden solo.

    So many comments bigging up @Vaoh for his solo work. Interesting...

    Last I can recall, @Thelon was solo'ing stuff for the longest of time before it ever became the thing to do, and had threads/footage of him doing so. He was THE PetSorc. The guy even solo'd Mantikora. Come on now. Lol. I also solo'd numerous veteran dungeons myself (on hard mode), and world bosses as well. And plus there are tons of others here on these very forums who solo veteran content. Soooo yeah. Vaoh is not the end all and be all to solo'ing knowledge guys. He's a fantastic player and all, and a great Sorcerer. But, I think there's just a wee bit too much of the not giving credit where it's due. Vaoh solo'd VWGT okay. That's what's up. But it doesn't mean they're the guru of solo'ing content.

    And it's no offense to Vaoh, as he's a solid buddy of mine. And an overall great person.

    I just did this tonight.

    I range attached (heavy staff attack) the boss through the gate after the trolls, backed off a bit and he came straight through it, finished him off then went back to the portal and it teleports you into his room. Once there you can pull the lever which opens the door to the final section with Iceheart and Drodda.

    Thanks for that!

    Didn't offend me in the slightest, mate. I just didn't want it to descend into something it wasn't and end up locked. I've only been doing dungeons for the last month or two and have been frustrated a couple or so times because whilst the dungeons are easy enough solo, I wasn't aware which ones contained +2 player mechanics. saves me time and no doubt will save others from wasting their time. I'm only doing normal runs so I at least know the basics before jumping into vet dungeons and not being a complete burden on others.

    in Direfrost, you can use crit rush (if you have it) at that boss below the upper two pressure plates room. You don't even need to go up there, if you can crit rush at that boss, from the bottom level. Any dungeon that has a boss throw a crippling move on you when there needs to be another to disrupt or to kill an add in order to break-free, is not soloable, i.e., Harvestor boss in WS2, Dranos boss in CoS, boss in FG2 where she has her two adds tie you down, that spider boss that throws you in a cocoon (CoH2?), etc..

    .. and folks are wondering why the developers are upping the game/difficulty and increasing the damages from the adds and bosses. If this is true, then all these soloing feats could be the catalyst. No one toon/player should be able to solo any vet group content/dungeon (within the confine of what is legitimately allowable to be made [builds] in the game.) Something smells fishy!

    Does that still work? A while ago they changed it so that if you are within spitting distance of the bridge she will just reset? But I think you can keep her by the mushrooms to the right side of the bridge.

    I found Spindleclutch 1, Wayrest Sewers 1 and the Banished cells 1 to be the easiest. Crypt of hearts is easy too, but has 3 bosses at the end which was easy for me as a Templar as I simply used that solar ball thingy (the name of the skill escapes me) that splits into 3. I just kited them. I might have struggled a little more on another class, though. Not to say i would have, but that's just my opinion based on how comfortable I am with certain classes.

    What Normal Dung would yous recommened trying to solo first?



    I would try CoA1 first. This has to be the easiest of all group dungeons IMO. It was the first dungeon I solo'd after 1T and is one of the most commonly run dungeons in game- BSW is BiS for most mag builds. No real mechanics to speak of, just burn everything down

    hahaha I just done that in another post. I think it's because the comments get saved when you're in the editing/writing box that you use when posting a message. Can be a pain at times.

    You wrote this up before I could! I agree with everything you've said. I'll just add a bit of info though from what I know.

    • Wayrest Sewers II: Malubeth the Scourger - seems impossible to solo.
    I only have one idea atm, which is to slot the Pheonix set and hope that it grants one free pass from being executed. If it does, this boss is likely soloable with really high DPS. A second free pass on Malubeth's special killing ability may be granted by slotting the Eternal Yokeda set on top of the Pheonix set. Either way, you need to kill the boss before you run out of automatic revives from your set bonuses. It is likely not possible to solo.

    • Fungal Grotto II: Spawn of Mephala - probably soloable. I would be surprised if a Sorcerer is not able to solo this dungeon utilizing a summoned clannfear. You have to be quick on killing adds inside the portals while your pet keeps the boss aggroed otherwise it'll die. I haven't yet tested this to confirm whether or not it is soloable.

    • Crypt of Hearts II: Nerien'eth - This boss may be soloable. I have two ideas for how to take him down. The first would be to place all of your DoTs (perfectly timed) on the boss right before you are targeted by his execution ability in hopes it will be enough to live. My second idea would be to slot Pheonix, and hope it can give you one free chance at survival so you can kill him quickly afterward.

    • Vaults of Madness: Ulguna Soul-Reaver - This boss is soloable. Just gotta keep up HoTs or shields and drop your DoTs. A pet makes it easier but is totally not required.

    • Blackheart Haven: Captain Blackheart - This boss is not soloable on Vet CP160. Unless you are a Heavy Armor Magicka Templar or Heavy Armor Magicka Pet Sorc, and manage to maintain very high survivability/healing even when transformed, this is not a soloable fight imo.

    • Direfrost Keep: Use a knockback ability/get knockbacked through the gate that requires two players to step on pressure plates to open.

    • Cradle of Shadows/Imperial City Prison/White Gold Tower: I dont think anyone else will manage to solo these dungeons. They aren't really doable unless a damage creep overtime makes them much easier. For example, Ibomez the Flesh Sculptor will become an easy solo fight for me in Homestead because of pet buffs.

    • Ruins of Mazzatun: Tree-Minder Ka-Nesh - The key is to dodge the projectile that activates the hallucination mechanic. I know it is dodgeable on Normal but I'm not sure about Vet. Certain armor Sets like Glorious Defender may allow this mechanic to be bypassed. Needs further testing but after soloing 3/4 DLC dungeons I do want to figure out a way.

    • vDSA: I soloed the first stage and most of the second stage one time but quit because I was tired and never attempted it again. It might be possible. Not sure.

    • Normal Hel Ra Citadel: Might have worked on this lately..... Js ;)

    EDIT: Vet ICP's lever mechanism is not usable by any single player, even with Streak. You can open them by simply aggroing the Lord Warden's Council with Caltrops or another AoE ability. You can also get knocked back through the gates.

    The gate leading from the Lord Warden's Council to Lord Warden can only be opened by using the levers, and cannot be passed by knockback abilities. You'll instead have to jump on top of the Lord Warden's Council boss NPCs and use them to knock yourself over the top of the gate to pass them (not through it). This leaves the Lord Warden's Council as the "last boss", since you'll have to return to kill them after slaying the Lord Warden. Iff you don't do it this way you cannot reach Lord Warden solo.

    On fungak grotto II I can say it is soloable. I went in there with a buddy on vet by mistake and we decided to roll with it. On that boss my scamp was on boss and right as I got pulled in my buddy died. So my pet held the boss for me I quickly killed the spiders and got back outside and my pet was still alive and held the fight open. So I could rez. So the pet will hold the boss if you are quick and the clanfear would be better for this.
