Yep, vom is soloable. I only did it in normal as a test, but as long as you time your hots and dots for soul reaver's snare you can do it.

You can solo it on vet too, I think you only need like ~15k DPS to out damage the heals she does while you're stunned

If u r asking for the undaunted quest to join them: U dont need to finish the dungeon. U need to go in, turn around and walk out.
If the question is if its possible to do normal and veteran dungeons on your own, like everybody else here stated: Yes it is for most of them. Additionally, i found soloing veteran dungeons to be easier than doing vma.
If u r asking for the 12 man trials: u can kill the first bosses in the 3 craglorn ones and in mol. After them, there will be "mechanics" requiring more players.

Note there arealso daily undaunted solo quests given by an Orc in any of the enclaves. I would try soloing FG1 in Stonefalls first if I were you. You can skip many of the fights including two boss fights. Which is good because dps-ing bosses without help can be tedious.

Fungal Grotto I on normal is a good benchmark for soloing group dungeons.
If you're having trouble with that one, you aren't ready yet.


PS: You don't have to skip the boss fights there. If you can pull ~10k dps and have a self heal you can wear those bosses down, it will just take some time.

an easy ( at least i think so ) one to solo is nCoA1 ... that's how i farmed BsW, 1 run was about 15-20 mins solo

How did you manage to get past the harvester in wayrest 2? Thought that she grabs you and one shots you if others don't activate the altars?

Honestly, wayrest 2 I did the running-and-screaming way most of the time (defence up (immovable/rune focus and evasion, spam aoes (whatever you got: sun shield, whirlwind and caltrops ... and keep moving plus healing till everything dropped dead), as the mobs are quite challenging (imho) ... but the harvester wasn't a big deal... tough, yes, but it pulled me and thats it, I was out for a few seconds, unable to move or do anything and then I was released. I had to make sure to be at full health or healing (vigor ticks) just before pull or I would have died, but else?

I don't know boss mechanics, as i have run 2 dungeons with others so far and usually just switch to running-and-screaming when its getting difficult (and I am alone). Not much thinking required this way, stay away from red, don't get cornered/nailed stop screaming when everything is dead . Maybe solo is accounted for? Really now I am puzzled.

Most non-dlc dungeons can be soloed on normal. A few can't with mechanics that have you pinned to something or unable to move, mainly Crypt of Hearts 2 and Fungal Grotto 2. I just say have a form of self healing.

FG2 is soloable. You just need to lay your DoTs and a HoT down just before you get pinned and they will kill one of the shadow guys. It's probably easier on a stamina character since they have longer DoTs, giving a little more room for error.

Absolutely

Most normal, non DLC dungeons can be completed solo; just bring some self healing.

I have completed some by myself and I am a ship poor DPS.

Thats good to know. Last time i tried to get past he held me in the air for quite a while until i was dead.

I think darkshade cavern is the easiest dungeon, the only challenging part is the last boss (the sentinel). However, in fungal 1 the very first mob group is a good indicator on wether you can do the dungeon or not. Blast them down and you can do the rest, too. (imho)

Interesting how people don't seem to get the, "being able to solo something meant for multiple players is a HUGE reward in itself". In regards to, "there's no sense of achievement at the end of it"... how can there be no sense of achievement when you did something alone that is designed for multiple players? People whine and complain here all the time about wanting 'difficult content', and here is difficult content, and yet people complain about difficulty and length of time to complete. Well, difficult isn't meant to be quick or easy. Furthermore, many of us play this game SOLO... so yes, being able to solo something meant for a group regardless of how long it takes, is fun and offers a sense of achievement.

I believe you are taking his or her post out of context.

That poster was especially referring to trying to grind dungeons solo for gear. That would indeed be both grueling and draining - and what ever sense of accomplishment there was to be had would dry up quickly.

Soloing dungeons basically just requires a solo-oriented build. That is where most of the challenge is. Which is fine - as building your character correctly for the content at hand has always been an important part of RPG strategy. But in all honesty - spending forever whacking away at a boss's health isn't especially difficult. It's just time-consuming (and often times annoying) and I don't see why anyone should feel some special sense of accomplishment at putting up with it. It's more a test of someone's patience and free time than it is of anyone's skill.

I have also seen players who are able to live through that move-repeatedly-without killing any of the shadows.

I'm not sure how they do it. But there is a way.

altemriel

there are people who soloed veteran white gold tower, which is pretty hard, so yes, it is possible. normal version is easier, but still I guess pretty hard to solo, requires good build and good skill rotation

LadyNalcarya

You cant solo trials, even on normal.
Dungeons are soloable for the most part, but theyre still much faster and easier with a group. If you just want to level up undaunted, its easier to do both non-dlc pledges on normal with random groups. Yes, you might encounter toxic players in group finder, but the majority of playerbase is quite decent.

Anyone know which dungeons cannot be solo'd because of mechanics?

wr2

vom
may be most of DLC

Thank you for listing them!

I started soloing some of the easier normal dungeons at around CP 300, and could beat some bosses on Vet but haven't finished a vet dungeon solo yet. You can solo easy normals at a lower level, CP 300 is just when I first decided to try.

Also, if you run with Grothdar, the proc usually kills the shadow guys pinning you. Plus, soloing dungeons with Grothdar is a great way to overcome being swarmed with enemies.

Vaults of Madness can be soloed on a toon with pets. Sorcerer is the best way to do this. It was the only way I could farm Rattlecage.

To the people that soloed WS2 and FG2 , could you explain how you get past Malubeth and the Spawn of Mephala bosses?

I always end up dying when Malubeth ''grabs your soul'' since there are no people to activate the altars to release me, I was under the impression that she will hold you until you die or altars are activated but I might be missing something.

And in the Spawn of Mephala boss, she always resets when I come back from the room with the little spiders, maybe if you are a sorc and your pet stays fighting with it while you kill the little spiders it could work, but I'm a magblade :c

Also is there any way to solo the last boss of blackheart haven?
