Laugh at me if you will, but.......

Hippie4927

After four and a half years, I can finally solo some of these dungeons! I had been trying and trying but all I did was die so I gave up for a while. In the last week or so, I have solo'd Fungal Grotto 1, Spindleclutch 1, Banished Cells 1, Darkshade Caverns 1, and Crypt of Hearts 1. I am soooo proud of myself! LOL!

I know some of you will find this laughable because those dungeons are a piece of cake for you. Go ahead and laugh at me......I can take it. My main is a magplar so I should, at least, be able to stay alive, right? But I struggled for so long!

What are some other dungeons that are good to run solo?

GJ mate Most dungeons are soloable, but some has mechanics that you'll need an ally to help you (FG2, CoH 2, Direfrost used to be like that but I think they fixed pressure plates?), otherwise all non DLC dungeons should be fine.

Danikat

You're doing better than me! The best I can do is managing to sneak past the first few enemies, then I die as soon as any notice me because a huge group rushes me.

Rake

ok

rabidmyers

hell yeah friend, grats!

Oberstein

you need to solo march of sacrifices

Hippie4927

@Oberstein Funny! I may never be ready to solo DLC dungeons! lol

Direfrost you can flip the levers through the door, so it's totally solo'able.

@Hippie4927 Tempest island and Arx are a lot of fun to solo

*high fives and pats on the back* Nice, man! I'm such a 'low' casual player, I can't even do that!

City of Ash 1 is another one of the easier ones to solo. Selene's was the only of the "1" dungeons I really struggled with when I started soloing them, apart from Direfrost which I needed to find help with for the pads!

Vaults of Madness was my first and still my favorite to run solo. Congrats

Stratloc

You can easily add Elden Hollow 1 to that bunch. Also Vaults of Madness is great fun and not hard. Blackheart Haven and Blessed Crucible are also absolutely doable. Oh, and Volenfell!

I don't know what class you play but, for my templar, the mobs were the easy part. When I approach them, I throw my spears then throw down blockade and use punturing sweeps to finish them off. The bosses were MY problem!

Thank you to everyone who is giving me suggestions for other dungeons to try.

Last boss on Blackheart can be a pain because of the skeleton polymorph he does.

Thanks for reminding me.....I did do Elden Hollow. I forgot about that one.

Why should anybody laugh about it?
You are getting better and as you told us youre proud of yourself isnt that all that counts?

At the beginning till v13 i played a dk with dualwield and shockstaff and on top of that i didnt know anything
Now im cp 1000+ and i killed valkyn skoria yesterday alone in vcoa2

Its all about practice and things you need to know
Keep going as you do^^

My favourite Dungeon to try out new builds and rotations is Darkshade Caverns. It’s not too easy and not too long. You have a good variety of Boss types, Humans, bugs, Netch, Dwemer Constructs etc.

I often do DS I, and sometimes DS II (with no ambition of IIs end boss, but knowing I can solo up to that is what I’m seeking to test my survivability).

I’ve taken some people there for tutoring as well. Works good for me.

If I wasn’t playing on NA from Sweden maybe soloing these would be easier lol (ping ~250-300).

Good job and good luck!

Congrats! I think it's great to set and work towards such an achievement and absolutely should be proud of doing it!

Tryxus

Why would we laugh with that?

Congratz and good luck with future endeavors

Volenfell.
It's been my fist after CoA1 and I suggest you these next, last bosses in volenfell there is a LOT of running around if you aren't fast, took me really forever back then, slotted rapid in the end and stamina pots. I think while in group can be kind of a boring place, it's fun to solo and good place for practice.
And congratulation for your progress!

I guess I thought people would laugh because it took me so long to get here! But in my defense, I am almost 70 and have limited use of my hands. Rotations and constant weapon swapping are almost impossible for me.

But, yeah, I was jumping up and down, yelling "I did it! I did it! I did it!" like a little kid. lol

And, thank you everyone for being so supportive.

Sylvermynx

High five to you! Congratulations, wish I had better internet so I could try that myself. I'm almost 71, my hands are fine, but satellite is all I have for connection and with that kind of lag, I can't bar swap etc. either!

I think it's great that you've evolved to this point!

Well done OP.

I only soloed one once just to see if I could do it but they don't interest me that much so once was enough. I only do them if farming for gear or doing undaunted dailies when leveling the skill line - and 2 manning normal mode gets the job done real easy.
