Vet Cradle of Shadows HM has now been soloed

Hi everyone, I'v been around on the forums, but just now started posting so please bear with me :)

When I started to play eso I was a solo player, but it didn't go well. I remember very well the first time I picked up an undaunted quest and I got rekt by the first pack of mobs in Banished Cells 1 when I went in alone :# After this, I found out that there was something like a group finder and started using that, together with joining a few guilds. I really never thought again to solo stuff.

That is, untill I found this tread: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/304762/vet-cradle-of-shadows-has-been-soloed/p1
I was amazed by it and decided to see if its still possible. It took some time to figure out as I'm a StamSorc main and stuff works a bit different then it did back then.
One of the most difficult parts was to figure out the Dranos Velador fight. Taunting and tanking with pets is not possible anymore, so I had to find an other way to get through the stun+oneshot mechanic. Luckily I could work something out to still be able to kill him.

The last fight to kill Velidreth was also not that easy, especially on HM. Then finally I got it, I was very happy... untill I went back to the recording and saw I forgot to put it to HM :s
I did get it eventually though. My stupid ass thought I would be getting the skin for doing the HM, but I didn't of course, so now I will be looking if its possible to get a solo no-death+speedrun on vet CoS to be able to get the skin solo :D

Enjoy the vid ;)

    How did you break free (or something like that) from the pin of the adds in the fight with Dranos? They disappeared instantly

    Good job! Now to solo vSCP. There's a video from last year on Reddit.

    AFAIK it has been soloed before, a couple of years ago by a Mag Sorc. At Dranos he used Destro Ulti just about he was to be chained and killed the adds - you can also kill outright instead of interrupting since they have low HP. But on stamina it's much harder. Can't find the video though.

    Thanks. That is a good idea. I haven't thought of that.

    I'm not sure if this will push ZOS to nerf Stamsorcs and 2H builds or if it will encourage them to definitely add a new higher difficulty level to old dungeons like Nightmare or Hard Mode 2.

    Grats by the way. :)

    does that Precognition works for any other roots? Frostvault first boss? Moonhunter first boss?
    Also, i don't see her bloody bugged "don't move a muscle" mechanic. They finaly removed it for good??

    Very good job. I almost want to try it out myself as I already have all the gear, it's my vMA build with different skill bars.

    The Velidreth fight looks a bit scary with all the stamina drain.

    You cant interrupt them because they stun you, a destro ult would prob work indeed, if you get enough ult regen. Its quite a bit more costly then Precognition.

    I used different setups for all fights, but the most important stuff is brawler, critsurge and vma bow with hail. Elude is a life saver in HM

    Yeah I tried evading them as much as possible and had high stam regen. If you run out of stam you are dead.

    Very good job there. Now! With a post like that nerfs could be right around corner. Believe it or not, if I did something like that you will never know - please dont askk why :)

    I do see some need the attention and some don`t - it`s like in the blood.

    Anyway congrats and peace out
