Where's the stupidest place you've ever tried to solo and how many times did you die?

Mandrel8 · September 2015

My stupidest solo (so far) has to be Bonesnap. Got to the end of it and realised I didn't have the skyshard. Doh!
Luckily, a bunch of other dudes came along at that point, so I was able to nip back in for the shard.

Volenfell, way back when. Was trying to do it with a Nightblade before stamina morphs, could have done it with a couple of Magicka builds, or a Temp.

Arunei · September 2015

Darkshade Caverns. I died like 10 times before I finally asked some Guildies to help clear it. Didn't realize until then that it was a Group Dungeon and not a Public one lol.

RAGUNAnoOne · September 2015

Fungal grotto died 2 times before leaving... somehow was able to get into the undaunted

Aetherderius · September 2015

I suicide ran the Vile Manse and died about 5 times. Only bothered with 2 fights.

NewBlacksmurf · September 2015

Prob the first time I went to Craglorn...on PC when it first released and I was maybe Vr3ish and a Templar.

the IC because zergs everywhere

Rahni'za sword school in 1.5. I wasted so many tripots on that damn arena. The final wave would usually drain my stam, after which the bosses would come in and spam hard CC at me and that was it for my squishy-while-stunned magicka DK.

I tried it again recently on my Templar and solo'd it without that much effort. Thanks champion system.

For me it would be the Lion's Den. Either my build was absolute crap or it was glitchy as fudge. Level 38-40ish zone my ass! Was level 48, died so many times for just basic mobs, hid in a corner and waited till some-one came and helped! Left and found out I hadn't even killed the optional bosses. T.T

Ch4mpTW · September 2015

I'd have to say Craglorn, however no particular area to be specific. Just Craglorn. But to be specific about the monster type? Wasps. Fighting those even when I was a fresh VR14 was still near impossible solo. A single mod of wasps would just annihilate me. Lol.

CapnPhoton · September 2015

Craglorn at v1.

Acrolas · September 2015

I was like VR4 and I saw a group of four Welwa in Craglorn, and I was like, why not? I got this. But then more Welwa kept coming out of a hole in the rock so there I was, truckin' it down the road with ten slathering beasts trying to eat me.

Surprise Welwa are not fun.

Mossimo · September 2015

Fearfangs Cavern Craglorn. Could do many other delves solo, that one I have yet to beat, and still have not been able to beat it even when I brought in a friend to tank for me.

kamimark · September 2015

Craglorn delves. I can solo them except the bosses that summon adds instead of calling over existing adds. I could clear the trash, hide, and then solo the boss, but if they magically create soldiers, I'm doomed. I usually give up after a few deaths, if I'm not making obvious progress.

Of course the Craglorn wasps. My CC is ground-based, so unless I change my skill bar around, they demolish me and I maybe kill one per attack run.

Craglorn's just a mean trick, the only high-level PVE in the game can't really be played solo; if I wanted to be in a group I'd do PVP or dungeons!

Mighty_oakk · September 2015

Craglorn starting quest chain. I made it to the point where you need 3 people to stand on things simultaneously. I tried standing on them in various rotations faster and faster for about 15min

Ace_of_Destiny · September 2015

When I first started playing...oh sooo long ago...I foolishly tried to solo the Outlaws Refuge outside of Daggerfall...oh...how hilarious times ensued!

Enodoc · September 2015

Imperial City. 57.

UrQuan · September 2015

One of the district bosses in Imperial City. It was a bad idea. Like, a really bad idea. I don't think you're meant to try to take them on with fewer than about a dozen people.

A group of 5 of us took one on the other day, and we won, but it was a really long fight that involved each of us dying multiple times. We never wiped though!

bareheiny · September 2015

Newt Cave in Cyrodiil.

Not even l40...but was chasing that Skyshard.

Stupid V ranked trolls everywhere

Van_0S · September 2015

Craglorn.

Sentinel · September 2015

Shada's Tear.

All I remember of that day was calling through guild chats begging for repair kits.

Mandrel8 · September 2015

57 deaths is the most excellent 'never give in and never surrender' attitude! Every time I solo somewhere dumb and use up large quantities of my impressive stack of soul gems and repair kits (this is why I'm skint all the time), I swear I won't do it again. But then there's that last sky shard to get in an area. And the promise of XP and loot. And there I am AGAIN lurking about in some doorway thinking 'surely some other dude is going to appear sooner or later in this godforsaken, back of beyond place?' but no. So - in we go. I swear I have never died SO many times in any game as I have in ESO!

stojekarcub18_ESO · September 2015

IC. Arboretum. Trying to do the quest there. EP/AD were teaming up to camp our spawn. Times like this I wish there was a /moon emote.

Ezareth · September 2015

I did Tempest Island last night at Vet 16 solo for the undaunted pledge and I don't want to think about how many deaths or repairs I had, at least 50.

The last boss was so stupid with knockbacks and AoE hitting me I wasn't close to but I was victorious in the end.

Tried 2-manning that once...couldn't do the final boss, needed a third. Many props to you for solo'ing it!

Shunravi · September 2015

I'd go with Shadas or DSA. Too many deaths. Fun though...

Good thing I have guildies that collect things like shards and repair kits.

What he said.
Planning for adds is a stealth game plan, but miracle immaculate conception of such from thin air sucks.
Wasps are easy with veil of blades, though it took me many, many deaths to learn that.
But the worst, & I've been given a game plan now to implement here, is that Egg-Laying Mother in the little cave near the Arena in Craglorn...it's hard enough to get through all the gold bar trash to get at her, then she dumps 37.5k burst every 12 seconds, interwoven with four to six 4-6k light attacks that snare between bursts.
