Feel like i should be butthurt, but giggled anyway.

Congratulations and I really get the feeling of achievement; normal Fungal Grotto 1 is the only one I've ever managed to solo as well, although not without any deaths like you (I'm currently, slowly, trying to work my way through the normal level Maelstrom Arena and have reached The Spiral Shadows).

I'm constantly amazed at what some players can achieve (and quite often disheartened by how little I can do); it's great that ESO has enough content and challenges for all levels of players.

Currently doing a mixture of normal and veteran modes of Vaults of Madness solo at the moment. Been doing it over a week, got 2 decent pieces of Rattlecage, need another 4. Never been so bored playing ESO in 3 years.

Here is your cookie.

Nice one bud - welcome to the club.

I did Volenfell once - but took so many tries and was such a pain I don't want to go back there again. it id doable though.

Shame I have a terrible memory for the dungeon names or I'd suggest others for you. Oddly, out of those I have solo'd, I found that switching to vet wasn't much harder at all on some of them - but seemed impossible on others. Give it a go!

Congrats ArchMikem!

I can still remember the feeling when I did my first solo dungeon. Like, standing alone in front of thoses bosses I so far only faced in 4-player groups. Holy sh**. And the elation after they were beaten!

Volenfell becomes easy when you a) move to the large sandy area behind the three bosses and kite the red one around there, and/or b) use the Clannfear pet (I tend to call him "tankfear" ). About b) it might help to know that you can instruct the pet to attack a mob or return to you, by holding the "Command Pet" key and clicking left or right mouse button.

I've noticed Magicka Sorcerers are GREAT at PvE. Most of the time in the Normal Dungeons I didn't even need to use any shields. Just make sure you have Power Surge on at all times and a high enough Crit Chance, and then you just hit everything with AoEs, some Lightning Staff heavy attacks, and a Crystal Shard whenever it procs and you're golden. Every Critical hit you make heals you through your Power Surge. Trust me, I used to HATE Sorcerers, it was so different than my usual Nightblade/Templar playstyle, but I finally found a nice groove and now my MagSorc is pretty much my third Main with how great in PvE it is.

I'll have to try out that spot in Volenfell then, see what happens. If I can effectively start farming it then I can actually get my hands on a set of Treasure Hunter.

Also I do remember hearing something about being able to give commands to your Summons, but I have no idea what the Command key would be on a Console controller.

I did it!

My first Stage II (or whatever it's called) Normal Dungeon completed on my own on my MagSorc. It was the pledge, my Guildmates logged off for the night so I thought I'd just try it once to see how it was. The Infernal guy was no problem, the Keepers were pretty much no problem, the twin Harvester sisters got me a few times but when I remembered to interrupt them it became easier. And Rilis himself was actually really easy for the most part. I got really worried the fall damage from being pushed up into the air would get me but it wasn't as much as I expected, and as long as I kept Power Surge up and as much damage on target as I could, Power Surge's healing kept me safe.

The video is more as proof than an actual showcase of the battle. I didn't realize I could manually start and stop recordings of any length with my console, so I only got the last 30 seconds. But you can see me jump a few times "woo-hoo"-ing at the end.

I also got my first Ilambris's Shoulders I've been hoping for! But it was Well Fitted...

I do want to say though I had more problems with the Trash Mobs between bosses. When there's five or six of them hitting me all at once it overwhelms the healing from Power Surge and they got me a few times. And also want to note, I may be saying that the bosses for the most part were "easy", lol I'm exaggerating, I was gripping the controller the entire time begging not to screw up my rotation, which is a WEIRD thing to say, I've never had an actual rotation before.
