Ruins of Mazzatun final boss solo

Xenofex · March 2017

Hello,
Is it possible to kill final boss (Tree-Minder Na-Kesh) in solo? He injects me with hallucination and I don`t know which statue to destroy. Is there a way?!

I don't think so. Could be wrong. But anyway, why in Tamriel would you want to solo RoM?

May the luck be with you .

It's the only way . or ... you can burst .. if you have 70K dps without buff ... of course .

I don't think so, even theoretically, since you won't know which statue to attack and you will have to try them all. In the mean time the boss, adds, maybe a totem or miniboss will beat on you, which makes it basically impossible - you can't damage them with your "skill" but it will taunt them.

Yes it seems that way.

Pity that Zenimax did not script for solo...

Well, dungeons are thought out to be group content from the outset. They play the same mechanics regardless if there is just 1 player, 2, 3 or a full complement of 4. And you probably won't even reach the last boss in Mazzatun if you play solo because you can't carry the spice alone in veteran. At some point it will slow you down and you will have to throw it. Once thrown you can't pick it up again while you glow green. Also while carrying it you are silenced so you can't deal damage or heal yourself. Although in normal it's possible to carry it the full length of the tunnels where you first encounter it and drop it in the spring, and that's even possible at Xal-Nur, in practice it's not since if there's nobody tanking him he will charge you and probably kill you, not to mention trolls, archers and other adds that spawn at that time. The wamasu takes care of those but not instantly. I'm not sure what happens if you are a sorc and have a summoned pet if you pick up the spice, if it stays or gets automatically unsummoned. If it stays it could "tank" the boss while you walk to the spring. While I played a lot with sorcerer DDs, they usually unsummon the scamp there because it has the bad habit of running around and releasing another wamasu by killing the handler. Most group content that has been soloed has been soloed by pet sorcerers.

maybe 5 yukeda would work if you die during statue phase and revive bacn to normal, but then again, you can only afford to get statued once.

I actually managed to get to the final boss in solo (normal mode) with magicka sorcerer. I could carry spice for a moment and then drop it and then carry it again (slicing the distance).

Pure solo? No. But you can bring in a sacrificial lamb. Pull in any random person from zone to join you on the final boss. Slot a taunt on your back bar, and make sure you have the boss taunted. The ensures that the patsy always gets the hallucination, not you, and as long as they don't die during hallucination, you'll never get it, so it doesn't matter if they actually kill the statue or not.

It's something that I do if I get nRoM as a random normal and the group isn't very good--I'll slot a taunt (even if I'm not the tank--I'll tell the tank to not taunt) to make sure that I don't get the hallucination, and just burst the boss down.

If you did, please share the video, you'll be the first.

I did not make video, since I did not know that someone would be interested in watching it. Killing Xal-Nur was hard (I died like 15 times) but not insanely hard. I have 29k hardened ward and if you time it perfectly then you can survive. I did it on NORMAL, not on veteran.

Good on you for trying, if you can do vet malestrom without dying to get the flawless title, you'll have high chance of soloing it.

You can dodge the Amberplasm and not hallucinate.

I think they fixed that exploit. It was doable right after launch but got fixed a short time after. I tried dodging it both as healer and tank (I was running shuffle with Tava's and I auto-dodged) recently, the dodge displays the animation, but you still get affected by the scripted effect.
