Out of boredom, I decided to try running Oola's Lab HM with my Derv. I was amazed it worked well, and was pretty easy.

Solo Bar: Ogej8xpDLTHQtX3lNQ0kRQ7i4OA (recommended)

Lvl 1

Run and pop last spawn of Xien. Lose all aggro and pull with long/flat bow. Blind Xien and use ebon sin/summon stone to kill. Pick up key....zone.

Lvl 2

Run to Malfunctioning Golem area. Grab flux and take it to charger. (you can use a charged flux drop to kill the imps if you want to) Pull the Malfunctioning Golem to the charger and charge flux drop. (use unseen fury if needed)

Lvl 3

Run to back of boss chamber careful not to aggro either of the flame guardians. Blind TPS and use ebon sin/summon stone to kill. Collect chest!

Hero Method (Not Recommended b/c of exploit)

Your bar:
Ogej8xpDLTHQtX3lNQRQ0kIQceA

and a Rit hero:
OACjEqiMJOXzyZ3sayMlmDzkLA (disable DP sig)

Lvl 1

Flag hero at start. Run exactly like the sin run. Run to the end of the lvl and pop Xien's last spawn. Lose all aggro and pull Xien with a bow. Let him kill you. I know it sounds off but you'll be using the hero zoning trick. Click on your Rit hero and flag them just on the other side of the portal to the outside of the dungeon. They will appear on your corpse, micro SoS and GfB, then DP sig to rez yourself. Xien should die rather quickly....grab the key and zone.

Lvl 2

Flag hero and run to Malfunctioning Golem area. Grab flux and take it to charger. (you can use a charged flux drop to kill the imps if you want to) Pull the Malfunctioning Golem to the charger and charge flux drop. (use unseen fury if needed)

Lvl 3

You can either use your rit hero to clear path to boss or run to the boss and use a summon stone.

Note* if running this for ppl..it is "considered acceptable" to have them help clear path to boss chamber and help kill flame guardians on lvl 3

Thanks!~Take care and Have fun~

You left out the detail whether this is for NM or HM...and any cons usage...

umm, i have been using the hero trick now for years, and you don't have to die to use it... just open your mini map (press U) , go to the start of the dungeon and flag your hero into the portal. no DP = win.

Sorry bout that, HM ofc...I guess you could do NM too, but I'm in it for the drops. As for your question about cons....none are needed, but any speed boost will help you lose aggro easier...i.e...cupcake, candy, bu (stacking w/ dark escape I would only suggest using the minimum if any, as others would only be a waste)also alcohol if your are worried about IAU not being enough KD prevention. I guess until you get used to the run, you might want to take advantage of cons, but like I noted, it can be done w/o any.

Oh... I didn't know that you could use it while alive. Learn something new every day ty.

How did you kill the end boss? I went through first two lvls without any major problem... I couldnt get the end boss killed... Could you please leave some longer description on how you did it. I was using the build with Ebon Sin in it.

Cheers Mentle

I can see your point. Guess I won't be doing that anymore...just have to full solo it.

its not bad..if U take a old way and make good use of it in a new way.

Mentle King:TPS Regulator Golem (UW stones are good..)

and U can put Great Dwarf Weapon on Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support

Ungle, glitching this ain't as bad as Fmaw or duncan... i know friends banned for those two and i use this for years now, not even a single mark of bans...

Nobody has been banned for glitching doors in frostmaws, duncan, or even arachni. Anet doesn't care, and stating false information doesn't help anyone.

Nice find

had some fun time on my derv which was a looong time since I really had fun playing him thx!

It might be...idk for sure. I looked at possible skills and I couldn't find anything comparable to Shroud of Distress in the Ranger line. I have tried to run it with the Ranger primary.....that didn't go too well......lol. If you use speed cons i.e. red candies you could probably run a full Derv bar maybe using conviction as your stance and mystic regen. Shroud and darkescape providing 75% chance to block+7regen<50% health, 25% IMS+50% dmg reduction is really hard to replace.
