Full Tyria Solo Tour
Hi there,
While making this thread I was actually suprised by the possibilities of the Warrior so I decided to try some other regions namely: The Crystal Desert The Ring of Fire Islands The Underworld The Fissure of Woe If you don't want to read the whole thread but just want to search for a specific place, press: Ctrl + F and type your place name. Alright, lets begin with the Crystal Desert. I'm already able to solo the following places: Crystal Desert: Prophet's Path Skyward Reach The Scar Diviner's Ascent Vulture Drifts The Arid Sea And the following missions: The Dragon's Lair Places / Missions I haven't tried yet: Salt Flats Elona Reach Thirsty River Dunes of Despair Prophet's Path W/R Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Wilderniss Survival: 11 Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 9 (8+1) Tactics 14 (11+3) Skills: Sever Artery Apply Poison Riposte Deadly Riposte Melandru's Resilience {E} Troll Unguent Dolyak Signet Healing Signet You can enter Prophet's Path from 3 different places so I'll just explain you how to kill each kind of monster because you can take each route you want. Desert Griffons: Kill them using your Ripostes. Make sure Dolyak Signet is on. Jade Scarabs: Those are harder, their life-stealing skills ignores armor so you have to use your Ripostes to kill them. Use healing signet when possible. Losaru: There are 4 differnt Losaru: Bladehands, Bowmaster, Lifebands and Windcasters. When fighting them, attack the Lifebands first while using your Ripostes to take the Bladehands out at the same time. Minotaurs: Make sure Dolyak Signet is on when possible, use Apply Poison and your Ripostes to take them out. Rockshot Devourer Apply Poison should be enough. Sand Elementals: Those are the hardest, kill them using Power Attack and heal whenever its possible. Make sure to lure them so you won't agro all of them. Sand Wurms: 4 words: Riposte and Deadly Riposte. Scarab Nest Builder: Those creatures may look like Rangers because of there traps but they still use melee attacks so they will trigger your Ripostes. Marrow Scarab: Those are hard because of their Virulence. This is way you brought Melandru's Resilience. When they use Virulence, cast Melandru's Resilience and Troll Unguent. Rock-Eater Scarab: Because of their frenzy, they take double damage. 2 or 3 Ripostes should be enough. Blue dots: Jade Scarabs, Scarab Nest Builders, Marrow Scarab, and Rock Eater Scarabs Black dots: Losaru Pink dots: Sand Wurms Red dots: Sand Elementals Skyward Reach W/Me Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Inspiriation Magic: 2 Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 11 (10+1) Tactics 15 (12+3) Skills: Sprint Sever Artery Riposte Deadly Riposte Victory is Mine! {E} Elemental Resistance Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Step 1: When entering Skyward Reach you'll see allot of Hydra's. Make sure u've a with +45/-2 stance shield and cast Elemental Resistance before going into battle. Slash them with Sever Artery and use your Ripostes whenever its possible. Also make sure that you don't agro to much Hydra's. Step 2: Move on and kill all the Hydra's you'll see. The drops are pretty good here. Step 3: You'll face some Losaru's too. When fighting them, attack the Lifebands first while using your Ripostes to take the Bladehands out at the same time. After you've killed them, go after the Windcasters. Step 4: If you took the right way you should face some Enchanted. Attack the archers first and use your Ripostes to kill the Warriors at the same time. Step 5: Go on untill you've cleared everything else. Red dots: Hydra's Blue dots: Enchanted Black dots: Losaru Diviner's Ascent W/Me Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Inspiriation Magic: 2 Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 11 (10+1) Tactics 15 (12+3) Skills: Sprint Sever Artery Riposte Deadly Riposte Gladiator's Defense Physical Resistance Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Step 1: The first thing you'll mention when you entered Deviner's Ascent are the large groups of Sand Drakes. They are quite easy to kill and their drops are also good. The Sand Drakes ussualy spawn in groups of 3 or 4, use your Ripostes and Gladiator's Defense to kill them. Step 2: When fighting the Drakes, some Rock-Eater Scarabs, Jade Scarabs and/or Rockshot Devourers might pop up. Kill the Jade Scarabs first, the Rock-Eater Scarabs are easy because of their Frenzy. Save the Rockshot Devourers for the last. Step 3: You should face some bosses in this area but don't worry. They shouldn't be a problem if you follow my tactics which I gave you above. Step 4: There should be 2 Sand Wurms in this area. Kill them using your Ripostes and make sure Dolyak Signet is on. Step 5: Now you can just clear everthing else with the tactics I gave you above. Black dots: Sand Drakes Pink dots: Sand Wurms Red dots: Hydra's The Scarabs are all over the place. Vulture Drifts W/N Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 11 (10+1) Tactics 15 (12+3) Skills: Sprint Power Attack Riposte Deadly Riposte Gladiator's Defemse Plague Touch Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Step 1: When you entered Vulture Drift you'll see a group of Enchanted in your way. Attack the rangers first with Power Attack. Kill the Enchanted Sword and Enchanted Hammer using your Ripostes. When the Rangers cast Throw Dirt, use Plaque Touch to cleanse youselve from blind. Step 2: Clear all the enchanted using those tactics. Watch out with aggroing to much of them, they might be hard when there are a allot of them. When you face some Grifons, take them out with your Ripostes Step 3: There are allot of Sand Wurms in this area at a special spot. Take them out one by one with your Ripostes. There might be some Sand Elementals too, kill them with Power Attack Step 4: You should face some Hydra's too. Kill them with your Ripostes and if there is a boss around them, just kill him too for the Moral Boost Step 5: When you go to the North-West, you'll face allot of Jade Scarabs and Sand Giants. They are the hardest creatures in this area so don't agro more then 3-5 of them or you're death. Step 6: Kill everything else. Black dots: Sand Wurms Red dots: Enchanted Blue dots: Scarabs and Sand Giants The Arid Sea W/N Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 11 (10+1) Tactics 15 (12+3) Skills: Sprint Power Attack Riposte Deadly Riposte Gladiator's Defemse Plague Touch Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Step 1: The first thing you'll see is a Sand Wurm. Kill it with your Ripostes. Step 2: Go straight on and you should see some Sand Giants and Scarabs. Again, those are hard so use Healing Signet whenever its possible. Step 3: When you go to the old ruins, you'll see allot of Enchanted. Kill the Enchanted Bows first with your Power Attack. When you attack them, use your Ripostes to take the Warriors out in the same time. Use Plaque Touch when blinded. Step 4: Clear the city and everything else. Block dots: Scarabs and Sand Giants Pink dots: Sand Wurms Red dots: Enchanted Tomb of the Primeval Kings After days of changing my build for soloing The Tombs of the Primeval Kings I finally decided to post it. On my first screenshots you should see me as a Me/X. I changed to a Me/Rit to make the build saver. I'm able to solo stage 1 but I advise you guys to take one of the Zaishen Monks for in case you die. Stage 2 is much harder so I still need to tweak the build a bit, maybe some of you can help me out! Attribute Points: Skills: Ether Feast Empathy Spirit of Failure Resilient Weapon Wielder's Boon Elemental Resistance Mantra of Resolve Signet of Midnight Note: you should see other skills in some of these screenshots then I gave you above, use the Me/Rit build Step 1: I advise you guys to take 1 Zaishen Monk hench since you can order her. Let her stand at the place where you spawn and run forward while casting Mantra of Resolve. Step 2: Stop at the bottem of the bridge and use Spirit of Failure on the Scythe of Chaos which should be on the other side on the bridge. A Grasp of Insanity should come to you. Use Signet of Midnight to blind him, cast empathy and again Spirit of Failure on the Grasp. Step 3: When the Grasp is down, cast Empathy and Spirit of Failure on each Scythe of Chaos. Step 4: Continue to the next group while standing under the bridge. Cast Spirit of Failure on one of the Scythe of Chaos. When the Grasp is coming to you, use Signet of Midnight, Empathy and Spirit of Failure Step 5: Sometimes a group of 3-4 Grasps pop up under/near the bridge. Kill them using the Midnight, Empathy, Failure technice and make sure that only one is attacking you. Step 6: Lure the Banished Dream Riders which should be on your right with a flatbow. Lure them to your spawnpoint and kill them using Empathy and Spirit of Failure. Make sure Mantra of Resolve is always on! Step 7: Continue killing the next group with the same tactics I gave you above. Step 8: Kill all the other groups and save the Terrorweb Dryders for the last. Step 9: Lure the Terrorweb Dryder's to your spawn point so the two Acolyte's will help you killing them. They don't steal your drops so don't worry about that. Step 10: Kill the last group with the now famous wall-hiding tactics. Step 11: Good job! You've know cleared stage one! I was able to clear a little bit of stage 2 but I need something extra to kill the Terrorwebs. If you guys have any advise, give them! The Dragon's Lair Step 1: When you enter stage 1, kill the Enchanted hammers and swords with your Ripostes. The monks should not heal them. Step 2: Don't bother killing the monks, just walk slowly forward to the Facet of Light so the monks won't heal the Facet. Make sure to interupt his Shield of Regeneration. Step 3: Next stage, kill the enchanted hammers and sword with your Ripostes. Step 4: Kill the Enchanted Bows with your Final Thrust but they blind you so this can take a while. Step 5: Kill the Facet of Nature with your Final Thrust and GB when you're low on health Step 6: This stage is very easy, just kill the spiders with your final thrust. Step 7: Kill the Facet of Chaos while using your Ripostes and GB. Step 8: Kill everything with your Ripostes but watch out for their Corps Explotion. Step 9: Kill the Facet of Darkness with GB and your Ripostes but watch out! He'll use Grenth's Balance against you. Screenshots and guide of the last 2 stages will come soon  The Southern Shiverpeaks I'm able to solo the following places: Lornar's Pass Snake Dance Grenth's Footprint Witmans Folly Ice Floe Talus Chute Mineral Springs Tasca's Demise Missions Iron Mines of Moladune Ice Caves of Sorrow Places/Missions I haven't tried yet: Spearhead Peak Ice Dome Dreadnought's Drift Thunderhead Keep I've added only 2 movies yet. They are both from the Ice Caves of Sorrow guide, I'll add more soon Ok the beginning of the Southern Shiverpeaks is in Lornar's Pass so I decided to begin there. Here is what I did. __________________________________________________ _______________ Lornar's Pass Drops: Drops are ok, a lot of weapons which u can sell for at least 50gp at the merchant. Chests drops are mostly gold so don't forget keys. Equipment: Flatbow for Pulling mobs 15^50 Zealous sword of Defense. +15%dmg while in a stance Zealous sword of Defense. +30 hp / -5 (20% change) shield +45 hp / -2 while in a stance shield +60 hp / -3 while hexed shield Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 11 (10+1) Tactics 15 (12+3) Skills: Sever Artery Epidemic Victory is Mine! {E} Riposte Deadly Riposte Dolyak Signet Elemental Resistance Healing Signet Step 1: Ok when you're in Lornar's Pass, go to the right. You'll see 1 or 2 Ice Imps with 1 or 2 Pinesouls. Use Elemental Resistance before you're going to attack, then use Sever Artery on the first Ice Imp and IF the other foe's are near them use Epidemic followed by Victory is Mine! Step 2: If you want to solo 100% of Lornar's Pass you can also go to the left and kill the other Ice Imps, Ice Golems and Avicara. *Note: When fighting Ice Imps and Ice Golems, always use Elemental Resistance and switch to your +45hp / -2 stance shield!* Step 3: Follow the road but watch out for the Frost Wurms. When they pop up, use your reposites to kill them. You can also switch to your +60 hp/ -3 shield when he casts Suffering. Step 4: When you're at the beginning of the cave, try to lure the Avicara and kill them using Sever Artery, Epidemic, Reposites and Victory is Mine! Step 5: Keep following the road and kill everthing you see. When you attack the Ice Golems, they'll cast Rust on you. Use your Elemental Resistance and Dolyak Signet to stay alive. Step 6: Follow the road and go into the cave on your right hand. Also, dont forget the fight the Crone's and the Ice Golems. Step 7: The Mountain Trolls might be hard but if u use your Ripostes, Sever Artery, Epidemic and your Victory is Mine wisely you'll make it. Step 8:: When you're outside the cave while following the road, 3 Frost Wurms will pop up. Again, use your reposites and ViM! wisely. Red dots: Ice Wurms Good luck killing them and don't forget to kill the group Crone's at the end of the way. Step 9: Make your way down to all the Ice Golems, Pinesouls, Ice Imps etc. untill you're in Dreadnoughts Drift. __________________________________________________ _______________ Snake Dance Snake Dance is the second place i'll solo.

Attribute points: Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 11 (10+1) Tactics 15 (12+3) Skills: Sprint Sever Artery Riposte Deadly Riposte Gladiator's Defense Physical Resistance Dolyak Signet Healing Signet *Note: In my screenshots you'll see the skill Elemental Resistance in stead of Physical Resistance, use PR* Step 1: When you enter Snake Dance, take the right way and you'll see 2 Blessed Griffons. Try to lure them so the Azure Shadows won't pop up. After you killed those Griffons using your reposites, walk forward until the Shadows pop up. Use Dolyak Signet so you won't be knocked-down while they cast their Signet of Judgement. Step 2: After you killed them you'll see alot of groups with 1 Dolyak Master and 3 Summit Giant Herders. Attack the Dolyak Master and use your ripostes against the Herders. Do not try to kill the Dolyak Master; its useless. Step 3: Follow the road untill you see the huge group of Mountain Trolls. Try to lure them in smaller groups but don't worry if you agro them all: cast Physical Resistance and Dolyak Signet and take your +45hp / -2 stance shield. Again, use your Ripostes and Gladiators Defense wisely. Step 4: Make your way through the cave and kill the other Mountain Trolls. When you go to the left you'll see some Tundra Giants. Kill them again with your mighty Ripostes. *Note: Tundra Giants will use melee attacks when you stand next to them.*. Step 5: Just follow the road to the west and keep killing all the Tundra Giants and Azure Shadows with the tactics I gave you. __________________________________________________ _______________ Grenth's Footprint First of all I want to say that i should never be able to solo GF without this build: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3006532 Made my Lambda the Great. I changed some skills though but using Grenth's Balance was a godly idea. Thank you Lambda. PS: You can better read Lambda's thread than this part of the Solo Tour, Lambda is more experienced in soloing GF then me. Although here is my way to solo GF. Drops: Greens! Also summit axes and armors drop here a lot. Many gold drops too. Equipment: +20%Dmg (Hexed) Zealous sword of Dwarvenslaying +30 hp / -2 while in a stance shield +60 hp / -3 while hexed shield Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 11 (10+1) Tactics 15 (12+3) Skills: Grenth's Balance Riposte Deadly Riposte Sever Artery Final Thrust Distracting Blow Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Step 1: When you enter Grenth's Footprint, walk down and lure the first group of mobs with a bow. The dwarf at the top of the hill will follow, and heal you. Use your Ripostes on the Carvers and your Sever Artery on the Rangers. Slay the Ice Golems with your Final Thrust. Do not use Sever Artery on the Gnashers, they will cast Plague Touch. Step 2: Fight your way down to the Highpriest and accept his quest. Now you have a personal Dwarven-monk  .Keep fighting using the tactics i gave you. So far I was able to kill the following bosses: Thorgall Bludgeonhammer Flint Fleshcleaver Gorrel Rockmolder Morgriff Shadestone Again, this part of the Solo Tour could not be done without Lambda.

If you dont want to kill them, you can just run. Step 2: Walk down and take the right way on the icy river, you'll see some Tundra Giants and also some Azure Shadows will pop up. Step 3: Just follow the road and kill all the other Tundra Giants and Mountain Trolls. Step 4: When you can choose between 2 different routes, you can take the left or the right. Left way: this is the shortest way, you'll will see some Stone Summits fighting with White Mantles so you can again just run past them. Right way: this is the longest way, you'll see some White Mantles, just kill them Step 5: Slonak Copperbark. You'll face this dude when you're down the hill. Just kill him using Grenths Balance, riposte and deadly riposte.*Note: only use Grenths Balance while your health is below 150!* Step 6: Go straight on untill you see an entrance at the right, enter it, follow the road, and killl the Mountain Trolls. Step 7: When you see a bridge, just go straight on and do not go to the left. Now you'll encounter some Blesssed Griffons. Watch out for their Symbol of Wrath and use your ripostes. Step 8: Follow the road untill you see the boss: Balt Duskstrider. some Azure Nightmares will pop up too. This part might be hard but use your Grenth's Balance on Balt Duskstrider and your ripostes and you'll will be fine. Step 9: Use sprint while running into the cave, a lot of Azure Nightmares will pop up. Just run untill you see the moviescreen. You're at the seer now Step 10: Kill Ceru Gloomrunner Step 11: Kill the Eidolon and the other Azure Nightmares with your Ripostes. Step 12:After you returned the Spectral Essence to the seer, continue killing Mursaat and White Mantles all the way to Markis Me vs Markis Almost got him..I took of my armor so i could use Grenth's Balance faster but I didn't pay enough attention at the end and he killed me with a critical hit  Another build though..will show it soon when I'm 100% done with tweaking it __________________________________________________ _______________ Witmans Folly Drops: Armors! Got 1 minor vigor, strength and tactics on my first run. Intricate Grawl Necklaces drops here a lot which can be sold to the collector near the entrance of Port Sledge Equipment: Flatbow Zealous sword of Defense +15% dmg (while in a stance) Zealous sword of Defense 15^50 +30hp / -5 (20% change) shield +45hp / -2 stance shield Armor: Full gladiators with Ascalon helm Attribute points: Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 11 (10+1) Tactics 15 (12+3) Skills: Power Attack Final Thrust Riposte Deadly Riposte Gladiator's Defense Elemental Resistance Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Step 1: When you walk out of Port Sledge, go to the right and kill all the Grawls if they are there. If they dont spawn there, kill all the Azure Shadows using your reposites which will pop up after a short walk. Also use your Elemental Resistance here and switch to your +45 hp / -2 stance shield. Step 2: Follow the road and kill all the other Azure Shadows using the same tactics as i gave u above. *Note: Make sure that Dolyak Signet and Elemental Resistance are always on while fighting the Shadows* You can leave Maak Frostfriend alive if you face him. Step 3: Make your way through all the other shadows untill you are at the famous place with Crawls all over the place. Step 4: First you've to kill all the Crawls using your Ripostes and Gladiators Defense. After that u can cast Elemental Resistance and switch to your +45hp / -2 stance shield to kill the Crawl Crones *Note: You probaly have seen another build in these screenshots then I wrote above. Use the skill set I've written above, the Crones will use plague signet* The screenshots after this sentence will show u the correct build. Just kill all the Grawls and the Crawl Crones in your way. If you think a group is to big, try to lure some of them to make it easier. __________________________________________________ _______________ Tasca's Demise Drops: Drops are good; fellblades, summit axes, summit hammers and a lot of dwarven armors which will salvage into steel ingots. Equipment: +20%Dmg (Hexed) Zealous sword of Dwarvenslaying +30 hp / -2 while in a stance shield +60 hp / -3 while hexed shield Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 11 (10+1) Tactics 15 (12+3) Skills: I have tried 2 builds yet and they both work fine. Skill set 1: Grenth's Balance Bonetti's Defense Riposte Deadly Riposte Distracting Blow Plague Touch Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Skill set 2: Sever Artery Riposte Deadly Riposte Gladiator's Defense {E} Elemental Resistance Physical Resistance Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Both of the skill sets are OK but Skill set 2 is easier IMO. I'm not able yet to clear all of Tasca's Demise but i've already done a part of it. Step 1: When you enter Tasca's Demise, run to the right wall so you avoid the "ambush". Take a break at the Res shrine untill you see a dwarven patrol coming your way. Kill them using either Physical Resistance, Dolyak Signet and your ripostes or your ripostes and Grenths Balance. *Note: only use healing signet when either Bonettie's Defense or Gladiators Defense is on!* Use Sever Artery or Plague Touch on the rangers. Step 2: Now you've killed the patrol, head back to the 2 groups of Dwarves. Lure the first group with your flatbow and try to stay behind the wall so the Rangers/Gnashers won't hit you. Step 3: You can do the same with the second group but you can better leave them there in case you die. You can get rid of your DP here easy. Now turn around untill you see the large group of Stone Summit. This is a hard part and you might die. There should be 2 gnashers and 5-6 warriors in this group. Leave the gnashers and cast Physical Resistance and Dolyak Signet. Kill the warriors with your Ripostes and Gladiators Defense. After you killed all the warriors, walk back because there will be a lot of Bone Fiends. If you died, you can kill the second group in the begin of Tasca's Demise. You can also wait a minute so the Bone Fiends will be dead when you return. Now there are only 2 Gnashers left. Kill them. Ok now go straight on untill you see a large bridge. Wait there and a patrol with 1 Dolyak Master, Herders and some Carves will come your way. Use Gladiators Defense and your Ripostes so the Master don't know who to heal. Step 5: Now, you won't be able to kill the Dolyak Master (you should be able to do it with the Grenth's Balance build but it will take some time). Head back, lure some other dwarves and keep on killing with the same tactics i gave you. You can also head back and take the right way so you'll face 3 Ice Golems. This is hard but if you use Elemental Resistance and Dolyak Signet, you can kill them. Here is a map with some details: Red: Dwarven Ambush Blue: Dwarven Patrols Yellow: Ice Golems. __________________________________________________ _______________ Talus Chute Drops: Fellblades, armors which you can salvage into steel and leather, Long Swords and other stuff which you can sell for 50 + to the merchant. Equipment: Flatbow Zealous sword of Defense +15% dmg (while in a stance) Zealous sword of Defense 15^50 +30hp / -5 (20% change) shield +45hp / -2 stance shield Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 11 (10+1) Tactics 15 (12+3) Skills: Sever Artery Riposte Deadly Riposte Gladiator's Defense {E} Elemental Resistance Physical Resistance Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Step 1: When you enter Talus Chute, go straight on untill you see the first group of Avicara. Sometimes there might be some Mountain Trolls too. Kill the warriors using your Ripostes and the Archers using Sever Artery. Step 2: Take the left way into the famous Mountain Troll Cave. You can either lure a group or take them all at once. Use Physical Resistance and Dolyak Signet to take minumum damage. Kill them using Gladiators Defense and your Ripostes. Step 3: Now you can take the left or the right way. You'll face Krogg Smush or Whuump Wuumbuul. Kill them with Sever Artery and your Ripostes. Step 4: Take the right exit of the Troll Cave and you'll face some Tundra Giants. Finish them. Step 5:Now kill all the other foes you see but watch out for the Avicara groups with Avicara Wise, they'll use Ineptitude. Only use the Ripostes and Gladiators Defense but don't attack them. Step 6: Keep on moving untill you see a big Fort with allot of Crawls in it. Here you can get the Icebreaker. Kill the Mighty Crawls with your Ripostes and the Barbed Crawls just by slashing them with your sword. Step 7: Now just clear everything of Talus Chute. You can kill Ice Golums using Elemental Resistance and Dolyak Signet. Blue dots: Avicara Black dots: Mountain Trolls Yellow dots: Tundra Giants Red dots: Crawls White dots: Ice Golems __________________________________________________ _______________ Mineral Springs First of all, I'm not 100% done with this build, its still hard to kill the Avicara groups with the Ardent, Wise, Guile and the Braves. Anyway, this is what I did: Equipment: Flatbow Zealous sword of Defense +15% dmg (while in a stance) Zealous sword of Defense 15^50 +30hp / -5 (20% change) shield +45hp / -2 stance shield Armor: Full gladiators with Ascalon helm Attribute points: Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 11 (10+1) Tactics 15 (12+3) Skills: Sprint Sever Artery Riposte Gladiator's Defense {E} Elemental Resistance Physical Resistance Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Step 1: When you enter Tasca's Demise, use sprint to get past the ambush. go straight on using sprint untill you see a large bridge. Dont go to the left but walk a little bit forward untill you see a second entrance to the bridge, use sprint en run past the stone summit group. Take a break at this point untill the patrol is away from you. Step 2: When the patrol is gone, take the right way. You might die here but that's ok, you'll be spawned near the entrance to Mineral Springs Step 3: Ok, now you've entered Mineral Springs ther're a view I'm going to learn you. When you see the group of Avicara Fierce and Brave, lure them using your flatbow and go to this point: the Fierces can't hit you there so you only have to focus yourself on the Braves using Physical Resistance, Dolyak and your Ripostes. *Note: when attacking the Fierces, dont forgot the use Elemental Resistance, now their Ignite Arrows are almost useless.* Step 4: Take the right way untill you see the second group of Fierces and Braves. Here's the also the second spot for a trick. Step 5: Now go on and you'll see a 3th group of Fierces and Braves Here's also the 3th spot where you'll apply my trick. Step 6: Move on and kill all the other groups you'll see. Try to use the enviroment like I did. Step 7: When you see the second res shire, take the right way and you'l see some Tundra Giants. Kill them using Physical Resistance, Dolyak Signet and your Ripostes. Step 8: Watch out for Frost Wurms. U can kill them using your Ripostes and Gladiators Defense. Don't forget to use Dolyak Signet and Physical Resistance here. Step 9: Take the entrance into the cave and run past the group with the boss. Step 10: You can take the other way back killing all the other foe's using the same tactics which I gave you. Watch out for the balanced groups of Ardents, Wises, Guiles, Braves and Fierces. However, you can kill these groups also using the enviroment. As you can see, the Guile stays at the bottom of the hill and he does't attack me Step 11: The famous Ice Imp cave can be cleared using Elemental Resistance, Dolyak Signet and Sever Artery.

Ice Caves of Sorrow Part 2 Step 1: Enter the Ice Caves of Sorrow mission and run forward. You'll see a group of 3 Mursaat Elementalist and some Ice Imps patrolling. If there is a Mursaat Necromancer, skip the group. Otherwise sprint to the Mursaat so they stick together and cast Elemental Resistance and Dolyak Signet. Use Sever Artery, Gash, Epedemic and ViM to kill them. Use the same tactics on the Ice Imps and the other foe's in the area. Make your way down untill you see a bridge. *Note: Do not kill the catapult guards* Step 2: Cross the bridge using sprint and you'll end with around 100hp left. Step 3: Lure the groups of White Mantle with your flatbow and kill them using again the same tactics. Step 4: Go straight on and you'll see a Gate which can be opened using the Dwarven Powder Keg Station. Kill the White Mantles who are defending it. Step 5: Use the bomb to blow up the door and kill all the White Mantles and Mursaat inside the Ice Cave. Use the second Dwarven Powder Keg Station to blow up the second Gate. *Do not blow the prison* Step 6: When you walk outside and you the large group of Mursaat, let them pass by and lure the last one with your Flatbow and kill them. Step 7: Continue killing the mursaat using your flatbow and your sword. Step 8: Follow the road and you'll see a boat with some dwarves and a Boss. Kill him and there you are. You finished The Ice Caves of Sorrow mission. Ring of Fire Islands Perdition Rock W/Me Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Inspiriation Magic: 2 Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 11 (10+1) Tactics 15 (12+3) Skills: Sprint Sever Artery Riposte Deadly Riposte Gladiator's Defense Physical Resistance Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Step 1: You'll face allot of Flesh Gollems here. Kill them using your Ripostes and Gladiator's Defense but wach out for their exploison. Step 2: When fighting Hydra's, run around while using your Ripostes. Also try to use Savage Slash on them. Step 3: Sometimes, a Phantom might pop up, kill it with your Ripostes. Step 4: Dark Flame Dryders are harder, just kill them and heal whenever its possible. Step 5: Drakes are also hard, heal whenever its possible and kill them with your Ripostes and Gladiator's Defense. Step 6: Bad enough I lost my screenshots from here When you'll face the famous Wurm, kill them with your Ripostes. Make sure Dolyak Signet is always on and heal whenever its possible.Step 7: Igneous Ettins are like the Ettins in Kryta, just harder. Gladiator's Defense and your Ripostes should be enough. Step 8: Kill anything else but leave the monk bosses. Also remember: do NOT agro to much or you're a dead man. Ring of Fire I will add build, stats, steps and the map soon. I'm still tweaking the build Hells Precipice WARNING: This is more of a challenge than a farm. (Duo farming part is near the bottom of the page, I reccomend doing this, it's a lot faster) Alright Chumps up let's do this. Warrior/Necromancer 14 Tactics(minor+ascalon helm) 11 Sword(Sup rune) 11 Strenght(minor rune) Skills: Final Thrust Riposte Deadly Riposte Grenths Balance{E} Plague Touch Dolyak Signet Healing signet Sprint Equipment: Shields +10 Vs. Fire, +30 hp(for Sparks) -5(20 +30 hp 60/-3 hexes 45/-2 Sword: 15/-5(Zealous, defense) 15^50(Zealous, defense) BOWS: Longbow 15^50 req 7 20/20 +30 WANDS: Nolani +5e wand Damge the Lich in the beggining! Go to Hells Precipice(mission in Tyria) Enter mission, now you have 2 options, option A, type /resign, Option B, Get ready for a Challenge. You can either choose to fight or Skip the first Few groups of Ashen and Warrior titans, I usually skip them Cause there annoying. Run to the left of them using sprint, a meteor should land somewhere in the middle of the path so stay to the side to prevent KDs, when you see lich turn left sprint around the lava pool, hold CRTL and see how many sparks have spawned, if there are three, either resign or attempt to fight them(YOu can do it, just difficult). For this first group of sparks, look for one that isn't spamming spells very often, attack this one first. TACTICS: for fighting two Sparks, Attack the bugged one first, use plague touch whenever they use Mindburn on your, spam heal sig, cast Grenths Balance only if it's an emergancy(Cast it on the other once) you should successfully kill the first spark by sending it a lovely gift of burning flames and Final Thrusts. Move to the second one and kill it the same way. Once you have killed both Sparks, move forward to a bridge, a Ashen should pop up, you can either kill it(Sorry I've only killed it a few time by luck, AoTL ended at a good time and I KOd it with Final thrust) after your kill the Ashen, a Fist(swordman) and a hand(Axe) titans will pop up, sprint back pull one at a time. Fists: If you have your sword equipped they will use deadly riposte, you can switch to a wand and wand them for adrenaline then spike them(once your heal gets low enough, use this combo, GB, Riposte, Driposte, wand, Fianl Thrust) Hands: Very easy, don't use Dolyak Signet until your health is kinda low(make sure you don't let them use Evicerate when you have low hp so GB, Riposte, Driposte final Thrust them before they hit you 8 times) __________________________________________________ _________ Run near the bridge, when your on the top of it, use Sprint run past all the titans(make sure you stay away from the warrior wild blow) if you need heal use GB on one of them, run to this point(screenshot 1) wait there for about 10 seconds then all the sparks will move to the location on the first boss. [img][/img] Once your healed up at the stop point, walk to the nearest group(by the waterish) get ready to sprint past the Seer, use GB on the Bruning titan near him. Heal up again you should be a a fork, go right sprint past some ashens(watchyour for Bspiek1111) follow the path to the portals. Once you get to the open field keep walking forwar to the other side, aggro the last Fist/Hand the come out of the lava Pool, bring him up the hill and fight him. Keep pulling Fists/hand with your long bow, if you want morale boost pull any boss you want BUT the Necromancer one. Once the hands/fists are dead, shoot a Portal keeper with your bow, stand in one place(make sure your out of the patrol aggro) try to pull 1 or 2 of the phantom things, use plague touch to get weakness and blind off of you, Ripostes own these guys so use them. Once your have cleard all the Portals it will instantly go to a cut scene which leads you to Rurick, now for the fun part. Skip the Cinematic get ready to run backwards, whip out your long bow, shoot it at the First group of fists, run back shoot again, keep bringing them further away and eventually one will split apart, kill it, repeat. Now for a more fun part, GB Rurik up on his ledge, walk back, let the Sparks hurt you keep walking back until they give up shoot them with your long bow, keep messing with them, it makes the sparks split away from rurik. Kill Rurik, hope for a Signed FDS. (After I killed the second to last fist, I got cocky on the last one and Final Thrust killed me more pics coming)Duo farmin Head to Lich.... (I havn't been able to solo Lich yet, but I will soon he has ~6000 hp so take off those Superior armors and get lots of HP to maximize GB, now when fighting Lich when you use GB it heals you to 100% doing 0-600 dmg depending on your hp). DUO FARMING. Warrior/Necromancer 14 Tactics(minor+ascalon helm) 11 Sword(Sup rune) 11 Strenght(minor rune) Skills: Final Thrust Riposte Deadly Riposte Grenths Balance{E} Plague Touch Dolyak Signet Healing signet Sprint Skills: Ranger/Monk Barrage {E} Distracting Shot Savage Shot COncussion shot(never used) Troll Unguent Rebirth X Storm Chaser The Warrior does the same thing as if he were soloing, have the Ranger Interupt Mindburns, Rodgorts, healing signet ect... When fighting Lich, ranger become very useful, when Liches health is too low to GB to work and your taking 100s from his wand(with dolyak on) step off the alter, let the ranger get it to a sliver of hp(your wanding him) when he's about to die run in and FInal Thrust him to take all the glory hahahaha, just kidding.lol. Players: Red Rooster X Sayoko of the light(leet ranger) The Underworld W/N Attribute Points: Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship: 1 (0+1) Tactics: 14 (11+3) Curses: 10 Sprint Enfeeble Price of Failure Bonetti's Defense Gladiator's Defense Shield Stance Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Step 1: Lure the Aatxes while casting Price of Failure on the closest one, walk back to the stairs so only 1 will attack you. Use your stances like this: Shield Stance, Gladiator's Defense, Bonetti's Defense etc. Step 2: You can take the quest from the Ghost and lure the Squids. Kill them with your Gladiator's Defense. Step 3: Take out the other Aatxes using the stair-trick. Step 4: When you've cleared out the Chamber, go to the right way and go on Step 5: Smites! I don't have screenshots of them yet but you can just kill them using Dolyak Signet and Gladiator's Defense. W/Rit Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Restoration Magic: 12 Strength: 9 (8+1) Tactics 13 (10+3) A video of the run can be find here: UW Solo: Run to the Smites Skills: Sprint Risilient Weapon Vengeful Was Khanhei Vengeful Weapon Bonetti's Defense Desperation Blow Dolyak Signet Healing Signet You can either kill the Aatxes or run past them using the Dodge Trick. Download the video if you don't know how to do it Step 1: Kill the smites using Vengeful Was Khanhei. Make sure Dolyak Signet is on whenever its possible. Step 2: Kill the Coldfires using Vengeful Was Khanhei. Watch out for their Meal Storm. Step 3: Kill all the other Smites. Step 4: Run back to the entrance of the Ice Wastes and take the left way so you'll enter the Twin Serpent Mountains. You can kill the Obsidian Behemots but this will take a long time. I suggest taking the way to The Chaos Planes. Kill only 1 Banished Dream Rider at the time using Vengeful Was Khanhei. Also make sure that Resielint Weapon is on. Step 5: When you killed him, 3 Mindblade Spectres will come to you. Use the same tactics I gave you above. I don't have pictures of me vs 6 and 9 Spectres but they'll come soon Step 6: When you take the left way, you'll end the Bone Pits. Kill the Dead Collectors and Dead Treshers with VwK. More pictures will come very very soon! The Fissure of Woe The Beach W/Me There are many builds possible for this part. I'll tell you my favourite. Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Inspiriation Magic: 2 Strength: 9 (8+1) Swordmanship 13 (12+1) Tactics 13 (10+3) Skills: Sprint Hundred Blades Galrath Slash Final Thrust Power Attack Physical Resistance Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Step 1: When you've paid your fee and you entered The Fissure of Woe, walk to the right and use sprint. Run to the begining of the Beach and kill the first 3 Snarling Driftwoods Step 2: After you killed them, watch out for the Scales and wall hop the left wall past the Scales. Kill the Driftwoods there. You might face 2 groups but they are easy to kill. Step 3: Make your way to the famous Spider Cave and kill all the other Driftwoods. Step 4: You can lure all the spiders group by group because of their Healing Springt but if you're in melee range, they stop using it. Kill them with your attack skills and make sure Physical Resistance and Dolyak Signet is always on. Heal whenever it's possible. Step 5: Kill all the spiders in the cave but watch out because they might spawn behind you when you're already in battle. Step 6: Kill everything untill you're at the end of the cave The Forest of the Wailing Lord W/Rit Armor: Full Gladiators with Ascalon helm. Attribute points: Restoration Magic: 12 Strength: 9 (8+1) Tactics 13 (10+3) Skills: Sprint Soothing Memories Vengeful Was Khanhei Vengeful Weapon Distracting Blow Watch Yourself! Dolyak Signet Healing Signet Step 1: Run to the Tower of Courage and lure 1 group of Shadow Rangers and Abyssals. Cast Vengeful was Khanhei whenever its possible. Make sure Dolyak Signet and Watch Yourself! are always on. When the Abyssals are down, head to the Rangers and distract their Troll Unguent. Step 2: Clear the rest of the Rangers and Abyssals, after that run to the Forest of the Wailing Lord. Take your flatbow and lure the Spirit Shepherds. Use Vengeful Was Khanhei whenever it's possible. Step 3: When Rock Borer Worms pop up, go to melee range so they start attacking you. Cast Vengeful Was Khanei when it's possible but watch out for Chocking Gas! Step 4: Spirit Woods, they are easy. Just distract their Troll Unguent. Step 5: When spiders pop up, walk to melee range so they won't use Healing Spring and cast Vengeful Was Khanhei. Step 6: Now take the left way and lure the next group of Shepherds. Step 7: Kill the second group of Shepherds. Step 8: Go to the small hill you should see in front of you and kill the Spirit Woods. Remeber to distract their Troll Unguent. Step 9: You should see a bridge with 4 Skeleton Berserkers in front of it. Lure 1 group and kill them using your Vengeful Was Khanhei. Step 10: When you move forward to kill the second group, watch out because a Skeletal Impaler might pop up. Kill him with your Vengeful Weapon's. Step 11: Take the right way and you'll face the second halve of the forest. Kill everything using the same tactics I gave you to kill the first halve. step 12: If you want, you can clear the abode of the Wailing Lord but watch out! You might agro to much. I hope you've enjoyed my Solo Tour! I'll update this as much as I can. ~ Witte Was / Dave Tawings Last edited by Witte Was; Jan 09, 2007 at 02:16 PM // 14:16.. |

Amazing.
I used to sometimes try this myself. I would make a build up (they nearly always involved an Epidemic/ViM W/Me or a Grenth's Balance W/N), and then I see if I can solo an area or a mission. I never tried areas this hard though! /bow

I think he's doing it mostly for the challenge, that's the feeling I get from it.
At leat personally I think making a solo/farming build that works really well is what is the biggest thrill - I farm quite a bit but not really for the drops. I already bookmarked this as well. |
