Crystallos access soloable?

[Erudeus]

I've gotten through Pool of Ill, Pool of Currents, and Lifewater Pool. Just tried Thunderstrike Pool and got hosed, so I'm going to regroup and think about it.

Anyone soloed this access?

Oh, and I'm 85, 2100aa, buffed 34khps, 33km, 4400ac.


Thank ya

Quick update,

Researching, it seems like all the mobs that spawn adds, those adds may despawn if the puller (i.e. me) fds after the golem spawns. The Golem spawns in the pool, the adds spawn just outside of the pool. Apparently, the window between these adds despawning and the mob itself despawning may take some figuring out so I don't missed the main dude.

Also, another bit of information suggests that levitation may draw the adds into the pool if they haven't despawned. This suggests that there is no need to fd, just run into the pool without dmf and go to the back.

I'll try all these in the next few days, or someone else can. From the mobs I was able to solo, if the adds can be negated, this is definitely solable.

It's been a while so details are sketchy - but I remember the adds being of zero concern as long as you werent levitating or stepped to the edge of the pool. Fight the golem in place and the adds never enter the picture.

Thanks for that verification. =)

i recently tried to solo it, i was able to do everything until it was time to enter MMM. Most of that quest was soloable, the only snag i found was killing the engineer at the top of zeka, too many mobs to flop past, and i didnt think i could kill them all before repop.

He's soloable. I put my strat in a new thread (MMM access Technician soloable). The engineer is even easier, but he's in Beza.

Completed Crystallos key quest, including MMM access, with merc only.

Prancer of Pain was the toughest of the key mobs, in my opinion. Technician Masterwork was a pita to get alone, but all doable =) Yay!
