Ready Player One had soloed it into part 4 earlier but had some minor lag and left. I said I would help with part 5 being a maybe. Didn't feel comfortable doing elite but I have quickened teleport if things looked bad in earlier parts.

So we started as a Duo. Me on 12Wiz/6Barb/1Bard thf, Ready on Warlock. Note Ready was already down a life.
Part 1 - Almost too easy.
Part 2 - Some annoyance getting them separated at end but still easy over all. Gnoll, Fire Ele, Orthon, Orc.
Part 3 - Ready broke the crystals and ran water while I sprint boosted the other water. We waited on wall twice to be safe.
Part 4 - Choose to go slow to limit blades chasing us. I never stayed in on blades. Took 5 rounds. A few mana potions used from dice/self looted.

Part 5 - Decided to continue since we had done well to this point. Was both worried about the extra life mechanic working properly but it did. Got through the initial communication of separation and left Orthon to regen spell points. Rebuffed fully and started Harry. About 50% thru the blades became numerous and staying in melee was getting risky. We pushed down to 30-35% when Ready got telekinesis on top of blades ending with 20 hps. I am raged and not able to do anything(even not raged all I got is cure light). He heals to 40% but hits blades again and Harry finishes him off(best I could tell, bit chaotic). I try to talk to Ready while beating down Harry and avoiding blades. Even double death aura and blood tribute isn't enough so ~3 minutes of solo action and teleport out. I didn't attempt a screenshot with all the chaos in part 5. Nor did I get a screen of it being elite. Just have to trust us on that.

RIP Ready.
While not an achievement for completion we got pretty far in. Eagerly awaiting someone else to beat it. It's possible.

Super fun and totally worth it to me. I finish my HC season early this year with 5471 favor. Of course I'm wiped from the leaderboard but had a good season none the less.

Thx Xyfiel for hanging with me.

In other words, if it was 3 or 4 of you, it would have been an easy completion?
