List of quests that cannot be solo'd

[sigtrent]

might be able to solo it with halt undead.

Ya, I think it may be possible but its hard to pull it off. I did get one side fixed by getting my opponents to shand on the triggers, so if you could freeze them in place and then do the same on the ohter side you could do it with one person.

I see no guide for The Pit, even one that is for a group. I typed in "The Pit" for the search and looked thru and found nothing. Could someone that knows where the post is please provide a link.

I just have to see it to believe it.

So is the consensus so far that

The Missing Party (Delera's 2), House J. Requires 2.

&

The Xorian Cipher

are the only two, absolutely un-solo-able quests?

PS. Thanks for starting this thread. I've actually been thinking about doing something similar for a few weeks, I just wasn't motivated enough to actually do it. So kudos to you, good sir.

The Xorian Cipher

Xorian Cipher is hypothetically soloable. It has been done with 3 players easily, and 2 players with difficulty.

It would be possible for one player to pull a monster on to each of the three platforms and lock it down with Greater Command, Hold Monster, Flesh to Stone, Otto's Resistable Dance, or whatever. That way you could open the passages by yourself.

von 5 and 6 are both not soloable, neither is TF

None of the raid quests are soloable except for TS.

VoN 5: switches in the lightning room requires 5?
VoN 6: 3 pillars
TF: levers to move underwater
Titan: running crystals (or does the gun stay powered long enough to solo that?)
DQ1 technically soloable... but DPS is insane.
You might be able to solo DQ2... if you were REALLY lucky.

[VonBek]

I've heard about the recall trick on this one. Yet, every time I recalled out of the cage trap, the cage trap would reset, and the gate would drop on the rest of the quest.

I'm open to clues.

umm marilith is soloable

or is that what you are referring to as dq2?

adq isnt a raid quest, so not sure why you would mention "none of the raid quests are soloable" and then mention adq...assuming thats what you are refering to as dq1..and yes it is soloable

there is nothing stopping anyone from soloing marilith

and yes one person can gather crystals and fire the laser...

You're right DQ1 is not a raid quest.

But I'm not sure she's soloable in DQ1... her regen is insane.

DQ2 = Zawabi's Revenge. At least she has no regen in DQ2... but like I said you would have to be awfully lucky to solo her without getting killed, and AFAIK no shrines and you can't come back in if you die.

She has no regen in Against the Demon Queen that I'm aware of.

VoN 5: switches in the lightning room requires 5?

It requires two. One character can do 3 of the 6 switches.

VoN 6: 3 pillars

Hypothetically it could be soloed. Assuming the monsters were removed somehow (dragged away and fascinated), it is possible to summon an Earth Elemental to destroy pillars while you do something else. It would be virtually impossible to get two summons to kill pillars at the same time, but it might happen.

Titan: running crystals (or does the gun stay powered long enough to solo that?)

The gun power is indeed long enough. Theoretically if the Titan randomly stood still and stopped chasing you and killing you, stand at the controls, break a pillar onto the Titan with a throwing axe, and then activate the laser all by himself. But as long as the Titan doesn't cooperate, that can't be done.

You might be able to solo DQ2... if you were REALLY lucky.

I've seen individual rangers solo off 30% of Laliat's hp in DQ2. With more luck, they could make it further. (That's more likely to happen than someone soloing the Titan or VElah)

[Gengulphus]

Haven't read all the posts in this thread, but I solo'd Rest for the Restless (on normal) and The Scoundrel's Run (on hard) with my lvl 12.4 paladin for favor. I died once in Rest for the Restless, but I made it through Scoundrel's run w/ no deaths!

I would agree that you could do it with a high jump, but that would be some great feat of jumping I would say. Have to be much greater than the 40's. I don't think that would be reasonable for everyone.

The third room alone, I have no idea how you would do it. My character had a jump of 34 when I went in, and no way I could jump that high. I guess maybe on the first steam blast valve you could try to trip it, and than run into it, and than aim for the ledge. But have no clue how you would do the second or the third without someone hitting the switches from the bottom.

You can do it with a jump of 34, feather fall, and a haste potion. You just have to know WHERE to jump to. =)

I did it with my fighter (died several times learning the tricks). I could probably do it even easier with my wizard.

Yeah I did it, I ran it solo all the way thru. In the third furnace room I had to go back out to get the house P buffs again. I activated the switch on the bottom half to propel me up to the second level. I went to the second level and was able to jump from the steam jet to the pipe with house P buffs and feather fall boots.

I ran to the middle of the room and ran back out toward the entrance on the second level pipe. Then from the second level pipe I jumped to the thrid level. This is where the switch was to get up to, I assume, the fire elementals.

However I got stuck at this part, what I did was jump down to the pipes running across to the other jet. The jet that boosts you to the top level. I had to use a beholder cookie to get up their. But it was close enough that I could hit the switch and get to the boost in time.

It took about 2 hours, but that is the second time I've done it, first time I was lead on my cleric, second time was this time.

However, how do I get thru the third room without a beholder cookie?

I wouldn't want to try it... But I did see a post on the... Ummm.. DMK forums a while back(I believe) where something had gone wrong, and everyone got locked out of the area with the titan down to about 20 percent except for one person. He was able to bring the titan down the rest of the way solo. So I guess it is THEORETICALLY possible... But it's nothing I'd like to try.

[Jolani]

Titan awakes is not soloable. The only reason being the titan moves about too much. If he stood still long enough it would be possible. Twilight forge requires a minimum of 4 (and a hell of a lot preparation and decked out characters) I am not sure if von5 would need 2 or 4, but for two you would need characters with 25 str and 20 wis. VoN6 you MIGHT be able to do it with 1 person and a hell of alot of luck, but duo could be done. Deleras pt2 needs 2. And I think those are the only ones that absolutely cannot be solo'd.

[remgeo]

The Pit requires at least 3.

the pit can be solo'd, it's just not easy

[Vincenz]

Xorian Cipher is hypothetically soloable. It has been done with 3 players easily, and 2 players with difficulty.

It would be possible for one player to pull a monster on to each of the three platforms and lock it down with Greater Command, Hold Monster, Flesh to Stone, Otto's Resistable Dance, or whatever. That way you could open the passages by yourself.

No, because to open the gate to the puzzle you have to have someone downstairs to pull the lever...which locks that person in the room with the skels and wraiths.

If the memory serve me well, you can unlock 2 gate from the puzzle on the ground -- west one (in the puzzle room) was the one use for opening the gate connect puzzle room with the specter brother room, east one (again, in the puzzle room) was the one use for opening the gate connect the specter brother room to the shrine. None of them relate to the quest progress.

Once all three specter brothers dead in the east room, you should be able to progress the quest.

[MeNorel]

actually XC can be soloed by 2 even without casting pets. Just kill a skellie on the other pads. Could be soloed if you didn't have to pull that dange switch. Web up two skillies on the low side then kill or web a third one on the other side then stand on the fourth.
