List of quests that cannot be solo'd

[Umbrage]

Xorian Cipher was never fully soloable - you just made that up. Beholder cookies would of made no difference as the barrirers go all the way up to the ceiling.

The Beholder cookies were mentioned in reference to Crucible, not Xorian. (to jump over the maze and get the horn, then jump back) The wheels in Crucible can be done by setting them to a combo and pulling the lever until it comes up. (or setting 1 or 2 wheels and jumping to the rest when the right combo comes up.)

Someone else posted a link to a video of someone opening the barriers in Xorian solo.

[Umbrage]

von 5 wis,str, and ranged only takes 2 people ..my pally can hit all 3 quite easily.

The lightning room can be done by 2, but the furnace now needs 3, so that is the new limiting factor.

I think that's my vid. Past that point though is no longer solo'able. You have to either go past the right barrier, or the left one, with no way to get to the other once you lower them (new barriers pop up behind you.

adding to this list:

one of the new tombs have gears where you have to pass from one side to the other and pull switches at the same time (the frost one, think its unhallowed).

[Vizzini]

This Quest can be solo'd by Flesh to Stoning Enemies on the Floor switches and Level Draining them so they don't make their saves.

Floor runes:

The Xorian Cipher, House J. Requires 4.

That would be Tomb of the Forbidden.

This Quest [Xorian Cipher] can be solo'd by Flesh to Stoning Enemies on the Floor switches and Level Draining them so they don't make their saves.

The issue isn't the 4 floor switches, its what happens after you activate the 4 floor switches that causes you to require two people. Its not soloable.

By the way, Improved Trip and Halt Undead both work well if you need bodies on the switches for a 2-man or 3-man group.

[Vizzini]

I'm sorry I should have corrected..

You CAN GET ALL KEYS for Farming XC Solo - To actually complete you have to have 2 people!

That would be Tomb of the Forbidden.

How do you get back up after you flip the lower switch? Isn't there a gate that locks you down in the lower area?

[Vizzini]

Was corrected See post just above yours ^^^

[Uska]

Can be soloed but you have to recall out after hitting one of the valves. Depends on how you want to define 'soloable' I guess.

Nah ddoor works as well

[GeneralDiomedes]

2 Paladin / 10 Sorceror can do it. Firewall + solid fog at the gates.

If I can bear to run that quest again, I'll SS it (or Fraps for the full thing).

Or 11 Sorc. Or probably any arcane with fog and firewall really.

SS

Hardest part for me was not getting interrupted at the 4th pyre.

[Talon_Moonshadow]

How do you take down the pillars solo?

A ranger could do it. Might need GCB bow, but it can be done.

Edit: Sry....just realised I was responding to a year old post.

Dimension Door.

[Mavnimo]

in regards to XC. u can get 2 of the 3 keys solo. in order to get the 3rd key u need a second person to either hit the lever in the bottom room or do the puzzle in the top room. a dimension door will not work because both sides get closed off after u enter.

von 5 requires 4 now that the ladder has been raised beyond jump range. before the ladder fix it could be done with 2 people who had both 25 str and 20 wis(yes 1 person could do all 3-hit str, jump swing hit ranged, come down hit wis).

I didn't read through the whole thread but did it ever get cleared up that, yes, you can do the Pit solo and, no, you don't need a high jump to do it. If not then let me clear that up.

Yes -- It was cleared up when I posted the youtube tutorial video for the pit solo with a jump skill of 5

[Pellegro]

Xorian Cypher does not require 4 characters. It requires 2.

*added note so I'm not being mysterious*
The weight triggers for the black doors do not need to be activated by PCs. A summoned monster will trigger them just as effectively.

Can you solo it if you Flesh To Stone some summons on the triggers on one side, run to the other, summon on one while standing on the other?

That'd be kinda cool. If it worked.

That will work to get you into one room, but you need to pull the switch in the bottom room to open the door in the top room.
