Learning to solo Arah p4?
This thread has a lot of good info in it. I personally could never make it past Farnaz, though I never tried on a class with reflects.
Summons Purple Miku <—- He’ll have way more information about doing this path on ele than I could ever dream of.
Risen Knight: Easy to learn, be prepared to fall back to range periodically until you get the hang of him. If you do get downed to him, teleport back to the waypoint quickly — he’ll usually come to the lobby and you can watch the Pact NPCs kill him xD
Balthazar Priest: Easy-peasy. Dodge into him every ~7 seconds to avoid his spinny death daggers. You’ll get the timing pretty quick — he’s one of those bosses that’s much easier when you can control his aggro.
Melandru Priest: Oh dear god kill me now. See the thread I linked for a good discussion. You have to…relocate the gorillas so you can afk-range the boss. Just like fighting in a party, but 5 times longer.
Farnaz: There are a few LOS spots that you can use to keep her busy chasing you while you hack her to bits. There are quite a few good videos around. Bring condition removal and pop it as soon as you see confusion on yourself.
Lupi is Lupi.
Grenth: Never solo’d, only trioed. Difficult solo because of the tedium of having to hit the boss after the teleport and the length of the event. If you’re going to die from the wraith debuff, just find somewhere safe and out of combat to die and rally with your #4 skill.
Simins: Not sure you can solo her anymore. It was somewhat possible with awesome RNG and FGS pre-nerf, but most people just glitched her into a rock. I’ve heard this has been fixed, so you might need a friend for this part to help run sparks.
Bloodstone shard: Never made it here solo, but probably the easiest thing in the world, assuming you don’t let yourself get petrified.
I’d recommend duoing/trioing at first if you can find partner(s). From what I’ve heard, it’s not really profitable to sell due to time + finding/paying for help at Simins, but soloing it is definitely pretty high on the “I’m a kitten!” list =D
Good luck!
Edit the kitten above is a “bad[donkey]”

I did it on elementalist a few times, excluding Simin ofc.
Melandru is super easy, use staff and make sure to use glyph of storms in earth for the gorillas to blind them. Chill them afterwards and just try to keep them bundled together and keep a safe distance.
Range melandru with staff on fire attunement since it’s not only WAY easier but best DPS anyways. Btw, make sure you spawn 5 trees away from where you plan to fight gorillas and range the boss… otherwise they will get you killed.
I’ll make a video of it sometime soon, but gorillas don’t need to be relocated it’s just way easier to do it that’s all. :P
For Lyssa, use 26600 traits. You will more than likely fail flambuoyantly without the diamond skin earth grandmaster trait… especially because she bugs a lot and sometimes you get 25x confusion when the clones spawn and after they shatter.
Soloing orbs is super easy with elementalist with clerics. Use 0/5/0/3/6 traits and clerics, and here is the safest/easiest way to solo the orbs with ele.
Grenth is a total pain to do on an ele but it can be done. use D/D (for mobility, RTL) and lightning flash and glyph of storms in fire for 10 second aoe. The order that the wraith teleports is:
East > South > North > West > Middle, and repeat. He goes through them twice.
Mail or pm me ingame if you want to ask more questions, but I’m stopping the post here because it’s long xD

Aha! So you’ve seen that, too…I thought I was just crazy, or didn’t understand the mechanic. 50 stacks in 15 seconds is a tad OP!
Yes, it’s a glitch that likely won’t ever be fixed. It really, really sucks. 99% of any time I died to this boss was because of it :P
That’s a lot of help, guys.
I’m gonna try a run or two to test the waters, but I wont do a serious run until sometime after the 16th, because this’ll take a lot of work and I still have a few final tests to do, but all help is appreciated!
