Guild Wars 2

Now I find every so often, that I like to challenge myself, or can’t rely on fellow guildies to come help me in my times of need, so in those cases I just end up soloing something deadly. I thought I would ask the community, what they have solo’d and this seemed like the best place to post it. Anyways, how this thread works.

There are 2 types of Solo, Official and Unofficial Solo. Unofficial Solo’s are where you’ve done significant damage and are in a good position to keep soloing, however a player/players show up and kill it with you. To earn the Unofficial Solo, you must have dealt more than 50% health and have been in a good position to keep going.

So anyways, onto what I’ve Solo’d.

Unofficial Solo:
- Champion Oakheart; Queensdale. Solo’d with Level 80 Guardian, Gear was all Exotic excluding back as this was Rare. I can’t exactly remember what kind I was using, as I solo’d Champion Oak within the first 6 months of GW launching.

Official Solo’s:
- Champion Frainn; Timberline Falls. Solo’d with Level 80 Warrior. All Exotic, excluding back item as this was Rare. Armor, Knight’s and Berserker Shoulder Armor with Superior Rune of Melandru. Trinkets, Emerald With Exquisite Ruby Orbs. Weapons, Berserker, Axe/Warhorn and Greatsword With Superior Sigils of Force, Purity and Accuracy. Traits 30, 0, 20, 0, 20

- Champion Risen Drake Broodmother; Strait’s of Devastation. Solo’d with Level 80 Warrior. All Exotic, excluding back item as this was Rare. Armor, Knight’s and Berserker Shoulder Armor with Superior Rune of Melandru. Trinkets, Emerald With Exquisite Ruby Orbs. Weapons, Berserker, Axe/Warhorn and Longbow With Superior Sigils of Force, Purity and Generosity. Traits, 30, 0, 10, 0, 30.

No screenshots, but I soloed the champion fish in Frostgorge. The fish itself isn’t too bad, but the popups that keep popping up around him are annoying!

I was hunting for wood, ended up in an overflow, probably due to Scarlet on my home) and as there was a wood node in that area on my own server, I decided to stay around until I got my transfer message. The champion fish arrived and I decided to go after him. I had to reenter the queue at one point (because that thing always pops at the most importune moment!) because by that time I had him down so far, I just had to finish it. As I said, the fish itself isn’t too bad, but those other fish and quagans are annoying!

Naturally, it’s difficult to solo this fish, as it’s usually killed by a zerg before you can blink….

Equipment? All rares, no idea what stats, though.

Soloed the ff:

Almost all champ on Queensdale – except Troll. I hate troll.
Soloed Champ Quaggan in Frostgorge last January

All those happened before the champ train was invented.

I soloed GW2 and got 5 legendaries

Going by your unofficial rule, countless things. Officially ive solo’d arah p2 a number of times, bloomhunger, golem world boss (old and new version) and a load of champions etc.

Anyway heres some threads you might be interested in if you like solo content.

i’d soloed zomorros

haven’t won yet

I solo’d old Tequatl once while being in an oceania zone and on an EU server.

It took forever, but was no challenge at all.

You guys are awesome. I can’t even solo the character creation screen.

Most ‘general’ champions around the maps, including Orr/Frostgorge. Can be a nice change just exploring a map and seeing a champ to fight without others around. Some event champions are designed not to be solo’d though, such as way too high health pool or resetting constantly.

Before the buff, solo’d the golem world boss and most of maw/fire ele (people interfered in the end, hard to fully solo). Golem and fire ele should still be solo-able, maw probably has too much health now. Close on Ulgoth, but he always had a timer. I remember getting close on the pirate boss in Bloodcoast Tide (with someone else there by dieing constantly) but having to pull out for some reason.

Did anyone solo Wurm/SB pre buff? I considered shatterer but his healing would probably be to high.

Recent ones for me are Priestess of Lyssa and Skeletal Lich.

Solo’d the Champ ooze in south Frostgorge, champ quaggan there too, the 2 champ wasps in fields of ruin east side and i duo’d the fire shaman and fire ele with my friend a few times now. i solo’d the underwater fractal with the jellyfish boss and also managed to beat shatterer with 3 ppl.

A whole serving of fried chicken.

Nice work on Lyssa, I tried that once and after knocking off about 15% all of the seals got retaken so I just said kitten it and left. Probably would have taken me like 4 hours if the seals would need to be retaken that frequently and that is assuming she wouldn’t reset.
As for what I have done, every champ on http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_champions barring the krait hypnoss in mt. maelstrom, the krait witch in timberline, risen captain covington, up scaled event spawns and the ones that are always zerged (frozen maw, ulgoth, foulbear) and all of the legendaries. The list is far from complete but I have gotten a lot of the ones not on it.

Lyssa resets if you move away to go do the other events. Its possible to duo but the events are such a pain that your much better of trio’ing it. Actually fighting her solo while others deal with events isnt too hard though.

It was 9 months ago when I soloed something that was worth recording. You can find everything I soloed in GW2 in my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/SpikyGW2/videos
2 full TA paths;
Arah – operative belka, berserker abomination;
AC – Kholer;
Open world – risen priestess of dwayna

I got every defense event right after getting all events done. Guess I kind of got lucky.

Hmm I was duoing it last night and we got some pretty annoying defend events. And then because it took too long to finish the 3rd event and do its defend. We got another defend while killing lyssa, was the champ wraith which was a pain. It became frustrating because if we left lyssa she would reset but we kind of had to split to defend the events. I guess we could of avoided it by making sure all events were completed around the same time. We had no trouble trio so we assumed we didnt need to be that careful duo. :P

Official Solo: Champion Risen Abomination in Zho’qafa Catacombs. Warrior 80, exotic gear, ascended trinket. Longbow + swiftness.

I solo’d King Crab and champions in Straits of Devastation. I don’t remember the other champions I solo’d.

I solo’d my 1 key. And soon after, I solo’d my F key. Both within ~20 minutes of each other.

unofficial but reverse (5 people started, I finished the last half health or more)

first worm boss in TA
golem fan boss in uncategorized fractal

there are some others but I forget them..
symbol healing zerk guardian ftw

Svanir champ in Wayfarer Foothills. But a lot of players can do that cause he’s easy.

A few champs I’ve soloed include:
Icebrood Norn in Frostgorge Sound
Giant Blue Ooze in Frostgorge Sound
Corrupted Quaggan in Frostgorge Sound
Giant Branded Devourer in Fields of Ruin
Flame Legion Effigy in Plains of Ashford
Plains Wurm in Diessa Plateau
Harathi Overlord in Kessex Hills
Unseen Hunter in Brisban Wildlands
Fluffy in Mount Maelstrom
Risen Knight in Malchor’s Leap
Corrupted Wolfmaster in Wayfarer Foothills
Frostmaw in Lornar’s Pass

A few champs I’ve tried to solo, but have not yet succeeded:
Risen King in Cursed Shore
Nageling Giant in Diessa Plateau
Blood Witch in Kessex Hills
Champion Karka in Southsun Cove
Rotbeard in Cursed Shore
Risen Megalodon in Cursed Shore
Dredge Commissar in Dredgehaunt Cliffs

Champs in QDale, except Troll.
Ghosts in catacombs, plus the one on the island, Plains of Ashford.
Icebrood in Snowden.
Two Spiders, troll, the centaur’s beast and the centaur boss in the cave in Gendarren.
Quaggan in Frostgorge.
Undersea Worm in Fireheart.
Broodmother in Malchor’s.
Jotun Champ in Dredgehaunt
Giant Devourer in Fields of Ruin.
Golem Mark II (before timer/changes, haven’t been there recently)

I’m not sure if it counts, but Alpha in one of his early stages (before he uses the caught in amber effect) when the rest of the party went down in the first ten seconds. He ran away, but I had him if he stayed.

Probably some others I’m forgetting.

I’ve officially solo’ed the WvW Wildcreek Run tower.
Walked up with alpha golem, parked it, got out and killed the guards, got back in and beat down the gate (had to get out again part way through to re-kill the guards), got out and killed everything leading up to the lord, killed the champ lord.
I was really surprised I was left alone long enough to do all that – both from enemies and allies.

On a somewhat different note, has anyone solo’d the champ krait hypnoss in mt. maelstrom? It summons adds extremely rapidly and some of them are vets with knockdowns plus a really powerful aoe condition attack. I am thinking an engi might have enough interrupts to break down defiant and interrupt the summon but I am still leveling one so haven’t tested it yet.

Here’s what I imagine must be running through Wethospu’s head while reading these posts: “Aww, how cute.”

I have solo all the champs in Frostgorge. I have soloed almost all champs in Orr like Champ Abomination, Champ Archmage, Champ Baronese, and Champ Broodmother and Champ Giant.

I solo’d old Tequatl once while being in an oceania zone and on an EU server.

It took forever, but was no challenge at all.

I soloed her on the last slow Sunday morning before she evolved. (Unofficial, I guess. A couple people showed up by her last 1/4 health.) I blame myself for the current state of affairs, sorry. Maybe if I didn’t make her look easy, then my server would still be visiting her now and again.

A champ that I can easily solo, though its a group event, is Victurus the Shattered. Before the little fix to the event, his minions used to respawn really fast like every 30 secs, but afterwards it was easier. It’s a little annoying to deal with all the minions, but after that, Victurus is a breeze. He hardly does any damage and he has a decent amount of health.

Another champ that I’ve solo’d is a champion risen Juggernaut in Sparkfly Fen. (it was either there or some zone around there…) But its’ attacks were predictable enough so that you could either dodge or evade or whatever. It was easier with my warrior just cuz sometimes it would go into a recovery/invuln/block state and i would watch my might stacks fly up from Short Temper. The risen juggernaut does a buttload of damage. It has a fiery rush skill and you really don’t want to be anywhere near the fire field obviously, but if you get caught in it, you don’t want to stand more than a second in it :P And it also has a triple lava tomb ability Overall, if you’re smart and decently equipped, you should be able to kill it, but it will take awhile.

other weak sauce champions include: the frost gorge sound corrupted Quaggan, Giant Branded Devourer, some of the champ spiders in Queensdale, Flame Legion Effigy, all the personal story champs and legendary bosses, and all the Epic bosses when u make a new char

Zhaitan, the Elder Dragon of Undeath. Three team members were disconnected, and a fourth had to do an emergency AFK.

Given what the ULTIMATE LAST BOSS fight actually constitutes, I do not anticipate any of you will be impressed.

I soloed the Christmas toymaker blimp thing last year. By accident. I had just gotten the game, didn’t realize what it was, and thought the exploration mode was an easy “take a look at this neat content” mode.

Once I was in there, I just figured it was really hard because I wasn’t very good at the game and I was like level 30. I got lucky with the events that triggered and managed to plug my way through the whole thing.

Svanir champ in Wayfarer Foothills. But a lot of players can do that cause he’s easy.

Especially when it does 0 damage per hit. Still haven’t figure out why a champ hits for 0 damage. Assuming you mean the one at the svanir dome.

For reference I play a Necro most of the time.
Used to solo Frozen Maw all the time before all the loot updates.
Champ at Svanir’s Dome is glitchy if you solo it melee style and can reset but if you dodge the stomp, power slap, and charge moves it can’t kill you, if you get downed by the stomp it’s pretty much over for you. Get asked all the time why I’m not taking any damage from it (staff #2 keeps me healed up nicely). It doesn’t hit for 0 damage, it’s just that its normal attack is super weak compared to its instant down attacks that it does every 30 seconds.

I’ve soloed almost all of the champs except for dragons and the Mt. Maelstrom Krait at the top of the Krait tower, that one is mean with all the conditions and adds it throws out at you.

It does hit for 0, not on the charge but some of the hits are just 0. I am seeing those 0s pop up on screen.

I think the other players when I team would disagree about the 0 damage. Last night when I joined in many players went down and had to rally/be healed. And I know that if I don’t time it right when I’m soloing it can down me as well.
