Why hasn’t this been nerfed yet? Sure, this should go in bugs but lets face, hardly anyone especially anet employs take that sub-forum seriously.
This Skill Challenge is notoriously the most difficult one in the game, the mesmer guarding the skillpoint is extremely overpowered, not to mention the event is mislabeled – this should be [Group Event] because no one at comparable level can take her down, she even gives level 80s geared out a hard time.
The entire fight is a joke, needs to either properly labelled or nerfed.

On principle, I don’t go near any mob with the horned skull alone. Usually that alone is label enough for something like that, but if you’re having trouble why not get people together to go get the skill point? It doesn’t need to be nerfed, or re-labeled, really. If you can’t do it alone, get other people to lend a hand.
It’s not a skill challenge, it’s a group event. The skill challenge is behind her. That said, I soloed this event, twice…as a ranger. A level 80 warrior in full exotics should be able to steamroll it.
Those armadillos would be a lot cooler if they looked more like real armadillos. mmm armadillos

It’s not a group event, is just an event with a boss. I don’t think is even a champion, but just a veteran. Yes, it can be soloed, I did it at level 25. And yes, the skillpoint is behind her.
It wouldn’t go beyond your pride to shout in the map “need help with the mesmer in the cave” right?
It only takes two people at the map level.
That’s how I did it at low level. That’s how people I’ve later helped did it. And I’m sure that’s a better way to do it than be bitter and ask anet to nerf it.

The problem is, you need to kill her to get to the skill challenge. If your on a low population server, or the zone is dead. Then you can’t easily get this skill point, I had to use my Warrior in order to clear it for my new alt.
Then a short while later, another person was having problems with it. And they WAS a new player, no level 80s to fall back on. So, the event really does need amending, there isn’t many skill challenges in the game that require a group in order to get.

If you noticed, the actual event to kill her ~ Isn’t labelled a [Group Event] either, that is why it needs to be fixed.

I hated HATED doing that one on my Ranger. But, I did find a way to beat it by using the environment. In the back of the cave there is a pillar in front of the wall that disappears once she is beaten. I hid behind the pillar and strafed out to drop shots on her, starting with her clone and the raven and using the healing well if I took damage…err…WHEN I took damage.
Not sure if this tactic can be done on any other class.
It definitely needs a nerf, on my Thief I was lucky enough to go in with a group who was also going in.
I’ve never actually fought in that battle; every time I arrived there it was just finished, and all the players in it were getting the skillpoint & exiting out the portal.

Give Charr armor some more love!
Let us show our spots, stripes, or lack-there-of in style.
that chick is one tough cookie ye was able do solo her on my necro but just because i had a ton of minions and fear. My guardian did it with another person but just barely.
My poor ranger got owned. It is a bit hard to solo deffinitly not one to take on alone.
Did it on my ranger, solo, way back ago. Unless she was buffed since then, it’s a hard fight, but doable and soloable. It just takes a lot of time (…on a ranger. A guardian or warrior should be able to do it way more easily).
Actions, not words.
Remember, remember, 15th of November
That why I kept a close and a range weapon on my guardian. For this fight u should stand a ledge and fire at her.
I think the hardest skill point is the one on timberlake kittenblocked by a champion asura.
If it’s just a Veteran, it’s blindable and so it should be easy for a thief using offhand pistol.
haha, actually i expect she will be hard for a thief. She has 3 forms.
1st, her + 1 sylvari
2nd, 2 mesmer and 3 raven illusions (i think)
3rd, her self.
2nd is hard .
Spoilers….
well besides this there are a few other hard to reach for solo points. 1 point in ashford has 3 to 5 constant vet spawning. 1 area in Iron Marches has constant flame legion and turrets spawning. 1 SP in Timberline Falls is guarded by a Veteren spider with champion level regeneration. Oh, and lets not forget the SP at Lyssa shrine in malchor(the hardest in the entire game, guarded by 20+ risen and 2 catapults are in range).
Edit: Insanely tough low level champion bosses are the fire elemental at metrica, and krait priestess at Caledon.
Not everything in the game needs to be beatable by a 5 year old !
this is arguably one of the very few skill challenges that actually is true to it’s name.
That said, I did solo it on my level appropriate guardian.
Is her sylvari friend still immortal? – when I did this the sylvari had the immortality buff and I had to kite her about for the entire fight, I still solo’d it (Was an extremely hard fight though but, like I say pretty sure the sylvari was bugged)
But if they ain’t invisible thats a nerf in my books

Blindable blindable and more blindable :p Also, technically a PW spam thief with signet of malice and caltrops should be able to outheal most damage done in phase 2 I suppose.
While leveling, I found it to be one of the few spots in the game that actually felt like somewhat of an accomplishment. A few skill challenges that where you actually need to try in order to get it is a good thing; not everything (open world) should be face roll-able.
