I know that the story mode for Arah can be soloed, but what about the others?
Arah technically doesn’t have a story mode anymore.
Arah was scaled down so that it could be soloed by one person in a reasonable time frame compared to what it was before they made it that way.
All dungeons can be soloed with enough skill except for the ones with parts that require multiple players to so things in a very short time frame or at the same time. I don’t know if the story mode dungeons do or do not have such mechanics.
Arah is the only one that’s designed to be played solo. (It’s technically not a dungeon path any more, it was changed into a story instance that just happens to take place inside the dungeon.)
It may be possible to complete the others solo (I don’t know if it is or not) but they’re all designed for 5 person groups so it will be much harder. Completing group content on your own often requires using a very specific build and ‘tricks’ like knowing if you stand in one exact spot you can hit an enemy but they cannot hit you, or how to skip entire sections of the dungeon by using stealth, teleports etc. to run through or around them.
Which also means you have to either find videos instructing you or spend a lot of time practicing to get to know the path (or both) before you’ll be able to do it.
In other words it may well be possible but for most people it’s not worth the effort compared to finding a group to play with.
Ok thank you both.
Honor of the Waves might prove to be a bit of a bump. Beyond that I believe the rest are good.
Depends a lot on class and playstyle.
I did my first solo run today actually on my ranger in crucible of eternity.
Sure I died 10 times but I still beat it. Haven’t tried any other but after that really don’t want to
I’ve completed the story mode of Ascalonian Catacombs solo. It’s difficult, yeah, but definitely soloable.
