How did you guys solo PoE 42?
Just a question. I'm curious cause I'm intrigued on trying it.
What did you guys do to solo it? Some people have already done it. Only downside to soloing it is dismantling mines yessssss. Shivers. Lol.
Also I plan on running my Titan.

Solo'd using mostly my primary, wielding sword when I wanted to move around. Was on hunter, did not bother to complete the weekly, but I'm sure you could camp for the points in a single fo.

Did it today on a warlock with res because he is my last character I need it on. I died once on the hive round. I used multi tool mostly. Just focused on killing every add then DPS on the boss with primary.

2 RepliesEdited by OurWildebeest: 4/15/2016 1:37:39 AMYou don't need to dismantle mines. It is three boss rounds. Basically like three final rounds in old PoE. I am not sure if it is always the same three in the same order, but so far for me, it was: Qodron (or Overmind Minotaur? Big Vex guy who periodically imprisons you) Sylok (giant Taken knight) Pilot servitor I only soloed one round until someone joined me. But it should be the same - find good cover and chip away. You will get time penalties, though. The hardest to solo would probably be Sylok, because he throws flame that seems to burn forever, which can cut off your movement at the worst times.

Edited by Forever277: 4/15/2016 4:08:22 AMThere's no dismantle anything bro. Overmind minotaur Taken knight that shoots fire Pilot servitor Camp a safe (ish) spot with a decent scout rifle and carefully headshot every add, damage the boss, headshot every add.......damage boss...rinse and repeat and bam, you've soloed 42 If you can't do it at 317 you seriously need to get better at the game, i did it 6x at 310 already

1 ReplyIt's just boss dps, mob control, dps, mob control. Just havr to do it as quick as possible, unless you don't care about score. Which you shouldn't unless you still need your 30/90k.

Sadly soloing the POE challenge is easier than soloing the level 41 POE. Small arms + precision bonus = very easy challenge. Just take your time and get precision kills.

Edited by mortem711: 4/15/2016 4:00:34 AMOverall Use a high impact scout or handcannon. One shot kill everything Use sunsinger, nightstalker or bubble to make orbs without wasting precision kills Variks takes away 50 points at a time, so take your time Room one: turn to the right immediately and go to the first add spawn door. Take them out as they spawn then turn left. The next set of adds will be coming around the corner. After those are dead, look towards the open space. Kill adds. Rinse repeat. Room 2: stay near the entrance. Wizards are priority. Then take out the acolytes. Stand anywhere there is no fire to shoot boss. Rinse repeat Room 3: go to far left. When adds spawn, shoot at the closest door on entrance wall. You can trap them all. Melee shanks. If needed run to the other safe spot on the far right. That's pretty much it. Watch out for snipers and don't jump. Learn where the boss teleports to.

Walked in, shot shit, left.

There's no mines. Use strong scout rifle like hung jury. Clear adds. Damage boss. Clear adds. Repeat. That's literally all you have to do. I solo'd it 3 times on each my Titan and hunter (did warlock with brother). It's extremely easy to get 30k high score and 90k cumulative in 3 matches. Make sure you only try for crit shots and use primary as small arms is on.

High impact scout (only weapon you need) Solar shotgun for witch's that get close Didn't use heavy Defender bubble blessing of light Round 1 go right and shoot boss through wall after clearing minions Round 2 clear minions before attacking boss, kill witches immediately but don't risk death also don't jump, ever. Never let boss have line of sight on you while dealing with minions. Round 3 run right until you get to the platform, melee units don't jump up there, hold down there and win. The reduction is around 1000 points each time the message pops up that your taking too long, so no real consiquence. Happy hunting.

Use primary for all the adds, focus precision kills obviously. I used a sleeper simulant for the bosses, seemed to work pretty well. If you're running titan, use hammers on the wizards during the 2nd round. Really the last round is most important, make sure you do well there.
-
Go in, shoot people, win, come out. There's not much to it.
-
Played smart? I admit though the second boss is annoying with those burns.
-
It's very casual. Honestly. Entered it at 318 just to try it out, finished it without a problem. I died once being cocky with a sword, but there's really nothing to it.

3 RepliesEdited by gsRuckus: 4/15/2016 12:44:50 AM318 hung jury 320 1000-yard stare 320 Qullins terminus If you're high enough light (around 315) and have a good enough scout rifle you can oneshot all the enemies (except wizards) until the third round. I also used sunsing with radiant will and radiant skin to make orbs. If it says Variks grows impatient he can -blam!- off. The point reduction makes no difference because you can make up for it easily.

Soloing restoration is harder than soloing joke of the elders. Seriously calling it a challenge is ridiculous. What's worse is there's no leaderboard, so if you managed to get a super high score, congratulations... [spoiler]you win nothing[/spoiler]

320 doom (I only used this pretty much lol) 315 stare 320 Qullim's Terminus Defender with weapons

Edited by Wolf and Sparrow: 4/14/2016 9:51:54 PMIt's easy. No real objectives besides "Kill Everything". The only tedious thing is building up your scorecard. Kill all adds in every wave quickly and pepper the Bullet Sponge Boss until his health triggers the next wave. Ignore Variks. He's just throwing a fit. If he deducts points; oh well. Keep killing things. The Precision kill bonuses more than make up for it. You can finish anywhere from 5-8k points in the first Round, 12-14k second Round, and round it off with 30-45k in the Final Round. It takes a half hour. Edit: oh, and: Orbs. Generate lots of Orbs frequently for a massive point bonus.

7 RepliesTook me a few tries but not too hard. Scout rifle for precision shots. Sniper for boss. Stay moving on ads on the last round. Those vandals will come in quick. I think I ended up with 36000 points my first try.

1 ReplyThere's no mines to dismantle. Every round is a boss round
-
3 RepliesJade Rabbit. The Fate of all Fools perk + Small Arms is so good.
-
2 Repliesdid it 3 times in less then an hour today. both times with only 1 player over 320. no mines. I don't think soloing is gonna be too hard. try the recruitment section. any 2 potatoes will be a strong enough team of solo doesn't work out for you.
