Geez, you've been here this long and haven't gone to the Electric Castle?

Funfact: When Ayreon was first put in he was accidentally made roughly CR 50 and was a +5 dropper. He was also far harder than he is now.

Ayreon is one of my favourite non-epic bosses, I don't go there much anymore though.

I don't think I can solo any epic bosses as my current main, other than Babylon and the Pirate, haven't tried the rest without someone with me.

Yes, I remembered who Ayreon was shortly after I made that post, then I editted. :P

It was genious of Cori. x)

I can solo Babylon, Fire Giant King and Queen, Dominagus, Maxi and Windy with Willow. Might be able to do others but I don't really boss hunt much.

The lich in electric castle is pretty fly too for the levels most players meet him. The lich and the beetle are my favorite bosses.

*cough* ehm.... I can do kobold high priest, chosen of gruumsh...

Le's see...Brena's a wizard...and I've soloed Babylon (When I can find those frickin' gems) Pirate and Chest, Both Actand bosses, Mindflayer boss, that creepy vampire...thing, Maximus, Snowbeast (Once, and that was close) Fire Giant Couple, and Windreaper...that's all I can think of.

Total: 10. Dun know where the rest are, and beholders are just...blegh.

desert beetle matriarch?

I believe the correct tactic is harm followed shortly by a cast of destruction (10d6 damage with zero chance to save ftw). That counteracts her massive regen rate nicely. I think i managed to get her at level 13 or something.

I got a bit puzzled when people started mentioning Ayreon and the Desert Beetle Matriach.

Then I realized those weren't epic bosses.

:roll:

Yeah, and we already know clerics are the best thing since sliced bread...

On Taur pre-rebuild i soloed:

Maxi, FGK, Illithid, The Everlasting, Kraven, Pirate, ASB, Babylon

On Taur post rebuild:

All of the above + Windy and the Darkness.

I've soloed the Beholder Majesty on a similiar build to Taur so unless somethings changed majorly in the last three months with him, i'm sure i can peg all the bosses.

Nah... I'll take my Bard / Something / Something... any day, over a cleric.

Or my super-powerbuilt Paladin. Or my super-powerbuilt mage. Or my non-RDD dev-crit / epic dodger. Or my super-powerbuilt Barbarian.

:wink:

Is Taur a mage?

Pirate? Are you talking about Luchavi? He's hardly epic...

Cleric AFAIK

I don't tend to solo epic bosses much with my two mains (illlithira and Elithiel), mostly because they're not shield wielding builds (they're both cannons so to speak) and thus need a party to do well in PvM. In a party, they excel and dish out the hurt in a big way.

On occasions I have tried to ninja stealth all the way to the bosses (my characters are sneaks/scouts and that's their primary function) but now that bosses have loads of spawns around them, its just too risky to bother with anymore.

The server isn't designed well for sneaks, there should for instance, be a treasure room, where a rogue could actually be a rogue, but alas...its all about killing the boss and getting epic treasure...rather than doing what rogues/scouts/sneaks do and get to things undetected and what people don't want them to get at (like the boss's treasure hoarde).

Having said that, Elithiel has soloed Bablyon and the Snow Abomination. Illithira hasn't soloed anything epic.

"Pirate" would presumably refer to the undead pirate boss in my ocean. Him and his "loot".

I do like to try and come up with interesting things for bosses. My next boss is....evil. If it can be done how I plan. Not epic though. Too bad.

Off note: Ayreon, is not *actually* Ayreon. You aren't killing him over and over. It's his illusory image. He himself is well sealed away enjoying the show you put on for him.

His entire zone is nothing more than a challenge set forth to adventurers to provide himself with entertainment. Which you'd know if I'd actually finished the zone properly. You'd know a lot more about him and the rp behind the Electric Castle zone, and Ayreon the Mad King (now Mad Lich) if I had finished the zone.

Someday.

'Least, that's the profile I made for him when I came up with him. Dunno if teh DM Team has maybe modified the concept. Doubt it though.

Hmm must be a new area? I've only gone into the Fishmen epic area under the oceans...to date.

Nope, it's till the same

and you just don't explore well enough, Sound.

Roland, 30 bard, Maxi and that snow beast. Pre-Job System anyways.

Shame, I used my harm uses on keeping my Setite's Undead alive.

..No, the Undead Pirate with the Loot Chest. I do know the difference between an Epic boss and a non-epic boss, my builds aren't that bad anymore.

Yaston: can kill everything....
Glendil: umm...dun really want to comment that

Epic Bosses
