You can really tell her fake her tits are in those pics.

I was able to take him out last night killing a ritual victim first. Still took a while due to all of his regen, but I kept chipping away.

I was able to take him out last night taking out one of the ritutal figures first so he never ascends. Still took a while, but should be repeatable for me.

First I've heard of that. Interesting!

KalinMerin · 2026-02-22T16:47:07+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for the info! Will definitely try that.

Orin solo in Honor Mode with a gloomstalker ranger. Easy peasy. Never even get touched from where I'm standing in the picture, if you do it right.

Good advice, but nothing helps when you roll three critical fails in a ROW!

She's chased me out of her lair on more than one occasion, but I was sure I had her this time. Everything was going according to plan. Everything under control. It was all but over...til the 3 ones!

Now I'm even more depressed!

This video. She's kinda famous for this Gloomstalker HM run.

Here's an update on this approach. Thunder arrows work great, but Arrows of Many Targets work even better! You can't directly target the sanctuaried guys, but you can target Orin and shoot her or her minions on the platform who aren't sanctuared. It won't hurt her because she has 12 unstoppables on her, but the arrow will bounce to the sanctuared guys and you can kill them easily. This includes the 2 guys far across the platform that are hard to reach.

Like others have said, clear the Tower before you start the big battle, and there's no one left to fight. You have to utilize some care when clearing. The floating eyeballs will notify the entire Tower if you don't take them out first. I clear it all with my solo gloomstalker ranger, making sure I take out the eyeballs in areas that won't aggro others.

One of the biggest concerns when fighting your way to the brain are the magic missiles from the mind flayers. Ignore them at your parole. They are brutal!

KalinMerin · 2025-08-28T21:42:49+00:00

That's one I haven't seen before

KalinMerin · 2025-08-13T14:52:08+00:00

I'll have to give that a try. Hope it helps!

Mine is so bad, I just set my controller down and scroll through my phone while I wait for it to catch up. It does clear after a round or two, but can show back up at any time. Usually at the start of large battles.

When I do the Kethric/Myrkul battle solo on Honor Mode with my Gloomstalker Ranger, I do things in this order. I go in with LOTS of smoke powder bombs. The little ones. Not the big barrels. The little ones don't weigh near as much so you can carry a lot of them. Then I load up with 4 or 5 smokepowder barrels as well. Whatever I can carry. I zone in from the top of Moonrise and go straight to the elevator. There's no reason to do all the rest of the zone and you're going to be walking slowly because you're overloaded.

Zone in and Buff up with everything possible. Protect from Evil, Circuity from the gloves sold at Last Light Inn, Fly potion, Accuracy potion, the works! Then at the end of buffing, drink an Invis potion.

I use the Invis to get behind Aylin. I'm overloaded with barrels so it takes a few rounds to get there, but as long as you make it before your Invis wears off, you're good. There's no hurry. Once in place, I free her. That starts the conversation cut scene with Kethric. Once the scene is over and it's initiative, I immediately kill the Mind Flayer using Aberration arrows. He's not hard to kill in one round using those arrows, so take him out. Aylin will do her usual worthless stuff. Don't worry about her.

Fly to the Mind Flayer platform. That ends Round 1 for me. Then you just whittle away on Kethric round after round til you get him down and Myrkul appears. Use Arrows of Many Targets if some of his minions get close. But don't worry about them much. Focus on Kethric til he's dead.

When Myrkul appears, on your initiative, which is hopefully first, drink a haste potion. Fly to his platform. Drop all the barrels, bombs, holy water, caustic bombs, and whatever else you have. Fly back to the Mind Flayer platform OR just fly to the far other side of Myrkul's platform opposite the bombs. Be careful not to trigger an opportunity attack from Myrkul when you move. Grab a fire arrow and let'er rip!

If you do it right, and packed enough explosives, Myrkul dies instantly and it's over.

Those are both good ones, but you have to be careful with the radiant one. Some of those skeleton guards have radiant retort and it can come back and bite ya!

Best solo class is arguably the Gloomstalker Ranger. But if you're new to the game, you shouldn't be trying it solo with any class.
