BST Solos

The struggle with the fight is killing it before your first Dipper depops, with all the sleep capabilities Vrtra has to his arsenal, he can seriously drag out the fight. That and his natural regen which is a fair rate. So in conclusion, if your first Dipper depops (120mins FROM callbeast), or dies the fight is over if your solo. I was fairly lucky on solo, he didn't spam sleep as much as he can and my dipper is fairly evasive w/ two +20 EVA trial axes, thus I could afford to use reward to just wake my dipper up after sleep.

Does Vrtra even drop anything worth the trouble?

Depending your servers price for cashmere cloth, it's a guranteed w/e the price of the cloth is. On my server, can sell a cashmere cloth for 4-5m, so for me, Vrtra is a guranteed 4-5m. Then he can drop a wyrm horn, that's jumped in price now due to alcide harness, tis about 600k a horn here. You can only get a cloth outta Vrtra if you aren't lazy tho however, as it only drops all the mats required for the cloth, doesn't phyically drop the cloth. But that being said, naturally, the mats for the cloth will fetch a nice price.

Erm Cashmere? Wyrm Horn? ... -> ($.$)

I'll give it a try tomorrow - need to craft a few Dawn Mulsum just incase..

Looking up some posts noticed you said you solo'd the ks99 behemoth, I must say I'm impressed, tho to be fair, I didn't use these mulsums and used zeta biscuits. With those 2.9k rewards I can see it being possible, tho was meteors not reaching the point where they wud one-shot? they were starting to really sqaush my dipper.

Don't use Dipper on this Behe - it has not much HP and melee hits of this Behe aren't that hard with a good pdt build. Sheep is awesome against it! Much more HP, more powerful hits,... Meteors were weak - around 600 dmg and 2 or 3 times ~ 1,1k.
Started with Rewards but got hit by meteor everytime so I trusted in Dawn Mulsum. Wanna try Tiamat soon lol - 160 Dawn Mulsum and maybe a mule with a few more close to his pop areal. No timers and you can use it from everywhere - I know Tiamat isn't hard and you can kill him with a party of BST without Dawn Mulsum but a solo would be awesome (Gaiters coooomee to meee! lol).

I'm not sure, but I think Nazuna has a fire resist on it or sth like that. Killed a few Shoggoth and other NMs/normal Mobs and every fire spell was weak on the sheep compared to Dipper. Dipper is awesome for Fafnir and Wind/Earth Mobs - test it on Cerberus with Spikes - killed him with Sheep and with Dipper - Dipper takes more dmg. Further testing needed maybe just luck ^^;

Not sure if Tiamat can be solod yet, obvs her fire air attacks are very consistant + gaIII, fiery blast but that's not really the main issue with Tia. With Tia, It'd be the innate potent atk boost she recieves at 25% HP combined with MS every time she lands from flight,
NN wont evade much and will likely get squashed fast. Lowmanned Tia recently w/ few friends me on RDM/NIN, below 25% she caught me buffing with her atk boost up and MS, she DA'd and put me in red staight from full HP + SS. So yeah, at that point shes a fkin truck. But then again, can get a nice PDT-set, but still, idk, I'd doubt it would be a win solo.

There are other NMs that I have soloed, but I have not listed them here because it is like usually the easier seal NMs. There are a lot of NMs that BST can kill as long as you apply yourself, do your research, use strategy, and are patient. There are some NMs that BST cannot solo due to circumstances such as Briareus, Sobek, or Bukhis. There are reasons we can't, HP down is bad for pets!

Question is how many were pre DG and Post DG patch >.>

People who think the DG patch changed much do not play BST solo quite often.

Nothing has changed, really. I just use Regen atma now instead of zenith. Each and every NM i could solo before patch i can still solo w/o much difference.

If I knew how to just quote you I would. Apparently, you didn't get the fact that I am as well a career beast.... I do this on a daily basis, and get away with some stuff I shouldn't be getting away with.. I was just curious and asking a question.. Because we all know now to use DG MC (optional atma here)

Ninja Edit: And with as much soloing as I do on my dnc as well.. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing vs what ^^

When I did it for someone (wasn't complete solo) Yuly made that Behe look like a complete joke. Meteor never did in excess of 1.1k except mainly for suicide meteor, I wasn't in range for it to see damage, but Yuly didn't die.
I sat at 25' and ran from Meteor, only got hit once due to aoe stun prior to it.

For the Behemoth KS99, which Axes did you guys use? PDT, Eva and/or M.def?

- alfard
- turul
- carabosse
- sedna
- all ironclads (soloable by all bsts)
- indrik
- Orthrus
- Itzpapalotl
- all zms missions
- all pms missions (not the pot one)
- jailer of temprace
- jailer of faith
- bennu
- katea
- lusca
- yaanei

and a lot more too lazy to type

I thought this was a topic where we listed our achievements and discussed in order to learn new methods and ways we can improve our soloing.

The list is ALL post-patch. I use Atma of the Ducal Guard, Atma of the Mounted Champion, and a third atma that is situational. If I do not need an extra atma to make my soloing easier, then I use Atma of the Razed Ruins. I have all of the +100 elemental resist atmas, so I use them if the NM warrants it. For example, on Hrossvalhur and Sedna I would use Atma of the Lake Lurker with Fatso Fargann to improve my water defense. Sometimes, I might use Atma of the Viccistude to make my regen higher if the NM hits a little hard.

The pet I use can be situational for me. If I do not need to worry about the pet, I use my LuckyLulush since it is a reliable Damage Dealer. On Battlerigged Chariot for example, I used the Raptor because he has a natural fire resist which would make the fight easier. On Amhuluk, I would use DipperYuly due to his wind resist. And for Sedna I would use FatsoFargann.

I wonder though, can Alfard or Ironclad Trituator can be soloed post-patch though.

Yea alfard can be done np just takes awhile.

you need ducal guard, double evasion axes,eva atma, razed ruins for alfard +dipper yul, and switch to double pdt axes periodically for Serpentine Tail , can be done with just pdt axes but serpentine tail can be annoying by replacing the eva atma for regen , anwing helm with pet regen bonus helps a lot, i honestly think that putting atk+15 instead regen of pet it's a big waste

alfard is a joke now with the new spamable food

Somebody a few posts above said all the Ironclads can be soloed by BST. The Trituator in Abyssesa - Ulegeurand, I heard from my BST LS, is not soloable by BST. But I'm open to finding out how it can be done.

I see no way a BST can kill Trit. That thing is just nasty.

Pretty sure BST prefer the Haste and -10% DT over the regen. Haste helps for the DoT since you will likely use Anwig for your "Hybrid" set because it's necessary for the -87.5% DT cap. I don't even think you can get Atk+15 on the helm or Regen on the body.

Mind being less cryptic about the Vrtra thing? Cause it sounds fun.

Can PM me if you want, just wondering if whatever the trick is, if it will work if I tribox my BSTs, or if it is a solo trick.

@maxel
ya im talking about the regen vs the pet atk, but im haste/damage taken 10 on my helm

Tried soloing it once. It whent good for a while, but then he kept spamming invincible over and over. He couldn't kill my pet but my pet where in no way able to kill him either. This was after pdt fix

looking for some advice -

is a BST duo against ulhadashi(sp?) a viable idea? if so, what would be the best jug? I have mdb axes, but not much else in the way of mag. def. thanks in advance

I see Amhuluk in the list, can anyone give me any tips for this?

Cheers.

was amazingly simple duo. I don't think we even needed the 2nd bst. Dipperyuly, standard atmas, no trial axes when we killed

Doesn't really seem like any big trick to it, it actually looks like some of the BSTs are afk after watching the video closer. Soloing might take a little more attention.
