looking for party for level 1-29 achievement
Fri, 07/15/2011 - 21:26
i'd like to get the achievement for doing every level in 1 run. it would be a bit hard for me to solo (no 5-star gun) and boring so i'm looking for 1-3 other people who want to do it too
since it will take 3-4 hours i'd like to make it as fast and easy as possible but if everyone else disagrees i'm fine with going with the majority. my preference would be:
no T2 or T3 bosses
no danger rooms
construction zones just open treasure room and exit
arena levels we can just clear first room and exit
not completely a speed-run, we can fight the stuff we run across but generally trying to take as many shortcuts as possible. although like i said if we have 3 people who all want to kill every last monster i can do that as well.
i'm looking for people who have a lot of experience and excellent gear so we can do this as effortlessly and efficiently as possible
any time is good for me and it will probably be hard to schedule an exact time just using this forum thread so i think the best thing is if we just post our in game names and if we happen to see other people on we can just go do it.

I did it solo with all 4-star
I did it solo with all 4-star equipment. Its possible, just be careful and... don't die. xD
I'm a swordsman type - I carry 3 swords (shadow/piercing/elemental) and elemental gun for graveyards and constructs.

I think you should just solo
I think you should just solo it.
1. All the loot goes to you so you'll make bank.
2. You'll learn to not rely on others and discover new/better strategies and ways to do things.
3. If in a group that means the game changes to a team game and although people should be looking out for each other if another person wants Dauntless Delver they could give you up to get it. Or you could be carrying people that want it and they're just running in circles to not die.
4. Just make sure you have equipment to have either super effective or normal damage output. Defenses matter but not that much.
5. And as a helpful reminder: take your time (DO NOT RUSH ANYTHING), play it safe but don't gimp yourself (don't skip all of the gates in a construction room, you lose out on so much) and take it seriously (if you half ass it, you'll never get it).
I do it all the time on the gate that has Poison and Ghost at Tier 3. It's the easiest, I think. All I use is an Seraphic, Sinister Skelly, an Elemental Sword and Valiance.
Goodluck. :)

It is 0 through 29. I would
It is 0 through 29. I would suggest the Snarbolax gate and doing it solo. It is extremely easy solo, and unless you have someone willing to tank all the damage you probably would not be successful in a group.
Every gate has a boss. If you want no tier 2 or tier 3 boss, then you'll have to do the gate with Snarbolax. Right now, that means Amber Falcon, which has a fiend-themed sixth stratum. In particular, that means you've got your choice of either Sinful Steps or Sinful Steps II at depth 27, both of which are among the hardest levels in the game.
I just did dauntless delver in a PUG in the new Emerald Queen gate. I did have one guildie there for part of the time, and someone else on my friends list part of the time, but it was a lot of random people beyond that, none of which were especially good, though the only ones who were flagrantly bad didn't go beyond tier 1, where it's expected that new players are allowed to be flagrantly bad. The only five star gear I have at all is a trinket--and my other trinket slot is empty. So Emerald Queen is very doable without needing great gear.
I think Emerald Queen would be a lot easier than trying to get through Sinful Steps I/II. That does go through the Roarmulus Twins, but they aren't hard. Unless you have the bad luck to draw a hard graveyard at depth 26, the only hard level in the whole gate is Cooling Chamber/Infernal Passage at depth 28. But you can opt out of that by waiting for Devilish Drudgery/Hiring Freeze instead.
If you don't want to try Emerald Queen, then you could wait four days and see if Coral Clover is easier than Amber Falcon. There will be a new gate with Snarbolax as the only boss every eight days.
My advice would be, don't try for Cradle and All until you're ready to try for Dauntless Delver. Otherwise, you'll have to come back and do Cradle and All a second time to get Dauntless Delver. And you're not ready to try for Dauntless Delver until you can typically get through all of tier 3 without dying, at least in a relatively easy gate such as Diamond Lion or Emerald Queen, and if you avoid the optional hard parts such as danger rooms and third arenas.
