Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except for the Gwenny. Who had lost her dang mind, and was off to solo the Rabid Snarbies.
Loadout:
Skolver set (High and Low Elemental, useless in Snarby)
Barbarous Thorn Shield (Low Elemental)
Shivermist Buster (CTR High, Beast Medium)
Final Flourish (ASI Very High)
Divine Avenger (ASI High)
Polaris (CTR Low, Slime Medium)
Elite Quickstrike Module
Penta-Heart Pendant
Alrighty, here's the start. Social tab open, I'm the only one in the party, gate is unlocked and party Restricted. 298 CE at the moment. Lets see if I can keep it there.
First floor. The Wolvers, Chromalisks, and Silkwings take 3 hits with the FF, the Kats take 3 single hits or a combo from the DA, and the Alpha Wolvers take 5 from FF. Lumbers in all their annoying glory are getting blasted away with the Polaris and DA charges so I can not give an accurate hit count for them. Howlitzers are dying to the Polaris (5 expanded hits). Zombies take 3 DA hits.
Made my way through the first floor. I died 2 times on the first mini-arena and another 2 times on the 2nd mini arena. If I do another solo run I might be crafting a Max Shadow set first, as the Undead are what killed me. Death #4.
And the end of the first floor, 4 deaths total. Not bad I guess for a first solo run. The treasure is yum.
Second floor! All the enemies take the same number of hits. Two paths. I took the right one first. And yes, I waited until the spikes were down and dashed to the next button then let the Wolvers port to me. I'm crazy, not stupid.
Right side is done. Wasn't hard as long as you don't rush it.
And left side done too. I was expecting this one to be harder. The Lumbers eventually make their way near you and you can kill everything with Polaris pretty much. Had to venture in to lure the Kats out and got hit once.
Second floor done! More treasure, nom nom nom.
The lair. Mama and Papa Snarby are not happy to see me... I think they heard I stomped their kid back in T1...
Owwie. One death to the Snarbies, only one against them though.
Yay! Dead Snarbies! Honestly they were not as hard as the first floor was with the 2 mini-arenas.
Welcome to the Unknown Passage. As you can see, still solo. Having a Loadout change:
Skolver set (High and Low Elemental)
Barbarous Thorn Shield (Low Elemental)
Shivermist Buster (CTR High, Beast Medium)
Acheron (ASI High)
Divine Avenger (ASI High)
Argent Peacemaker (ASI Low)
Elite Quickstrike Module
Penta-Heart Pendant
Skolver because I find the Slime projectiles the hardest to avoid. Shivermist is just useful if you can get it charged. Acheron and DA can kill almost everything. The AP is just for the run between the 2 areas.
2 deaths. The final one was literally right as the last gate dropped. Oh well.
Sanctuary! I know it says I would kill myself to show the final rev cost, but you can see what it was in the previous pic (640). The run was fun. I hope you all enjoy the pics.
For those wondering why I did a solo run... it sounded fun. Also when the Lairs were first released I said I would eventually solo the Rabid Snarby (not knowing then that there were 2, but oh well). I did, had fun, blasted through about 1200 CE, and have pics to prove it. If you say "vid or it didn't happen" you can kiss Snarby's butt! :p I don't have the computer capabilities to take vid and not meet the lag demons.
This has been Gwen, your very insane gm of The Risen, signing off! :D

Some great pictures. Congrats Gwen :)
