Solo Solak Melee Camp

Introduction

⬥ This strategy successfully rootskips 75-80% of the time if executed properly.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• A successful rootskip is done by getting Solak's HP down to ~1510K or lower at ~45s.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• If you don't meet this threshold it's advised to ignore the rootskip attempt entirely.

⬥ This strategy is very switch heavy. It's highly advised to be familiar switchingjawsoftheabyss / vestmentsofhavochood, mwspear andlengmh / abyssalscourge comfortably.

⬥ There is a known bug where gbarge doesn't gain adrenaline during the instance start. This occurs when the user has been out of combat for a prolonged time without dropping their previous target.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• The bug is frequently encountered from teleporting out and re-entering quickly.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• The dummy can be used prefight to enter combat to avoid this bug.

⬥ Your ripperpouch will frequently lose their main-target during roots roots of Phase 1.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Click callfollower before arms/legs.

⬥ Dealing 500k, within the first ~45s of the fight for the rootskip

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Spamming ripperscroll with spiritualprayer is necessary.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Be mindful the damage from zekkil eofspec is backloaded so leaving ~15k health is okay.

Phase 2

This phase is divided into two major sections, Eruptions and Blight Bombs/Barrage. Kill the storm and eruptions quickly. Afterwards, survive and DPS to drain his blight.

P2: Eruptions

⬥ Use the two South eruptions to kill the storm. While killing the SE eruption, start a chaosroarzekkil eofspec on solak

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Do not chaosroar during the destroy bleed as destroy will snipe the chaosroar buff.

⬥ Kill the two Northern eruptions ASAP without going up.

P2: Blight Bombs and Barrage

⬥ Expect to take a lot of damage here. If bombs spawn on top of you early, ignore them and vitality. In order to armskip or be near armskip, a full zerk rotation, chaosroar + zekkil eofspec and frontloaded zgs spec are needed.

⬥ Conserve food for Phase 3:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• During Phase 2's blight barrage, res the first hit, and debil later hits.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• disrupt can be used here or in P3 zerk.
