Yo,

could someone tell me if there is anything to worry about while exploring the maze solo?

I decided to explore the maze (for most of the time) on my Magician's climb to hunt warm lights (given their increased effectiveness lately).

Other than life bar reacting a little bit more alarming than on my melee climbs, I haven't experienced any surprises (and didn't need to log out vs the Sneaky Shell )

BUT
I see there are lots of new objectives I haven't had a chance to complete yet.

ALSO
I remember the Ambush! being pretty bad ass, but last time I completed it was in a group like a decade ago, lol xd I wonder how I could handle it now while solo'ing.


Thank you in advance!

Not really, 4 corners is the only hard one, But 1-2 is ok. 3+ is not so easy..
Easy to avoid this one tho just stay away from the corners!

face the evil is always difficult but generally rare as fack and not especially dangerous. Should be able to flee quickly and refresh the map
Ambush can hit hard very quickly, this is probably the main reason to stick above 50% life

Main reason to die these days is connection issues, as if you disconnect/close the window, you stay in the dungeon and take 10 hits (or rounds of hits? seem to take more vs 3 mobs before being sent to town).
So if your connection is at all unstable this can be a problem.


Also as said, 4 corners are difficult but there's no reason to defeat them, if you accidently walk into a corner, go to town make a group then immediately disband it to refresh the map/mobs.

exploring the maze solo there is nothing to be worried about at all except like Spanks said four corners.

you will never spawn Face solo, or EE, or Shamans, the only *hard hitting quests*

Ambush is seriously Tamed compared to what it used to be all the HC players whining about how difficult it was, nerfed drastically, ( and the drop rates as well). If they get the drop on you it might be sketch, but they hit maybe .25 of the damage they used to cause with no heal charms, so easy to just pick away at them.

since when? i've spawned em a few times within the past year, perhaps not after the most recent patch

Pinch maybe. Not face.

Face is a 9 wave ep. =Need 4 people minimum

pinch i always fight at level 10-20. Face always spawned 3 when i was solo and only at level 60+ generally.

Could be wrong, but the text is very specific when face is spawned, clearly not being ambush/pinch/corners because of it.
Also too strong to be either ambush/pinch.
So memory suggests it's face.

I’ve never spawned face but I’ve only done like 20-25 solo mqs

So not much changed, Ambush nerfed and no objective with too much + % Quick Draw + Critical Strike + % Power Shot modifier at once

50% of life is still my rule (and around 90 vita*), so...

Whatever happens, I just don't want to be on 1 hit by surprise.

Looks like your answers explained it all.

Big thanks!

* ok, for melee chars it's actually 88 vita


it's clearly some serious obsession!

No one mentioned the objective deez? Watch out for that one.
