If you do this alone, prepare to die A LOT, and have 1 million gold ready to spend on health potions and armor/weapon upgrades. The Underground map was horrible, be sure to look for hidden switches everywhere. Went through all 4 maps with just me playing alone in Adventure mode. I obtained this achievement absolutely SOLO. There also doesn't seem to be anyone online playing with these maps while it's pretty easy to find a party to run with on the main game adventure maps. I was hoping for some good loot and some good maps to level on but didn't come away with much, I was still swinging the same weapon that I started with at the end of the 4 maps, I didn't find anything better. All and all I was a bit disappointed in the DLC maps probably not worth the points but you can also get the maps with the GOTY and Velvet editions of the game.
Note that this build also got me through the main game adventure mode solo without much difficulty. If you stand in one place you will get hit by multiple spells/arrows and die quickly run up to one of the mages, unleash a barrage then run away until it recharges. There are several encounters with multiple mage/archer types that you have to employ a hit and run technique, i.e. So if you see one while you are exploring it's usually better to pass it by and wait until you are hurt to use it rather than take a boost in a stat that won't help any i.e. You can also use the endurance/strength/willpower/accuracy altars and they will heal you fully. If you get hurt either use a healing potion or run away and recharge naturally. If there are mages or archers on the field always go for them first to interrupt their spells/ranged attacks. While in a defensive stance you will also get occasional barrage swipes from the retribution skill. Go into defensive stance and do a normal swing until RB recharges then spam it again. Tactics - run up to a group of enemies and do a radial barrage.
I didn't put any points in accuracy or willpower I had about a 2 - 1 ratio between the two. Skills - Most important to max out are radial barage, retribution, defensive stance, elemental resistance, resilience, poison resistance and physical resistance.Īttributes - Strength is most important followed by endurance. You also want a 2 handed blunt weapon for dealing with slash resistant monsters (stone sentinels, necris, tailer, golems, etc) Here's the build I used:Ģ Handed polearm warrior - I used wieldy naganita for most encounters but any long polearm should work. I started at about lvl 30 with 60K gold and finished at lvl 39. I was able to complete the 4 maps solo and I didn't need a million gold to do it and was able to clear the encounters.
