    [​IMG] Well i know you guys are all thinking that you've had absolutly enough of these god damn solo posts but here i another. I have beaten soa a few times even on insane mod. my fav thing to do was to use invisability, non-detection, protection from evil and gate. but after a while, watching even the best enimies in the game get eaten (if they killed the one i summoned another) and because i had a lev 40 sorcerer the game was rather dull.

    Most of you have probily tryed the shadowkeeper character editor. Well i decided why not make my char level one, and take all his stats down to 3. this made the game near impossable with a blade on the normal setting. it took like 40 days to beat the chateau irenicus!

    if anyone else has any sugestions as to how to make the game even harder please tell me.

    play as a solo sorcerer with straight 3's in stats. Don't permit yourself to use any weapons, items, or cast spells. Also, do not permit yourself to rest, use potions, scrolls, or use temples. Make yourself level one using shadowkeeper, and do not hit the level up button at any point in the game.

    I solo'd through SoA without using any magic items (no potions or scrolls either) or spells. It can be done but you have to pick the right character class or it is impossible. :cool:

    However what nataben1314 suggests is a joke and cannot be done since it's impossible for a sorcerer to do that.

    Actually you can. He did not say you can't use cheat keys :p
    I would just put on god mode and use ctrl + k on all my enemies. :D

    Hard way to play would be to just go through as a solo fighter. Spend half your time running away from mages waiting for their protection spells to run out.

    @Abomination: actually no, a solo fighter would be alright; he would even eat enemy mages for breakfast with the right items.
    Traps and locks would be annoying (a mere nuisance though).

    Stats and level up as much as you want, but no items.

    Monk kicks ass at higher levels, might be kinda hard in the beginning, but after a while...nothing can kill that thing.

    [​IMG] The guitar solo from Slayer's "Killing Fields" is pretty frickin hard if you ask me. (i'm sorry Tal but it was too easy, that's my off-topic joke for the season) ;)
