Triple Crown solo ?

[Kehldael]

Is that even possible ?

[Kiya]

It has been done at least twice that I know of - once with a barbarian build and once with a cipher[forums.obsidian.net]

[Qiox]

And both of them save scummed, so no, it's not really possible without cheating, yet.

[Kehldael]

Noone tried with a ranger (means 2 chars instead of only one) or a fighter ?

[Kehldael]

I'd like to see it done with a priest or a druid

[Revolucas]

Yeah they definitely cheated on the last boss. Who knows if they cheated anywhere else. It wouldn't be too hard to cut a video on a loading screen and make it look seamless. You can just activate pause on death and just quit the game. That is how easy it is to cheat in Trial of Iron. Not too mention that IE Mod reactivates achievements when you use console cheats. Someone having the achievement is not a good indicator they did it legitmately. Josh Sawyer wrote a nice message to people who look in their savegame folder with a Trial of Iron save in it.

The Cipher admits to save cheating throughout, not just in the last fight.

The Barbarian says the save cheated at the last fight, and they explain how they exploited a bug during the last fight.


It does not look like anyone has figured out a build for a legitamate triple crown solo yet.

I'm working on doing it on Hard first to learn the ins and outs of the game. And I'm doing it with full clearing all fights (so far) to learn exactly what to avoid on a triple crown solo run.

Level 8 in act 2 on my current try. I've started over when each time I died. Doing it with a fire god like fighter.

I have a party of 6 run on Path of the Damned who is ahead of the solo run to learn how it differs from Hard.

not solo crown but i try to achive normal triple crown. So far i died 6 time. First 2 time was because developer did very ♥♥♥♥♥♥ job creating story companions. Most of them builded wrong. And they choose worst posible traits and abilities for casters. Basicly with custom party game 2-3 times easier.

Isn't a moon godlike better for solo runs ? I mean, they got some pretty badass heals

All my early tries were with a Moon God-like and yes they are very good. But those tries were on non-fighters.

My current try with a fighter does not have death by Endurance loss issues. His regen keeps him alive. It's actually death by running out of Health in long fights that is the problem. That's why I am trying fire god like for the extra AOE dps to damage the ones I'm not swinging at.

So far so good, but again, just on Hard difficulty for now. Not sure if this build will survive on Path of the Damned.

There's a video on Youtube where some French guy completed the game on PotD solo but it's not a triple crown playthrough just on PotD difficulty as a rogue, he even shows you his build and equipment, and one little exploit which isn't really cheating, the video is the final boss fight and how he managed to beat it, the video is only 15 mins long and it made the fight look really easy

EDIT: Heres a link to the video

Developer did the correct thing with the NPCs, hate to break that information to you. It's a role-playing game - not every fighter is going to be a brute with no intelligence, nor will every wizard be smart and frail. Min-maxing is not supposed to be the standard in RPGs and pen and paper games.

I mean, if we're going to just min-max every barbarian in the game's universe will be a scholar, because being intelligent means they can hit more targets with their sword; and thieves and rogues will tread the fine line between dumb and moronic, because intelligence doesn't help with their criticals.

There's this. I wouldn't know if this is completely legit.

If he still had summons that finished the fight that would be OK.

Maybe at some point in the development process they did not suck. Luckily someone came along and corrected that mistake. Story companions are only for the story sadly, that and chilling at your keep. Still, some of them do OK if you pick them up early enough. Good engough to at least keep them in the party for their colorfull banter. Though, after a while, said colorfull banter may cause you to want to push them into a deep hole.
