How Easy Are Solo Raids? New Player Tries Solo Thaemine in Lost Ark

[@PiFsc2]

As a new player, these videos are super funny and super educational at the same time! Peak entertainment, good job!

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

Was wondering if you were gonna see this, appreciate all the love on the previous ones, just glad some enjoy these still!

[@petetam7394]

very nice, Mark and you are back . Yeah with a 1640 the Thaemine solo is a lot easier. However this is a good thing for new and casual player as they can enjoy the game. Look foward to see ya all do Echidna. sidenote: I tested this mode with a 1610 toon 35 elixir , it takes a bit more effort to dodge pattern and need somewhat decent uptime and do all the clashes. But overall the mode is very enjoyable for new / casual player.

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

Are the clashes a noticeable bump in dmg when u get the boost though? only saw the one aha Appreciate the kindness friend!

[@petetam7394]

@@IntoTheCrawlspace oh yeah i meant for a squishy class at ilevel can not always face tank like Mark does with his GL💀, if the clash when Thaemine slide the platform in half miss, it would be a bit struggling to push to basement. Anyway i have a GL alt that i have not play a while after seeing Mark doing I probably pop him up and test 😆

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

@petetam7394 yeah I made a 1660 non gold earning GL alt just because how easy Mark makes it look like to just get through content in this game lol

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

Apologies on the delay, Holidays plus back to back Sickness episodes stalled this one out. We also kept to the previous method of keeping a lot more of the raiding moments in . I hope you enjoy and if you have any raid specific questions ask below, myself or others can help!

[@omg1876]

As a new player, him choosing blue GL was probably THE best choice. It's literally OP for any content via solo mode lmao! My friends who chose anything else ran out of potion boxes by now! 😅

[@HeiLong24]

I hope they come out with a solo version of this raid that's higher difficulty (that's optional, and for solo players to practice in their own time). red patterns should immediately kill.

[@IsuzaPlays]

The thing is when you jump from solo mode to normal/hard is like jumping from tutorial to final boss, there is no middle ground, they should add second difficulty from solo mode

[@chrisjo9840]

HOOOOOLEH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

Apologies on the delay my friend, back to back colds delayed this far too long!

[@JustinNel-mz6jp]

I just binge watched the series and now im starting to watch the Thaemine prog with 1 drinking game in mind: Each time he says "Brother" I have to take a shot. I might wake up a week from now, wish me luck

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

I was about to start this reply with “brother…” o7 see you in a week good sir

[@JustinNel-mz6jp]

They nerfed it too much... im still sober

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

I will up the brother exclamations on the surely clean echidna run

[@HooveyGuy]

Oh shi! The Goat is back!

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

Bless you friend!

[@anarchean]

Lmao, "anyone watching is infuriated that somehow youre still alive!"

[@zeroinfinito722]

Gj!!

[@ethernet8042]

Damn, they made this raid absolute free in solo mode, red patterns barely do any dmg even with a bunch of stacks, thats a crazy baby mode lol

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

The fact that he didn’t have to recognize and actively avoid the red patterns was a somewhat shock to me lol

[@ilovewater8720]

nice video :)

[@chris_peon]

You should have increased the death count in brackets when he should be death from free fall etc haha

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

I was going to since I believed it made sense to inform a realistic death count, but I thought it may confuse people in regards to restarts lol. I’ll keep that in mind for echidna in regards to the brackets though, I think that would work. Appreciate the comment!

[@HeiLong24]

agreed. at least a separate counter for when he wouldve been dead even in normal mode

[@mar2x958]

now gate 4 thaemine

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

I don’t know if mark has the attention span for me to explain g4 to him….

[@starm8848]

Might be just my take but I feel like they made G3 too easy I know that it's supposed to be new-player friendly but him literally standing in the arena break slams and not even losing his shield from the dmg just doesn't sit right with me

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

I think you can audibly hear me in somewhat shock when mark was able to survive two insta death mistakes in one pull. I think I would fully agree with you if this was July when I believed these needed to uphold some format of difficulty of its normal variation to uphold its challenge and with that it’s fun. But after seeing so many comments on this series with people hitting enrage timer because of a lack of knowledge of the different damage increase variables in our game on characters 100 ilevel over and a low chance of smilegate implementing a easy mode for group raids, I’m actually starting to think this is the perfect difficulty for the new player. You gotta imagine this will become the first raid people go into with new passes as they would be slightly overleveled but still make great gold from it at 1620-1640. I do think it is a shame they are missing the true beauty of the raid but in a game hemorrhaging new and returning players, I think we need this super training wheels difficulty so they can get a bearing on the game aha

[@starm8848]

Fair enough I also felt like the previous solo raids were a bit overtuned for new players so I wasn't surprised with them going easier on the future solo raids but I hope that in the future maybe they will introduce more difficulty levels for solo raids so people which seek challenge (alone) in the game can experience it while allowing the casuals to have a really chill and easy experience clearing them I feel like this would be the best middle ground

[@IntoTheCrawlspace]

@starm8848 I think that’s the dream, more options for the player base. I was shocked they had solo raids for echidna and thaemine so who knows, maybe they are investing more focus on this than I previously thought.

[@hubachecka]

I went in there with my 1610 on ilvl deathblade and I can also tank up to x10 critical debuff and still survive a hit from his red pattern... No idea why they thought it's a good idea to make a instakill mech (in the actual raid) be basically completly tankeable in solo. Every solo player coming over to the actual raid will absolutely get curbstomped by Thaemine :D
