I finally managed to kill this damn frog. After a week of struggle. A week that made my exp bar move from 45% to 22%, without ever eating a single exp death.

Most of these deaths occured while trying to reach disco (or trying to CR myself). It's a bit ridiculous, I know. Sometimes I would lose patience and just eat 4 deaths in a row, trying to CR myself without any gear... The recent changes in the amount of see invis mobs in Sebilis really hurt the solo wizard [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Anyway. When I could make it alive around the ostiary spawn point, I would try different methods to get the kill. At first I wanted to fight him (or his PH) in the hallway. But the three roamers were too much to handle most of the time. I needed a place to pull the ostiary and his friend to a place the roamers wouldn't aggro me. The closest room to allow this is frenzied pox scarab's room. A room I've been able to clear to solo the scarab.

So this is what I would do : kill the scarab to be able to move around in that room. It would give me enough space to move around, nuke freely and refresh root (I wouldn't need to kill the 2 remaining frogs, as they would be behind that wall, in the other part of that room). Here's an example of handling two melees there : http://i.imgur.com/oHpzFgD.jpg


Once I was ok with how I would do it, I gave it a try. I failed a couple times to a bok shaman or an unlucky root break. Once I had the room ready, a melee frog next to the ostiary. Perfect setup. I was this close to engage but an enchanter beat me to it and engaged first.

And finally, tonight, after camping there yesterday night, I logged on to another perfect setup : a light blue PH and another melee next to him. So I disintegrated the PH, then proceed to kill the scarab inside the room and finally killed that melee frogs next to the ostiary spawn point. I did this cycle another time and then the Ostiary popped. It was now an easy single pull and an even easier kill. After all, he's just a level 50 warrior.

This encounter was definitely the most difficult sofar.
