My update... I've hit 59 (0% in, lol). I died a bunch trying to get to and figure out the Hole crypt area. Going to try it again soon though. Otherwise it is back to KC basement and just trying to get the 3 spawns by myself during off hours.
For the Guk questions...

I'd love to hear more about your experiences soloing Lower Guk on a cleric. I tried it at 50 and noped out after having trouble breaking the Ass/Sup room.

I'm surprised you're having trouble. With that, I wasn't trying to kill nameds I was there for exp and it's super chill for that.
- With IVU you can move around on dead side safely as only a few named monsters will see you and you would have to seek them out to be seen. There's actually a lot more safe spots than just "safe hall".
- Pacify doesn't need line of sight, but monsters do. Use corners and the camera to safely make pulls. You can almost always get single pulls if you just take it slow.
- Respawn time is like 25-30 minutes. Once you break a camp, you're good for the rest of your session and it's real laid back.
- Don't mess with the casters unless you're good with your stuns. There's tons of Knights (warriors) so you can avoid them.
- Cavalier-area through low-50s. For the mid-high 50s you can do Sentinel-area (safest spot in Guk) or just chill near Hand and run into hallways and snipe the knights (safe down in one of the traps and relatively safe in little hallway before Hand).
- Sentinel-area is right by FBSS camp, which isn't camped that often on blue. You can roll over there and sometimes get lucky with a spawn - again just use Pacify to pull monsters out and then bring it down to safe area by Sentinel to fight. Long fight.
- Exp get really bad at 58 as most are green, but you can push through if you hate yourself. Can't see it being feasible still for 59-60 unless you're able to fight the Bok Knights and higher-wizards which I was not.
- Exile Undead at 55 is a game-changer for smiting Frogs.
- I have relatively bad gear (Full Imbued Koada`Dal Mithril, no epic), but I did have 170 CHA without any gear swaps and I rarely would get critical resists. Additionally, I could pretty much face tank frogs.
- Lastly, make sure you buff yourself. I kept these 4 buffs up at all time - Armor of Protection (39 spells, stacks with everything), Symbol of Pinzam (best Japser one, don't even need to use the Peridot ones), Heroism, and Resist Magic (I like to pretend it works on Frog root, but doesn't feel like it).

Yup! Guk is a great zone to get good with your pacifying skills as the risk isn't too high as the Frog's (aside from the nameds and casters) don't hit too hard. I rarely even would camp out as post 55 you can just burn one down with exile undead and then atone/pacify and be good.
