Hey soloing krayts aint too hard if you have 80% kinetic armor...150+ melee defense...fully buffed HAM...master brawler


Fighting as swordsman, center of being first, thenI'd just warcry2 and intimidate2 the lizard, use DoT mind stack bleeds and head hit 3. Use warcry2 every 30 seconds to prevent the dragon hitting you and intimidate to lessen the severity of the damage if it does hit you. Be sure to use a well crafted power hammer and sliced for 35% damage with 32% max damage 16% min damage powerup for max damage on the hammer to be over 800. Mind bleeds should be veryhigh and the dragon's mind will drain very quick. Dont get that speed slice so you can hit the dragon faster...speed dont mean anything to me any more...its all about the damage...b/c the damage generates higher bleeds

This is near impossible for me. I've successfully solo'd one of the junior canyons, but lost to a canyon krayt. I had him down to about half health and then all of a sudden he hit me for about 900pts three or four times in a row.


So, anyways...How do you all that pull these tissues/pearls solo these things?

its easy, if your ranged proffession! Just use snare shot and run around in circles, keep them snared and if they dont get snared and catch up use knock down to save your ass until you snare them again. I have noticed that carb snare sticks and effects much better then the rifleman snare shot!

They can be soloed...but why the hell would you want to even waste the time?


FFS take some friends and kill them.

I solo 20 or so krayts a day.
My formula for killingis as follows:



My Professions: I'm a Master Bounty Hunter, Master Rifleman, Pistoleer 0004. But you can be effective with any profession that allows you to slow the krayt and hit ranged or if you're a tank just stand your ground and let em have it.



My Armor & Weapon: I use a suit of 7k kin composite with 5-6k elemetal for killing krayts and a 1145 max damage 82 sac 568 dps heavy lightning rifle as my weapon. I would recommened having high kinetic armor with a riflefurther you can stay from the krayt the better) that has 82 sacthe minimum) and decent damage750-1000 is fairly easy to find and usually under 300k if you shop around).



My Attacks Used: Cover Shot,Critical Shot, Head Shot, Torso Shot, Underhand Shot, Knee Cap Shot, Stopping Shot, Sniper Shot.


My Buffs: I usually use no buffs at all because I have a 82 sac rifle with a 21% stock on it which gives me low 60s in sac. You should go for any type of action regen increaser if you are running out of action.



My Droids: Sometimes if i'm feeling frisky and lonely I'll use a probot but it's not needed and only really makes things slightly easier.



My Tactics: Asuming you are doing wild spawns there will be a canyon and a juvi, If they are far enough apart (about 30+ meter to be safe) I snare, torso, crit, head shot, cycle between crit and headshot till bleed wears off and then stick another torso, when snare wears off I hit it with a stopping shot and then this is where you can be real tricky or safe. You can continue running and keepcycling your crit and head or soon asyou see that the root stuckyou drop to prone, click aimed shot and then sniper,then stand and continue to hammer it with crit and head(usually by the time I stand and take a shot it's un rooted and barreling towards me) add in a snare and repeat till it dies.


If the krayts are too close together I cover, pick the one closest and use cover shot, wait about 5-10 seconds and hit it with another cover shot, then get up and snare and do as I stated above. This keeps the other krayt from attacking.



Run Down:


Snare slows the krayts down to about equal your speed, the juvis are fast so you gotta keep a eye on them and have your knockdown ready if they get too close. The grands are sluggish so you can usually half-ass it without trouble, mind you if they get too close it can hurt.


Root is a obvious tactic as it gives you time to put distance between you and your target or setup some combos like aim and sniper.


Headshot and Crit are agruably the two best cycled attacks and they do hella damage specially when a crit hits.


Bleed is just generaly nice to hinder the krayts health regen.


The aimed and sniper combo takes some practice and can get you hit if you arent careful so I would recommend getting some practice with just kiting using the tactics I provided till you're comfortable.



Overall I suggest practicing with your template. Use your slowing shots and your stopping shots as needed and keep a knockdown ready incase you screw up and it gets too close, cycle your two best attacks over and over and it WILL go down. Takes about 5 minutes for me to kill a krayt so there is no need to call your buddys to come and help.


Krayts ARE soloable and it doesnt take a god with a 50 million dollar setup to take one down. I've done it with a 750 damage rifle and no armor. Just remember to keep yourcrap together, if it starts to bite you dont freak out, knock it on its ass or stopping shot it and pop a bacta or a stim.

I solo them MBH/MCM/0003 pistoleer (don't really use root much mainly for the great +30 melee and ranged def) and it takes forever. And yeah, if they warp or theres lag they'll hit you from 64m away and kill ya. If they're outta melee range (10m) and hitting you knock down them and they'll magically slide to where they really are.

But soloing em is a true pain and you can kill them 3 to 4 times faster with a partner.

I usually group with a jedi hunting pearls, he/she gets pearls, I get tissues, we lotto everything else. Works beautifully.
