i read the 'how to solo a nightsister elder' post.. sounds pretty cool but i havent tried it yet


i'm currious if a rifleman 4044 / doc 4440 / combat medic 4004 could solo a krayt utilizing similar hit and run style tactics. probably so.


i took out a giant dune kimo last night with a combo of mind disease / mind poison and headshot 3..it took me 20 minutes or so but he went down...


I've never faced a krayt before. please weigh in

Kimo's aren't nearly as tough as krayts. However, there are 2 main way's that riflemen solo krayts, the first one is the slowest and not a garuanteed kill. Jut get about 60m away and conceal shot hoping it doesn't despawn, wander toward you or notice you. The second, and more sure way, is by useing the awesome power and speed that comes from being master. Just role in their buffed/armored out the arse blasting away with a T21. You have an interesting build however. I beleive that you're mind poisonX2, mind diseaseX2, mind bleedX2 and HS3 should be able to drop the krayt in a desint amount of time. You're Doc skills should come in handy with staying alive while his mind withers away.

Just one question at prone 60m away does conceal shot 100% conceal you or is there a chance that it will fail and you will be agroed???? If so then I'm going after a kryat. Also do you get any loot for killing a kryat, i heard somewhere that you dont get a pearl.

Conceal shot works to not ever draw aggro from a MOB as long as:



  • You are out of normal range of detection of the MOB

  • You do not miss more than once in a row

  • You do not draw a DOT on the MOB

You can solo any MOB in the game using it, but it is possible, and even likely that your conceal will be broken before you finish a large MOB like a krayt due to "the random bleed". There is a chance that any shot will draw a 1 point bleed on a creature, which will alert it of you and cause it to aggro on you. If this happens, you have to be ready to run, or be able to tank the creature.


Krayts drop pretty much the best loot in the game besides maybe the Nightsister Spiderclan Elder Axvia Minh (sp) at the bottom of the NS stronghold or the occasional rare loot from Tuskens or other NSs. Exceptional and Legendary T21's have been known to be pulled from the bellies of slain krayt dragons as well as krayt pearls, krayt tissues, krayt scales, and krayt armor segments.


^ Original Post: You should be alright soloing krayts. Try concealing till your conceal breaks and then just strafe2, stack poisons and diseases, and stim E any damage you take away. You'll probably want to have dancer and musician buffs in order to handle the inevitable mind damage you'll take as well as plenty of brandy and canape flowing through you, but you should be fine.

ok here is the fastest way to solo krytes....


1. get fully buffed... fully armored...

2. find a spawn where there is a juvy and reg caynon near each other... drop a mind bleed on both of them, you need both to argo... you have about 2 secs to get away while they roar to follow you...

3. run towards the nearest spawn of non agro creatures... tap the nest to get mre to spawn... yes you'll pick up more agro...

4. /peace, get a safe distance (70m or so)away while the dragons agro and kill all the other creatures... then they will agro each other... volia you just picked up the best tank in the game...

5. plnk away at the reg canyon's mind while the juvy takes the beating...


with the CM build you have it should makeup for the lack of speed you don't have without MRifle... but whatever ya do don't toss area disease/bleeds on the dragons (you'll kill the juvy to fast)


don't mess with the giant or ancient dragons, they aren't worth the time or the loss of your weapon...


if you work this right you can kill all 4 spawns of dragons within the hour timeframe before they despawn... 8 dragons in an hour (makesure your inventoy is pretty empty or you have drop a factory to hold the loot)...


on a side note this also works very well on enraged kimo's... but plan on dieing a few times till you get the hang of it... plus you need to take into account that when the dagons get to about 10k HAM they run away... and they are glichy beings, i've been in range of them at upto 85m away...


like someone else said ginat dunes are easy compared to krayts...

that's all great but how about if you just draw out the juvie and kill it. you will get 7 juvie spawns if you don't kill the canyon krayt and they are quite easy. especially with a DXR6

Hi, I have just established a little town on Tatooine on Tarquinnas. Nice little town, and when I started it, it was completely clean of mobs in the area. Had been for at least 2 days.

Now we have Krayts. Not just any Krayts either but some nice big CL84 type critters, although also down to CL79 Juveniles.

So my question is: I am currently TKM/MRanger and although I like Ranger a lot, its not suited for combating really nasty things. Even con or a little higher are no problem. Krayts are a massive problem.

With an eye towards clearing out my Krayts periodicallly, is there a Template that will let me use TKM (and my sliced ADKed Knuckles of Katarn) to kill off these lizards from hell? Will TKM/MDoc/Swords 0040 do it? Some other combination? Seems like unless I want to move the whole township, I gotta find a way to deal with them. I would rather, reluctantly, switch from TKM/MRanger to TKM/? if I can.

Any help appreciated.

I use MTKA/MSwords/Doc 0001/FS melee/ranged defence and luck. I can drop Giants as long as I use the right foods and spice. Takes awhile using my knucklers but it is very doable.

Well, I recently ground out doctor and I'm now TKM/master swords/Doc 4000 and went krayt hunting with some friends ... who both died... leaving me toe to toe with canyon krayts and winning.
