I've ome upto the Urd part of Masamune, and I was just wondering, If I can't find a party are these solo/duoable with a whm girlfriend? I've been told I could straight tank it sam/nin vs Urd, but I was more concerned with Lamprey and Chesma, how bad are these guys/the Tier 1 to unlock these things?

Should be able to do Urd like that, Chesma too, but idk about Lamprey Lord...he's an annoying thing ><

And t1 are very easy to solo.

Urd can be tricky with chainspell, with three+ melee it goes down before it can kill you. Chesma is very easy to duo. LL... gl with that one.

Urd does not chainspell Skuld does.

BST solo's urd easily, so pay a bst and your good. For lamprey lord, we had SAM MNK WHM, our strategy was "See that leech? *** his world up." and it worked very well. We were going to pin kill chesma using smn to kite it to pin spot, but the smn killed it before we got there, so that is way easier then lamprey.

Can ApRadar properly discern which VNM is which amongst the numerous ones that share maps?

Urd, Skuld, Lamprey Lord were all duoable SAM+RDM at 75. I did this dozens of times. If you have any trouble at 90, you're doing something terribly wrong. Apradar can filter by name, so yes, you can pop the one you want.

gimp 75 mule can solo with pinning, idk if it'd be reliable to duo given drk's lack of evasion

when i did it at 75 i had to use an eva set on sam for lamprey lord, though skuld/urd are braindead: used normal tp gear and could even hasso while /nin without running into timer issues
