And then there's the waterspouts to worry about

My Thugs/poison also was getting destroyed by the fonts. It's an arc ender, so you can't drop it. I when and leveled up a few times, set everything to minimum difficulty and came back. It was still tough, but no longer suicidal.
At the time, I didn't understand just how Bodyguard works--only with Defensive/Follow. If you set them to attack, they offer no protection.

Most of the Veat arcs are hard, I used to have a friend come help or a 50 from a global channel come wipe it, but SSK kinda ruined that 
Psychic Guardian's Emergency Backup Account. (PG1 may have been expired at time of post
.) Uh... this isn't a VEAT arc, and I don't think many people would classify any of the VEAT arcs as hard.

Granted i've only gotten two of my VEATs to 50 so far, but i would agree with you on the difficulty of the VEAT arcs. Even calling them arcs seems a bit of an overstatement. Mini-arcs?|

Coincidentally, my Flying Crab 'O' Doom just got this mission from Mako last night, and i was considering running it later.

This is probably the most annoying mission in the game. Not sure there's much to do if you want to run solo other than outlevelling it.
Shivans. Nukes, if shivans are still not enough.
You can always try passing Break Frees to your heavy damage dealing pets. And take one yourself and get in there with every temp damage power you have yourself.

You can't drop:
-Timed missions
-Failable missions (except the "Stop 30 Fir Bolg from entering the Portal" one; you CAN drop that one, and it's an arc ender too)
-Missions that grant a badge
This is the final mission in the Patron arc. As such, it gives the Patron Badge. That is why it's undroppable.

When you get hit by a geyser, right-click the icon to bring up the power information. The numbers are just NUTS. It's something like:
100% chance of mag 6 knockback
75% chance mag 12 knockback
50% chance of mag 18 knockback
etc.
I don't recall the numbers, but I think it can exceed mag 60. If I'm remembering correctly from when I did that mission, you'd need 6 break frees to 'probably' resist the knockback.

Ah, that makes sense. I'd never dropped a arc ending mission, so I assumed that one could not when this mission reared it's ugly head. Good to know.

Except you get the patron badge from Mako after defeating Ace McKnight, which is about 6 or 7 missions before this one

Huh. Didn't realize that. Guess which is the only patron I've never had the inclination to run?|

In that case, I suspect that either this mission is flagged to be undroppable, or the OP was still under a timer from a previous mission drop. But I can assure you that the last mission of an arc is droppable, in general at least; I've done it myself more than a few times.
@Roderick
Certain key missions are flagged as undroppable, without obeying any specific patterns or rules.
I just soloed this mission with my Brute and the Water Spouts were indeed a royal PITA, but once you learn to dodge them it's just a matter of being able to defeat the AVs 
I soloed this on my Plant/Thorn, but MAN was it a PITA. The Fonts were maybe the easiest part of it, and a couple of those took me down. Dealing with the final room with all the spouts and Calystix (may have been a Font still standing in there too) was just plain nuts. Not sure what I would have done if I didn't have Seeds to use on Calystix' summons (which is a task to try to aim when you're getting flipped in the air every two seconds).
Suggestions:
Super Packs Done Right
Influence Sink: IO Level Mod/Recrafting
Random Merit Rolls: Scale cost by Toon Level
This mish is horrible. End of.
My advice? Don't do Mako's arcs. Ever. But, since thats not very helpful right now, I'd say bring a Brute and some decent Corrs. And don't run it any higher then +1 if you really, really have to up to. -1 would be favourable, since it plays like bloomin Murder.

The one I get from Mako. Can I solo it on my MM? I tried to take out one of those "font of power" things (there are 4 of them apparantly) and I got wiped! All my thugs plus all my Posse guys got b---h slapped! Then I still gotta beat Calystix AND Mako??? I'm guessing this is a team thing huh? I tried to drop the mish, but it won't let me which I think kinda bites! I'm doing it on a 40 MM Thugs/Traps. Any suggestions on how to solo it? Thanks.
