It's no longer a secret that Dark Miasma is one of the most powerful sets in the game. So, no one should be shocked that a Dark Defender can solo this mission with their eyes closed.

You can ask for help on this mission, you get several Heroes to come along (Daedelus, Sister Arlia, etc), but if you accept their help, you don't get the badge for the accolade (the only reason to do it without their help). In my experience, the helpers are usually dead before I get to the Minotaur/Cyclops groups due to the limitations of NPC AI, so they're not so great.

This mission is, IMO, very difficult if you are not level shifted. Not impossible, but very difficult. Took me nearly 2 hours to finish it on one of my Stalkers.

One other piece of advice. If you're taking the NPC helpers along because you need the support DO NOT go to -1. It doesn't actually lower the enemies' level, but it does reduce your helpers' level. All it does is render them more likely to die, even on the opening mobs of Talons.
