My illusion/FF controller soloed it fine, but she's built for hunting badges such as "Knows No Fear" and "Lone Wolf". Haven't tried it yet on my other alts.
A GREAT trick I found..
Running it on some of my older alts, these toons still had the Nectar temp, from V day events. This is a Mag 4 aoe confuse, lasting a minute. Use that especially on the Beast mobs (since they take so long to kill) and you can cut down a lot of time and grief.

Or was that only for that one year
Im not sure. I assume it was given out this year too. The toons I was using, were old ones who got it years back, and just never used it. Really made the mission easier. lol
I solo'd it on my WP/SS Tanker who was +0 at the time. It took *forever* but the only danger was me falling asleep at the keyboard (I nodded off two or three times for a few minutes as I recall).
I went in with NPCs on my +2 Elec/NRG Blaster. The NPCs all died at the first group of monsters just over the bridge. I finished the mission largely by blasting from up on mountain perches starting from full Boost Range distance. I died 2 or 3 times and emptied my Insp tray (or nearly so). And after that experience I decided to auto-complete various missions in the DA arcs with this character, including the final battle.
The mission could be fun with a real team, but I have yet to find it enjoyable solo. Too many overly-durable enemies that potentially do too much damage.
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be
-- The Fox and the Hound
Twice.
I came. I saw. I conquered.
The trick to those monsters are to burn one down til he pops his unstoppable then switch and repeat. They take a long time to kill regardless of what you are playing though.

EDIT: To clarify, I didn't pull the entire groups all at once; only two to three at most, and even then not on purpose. I would snipe individually, but occasionally pull multiples, but it actually worked in my favor with my Corruptor for the reasons above, ie, AoEs. Normally, my Scrapper is much more effective against groups than my Troller, but in this case- particularly with the Cyclops'- it wasn't the case.
Soloed it with a 50+3 Rad/Rad/Mace corruptor playing at +0/*1/Bosses on
Between the level shifts, scorpion shield, /rad debuffs, hover, judgment, patron and lore pets and rad/ AoEs it felt unfair. Which was totally appropriate for an incarnate villain. Oh yes.
I do not suffer from altitis, I enjoy every character of it.
Dark/Fire Tank
Claws/Dark Brute
MFing Warshade
All at +3 to keep them even cons.
Where to now?

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
I think I did it at +?/x6, solo'd on my SS/FA brute. I don't recall it being troublesome but it's a heavily min/maxed character.
Aww that is SO cute Dechs. You had to run on +3? Even with those uber darks of yours? And a MFing ws, also at even? Sounds More Fing and less MFing to me.
I soloed it with my MA/Inv Scrapper. I should probably do it with my Stone/Strength Tanker, too.
My Stories
Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.
Did it first on my main, who's Elec/Energy/Elec Blaster. She's the only one I even partially care about badges on, plus she'd have refused the help anyway.
Honestly, I really like this mission. It's one of the few missions where you actually feel like a demigoddess or demigod when you're done.
Yeah I had to solo it for the badge, not sure why you didn't get the badge.

I've soloed this arc with all but one of my 50+3s, including an empath defender, which took a while. The extra levels really help.
