I know that the original six (shiva, garuda, etc) could be solo'd back when the cap was still at 75. But what about fenrir & diabolos? Is there any way to get them without a full party?

Fenrir should be easy enough. Diabolos may still need to trio or duo to make it through.

I've personally soloed Fenrir at 90, Diabolos could possibly be soloable with very careful positioning

I appreciate the replies.

I guess my original post wasn't very well written. I should have specifically mentioned the mini-tuning fork quests (level 20 avatar battles for ifrit, etc).

I did the original six prime avatar fights back in 2004, I don't think fenrir even existed back then. I foolishly took the avatar as each of my rewards thinking that I was going to be SMN main job all those years ago.

Anyway, I suppose there are not "mini" versions of fenrir & diabolos?

There are no mini versions of Fenrir, Diabolos, Alexander or Odin.

And yea, people were soloing Fenrir at 75, shoulda mentioned that it was SMN90 I did it on. People were alos soloing Diabolos on PUP, but I think SE altered the fight since.

Gonna let my noob flag fly...

I've been away from the game since 2009. What are Alexander and Odin?

Two summons available through Astral Flow, Odin appears with a low accuracy but instant death conal move and Alexander is AoE Invincibility from what I heard. (I only have SMN 90 for laughs, really >.<)

To add a bit more information for Alexander and Odin, there's a quest and fight involved to obtain them. You MUST have Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion (storyline, not assault missions) completed before being able to do the quest.

You are playing on a multiplayer game. Surely you can grab a few friends to help you.

Of course.
I just enjoy the challenge of solo fights.
Like doing Maat on multiple jobs, for example.

I've soloed Diabolos on BLU at 90 cap, could probably do it now with Ramuh and stun?

Diabolos ignores pet hate.

Diabolos is NOT soloable by 95 summoner, he still hits hard and Nightmare will mess you up as he will totally ignore your avatar and keep coming at you.

I've soloed Fenrir on NIN/DNC during Darksday no less. The only eva gear I used was trial. He got through my shadows once or twice, but nothing too bad. As for Diabolos, My brother decidede to go as a glass cannon and destroy him on SAM/WAR in less than 15 seconds. We did theses at Lv.95 however. I know this doesn't help mush for an actual SMN, but I do hope it helps in some way.
