Giving the boss 5 vuln stacks for a total of 50% vuln debuff with the Succubus (lust pommander) as mentioned in the post above works fine if you want to speed things up but it’s really not needed. Started a fresh character a few weeks ago and soloing the low levels of PotD has never been easier due to how fast you now gain aetherpool.

Also: appropriate HQ food can give you an extra 10% vitality.

Maygi’s guide and the Deep Dungeon Compendium are very handy to anyone wanting to solo a DD but if all that’s wanted is to reach lvl 50, the first 5 bosses of PotD are very straightforward: kill adds if any, avoid aoe, avoid being hit when you can. If you get Gelmorran Potsherds you can buy sustaining potions if you want more healing (not needed on low levels, just extra safety).
Yes, AoEs are bad and potions were already covered. Not sure why food would matter if you didn't even need pomanders though. Would also be worth mentioning if you were a tank, because presumably people would charge in there with SMN or MCH, ignore the adds and die, or just get auto'd to death during the stun because they didn't heal. They're probably more likely to have the pomanders than the food too.

It's not that complex, just the one single wall in 1-50 that could take someone by surprise.
