I don;t where you guys play, but I can;t find anyone willing to help me. 5 tries with people going in and then ditching me before doing crystals. Frustrating seeing that the game can be solo'd to this point.
My husband and I just finished fighting Malistaire this morning. I was a LVL 49 Pyromancer (Fire) and he is a GrandMaster Death. We did it with just the two of us - so it is definitely do-able.
The way we did it can't be a 'cheat' because it tells you when you enter this Dungeon that your time will be shorter if you ask friends to help you - and that it will take a minimum of 3 hrs to do alone. Compare it to Colossus Blvd's BRISKBREEZE TOWER Dungeon warning that reads like this:
When you get inside Briskbreeze tower, Darren Whisperwind says this: "These bosses in here will cheat. They can do things wizards cannot, for they are far more powerful than anything else. You will need four (4) people to complete this at the appropriate level."
NO WHERE upon entering Malistaire's dungeon does it tell you that you MUST have 3 people to place crystals simultaneously, as is required to open the door to fight the draconians before the room to Malistaire.
So having only two of us and three crystal stands, one of us 'marked' one of the crystal stands. Then, after defeating the 2nd set of either Fire/Ice Bosses, we stood at the unmarked crystal stands. We counted down, put the crystals in, and the one w/ the mark ported and placed the crystal in the last stand.
THE MALISTAIRE'S DUNGEON CAN BE DONE WITH ONLY TWO PEOPLE. Furthermore, I do NOT believe it's a cheat to do this, considering we are NOT warned at the beginning that we will NEED more than one person, only ENCOURAGED to have friends to shorten the time needed to complete dungeon.
If anything comes of this, Kings Isle can be fair enough to warn "lone wizards" of what they are facing, as they warn at Briskbreeze Tower. Enough said. :)
If you're life and worth your salt, it doesn't take MUCH more to defeat him. You and a grandmaster storm that isn't completely brain-dead could do up to and defeat Malistaire if you decided to (and maybe ask a friend to port in for 30 seconds to activate the third crystal necessary to open the door). You could do it with a death GM too, although that would take much longer, as Malistaire and all his bodyguards in the last room resist death.
If all you really want to do is Malistaire at the exclusion of all else, hang out in the Roost right in front of the zone-in for his lair. If after a couple minutes you can't find enough people to run with you, change realms and see if the new realm has people waiting to find others to do him. Unless you try at odd hours of the day, you shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes to get a group good enough to run the instance.
You don't REALLY need a third person to activate the third crystal. See, what I do is mark my location at one crystal, go to the next, and have a friend at the third. I tell him to activate, I activate also, and I teleport back to my marked location and push the third . I beaten Malistaire plenty of times with only 2 people.
P.S. Has anyone EVER soloed Malistaire? I don't know anyone after getting addicted to this game who has done it.
i have soloed malistaire before. its pretty easy. devin goldenheart lvl50 balance
So I've reached the point that I'm going after Malistaire. I know that it's going to take much more than me to defeat him. Heck at this point, I've not been able to get to him. I'm still exploring his lair and getting defeated by his henchmen.
What is the best way to gather enough people to help me defeat him? Or to find people who are in the same position as I? Is there a better place to post to find people to meet up with?
I am reading all the posts that I can find on the boards.

Actually all you have to do is use a bait at some of the minions. You only have to do 6 battles if you are alone.(Inclucing Malistare) If you have multiple people you can split up.

I'm trying to figure out how you were able to activate all three of the crystals to get to Malistaire? Fighting him may be another story, but just getting to him seems to require help.
By the way, thanks for the tip about the crystals. I was just in that area, and was getting frustrated trying to get beyond that area.

Sure his bodyguards are death. But i'm a grand master death and i've beaten Malistare about five times easily.
You need about four people because you will need some people to stay behind to unlock doors by staying my a crystal and pressing "x". So three people will be defeating the monstaers in the dungeon. It is really easy! Malistare will not, i am telling you, he will NOT USE SCARECROW. The minions i think used it once in my first time killing him. You can pass fights easisly. Some you can just go in then flee then port to your friends. The best part probably about the dungeon is you can port to people inside it. The fights are propbably the hardest when you are fighting your own school monster. But other than that the dungeon is easy.

Hey do you need help. Jared Battletheif lvl50 pyromancer
I will gladly help out fighting Malistaire. I am a level 50 death student and need to defeat him as well! Just let me know when and where to meet.
I have been trying to get through the Malistaire's Lair now for about a week by myself. I have made it to the elevator twice but couldn't go inside to get to Malistaire. I would really like it if someone would help me beat him or at least help me get inside to fight him. I have a lvl 50 and a lvl 13 Balance Wizard. My other spells are life so I can heal whoever wants to try and fight him with me, let me know when and where to meet you and we can get together to fight him.
