I need tidal cores for my BFA crafting. I was able to solo Mythic the Motherlode just fine. Are there any BFA M0’s that are not soloable due to mechanics or excessive dmg?
The tomb of the kings one is not soloable, you get locked in tombs that require team mates to get you out

I dont think there is 1 that’s unsoloable. They were pretty soloable back in BFA so guessing you can do them all w/ little to no effort
oh for got about kings rest.
Any boss that has a mind control mechanic is unsoloable. Keep that in mind.
I don’t think it does that to the tank, so anyone who has threat. I could be wrong though. Also, the first boss self heals a lot.
I have 0 experience trying to solo BfA stuff so I don’t know if our current Burst DPS or Survivability nullifies all of these or not, but here’s some bosses to ask about:
Kings’ Rest:
- Golden Serpent
- Slimes reaching the boss shields it hugely. Can we burst before then? Or 1 shot slimes from a distance or anything?
- Embalmer
- Boss entombs players. Does he do it while solo? Can he be bursted before then? Would the fight end if entombed while solo?
Mechagon:
- Aerial Oppression Unit
- Battery phases are timed. can 1 player do the channeling mechanic fast enough or is that specifically tuned to need more than 1 player doing it?
Shrine of the Storm:
- Lord Stormsong
- MC mechanic. Does he do it while solo? Does the fight end if MC’d while solo? Can he be bursted before it goes out?
Temple of Sethraliss:
- Merektha
- Snake Knot. Does it happen solo? Does it end the fight? I THINK it’s just a stun so it shouldn’t end, but not sure. Boss has immune phases at percentages so I doubt we can burst outright, but can we push phases before Knots come? If Knots come, are you perma-knotted or are there gaps between the duration ending and another cast?
Tol Dagor:
- Jes Howlis
- Boss jumps on a player and smacks them for a very long time or until interrupted. Can he be bursted before then? Does it hurt enough to kill the player if not interrupted? I feel like we can kill him before then but like I said, no idea.
Waycrest Manor:
- Heartsbane Triad
- Another MC Mechanic. Can the MC Witch be bursted before MC? Does it even happen solo? Does it end the fight if so?
They actually fixed that one! He doesn’t do that trick anymore
I recall being able to solo this one.
And this one.
But the rest either look legit or I can’t speak on them. However, I haven’t attempted to solo them since SL came out, so they could be brute-forced.
The troll boss with the totems is probably not soloable even on Heroic because all 3 totems have to die in quick succession. 
If I can clear some of the dungeons, I’ll have enough tidal cores in a few weeks, I think.
I feel like any class with any kind of bleed or mobility can probably carefully get them down very low then start popping bleeds/DoTs and sprinting/leaping/charging/etc betwen them.
I can’t think of a single one that isn’t soloable.
9.2 will make soloing even easier

They are soloable now. Doing king’s rest for the mount weekly.
timer is kinda lenient on it so I see it’s pretty doable unless you’re trying to do hard mode
with 9.2 gear I’d say you can easily burst this down
This is the question mark. I can’t remember how long before he entomb a player
go tank spec and he will not mc you
good point
the boss will eventually stop. You should have enough health and armor to live thru it
same as above. I believe they dont mc tanks
Don’t think you can kill him, but let him do the mc, it’ll reset him and he’ll despawn. You can just jump in the water and swim to the last boss. (At least this worked at the end of BFA)
Is that new? He did in BFA if you were solo
i could be very wrong. But I remember having a few fights in m+ that the whole team died and I never got mced and the fight lasted longer than 1min. (maybe I’m remembering it wrong)
wont the water still be electrified?
I skipped BFA entirely, so when I came back in 9.0 I tried to go back and solo the BFA M0s in middling M+ SL S1 gear. Most stuff was fine, but like 3 of the first 5 dungeons had me really digging in comments on Wowhead trying to figure out a way to get around some annoying mechanic. I got so sick of trying to work out exploit strats that I decided to try again next expansion lol
BFA mythic is loaded with weird random group mechanics 
I’ve had no problem doing it on my hunter. Takes a while longer but it can be done.
Have had no issues with:
Mechagon
Motherlode
Tol Dagor. ( For Jes, just killed the brother first on the one time I tried it. )
At 230-240 you’re almost immune.
Yeah but it never hurt enough to kill me the few times I did it. (Dunno if that holds true in SL gear though)
