Olmec's Sanctum...Really??

Is it even possible for a melee class to solo this??

I went in with 79% all resistances and poped the appropriate flasks for each totem boss i tried to take down. I managed to get the lightning totem but died 4 times wearing him down. Chaos totem insta killed me - that was my fault for low chaos resist but i didnt know what to expect.
I assumed there would be a fire boss so i tried that totem - insta killed when i got close to him.


I just dont see how any melee class does this alone??? I have really good gear, high Life leech, and 89% resistances when i fight these elemental totems and i stood 0 chance...

Can melee builds do this alone or is this another version of GGG's "you die now" mentality towards everything except the most specific builds?

Soloed on my duelist once, once dc wheplaying so map got wasted

It's a hard map, but if you get a overkill melee character you can do it

id like to see a video.

Ill give my to anyone who posts a video of a melee char soloing this map successfully.

Does CoC cyclone EK count as melee? because i facerolled it... wish i recorded it for that sweet soul taker..

Just search youtube Olmec sanctum solo first result http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AQTKOyH8dY

Done this map twice in the weekend, guildmate's maps.

Went in with full party both times.

1st map 4 ripped, 1 dced or left, this was at fire boss just before the final.

I, being the CI aegis tank, had no problem until the fireboss, where the fire RF aura got me jump out at first, as i knew my weakspot is the dot.

Then the fire totem start shooting fire at me, which regens my ES on block, so I jump back in, facetanked the boss, and occasionally jumped out if my ES got to 50% and let the fire incinerate regen my ES almost instantly again before jumping in.

My team/guildmates weren't impressed that they ripped so easily lol.

Final boss, easier than the fireboss, just facetanked the wholeway.


2nd map, full team, lots more fire power, no one died as we killed the bosses super quick. Only thing was I had to jump out of the RF aura from the fire boss a lot more because the incinerate was targeting different players so I couldn't get ES regen on block reliabily enough.


Both times I saw teammates ducking for cover from the minimap lmao.

Hmmm, I've been hearing that totem is hard, so I've finally decided to run that Olmec for the first time.

Got 2x74 and a Crematorium from it.

Solo'd on my aegis/bor mara tank, 4% chaos res, max resists for the 3 elements. Took with me all 4 elemental potions and switched accordingly, for the final fight, try to get rid of the chaos totem first and stay on the fringes of the area.

IMO the risk goes like this:
1) chaos totem
2) fire totem
3) lightning totem
4) final boss
10) ice totem, this one does... nothing at all.

I doubt I could finish the map with my blender though.
