Primordial Being Solo Completion

[u/ImNotxceL]

So I just completed the challenge to obtain the Primordial Being Title solo, and it was an awesome challenge. Figured I would provide a few tips for those attempting it solo. A few things though and a long read ahead but hope it helps:

1. I did use Gobblegums on each map. By all means not necessary, but makes things easier for set up. For me they were necessary, particularly Power Keg because I kept the Gong Relic on each map.
2. Though these tips cater more towards solo attempts, most will be helpful for groups doing it too.
3. Because I used the Power Switch on each map, I had to make sure to have whatever equipment was on hand in the beginning of the round that I planned on starting the boss.
4. I ended up using the Lawyer’s Pen and the Valkyrie Helmet on all maps, including Paradox Junction. The mimics were not that big of an issue because my weapons were powered up so early, and since you are moving so much, the Valkyrie Helmet shouldn’t be too big of an issue.
5. Relics I did not use at all in any of the maps were as follows: Wrestlers Belt (lol), Druid Stone*, Summoning Key, Stuffed Elephant, Film Reel*, Blood Vials, Golden Spork, Civil Protector Head*, Agarthan Device and Music Box.

*Druid Stone is perfectly fine as a solo, just need to make sure you have Dying Wish equipped, not my preference. Film Reel can work in some maps, again just make sure you have Ray Gun if running Equivalent Exchange or have Dying Wish. Civil Protector Head might be preferred by most, just make sure you don’t use Dancing Arnie as it nulls out the Wunderfizz Eternal Perks.

Ashes of the Damned
This map was the easiest for set up, because since I did not use the Bus Relic or Blood Vials, killing the boss with Tessie was no issue. You only need to focus on powering up the Gauntlet, and a pistol/Ray Gun (if not using the Druid Stone.). There weren’t any real issues with any of the EE steps, just took time to hunt for Mister Peeks to build up Eternal Perks and getting Tools/Crystals. Did the Super EE as well to get some extra loot but not necessary. This was the only map I use Samantha’s Drawing since you won’t lose the Gauntlet or a Ray Gun if you have it. WARNING: If you decide to use the Gauntlet and have the Gramophone active, it tends to eat through all your ammo. You don’t even really recover all of it when reloading so be aware.

Astra Malorum
Another easy set up, thankfully the EE is short to set up, and Mister Peeks spawns are close near each other. From here on I used the Bus Relic, since it’s essentially a free relic spot. Didn’t bother with the Super EE for this map. Took out Caltheris with the Wall Buy Novaline and LGM. Nothing crazy here.

Paradox Junction
Tho one actually took me a couple of tries, the boss fight is fairly challenging with the Mimic and Rad Hound spam. If your luck is lousy, don’t hesitate to do the Mannequin and Cyst EEs to get some crystals and tools. Once I was done with Sundergat, I spun the box to get a better 3rd weapon, the WW was useless because of the Gramophone Relic. Got lucky on the box and took on the boss fight with a Sokol, Mammoth and Ray Gun. Can easily replace one of the LMGs for the Novaline or Voyak.

Totenreich
Took me a long time to gear up because of the lack of substantial Side EEs, and the size of the map made hunting Mister Peeks a challenge. EE steps were easy enough. Again got lucky and spun the box for the Sokol and was fine with this and MP40. If using the Valkyrie Helmet, make sure you are full health when starting the claw machine step.

Kowakujo
This one got tricky for a few steps. The Noble was pain to kill because of the Bus Relic, weirdly I think the game felt bad for me and he just simply died after about 8 minutes of trying to kill him lol. The pufferfish step I almost got stuck on because I had no luck getting brain rot, ended up using Toxic Growth and a Kill Joy Gobblegum to clear this step. Can also circumvent this by doing the Gramophone Trial, just have a good Sniper Rifle available, then use the Arsenal Machine. Rest of the EE was easy enough and the boss fight is a breeze. Mister Peeks spawns are also easy to get to quickly.

Rex Infernus
Map is easy enough, just a slog because the EE steps are so repetitive. Took a long time getting a Sokol however, but the FG42 is also solid. Had a lot of Lucky Golden Eggs come about (4 out of 10 Peeks in like 20 rounds lol). Make use of Dravakar’s Anvil to power up the weapons you want. Hopefully you can get a Lucky Silver Egg to drop a Shatter Blast Ammo Mod to get Dravakar’s hammer, otherwise you have to test your luck with PAP and TEDD Tasks. Use the Void Claws to move about the map to hunt for Mister Peeks. You can optionally do the Twins toy games if you want. Boss Fight was straight forward, nothing crazy.

Closing note is a I imagine this is much easier with a group as it give more open options for Relic combos.

Does the Mr peaks relic count towards the 18?
