Whats The Hardest Things You Have Solo'd?

Here's meh whole list, in no particular order :P

Bloody Coffin (was level 52 at the time)
Aquarius - level 60
The Minotaur- more times than I can count
Eba - drag to entrance with Oil Spill then stick with fish
The Hume, the Mithra, the Galka, and the Elvaan Swift Belt NMs - stay away from the Taru
Ose
Narasimha
Lord of Onzozo
Sewer Syrup
Despot
Ancient Goobbue
The Black Halo NM in Ifrit's Cauldron
The Tachi: Kasha NM in Kuftal Tunnel
The Spiral Hell NM in Den of Rancor
Hakutaku - 4 hour fight. Never intend to repeat it.
Guivre
The Shadow Lord
All the Prime Avatars outside of Fenrir and Diabolos

And the one of which I'm most proud - Ga'bhu Unvanqished as a level 54 Bst to get meh own Valkyrie's Mask :D

Wow. Very impressive list, Reauland! I've not tried most of those!
Um.. This may take a bit to remember it's been so long so bare with me!!

All the ZM5 NM's
Tashi: Kasha NM
Spiral Hell NM
Man I should've looked things up to jog my memory before posting here.. haha!
Basically a lot of the WSNM's and final AF fights, including the 3 goblins, 3 sahagin, doll in Garliage, Hound in Eldieme, WHM af shadow in Fei-yin (most of these were back in the day, too!!!) (don't recall if I ended up soloing the MNK AF NM)
I wouldn't recommend it because it's a waste of seals but if you really wanna solo that much, I used to solo the KSNM pot in Fei-yin(don't recall the actual name of the place!) too.. burned a ton of seals on that, and it's quite fun!! Although, be warned, the magic (even water) tore Carrie apart!!!
Uuuuuum... Xolotl (only the guy himself.. friends held his pets at bay)
Had Cemetery cherry down to 10% before some bad luck and sleep finally got me killed, but a near win doesnt count does it? :p
Lamie(a?) no 7.. the one that spams hysteric barrage and whatnot.. anywhere from 2-8ish times?
What else.. Im sure there were more!!! I miss my BST!!
Oh I did solo aquarius of course but it was as a 75... Don't recall trying it before then, and not NEARLY as impressive as a BST in his or her low 60's doing it
Duo'd despot while a LS tried to steal.
Duo'd swift belt NM's (again not nearly as impressive as a solo, which I've never tried)
I planned to try to solo mamool ja's pikachu as a rdm/bst or something but never got to it... Did duo him as BST though, but again, just not the same as a solo!
(funny little fact: I tried to solo all of g1, but eventually I found that paper wouldn't drop in Western Altepa and I was too cheap/poor to load up on jugs and try and painstakingly solo the liches in Eldieme) (as far as the paper dropping in the desert goes, I was a noob and went by my own theories back then. I figured if magicked skull dropped in both the Dunes and Gusgen then why not this? haha)
(another funny fact: I tried to solo genkai 2... as a level 55... Ended with me warping out as my poor jug pet took a beatdown!)
I'm sure there was more though... Gonna bug me not remembering!!! >.<
I lived for soloing and low-manning things if you can't tell! One of the few things that gets me excited anymore!!

Ohhh I loved finding the camp in Bibiki Bay further in with the tougher catoblepas (T-VT) and the gobbies. Burned through a lot of food and tools and all out there but soloing those as bst/nin were how I got most of my first merits (which of course I put into bst and war related things mostly) 4-5k+/hr but requires a lot of attention because even with crow/raven's gear sometimes you have to bounce hate with the bunnies and know when and when not to tank)

Anyhow, VERY sorry for the long post!!! Swelling with pride and nostalgia atm!!!

Citipati like 20 times as bst 70-73 (stopped farming around that time since there were like 50 iolite on the AH)
Sargas or w/e the scorpions name is in attohwa chasm. longass fight.
Duo'd Morille Mortelle with Wickedsephiroth.
Aquarius 61 bst/nin
Rogue Receptacle
got killer jonny to like 80% solo? ;; i dont think its possible to solo him.
Yowie/Arachne/Amemet/Phantom Worm/Kettenkafer/Cancer/Bloodthirster solo (every NM in kuftal except for the cock NM and guivre)
thats all i can remember, im sure theres a little more..i want to try Pallas with as few bsts as possible (4-5 bsts?) but noone is ever up to pop it/try to kill with a few amount lol.
 
Nice lists, guys ^^

Don't wait for any more Bsts, Espio - with fully-merited Beast Affinity, you and, at most, a couple of jugs will pwn Pallas :P
 
Soloed Temenos - Eastern Tower, first floor, as 80 BST/SCH with a Familiar'd Crafty Clyvonne. Probably would've been faster with Nazuna since Blaster and Chaotic Eye were useless. Was a fun challenge. ^^

The hardest things I've soloed (all as SMN) are: the avatars (minus Fenrir, Diabolos, Alexander and Odin), the Black Dragon from 2-3 (in 2004), that damned Soulflayer for my BLU AF Hat, Jazaraat the Fomor from ToAU mission 13 and that ugly ranger Lamia 8 (what made me win is she went crazy and started a hand to hand fight with Carby @ <X----------> )
 
Tried out the final ASA fight for fun. Got D. Shan down to 45% before getting killed during rage mode. With familiar'd NurseryNazuna, reward healed for approximately 650 HP and the sheep regained like 3% of her health. Would that mean near 20k HP in total? I wonder how well a BST trio would fare here.
