Solo 4-Part UW Build

Actually I prefer to do just the Chaos Plains cause Mindblade Spectres have the best ecto drop rates.

And farming monsters have nothing to do with quests that lead to the final chest. If you want to do quests get a decent team.

Chaos planes alone nets 2-6 ectos (from my experience). From the whole run you would get more than 10, read the whole topic, people posted their results.
I do the same, i bring 2 mindburn heros + 1 restoratioon necro for the darknesses.

cupcake for run

instead of [flame djinn's haste][glyph of concentration][bed of coal][meteor shower]

I bring

[lava font][phoenix][ebon vanguard assassin][aura of restoration]

3x [lava font] = dead minblades and they won't run.
i throw in phoenix if i wanna see lots of pretty numbers.
[ebon vanguard assassin] to trigger traps if they in a spot where i can't avoid them.

I don't know if theres a bug, but sometimes i will still take damage even under [obsidian flesh] + [stoneflesh aura] anyone else experience this?? so i bring [aura of restoration] for that.

When you wear a weapon like a sword or axe, the obsidian behemoths won't attack you. When you wear a staff, they will attack you They attack you either way. I know that from experience. It doesn't matter if you have a sword/shield combo or staf, the behemoths will try to kill you eventually.

If you're going to contradict a fairly well known fact because you "know from experience" you should probably note that you're doing something wrong.
If you're wielding a melee weapon, the only reason they'd attack you is for either casting a spell/skill while within their aggro, attacking them, or hanging right outside their aggro bubble while still within their auto attack range. Unless you do one of those three things, running through twin serpent Moutains should prove no obstacle.

What he said was infact true, it makes no difference what you have equiped, if you are within their aggro range they will attack you, though if you are just running through they usually start setting traps first and won't hit you for a few seconds. Personally I think they may be bugged, if you go run into range of one, you can see the attack animation start immediately. There are plenty of places to stop in the mountains where the attacks will be obstructed anyway though.

I haven't tried running through the behemoths for a while, mainly cause I lag once or twice in the first 5 min in uw and die.

I never said it was a problem, it's just that they will attack you, especially with this build, since you need to recast FDH to get through the mountains fast enough. But there will be times where you will be hit for damage.
