The Ler Rhan side of this quest likely cannot be completed alone.''' If soloing, you will likely need a [[Resister's Crystal]] to complete the Isin Dule side. The final dungeon for this quest is very buggy, which contributes to the difficulty. For the Isin Dule side, the soldiers should attack the shadows and not you. For the Ler Rhan side, the shadows should attack the soldiers and not you. However, most of the time, both will attack and ignore you randomly.

	~~Siding with~~ Ler Rhan ~~basically requires a group as it is virtually impossible to keep the Bael'Zharon summoners alive solo when~~ the shadows ~~are attacking you instead of helping to kill~~ the soldiers. ~~Siding with Isin Dule is slightly easier~~, ~~but likely requires a group or a Magic Defense rare due to~~ the ~~number of shadows~~ and ~~void lords in the final room of he dungeon~~.
