fellow imps, I have completed one of the most stressful gaming accomplishments of my life: clearing floors 1-200 of Palace of the Dead solo in Final Fantasy XIV.
POTD is a side-content area inspired by roguelites; you clear sets of 10 floors at a time (9 normal floors and a boss floor at the end), with the floors being generally randomized in terms of layout, enemy placement, and treasure chests. the chests can give you special items that are only functional within POTD, like make you tankier or do more damage for 8 minutes, or reveal the map of a floor including invisible traps, or turn you into a manticore that can oneshot any non-boss mob. There are traps freaking everywhere, and later on even individual monsters hit super hard. Not only that, but especially as you go into the deep floors the floors themselves will sometimes give you really hosed up debuffs and your items that can deal with them are extremely limited. you get an hour per set of 10 floors and in the last fifty floors or so that hour starts to feel real tight.
and there's permadeath of course. if you fail the run is over and you have to start back at floor 1. This content was primarily designed for groups of four though. Generally you'd have at least one other party member who can rez people, and as long as your entire party doesn't wipe you can recover. solo you don't have that luxury though, except for very limited items that can rez you, leaving you weakened and wasting any buffs you had at the time (often even if you use one of these you end up screwed over by wasting your other items and wasting time)
You get a fancy title for clearing 1-200 solo, so your character can be called The Necromancer.
you can sit on a bench at floor 200 after beating it
e: idk why my screenshot is so boblike, my monitor isn't ultrawide or anything lol
congrats 
gotta try the deep dungeons myself one of these days. i've only done a bit of POTD.

I like that FFXIV just has a giant Tactics Ogre reference in it as a challenge dungeon and it may or may not be canon that it’s literally the same Nybeth

I once ran some FFXIV content for like an hour and a half with some randoms, and two of the players in our group were apparently a girl and her grandma. The grandma spent the whole time complaining about how her feet hurt really bad and she needed to get in the "hot tube" so we should finish up soon
not a brainworms thing but it still makes me lol

I enjoyed ESO for a while because the players are all Elder Scrolls fans, meaning they don't talk to each other. The two times I interacted with another player was one messaging me to tell me my hat was stupid and I replied that it was and he said respect, and the time someone messaged me angrily to tell me that Aftertug Sobbins sounds like it's meant to be a lore accurate Dunmer name but isn't actually

I told him that my mod Muffinwind had a Sobbins Ancestral Tomb in it and that according to c0da all mods are lore accurate. He said he was going to go and check but I never heard back from him, which is for the best because while I did make Muffinwind I completely lied about the tomb

even FFXIV players think potd is braindead content and won't touch it. Last time the Imp static broke up was when I asked for people to finally show me how to unlock the Heaven on High deep dungeon since I've never seen it in 6 years of gaming on xiv or w/e. Kongming Pmack and uhhh I forget the third. Either bug deal or neurotic roleplay or somebody marathoned 50 floors with me to unlock HoH and then everyone except Pmack cancelled their sub within a week.

I think the deep dungeons are particularly hated by the "never use a consumable" crowd because they'll go through the whole thing never popping the items that let you blow poo poo up real fast and make it more fun and then say it's boring and slow

Probably about 10 hours over like 5 sessions, you can stop freely between sets of floors. doing it solo does honestly make the early parts pretty painful because it takes so long to get to the actual difficult stuff.
I think it took me like 100 total hours over the course of a few years trying every now and then, failing, and then crying and drinking a bunch
