Having studied the weakness patterns of the Spiders under Carthriss, I re-spec'ed my skills accordingly and attempted this Raid again, at the level-up point from 41 to 42.
The time limit for Platinum gear is 2 hours. Thus, to achieve this, I:
1. Moved points away from Summoning, to place into Weaken, Walking Bomb and Haste
2. Solo'ed the first 2 battles of each 5-battle wave, and took just 1 NPC along for the remaining 3 battles, to speed up the conclusion of each fight. (More NPCs'= more certain to win, but takes much longer to win)
3. Re-spec'ed points from Defense and Agility into Stamina
This requires flawless tactical play, but it paid off.
And here I demonstrate the results! The video starts with a typical 5-battle run, then my fight with Carthriss.
I finish in just under 2 hours, the very first (and lowest-level) player of this Style to do so - and obtain the Legendary Envenomed Armor!
(note: Crown players use a variant of this, where their Crown gear allows them to dodge almost every attack and they can go all-out Weaken and Walking Bomb. However, a Poor and Lonely player doesn't have that advantage, hence this setup.)
Can I add you ?
