Soloing Horntail as a Paladin?
What are the minimum Requirements to try and solo this beast?
I want to know what range do i need to have to even get a chance at it.
Also does the medal of the Badge of the squad member allows me to skip the dreaded "Hunting of the Manon Cry" for the dragon potion or i still need it to enter?

You need the badge to solo.
You can't do the PQ alone.
So you need the badge to skip it and whatnot.

Misread, no you still needa do the quest for the cornian transformation potion.
I solo'd HT last year when I was level 170 and my range was 50k.
It took me like... 40 minutes or so back then.
I'd recommend getting atleast a 40k+ range before attempting to solo.
Tips:
What Seduces: HT's Pre-heads and arms seduce.
What Weapon Cancels: All of the heads, and the body use weapon cancel.
When heads get to 1/2 health they summon black wyverns; these dispel you.
Also, while doing the pre-heads I recommend standing behind the heads, near the portal.
This speeds up your run significantly, because standing infront of the pre-heads slows your attack speed down.
Once you're done with the pre-heads and you're at the body, eliminate the legs and the tail first.
This will save you from taking a bunch of damage when you're seduced.
After the legs and tail are done, move on to the wings, right arm, and right head.
After those are done, I normally finish off the center head, then the left head.
[quote=Erudite]there was a thread like this a couple of months or weeks ago i can't remember. i think as a paladin you'll need a range of 35k + to solo ht.[/quote]
With or without Boss Damage?
