Which are Solable Raids and what is needed?

Dear all, I would like to compile a list of solable raids and what is needed for each.
Example:
Vision of Destruction is solable, doesn't need something special.
Chronoscope is solable, doesn't need something special.
Tempest Spine is Solable, needs some ability scores I think.
Etc...
Thank you for your contributions ☺️.
By the way for the raids that have more than one version, please note if the need something different.
My intention is to keep track of everything at a Google sheets file and share it here so all can use for their reference.
Cheers

Technically all but VoN are soloable...

Although Titan, and TotDW need pet classes, and I'm not sure if holy aura stops the Relentless/Strahd grip effect.

Symbiont, Salzaar, Albar, Voodu & more have multiple solo raid completions on youtube, some with comentary around solo-able & tricks used to make mechanics function.

You can also check the wiki, which is fairly good at explaining the mechanics of each raid.

I have managed to solo:
Tempest spine (both heroic, legendary)
Chronoscope (heroic, never tried legendary)
Visions of Destruction (heroic)
Xorian hount (heroic - that was a tough one)
Heroic giant hold one (I solo that on r1 ☺️ very proud about it
Pre- of Titan with pet and dd I think (it's been a while)
I think a long time ago(some years) I did the demon queen heroic.

I think these are my raid achievements, I have played a few more with parties. But few of them.

Yes, all raids except for the Vault of Night can be soloed, but some are very difficult to do. This topic comes up every once in a while, so here are some links to older threads discussing this.

A list by me that includes a brief note on what is needed

An older post that includes videos and links to confirm solo completions of each raid

Again, some of them are VERY difficult to do and may require very specific builds, but it is possible. Vault of Night needs at least 2 people for the north split, and while some need a second body (aka: a pet) to stay in a spot while you do something else, that is the only one that actually needs a second actual character to complete.

Those older thread also discuss some strategies and tricks in more detail (though one of them also features arguing with people who seems determined to argue). Easier to link than to assume what you do and do not know and trying to retype it all again here.

Well check it out.
Technically doable with specific build is fine as long as the requirements are clearly stated ☺️.

I ran some of these about a year ago when I was trying to get to 7500 favor. My toon was a first life 18/2 bard rogue.

Here's what I can remember:

Vision of Destruction and chronoscope are both easily solo-able. I think Tempest's Spine is too but if you want to do it fast, you'll want a good strength score to open a lever. There might also be a locked door that needs to be picked(??)

Caught in the Web is solo-able, but it can be tough if you're a class dependent on spell point usage because of her SP drain attack - might need sp pots in here.

Zawabi's revenge - very easy to solo if you have some form of ranged attack. I run this one a lot for the raid tokens and some of the gear is interesting.

Reaver's fate - pretty easy to solo if I remember correctly. I failed the first few times just because I simply didn't know how to do it

Tower of Despair - easy, but you need something to avoid getting banished. I did this one when my toon was near level cap (30ish) and didn't have boots of anchoring and I think my saves were good enough to not get banished. I don't think I even bothered to equip my pale lavender ioun stone. Flagging is rough since some of these quests are kind of tricky and rarely run by anybody anymore.

Fall of Truth - simple raid but since it's a little bit higher level you'll need to be somewhat durable with solid DPS. I was able to run on hard with my first life character, but couldn't handle elite. I'm sure a better build could do elite or even R1.

Lord of Blades - heroic is pretty easy. I wasn't able to complete the legendary version.

Master artificer is probably soloable without too much trouble, but you do need to kill things close to the same time, which is a little tricky when solo

I ended up duo'ing the shroud. It's solo-able but a huge pain and I'd try to avoid needing to do it alone.

There's probably more, but these are the ones I personally ran solo. I was lucky to get a group for a lot of the other raids I had to complete.
