Is it possible to unlock The War Within via solo play?

[0verkill]

I understand that one of the things you have to do to unlock The War Within is to obtain 3 Lua Challenge Room mods. I think I found a challenge room in a Lua mission (involving pressure plates and pipes), but it looks like you need more than one player to complete it - is this the case for all the Lua Challenge Rooms? If so, then I assume it must be impossible to unlock the War Within solo.

It is possible to unlock it through solo play.

 

There is only one challenge room that cannot (easily) be done on solo play. It is the Coaction Drift one. You need more than one person to jump on buttons. The others you should be fine on. Or you could just ask some random to go with you.

that co-op room is the only one that needs more than 1 player (you can also use specters in the last part of it...i think, will have to double check..not sure if they "fixed" the ability to have multiple different specters put at once)

There are only 1 (maybe 2?) that require a squad. All the other rooms are doable solo.

I managed that requirement solo myself, so you'll be able to unlock TWW on your own.

It sounds like that you can even buy those mods because it says "collect" so I'd assume it doesn't matter how.

Even if not, cunning, endurance, stealth, and power are just super easy to do solo. I never personally bothered with others myself and done collab only a couple of times + no real reason trying to do agility or speed.

OK thanks for the answers.

The one I had did have a pressure plate (which looks like it activated 2 disc platforms and another plate on a pedestal with a pipe above it - there were lots of similar pipes around only sealed) - parked a roller spectre on the plate, but that didn't keep the other plates activated. Will try to find some more of these rooms (and also look for some walkthrough videos).

The co-action drift and the endurance drift rooms need more than 1 person.  Everything else can be done solo

You don't need anyone else for endurance.

I just kept rerunning Lua to get 5 agility and speed drifts, those are easiest. You dont need to beat all of them, you just need to do any 5 times.

Got power and endurance in the end. Found endurance is soloable if you bring a stack of health restores - probably wouldn't have needed them if it didn't lock your powers (was planning on cheesing Defy with Wukong).

However not sure if I want to start War Within right now though. While avoiding spoilers, I understand that it locks you out of normal gameplay until the whole questline is complete (too much other stuff to do in the game atm).
