So I'm working on G9, and I'm soloing Battle for Taillteann I for Basic, and I'm cruising along beating up monsters and stuff, and I'm on my sixth 'stronghold' when I suddenly get an unexplained Mission Failed. I had plenty of time before the SM time ran out, so, confused, I exited and tried again.
Again, I'm approaching the sixth group of monsters with 27 minutes left when I get an unexplained Mission Failed.
I dunno what I'm doing wrong; the only thing I can think of is that I'm not defeating the strongholds 'simultaneously' enough, like it says in the little Help pop-up? I checked the wiki, but it doesn't say anything about having to defeat the strongholds within a certain time restraint in relation to when they spawn...
Any helps would be lovely, thanks. x.e;

I'm pretty sure you have to assault each pair of positions simultaneously, since the same thing happened to me until I did it with a partner and we split up.
... Or you have to clear out each position fast enough if you're soloing, I heard.

You do have to defeat them in a certain time limit~ It's generally not difficult to do even if you don't split up as a group...but a group is almost necessary.

That mission has three monster spawn points, one at each gate into taillteann. If the guards at one of the entrances die, then the mission fails!
-edit- (one post down) Thought thats what it was called, my bad.

Lol, you're thinking of Taillteann Defensive Battle, I think.
Thanks other dudes, I'll do it with a buddy next time. =w=

I think it's just like the Offering SM, in where if there's a certain number of Shadow Monsters in the map at one time, you fail the mission. At least, that's what I came up with when I attempted it on my Human, and got a sudden fail, and yet blew through each checkpoint on my Giantess. Not sure how long you have before the next wave spawns on the timer though.

Battle of Tailteann I is more of a party SM. The mobs spawns divide into two different directions.
If you take one path, the other fork will keep spawning causing you to fail after a bit of time. To solve this problem, its best to bring a party member so each member can take a different path.
If your looking to solo, Battle of Tailteann II is solo-able as the spawns don't split so no party member is needed.

You can solo it if you know the spawn locations and the order in which they spawn. I used to do this and battle II hard for levels. When you kill one mob the next "may" have 2 spawn points which you have about 2 mins or less to kill both spots before its a failed mission. The Formors supposedly go and get reinforcements if left alone too long.

Its supposed to be a team mission where you clear both sides by splitting up. Soloists have to alternate quickly.
You probably didn't move fast enough.
