How do I ACTUALLY solo bosses?
So I tried to find an answer to it but all people say is: "Just create a party".
And then what? I can create a party by my own. But when I click on a dungeon boss, it still searches for people.
How do I fight, let's say, the Balrog completely solo? I create a party. And then I do.... What exactly?

You need to manually go to the boss location on the world map to enter solo.
To fight the Balrog, create a party, then go to the map "Bottom of the Temple" in Sleepywood. You can get there by going to Sleepywood, taking the taxi to Another Door, then following the lower portal down until you hit the bottom.
Once there, speaking to NPC Mu Young should allow you to enter the Balrog fight (it's either that, or the portal on the left, I forget which).
other bosses that dont you need to go where the boss is
like zakum you can go to el nath and talk to job instructors in the one building to be teleported to entrance map
and npc at that map will teleport you back
most other bosses req you to actually travel to them
after that its a matter of your damage range/output and knowledge of the boss mechanics
You can create a party and only be the one in it and try to fight bosses on your own. You can also que and search for party members to raid bosses. Soloing bosses depends on range and gear. Balrog one of my faves along with ice knight is one of the few easy bosses to beat so thats a good start.
But it be good to watch videos and look at guides as it will show you how to get started.
yeah the changes to zakum while back made him way harder (and next to impossible to farm his summons familiars)
but he isnt as bad as tengu from mushroom shrine tales spaming his 1hit skills and the kb skill right before the purple shield which is start of phase you can damage him... (basically a hit the right keys to damage him disappointed you cant straight up fight tengu with your jobs skills at any-point of the battle)
First and foremost, the Maple Guide is your friend. Kill enough monsters in certain maps (or complete a questline in certain cases) and you get the stamp for that area in the maple guide. This allows you to teleport in front of or very close to most of the bosses.
For bosses where the maple guide is useless (Magnus and Gollux come to mind), you still don't have to walk there manually. You use the boss queue feature that searches for other players. You simply ask someone in your guild or alliance to "q" you to a specific boss. Once your guildie helps you in teleporting there, you simply leave the party and create a new one for yourself if you want to solo. This is a common practice, at least in my alliance. The process literally takes seconds, so people are usually more than willing to help.
If maple guide can't get you close and nobody is willing to q you there, then and only then should you walk there manually. Unless you enjoy sightseeing of course
Hope this helps! Good luck and have fun.
