I'm surprised it was such a cakewalk -- MM3 and newer, even tougher solos are what I was thinking of in terms of creating set piece "boss battles" in 4E epic tier. Sadly Quinn Murphy's At-Will blog has disappeared from the internet, but the worldbreaker solo concept presented there was excellent. There were a few other souped up solo concepts around the same time, and <a href="http://angrydm.com/2010/08/the-dd-boss-fight-colmarrs-monster-meyham/" target="_blank">Angry DM</a> did a decent job of summarizing them. In any case, I agree that epic tier is problematic as published. Despite trying to achieve a 30-level sweet spot, 4E is still best in heroic just like every other edition of D&D so far. You'll definitely need to amp up "boss monster" resistances and contend with the fact that every character will have a "once per day, when you die, do something absurd" trigger. In my wife's Tomb of Horrors game, our dragonborn warlord resurrects as a gargantuan shadow dragon if he somehow manages to die. Things get crazy. Plan accordingly. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
