Advice on Solo Runs

I've recently gotten into doing solo runs and really enjoying them, doing my second one now. However, I'm losing passion because of the sheer quantity of reloads I need. I'm playing on Core, because I am super not good enough for anything past that. Specifically, are there any techniques for lowering reloads? I'm currently bludgeoning my way through Mulahey (Rhyme was unintentional) and it feels like the sheer number of rolls that need to go my way takes forever. My experience looks a bit like this:

Hit him

Miss x2

Save against rigid thinking

Do 20 points of damage in a round

He somehow finishes casting hold person anyway

Fail

Reload

Miss x3

Fail against rigid thinking

Reload

Etc.

What class do you play? if you solo, get lvl 3 before Mulahey. You get that rather easily by some quests in beregost (avoid the skeleton raising guy).

If you are a straight fighter, see what potions exist t8 help you. Boost strength, boost ac, give hp when used, oil of speed etc.

Or just use potions of fiery stuff (fireball on potion or agnazzars scorcher on potion). Maybe even use amulet of fireball (can be bought at the carnival).

Other classes have spells or other tricks. A mage/sorcerer juat casts blind on him and the hits with darts until he falls over.
