After the vehicle explodes, enter the fortress through the hole.

Kill Idolator Sol & Kill Order forces

Inside the fortress, you will reach an area with enemies, kill them all.

Kill Idolator Sol & Find airship hangar

A gate will open, and a badass enemy appears. Kill him or run past him and follow the path to find the hangar.

Disable Sol’s airship, Kill Idolator Sol & Activate refueling platform

Turn right and follow the path to find the hangar with the enemies.

Kill some and activate the refueling platform.

Disable Sol’s airship, Kill Idolator Sol & Remove docking clamps

Now get onto the platform in front of the ship and remove the first two clamps with your grappling hook.

The third clamp is behind the ship. Turn right and jump to the other side, and follow the path to reach the back of the ship.

Kill Idolator Sol

Move forward and jump, and glide to the platform in the back.

Follow the way and enter the elevator and press the button on the elevator.

Run past enemies and go up some stairs, and at the end, drop down the hole to find Idolator Sol.

He is armored, and you can not damage him until he drops staffs. One of the staff will be green, grab it and throw it onto him. This removes the armor and you can acutally damage him now.
