At 23 I loved soloing the gargoyles in OOT. Depending on your server, they
may be camped all the time or never camped. I don't remember if I had to
bellow/kite one a bit to get it's life down before I started all instrument
attack on it, probably depends on your equipment.
To get to this island, you get on the boat at Freeport. Once in OOT, hop
off at first stop (Sister Island). Then swim South by Southwest and you'll
see the island. You'll need to clear the skels to get gargoyles to spawn.
Incidentally, before you camp, leave a couple of gargoyles on the island.
They'll kill the skeletons so that the next person just has gargoyles.
You just need to be careful as to where you kite them as bellow/kiting can
be monotonous. Good money and exp though. A partner never hurts out here
either.
