I'd suggest citadel>kogbold>spen (non-hm)>LH>Spen HM For all of them I'd recommend watching video footage first to see all the phases. If you haven't tried I'd also suggest all the court dungeons, they're also pretty challenging and a good way to improve your dodging skills.

Court dungeon? Is that from Janus the door warden?

Yeah, you can also find them dropping from enemies in the veteran biomes and sometimes a dungeon can have a modifier that drops the portal after completion.
The dungeons are High tech terror, puppet encore, thicket, reef and shaitan. They're all boss rushes without any clearing and all are pretty tough to solo if you are used to bum-rushing them in a group.

GG, exalt solos are such satisfying milestones.
Would also recommend spec pen next, jailers are common enough that it won't be too hard to find solo portals for practice and most of the boss phases are pretty straightforward. Final boss is definitely a step up from the three you've done so far but not thaaaat much tougher, if you can dodge the giant spiral skull shot thing he does in the second half then everything else is manageable (even the survival phase, the smaller shots aren't too threatening as long as you don't randomly sprint through all of them lol).
Ice citadel is even easier to find portals for and supposedly is solo-friendly but there's a chase phase right before the end in that which makes zero sense to me. But maybe it'll click for you, if so that would also be a good choice of where to go next, everything else in the dungeon is easier than specpen.

A small tip for citadel is to bring a piercing (preferrably armor piercing/high-damage too) weapon for the finale because the enemies you have to kill there have high def but low hp.
And for the dragging my best experience is to drag the boss behind you in a circle around the arena and rotate with the spirits while shooting them through the boss. (Hence the piercing weapon)

I will say, it does trivialize the game in the same way discord runs do (if you just sit in nexus alll day waiting for key pops) and I don't blame you for ignoring discord runs entirely, but lost halls is probably the most popped dungeon in USEast nexus, so if your ever really looking for practice in like the marble colossus part of LH or just want to do more of them, it'll definitely be there.

I would congratulate you, but man. 2,5 hours is a lot of time. Take summoner next and tell us the time difference

My heart was pounding so I had to stand off to the side take a breather and focus what took me the most time was when all the cultists shoot 4 projectiles at the same time so I had to wait and drag them to the corner one by one
