We apply the Weyl method, as sanctioned by Palais' symmetric criticality theorems, to obtain those -highly symmetric -geometries amenable to explicit solution, in generic gravitational models and dimension. The technique consists of judiciously violating the rules of variational principles by inserting highly symmetric, and seemingly gauge fixed, metrics into the action, then varying it directly to arrive at a small number of transparent, indexless, field equations. Illustrations include spherically and axially symmetric solutions in a wide range of models beyond D=4 Einstein theory; already at D=4, novel results emerge such as exclusion of Schwarzschild solutions in cubic curvature models and restrictions on ``independent'' integration parameters in quadratic ones. Another application of Weyl's method is an easy derivation of Birkhoff's theorem in systems with only tensor modes. Other uses are also suggested.

All $2D$ generalised dilaton theories from $d\geq 4$ gravities
Generic 2D Horndeski theories arise from dimensional reduction of d≥4 gravities, yielding a Birkhoff theorem for quasi-topological gravities where static spherically symmetric solutions satisfy g_tt g_rr = -1 and are ...

Spherically symmetric solutions in quasi-local Einstein-Weyl gravity
In quasi-local Einstein-Weyl gravity, static spherically symmetric Frobenius solutions are classified: regular cores only, Schwarzschild-like horizons and wormhole throats, plus asymptotic 1/r^6 corrections to Schwarzschild.

Black bounces to traversable wormholes from pure gravity in four and higher dimensions
Any static spherically symmetric wormhole or black bounce with a single integration constant can be made the unique vacuum solution of some specially constructed higher-dimensional pure-metric gravity theory.

Conformal and pure scale-invariant gravities in d dimensions
For d>4, pure R^{d/2} gravity has no modes on flat space, and five-dimensional conformal gravity propagates three scalar, three vector, and two tensor modes, one of which is a ghost.

Probing phase transitions of regular black holes in anti-de Sitter space with Lyapunov exponent
For charged regular AdS black holes in quasi-topological gravity, the null-geodesic Lyapunov exponent jumps at the first-order phase transition and its phase difference vanishes at the critical point with exponent 1/2...
