For those of you doing meph runs knowing pathfinding can be very handy and save a lot of time.

Q: What is pathfinding?
A: Getting to mephisto using no hack just knowledge about d2 level structure.


Lets get on to the guide:

The fist thing to do when you enter the level 2 wp is to check your surroundings. You will be in a "room" with only one exit. Let you character face towards that exit.
From here we can apply the following rule for pathfinding to mephisto. The entrance to lvl "room" will be on your left.




Here is a better visualization for those who need:

I made a quick sketch of how the entrance rooms will look depending on the wp room:


Here is another example:


And finally:


This sort of pathfinding can also be done in other areas of the game e.g. andy lvl 2-3. However in this case the entrance to lvl 3 will be on ones right side as opposed to mephisto. *Note this will not work for andy lvl 3-4 but 100% on meph 2-3 and andy 2-3.

Let me know if I went over this too quick and I will explain further when I get some more time on my hands.

I believe that the way to find Nilathak has something to do with using the walls or rather the inscription in them am I right? Cant say for sure as I dont play LoD.
