Rush Guide
New and never had a rush done or never performed one? Been away a while and unsure of what to do with the content that came at the end of the Open Beta? This is for you guys.
The goal of this guide is to create a standardized reference for how to perform a rush, or to have one done for you. (You would be surprised at how often this is messed up)
Act One
1.
Use the
Mud Flats
waypoint and clear out an area surrounding the 3
Rhoa Nest
objects and a path from there to the Lower Submerged Passage. Town Portal, and walk them to the passage.
Be wary of Oozeback Bloom, he can one shot the person being rushed
Make sure they grab all three
Glyphs
2.
Use
The Prison
waypoint and find Brutus's room inside the Warden's Chambers section of the Upper Prison.
Town Portal at the
entrance
to his room, not inside it. They will still get the quest, and it is safer. Kill Brutus and then go back to your town portal
The waypoint following Brutus is
automatically acquired
when Brutus is killed, the new character may take the portal back home instantly.
3.
Use
Merveial's Cavern
waypoint, and make your way to the Merevil's Lair section of the Cavern of Anger following the previous area. TP and Kill, Merevil is so easy that the new character can remain in her lair without fear, unlike Brutus.
Act Two
0.5
After the Merevil Kill, use the waypoint to go to the Forest Encampment, then step back through the town exit to the Southern Forest. Make a town portal there, the new character can take that town portal from Lioneye's Watch, and enter directly into the A2 town without risk or wasted time
1.
Use the
The Chamber of Sins
waypoint, and make your way to Helena and kill Fidelitas and open a portal at the
Strange Device
.
Make sure the new chacter grabs the
Baleful Gem
from the
Strange Device
2.
Use
The Western Forest
waypoint and make your way into the Weaver's Chambers and into The Weaver's Nest. Standard safe kill
Town Portal at the
entrance
to her room, not inside it. Minions of the Weaver spawn all over, and can be dangerous to fledgling characters
Make sure the new chacter grabs
Maligaro's Spike
from the carnage.
3.
Use
The Wetlands
waypoint and make a TP. tell the player to use the spike on the roots and go back to Act 2
4.
Use
The Northern Forest
waypoint, go backwards and find the Vaal Ruins entrance. Then find the Ancient Seal in the Vaal Ruins and TP right before the seal's empty spot. Take the portal to go home.
5.
Ask the new character which Bandits he wishes to kill, and which to help. Note that you cannot help the new character kill a Bandit that you helped. If you talk to the bandit and the other character(s) have chosen different options,
you will be able to send each other permanently to standard in Hardcore Mode if you chose different options
Make sure
the new character grabs
The Apex
from the bandit they help, or Eramir in town if they kill all of them
Kraityn is located at the end of the path in
The Broken Bridge
Alira is located on a random side of the map in
The Western Forest
.
The trick to finding her quickly is to find the destroyed fork in the path, and follow the direction of that broken portion, if it was not broken
Town Portal behind the mound of stuff that Alira stands in front of
Oak is located in
The Wetlands
in the middle of the map.
The trick to finding him easily is to simply follow the river north, Oak's camp is right in the middle of it
Town portal behind the mound of stuff Oak stands in front of, as with Alira
If the new character doesn't know which reward is which, read or link them this:

6.
Use
The Caverns
waypoint and walk the long way up to the Ancient Pyramid, and to the Pyramid Apex. Town Portal and kill the Vaal oversoul Beware of his Smash.
TP at the entrance to the Pyramid Apex, it is much safer for low levellers. Even the Oversoul's falling rocks attack can be deadly at times.
The Smash attack for the Oversoul is deadly on Merciless. It does 6,000 fire and 6,000 physical damage. The trick to avoiding it is to simply stand back when he walks and raises the hammer, and, when running from it in a worst case scenario, run perpendicular to the direction the hammer is heading towards. It has a ridiculous up-down splash area, but a pitiful left-right one.
Act Three
0.5
After Vaal oversoul is killed take the exit out to The City of Sarn and escort the player until you find Clarissa, surrounded by guards. Kill them and any nearby monsters and then clear the path towards The Sarn Encampment
1.1
Use
The Crematorium
waypoint and find the large room containing Piety in Lightning form and a group of blackguards. Rush in and take her to half HP then clear the area and make a portal.
The one being rushed does not ever need to be in the room to do the quest
Make sure the new character takes
Tolman's Bracelet
from
Piety's torture device
1.2
Tell him to go home and take the
Sewer Keys
from Clarassi. While they get the keys, locate the Sewer Entrance in The Slums, and TP right next to it, then head home
2.
Use
The Battlefront
waypoint and head south west to find and kill Captain Aurelianus and his guards that encircle the Blackguard Chest. Town portal at it, after checking a safe circle around it
Make sure the character being rushed takes the Ribbon Spool from the Blackguard Chest (You need to take this to Lady Dialia, but we will do that after the next quest)
3.
Use
The Docks
waypoint, (or head north west after clearing the Blackguard Chest) and search all the dead ends to find the Supply Container. Clear the magic monster mob around it, and town portal
Make sure the new character takes the
Infernal Talc
from the Supply Container
3.1
Use
The Solaris Temple
waypoint and town portal on top of it. This completes The Ribbon Spool and Fiery Dust in one fell swoop. Make sure that the one being rushed receives the
Infernal Talc
from Dialia
3.2
Use
The Warehouse Sewers
waypoint and walk west, town portal just before where the Undying Blockage would be. Make sure they destroy the Undying Blockage, however they do not need to go to the next area
4.
Use
The Lunaris Temple
waypoint and make your way down past Kole and the bowels of Lunaris Temple level 3 to the glowing orange circle titled 'Portal' at the end of a long string of stairs. Make a town portal and then kill Piety
When encountering stairs and looking for Piety, always go up. Up will nearly always lead you correctly, going down means you are backtracking
When you enter the last set of standard stairs and see three broken carts, go in the direction that has only
one cart
, the other is a dead end every time
TP at the
entrance
to Piety's Sanctum, not inside it. Minions or far flying Ice shots will destroy your low level ward. (Hi Ed.)
Make sure they take the
Tower Key
from Piety's corpse. (Note: Before Piety is when payment for Act 3 rushes is usually collected)
5.1
Take either
The Imperial Gardens
waypoint and head north east, or
The Sceptre of God
waypoint and head down the several flights of stairs (this is simpler sometimes, as the SoG is always symmetrical in design) and Town Portal at the top of the stairs outside where the huge door is. Then head home
5.2
Take
The Sceptre of God
waypoint and make your way up through the Upper Sceptre of God, until you reach a final bloody transition door that does not look like the other spiraling stairs. Town portal at it, and head up to kill Dominus
The player does not need to enter upstairs, they will either be killed by Dominus/his minions if they enter.
Act Four
0.5
After the Dominus Kill, use the waypoint to go to
The Sarn Encampment
, then step back through the town exit to
The Aqueduct
. Make a town portal there, the new character can take that town portal from
The Sarn Encampment
, and enter directly into the A4 town without risk or wasted time
1.
Take the exit to
The Dried Lake
and make your way to Voll, TP and kill.
Make sure the player pickups up
Deshret's Banner
and uses it on
The Mines exit North West
2.
Use the
Kaom's Stronghold
waypoint and make your way to
Caldera of The King
entrance and enter, make a portal and kill.
This can get pretty hairy for any low level character so be careful (being able to kill fast will make it a piece of cake)
Make sure the player pickups up
Eye of Fury
3.
Use
The Grand Arena
waypoint and make your way to the
Arena
entrance and enter, make a portal and kill.
Daresso has 3 phases so have the player being rushed sit next the wall far away
Make sure the player pickups up
Eye of Desire
4.
Use
The Crystal Veins
waypoint and have the player take the
Eye of Fury
and
Eye of Desire
to Dialla
5.
Take the entrance to
The Belly of The Beast Level 1
and make your way to
Belly of the Best Level 2
, kill Piety and TP
Have the player talk to her then go back to Act 5
The player does not have to be present for Pietys death
6.
Use
The Harvest
waypoint and open a portal, this is where the player being rushed will stay for the rest of the time until you kill Malachai
Go and kill Doedre, Maligaro and Shavronne
Head back to the waypoint and and enter the
Black Core
and complete both of Malachais phases to complete the difficulty
General tips for Rushers:
Leave nothing to chance, you have no idea how new or laggy the person you are rushing is! Kill every monster within a screen and a half of your TP and the object the player needs to interact with.
Try to get multiple players in on one rush, you double your profit, and most of the rush time is spent making town portals and walking anyway. [This is common sense, yes I know]
Before making a portal, check to see if the person you are rushing has picked up/used the quest object and portalled back home yet.
Carry lots of TP scrolls. For a full A1-3 Rush with skill point side quests, you need upwards of 30 TP scrolls
You can report people in game for scamming on services, right click their name and choose Report.
General tips for players being rushed
Be wary of malicious rushers who want to PK you in the Bandit quest. If possible, click the 'Kill' or 'Help' dialogue when you are a screen or so away from the rusher, if the player turns red on the minimap when you choose, you are being hostiled, and need to exit right then, at the very least you received a free rush. If possible, complete the quest on your own.
You can report people in game for scamming on services, right click their name and choose Report. Be as descriptive as possible.
Don't linger after boss kills, grab only what is obviously valuable, meaning all uniques, and rares amulets/rings in Merciless. Most likely the rusher is already watching you to see when you head home so that they can make the next portal. Time is orbs.

Great guide man very detailed spells it all out
Always wondered if you could get credit being "outside" the room for certain bosses. Big help.
