Found a starting AR ring. Need help hitting the stuff to kill it


Skipped a few screenshot it seems, but nothing big happened. Nice WP if I actually needed to run Countess


Double Tal. Might be useful for a poison resist armor or some damage.

Found the WP, now let's hope for some good maps to run a few Andy kills


A good start...


Yup definitely running some Andy runs

First kill was underwhelming, but a ton of gems! Happy for me!


The mace was actually an upgrade, so I will take it. LL and ML is nice so I don't burn as many pots


If I was a summon necro...my lordy

So I did a few Andy runs for exp/gear and got some upgrades! First the armor


Then the ring. Love the AR here


Now onto act 2!!

So, I didn't take any screenshots of Rada, but I was pretty weak going in. I did a couple more Andy runs, got some levels, and got a pretty nice scimitar that has LL and light resist. Good for beetles! Anyway, pick it up on these glove upgrades



First unique! Wonder what it is...



Good old Noko. Will be good in Act 3/4

Again, I failed with SS but I did maggot lair with nothing great happening. Same with Viper, but got a picture of the ammy



Got #blessed with a 1st way arcane



Summoner is shit drop city

wow bro gg walkthrough
my favorite point was when u killed countess and got 2x tal like seriously what are the odds of that haha? and you are a barb so not much use lol but hey better then el lmao hehehe
keep going, tracking ofc, best of luck really looking forward to see what happens next in this epic journey

So, my screenshots got mixed up, but somewhere before Duriel I found this axe. It improved my kill speed greatly! Also, got myself some nice merc gear and got a nice merc who helps kill speed so much. These two things got me through A2



Poor Eth



Stick it in!!

So, my strategy for Duriel was going to be pump some thawing potions, have me tank and have my Merc do damage. It works for Andy, so why not Dury? Pump it up!



Yeah, it didn't work. The thawing pots worked, but Dury went straight for my merc every time. The whole fight took me about 10-15 minutes of constant towning to revive merc and buy pots. But eventually she is down.



Isenhart Helm. Honestly an upgrade, so why not. Might get more pieces eventually (like the armor that drops a ton of times).



Onto Act 3!!! Might take me a little while as I don't play much during the week with work and life. But I will make it eventually.
