A few weeks ago I started one project - HC, Players 8, single pass, no mercenary, barbarian walkthrough.
And my barbarian, Crag Hack, was doing pretty fine. He killed Normal Diablo and already started to clean his Homeland from demons.
But at some point I stopped that project and deleted my char. I made some minor mistakes with stat/skill point allocation and equipment selection. I also was very tired to play Diablo 2 all the day during a week. But the main reason I think - I was just in the bad mood. Yes, I am definitely not as stubborn and determined as Crag.
So, after some time I decided to restart my "Ironman challenge" project one more time. This walkthrough will end with either Crag's death or the death of the Hell Cow King.

And few days ago after cleaning my brawser data, I realised that I lost somewhere paper with my password/e-mail to this site. I was new here, so I didn't bother to restore my account and just made a new one.

So let's start.

THE RULES (almost the same from previous time)
1. Hardcore - obviously
2. Players 8 - at all times
3. Single Pass - no rerun any areas or act bosses
4. Solo Walkthrough - Once my first mercenary dies - i'm not allowed to ressurect her or hire another one
5. No reroll ancients or any areas
6. I am not allowed to collect quest rewards from previous difficulties
7. No TP during boss fights (Actually I'm not gonna use TP during any fights, but if I already opened portal to town to sell some items, and I hear "Be-be-be", I will not bother to search that fallen, running somewhere around)
8. Save and exit - only in town
9. Life tap is prohibited
10. No stat/skill reset
11. No ladder rune words
12. No extended stash

Here we go!

Crag Hack had a strange feeling that he had once been to this place. But he did not believe in parallel universes, and quickly dismissed these thoughts.

All the girls love Crag Hack.

As always Crag started completely untwinked.

And he went to terrorize the little demons and rob them of their valuables.

Weapon upgrade. This ML will be very useful for horking everything

"Good riddance, Blood Raven."

And I got my first and only mercenary - Aliza.

I hoped that she would become a fire archer, but Aliza immediately began destroying the corpses with her ice arrows, which I need for the Find Item skill. I'm pretty sure this skeleton had a ring on its finger before Alice turned it into ice.
