This guy sucked. took forever to kill and hit hard.
(This is in tal's real tomb, trying to get rid of the staff for more stash space)


Found the room, got rid of staff, /p8


hit 86 in tals real tomb

Uni Poignard. pretty worthless.. worth like 27k gold


Finally found a flawless Amethyst, Rolled a 4 sock CV. need to find a Ral to roll and insight in it... should open up a lot more dmg for merc (will need to figure out how to get him about 16 str to use)



Cute, but needed more sockets to be worthwhile

Tals tomb is cleared, Just need a ral for CV insight. At this point I am debating skipping clearing all tombs as it literally takes forever. I probably invested around 6-8 hours just clearing Aracane. took about 2-2.5 hours to clear tals tomb.
The unravelers are just ridiculous. And i cannot kill the apparitions in a sufficient time... not sure what I will do at this point. I need to at least continue until I find a ral (have tir tal sol). Canyon of Magi is cleared also.


I've decided to clear the tombs without Apparitions. the others I can come back and clear later if I find a weapon that can kill Immune to physical, or I will just say screw em. First tomb after duriels tomb is easy, and about 1/3 of the size of the real tomb. Easy clear, chest drop = garbage, but a little gold is nice :0
(There were 3 sets of unique urdars in this tomb)


So, I'm able to clear 4/7 tombs at this point (Including real tomb). 3/7 have apparitions. Spectacularly right at the entrance of tomb #3 a Ral drops, I can make the insight now.
E: Contemplated giving up clearing tombs at this point and just going for Duriel, then I decided to press on and finish clearing what I can.,

Rolled my insight, bad roll, but dmg is spectacular compared to what merc has right now.


I needed to find a way to get about 16 STR for merc so he can use the CV Insight, I decided to try gambling a few circlets because I have no Amethysts... Was a tough choice for me to make because I am can forsee myself needing mass gold for reviving merc/pots against Duriel. I got lucky and only spent about 600k on this circlet w str, still hovering right around 1 mil gold


Mercs dmg doubled because of Insight... too bad its not Eth or a good roll haha. gave up a little attack speed but the max dmg is quite a nice boost.
Will help our teams kill speed greatly.

Couldnt figure out why this room was impossible to clear. There were 3 unique unravelers. God that sucked. (1 w holy freeze so attacks sucked)
Took me about 45 minutes to clear this one room because of those guys


Hmm, maybe a new shield for switch when using rabies (at least until I can get a spirit monarch and spirit sword). Currently using Culwens point for the +1 skills (adds about 600 psn dmg)


45 all res, good res now on switch, stormchaser scutum is sold.

Made a Perfect ruby and had the supplies for a glove craft. Decent pair if I were another char where I could use the IAS, but Nty for me.


I'm currently at about 7 of these unique unravelers and had enough of them, and whats w the curse! seem's like I've ran this whole act cursed...


Cleared the treasure room... more gold is all i see.

And another one


I was disheartened to see just 1, turned out inside that room there were 3 Unique unravelers again, and 1 unique blood lord. these tombs have been a nightmare with all the revives.
On top of that they had Curse, Xtra strong, and fana..


Luring the blood lords out they dropped these terrible gloves

Blood lords down, now to try tackle the Unique Unravelers, Heres this fun one, Fana/X strong


They were hitting pretty hard w X strong and Fana, had a really close call - think I was down to about 600-800 hp. managed to run out and get healed up



Finally making it into the room. these tombs have been a nightmare so far. Mana burn hasnt helped either - get hit and cant cast bear to tank

Thats it for the night, Clearing the tombs became a nightmare of a headache. I thought I was going to stockpile some juvies for Duriel, but ended up burning them all staying alive. Tomorrow I will face duriel (skipping 3/7 tombs) and start the battle w 1 full juvie.

I have had a few close calls in the Tombs and encounted far more unique unravelers than I would ever want to.
Tomorrow I will try to make a current gear/stat pics and then start on duriel.

Have a good night all.

Nice Progress, no reruns is tough, good thing you found ribcracker, but it really needs to be upgrated.
