The plan here was to hit Andariel w/ "Steel" for OW and then switch to my Ral'ed large axe. Only needed to run away to heal once

On my very first re-run of Andariel, I got Amp'ed and pinned

As per the restriction, I cannot proceed onto Act II until I receive five (5) unique drops from Andariel. During the numerous runs, I found a good amount of slight upgrades for Bair!

1st unique

Technically, this is the 5th unique to drop, and I have to equip the 5th drop throughout Act II; but that would have been too easy with a Nagel. So let's count this as Unique #4.5 since it's a duplicate drop anyway!

Here we are! Lucky #5!! So I must use Blood Crescent as my weapon 100% during my completion of Act II.

(Not too bad! I was kinda hoping to be able to use Crushflange and it's 33% CB, but oh well...)

Take me away, Warren G...

I was planning on starting the second act by now, but it took me so many Andy runs to get 5 unique drops...

Are you still doing wind and melee?

If so, you have the patience of a stone. All that switching back and forth between forms and weapons would drive me insane. Will be an interesting one. Good luck!

Yep, I just switched from a Medic Paladin. Now that build requires patience. Most boss fights took 15-30 minutes minimum (Duriel [Hell] took over an hour) to kill and it literally consisted of me holding down the left key on my mouse to spam Holy Bolts on my merc for he was the only one able to kill anything (with the exception of Undead monsters, I could help out then). So playing a Windy Werebear is a breeze!! I actually get to play the game now lol

Restrictions: 1) I cannot hire an Act II merc throughout the entirety of this Act; and 2) I cannot use Thawing Potions while fighting the Summoner & Duriel.

My damage output is horrendous... This weapon is garbage

Laylah tov, my friend...

Priase Eliza Thornberry for carrying the team! Without her high dmg, Act II would take forever for me to clear :hail:

... And it's all thanks to this piece of shit drop from Andariel :love:

(I forgot to mention that it breaks constantly...)

I will NEVER take the Cube for granted ever again... It's been so long since I've been limited to the original stash size :mellow:

I've been hoarding a bunch of chipped Sapphires (for the rule in Act IV) and Rubies (for +Life and/or crafting).

So this is what I have so far...
