Crushflange. 33% crushing - is very nice. If I shall use Cleglaw gloves vs bosses, I'll not craft blood gloves, so I need another sourse of crushing. Maybe I'll keep crushing weapon on weapon swap vs act bosses. I am not sure yet. Keep this mace for now. Gonna test it vs Mephisto.

The most hated thing in this Act.

Pretty dangerous cat. But he is helpless against mighty Bash.

Finally!

Look at Crag's inventory and chest.

Now look, what a mess next to Fara.

What a mess next to tavern! That's why many players use ATMA. It was so boring, at least every ten minutes to go back to town to pick up and drop every item back on the ground to reset the timer so that none of them disappeared, because I need them all in this Single Pass walkthrough.

After few minutes of cubing.

And the most pleasant moment in this act. I started to cube diamonds to savage polearms. That's why I kept all these diamonds. I bought the kris daggers from Fara, and the staffs and belts in the first act, because they are much cheaper there.
And look, what beasts I've got.

The third one I will role with small gems to get at least 45-50%ED and 2 soc. And I am still not sure which one - the first or second one, I will use until I get nice partizan with 2 sock. Maybe I even use Larzuk quest on one of them, if I don't get something better on normal. Decent weapon for the beginning of Nightmare, I guess. For now, I keep them all.

My strength and dexterity are still low for using partizans, so I made this lochaber axe. Look at this beauty -79% ED and 6%LL! I probably will use it until I got another sourse of life leech.

I had no luck with the shrines in this act. I have not yet met a single Experience Shrine, I guess. And this is the first Gem Shrine. I made flawless emerald, gonna put it in armor to meet sooner partizan dexterity requirements.

Actually not bad amulet vs Duriel.

Finally belt with 16 boxes. Mana is also a nice bonus, horking eats mana very fast at low levels. And I hork everything

New Prevent Heal Weapon. This sabre takes up half the space. Diablo 2 is not only slaying demons and undead game, it's also a space management game And I haven't got malice yet. With new polearm I kill most targets in few strikes, sometimes - just in one. But I prefer to keep "prevent monster heal" weapon with me, just in case.

Angelic armor.

I meant to tell you to click in the middle of your "health" orb and your "mana" orb so we can see your life/mana stats as you progress

Shadowfang. Not bad sword for the beginning, but its damage doesn't look serious compared to my polearms. Doesn't even worh upgrading. And also I am trying to avoid cold damage, coz I need corpses for horking.

Craig was tired of all this walking dead stuff, and decided to distract himself a little. He began to study the local fauna, and specifically - bugs.
This Coldworm is a joke on Normal. But he is not so funny on Nightmare. And on Hell it's defenitly a pain in the ass for the most untwinked chars.
The problem is that most of the characters don't have enough killing power to kill new bugs faster than Coldworm produces new ones.
So what I did? I killed everything in this room except Coldworm, and after some time he stopped to produce new ones. I spent 1-2 minutes with him - no new maggots.
So the number of new bugs is not infinite. Maybe on higher difficulties this number is much bigger, but it's certainly must be finite.

And what I did next? I left Coldworm and waited some time in different places on this location.
When I waited relatively close to him (green marks on the map) and come back after - same result, no new maggots. But when I waited to far from him, it looks like his number of available eggs was reset, and he started to produce new ones.
So what I decided to do next time? (If Crag ever meet Coldworm again ) Never rush to him obviously. Never try to tank these fucking insects all together. Just slowly taunt and kill them one by one, until that big fat maggot run out of eggs. Don't go too far from his lair. And keep some ort/ral runes with me, in case of repair.

Sure, thanks for advise. I completely forgot that you can play and see on screen, how many health you have now. It's actually very useful to be sure, that BO is still active or not.
New screenshots will be with this little addition.

Cybed eth rune. Still need Ith for Malice.

And another close call situation. This moment was even more dangerous because Crag completely stuck in this corner surrounded by extra fast snakes and skeletons supported by mummies. The first time I had to drink rejuvs to survive. Maybe I started to play too agressive, after I get a new weapon. Also in situations like this, I think War Cry can save your ass, I should take this skill at 30 lvl, and maybe even add few more points later. And defenitly I need much more health, coz I sacrificed too much for str/dex, I have just 45 vitality now.

Found this beuty. Some resits, str, more gold for gambling and damage goes to mana. I need to test this DGtM mode, perhaps with it I don't even need mana leach.
