Nice one on collecting the three Bers! Will be so badass to socket IK set with them

Guessing there's no option for Lawbringer, being vanilla? Flynn really struggled with Meph on hell, too, until he switched for a temporary A5 merc.

I'd say 45 light res is still kinda low too. A faceful of his Charged Bolts is really no joke, even on NM they took a big chunk outta Sagramor with similar light res.

Just trying to think of other options... Decrep charges from Spellsteal? Would be costly but might help.

Speaking of costly, my freaking armor is 89k per 1 durability to repair. I can only just BARELY keep up with it if I sell items from Meph every single game which cuts into run time. Honestly when I made the armor, I forgot about the insane repair cost of superior elite armors. It was fine in LK, because Ral runes were dropping all over the place for free repairs. In Meph runs that's not the case. So unfortunately I can't add any more gold expense to the character for now. I can't even use merc right now, since I can't afford to resurrect him when he inevitably dies every 1-3 games. I'm planning on replacing this armor ASAP haha. Skullders or Shaftstop is what I'm hoping for atm. And yeah, I've noticed that his Charged Bolt attack, if up close, does over 1k damage. That's why I have to run around so much letting healing pots catch up - I need to stay above 2k life or else he could RIP me swiftly with 2x charged bolt attacks in a row. His physical damage also hurts a lot. You are correct that I can't use Lawbringer. ATM my plan is to basically struggle through Meph runs on high-alert until I can find a reaper's toll and get rid of this 89k per dura armor. At that point I'll be able to add merc/decrep/might to the runs and I think I should be good to go! So here's hoping for an early Reaper's drop!

Ahh yeah I saw that, wasn't it over 2 mill to fully patch up the armour?

Indeed, I think if you get really unlucky and stand in a certain spot it kinda "shotguns" so you eat a lot/all the bolts at once, very nasty!

Guess all ya can do is stick with safety and hope for a swift Reaper's. Good lord I hope you have better luck than Flynn... took him over 1600 runs to find one

Christ. My runs right now are like ~5 mins each lol so hopefully I can find some gear to speed them up or I'm looking at a 133 hour grind for Reaper's

Gonna sit down and do some runs for the entirety of The Princess Bride movie now. I'll number the runs to see how many I can do during the movie, and I'll try to pick out some good Fezzik quotes along the way

PS if anyone gets the chance to buy The Princess Bride collector's edition bluray from the Criterion Collection definitely do it! It's such a great film and that edition is so high quality I'm blown away every time I take it off the shelf! At this very moment as I type I am blown! Blown right away!

Good read. Tracking

Interesting, keep it up !

Good for you. Keep up the grind

I decided to kill some stuff in Flayer Jungle to hit 84 before continuing Meph runs and found this. Will try to cube it for 3os for a 1k+ def merc Treachery.


84 with merc might

Manald


This was during the Princess Bride runs


I numbered all of those runs

Another lightning facet


3rd Gores


I think 234%ed is the highest I've seen for level 33 before.
