Oh baby... That was a reality check in lvl 3. Right in the entrance. After rezzing merc at least 10 times (Almost out of gold now 200k left) and attempting to split them, I had no choice but to skip him. I just could not kill him with lightning immune and fire enchanted. His minions were just hitting too hard


I ran away on the right and lvl 4 was that way... what a serious break for me. Anyway, here it is... the final challenge. I hoped no lightning immunes were on lvl 4... There were a few afflicted, but no minions.


Not only did I not even clear half of her room because my merc is a stupid fuck who lures more mobs than meat in a lion cage, I had to lure her in the first room and kite her. Merc was 2 hitted and so was shadow. Mind Blast is really no use here so its a pure damage fight.

Like you can see, I kited her around the blood pool. It was a great strategy to use. Never used it before but like I said, I have to use my imagination to move on at this stage. Action shot while she is trying to hit the hell out of me.


And the kill shot.... I JUST COULDN'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT BABY! A GOD DAMN VMAGI! Are you kidding me? Hope its not eth... And it wasn't!


WHAT THE HELL! 35 all res! Almost perfect too! Wow. This is a serious game changer. It might even save my day. For once in this walkthrough, I'm so damn lucky.


With the emotion running high, I went to act 2 and save/exit to get a new tower map.

With my brand new shiny 35 all res vmagi, I went to the tower on a new map. Right on lvl 1, I find IK gloves. I could have used those on my barb WT hah


Another friend saying hi. This one was a bitch with lightning enchanted. Took a bunch of traps and fed my merc a bunch of pots too!


A bow I found in lvl 2. This remembers me 1.09 so much hah!

Lvl 3 was the worst lvl I faced. It was stacked with archers, and one of them were minions, cursed, extra fast and lightning enchanted. It took a good 15 minutes to go by this group, rezzing my merc 3-4 times. I have only 2-3 rezzes left before I have to sell some gems in my chest. I did not screenshot her since adrenaline was running high. I was able to convert some of them and using cloak of shadows, they could not hit me. Did that a few times and took them one by one with this strategy. Anyway... There were some coffins next to her and I was greatly rewarded with this ring. YES BABY! Lucky act 1!


This is it... I'm scared to go down but I am ready to mind blast the hell out of them if there is a welcoming committee downstairs.


There were champion blood clans in the entrance but they were still easy. There was also a lightning enchanted blood clan in the big room with a few archers. Conversion and cloak of shadows, and I got rid of them. Took a good 5 minutes though. Only the countess was left and I knew this would be an easy fight with mind blast and traps since he is never lightning immuned ( I think so :p)

Rune was a dol but I don't really care. All I wanted was to finish act1. And I did. I know act 2 will be a challenge too, but I am confident I can reach arcane sanc. Here are Countess drops. I am currently lvl 78 and lvling pretty fast with all these minions.


I dunno if I will continue some more today since gf wants to go shopping. Stay tuned for more updates!

Big gratz on that vmagi!! Nice progress

i should try this pretty soon.. looks fun

Before heading to act 2, I went back to nightmare and farm some gold to be able to rez merc if needed heh! So here is my gold total. I could have farmed max gold but I didn't feel like it.


Heading to Radament. First mob I find in act2... wow


Here is lvl 2. As you can see, I didn't clear much of Sewers lvl 1 to find it. Yay!

Another guy in Sewers lvl 2... They are surprisingly easy to kill.


And here is lvl 3. I met a couple of minions but none were really hard to kill. I'm coming Radament!


Another Naj circlet right next to lvl 3 entrance

After cleaning all of lvl 3, I finally found Radament. Taking care of his minions was quite easy. Traps are still dealing good damage and Death Sentry took care of the rest. Whenever there was noly 1-2 left, I aimed on Radament with Mind Blast and traps.


And he is down! 1 step closer to Arcane Sanctuary! And I'll gladly take the extra skill


Rockfleece in Rocky waste. I am quite lucky so far, I haven't found much lightning immunes on my way so far in act 2.
