I’m wondering what gear my HAMMERDIN should use to fight Black Souls in World Stone Keep and Vipers in the Halls of the dead with No chance of death? Please Share some of your building strategies with me to slay all minions possible in World Stone Keep including Stygian’s, and Vipers in Halls of the dead. Thanks. I was thinking TGODS with a 20 LS WISP should handle the Souls well. And I’m considering 100% Poison length reduction and stacked Posion Res with Max DR for the Vipers. How much res over 75 do I have to have to make a significant difference in poison resistance? Share some of your ideas about your experiences with Vipers in Hall of the Dead and Soul in World Stone Keep along with Stygian’s and how you Survive while easily slaying them with no risk of dying.

Level up Resist Lightning to have max lighting resistance.

if u r in a viper psn cloud - just tele away and dont move!

the most dmg comes from physical, to reduce them get damage reduced by X, like Sol rune
- psn dmg isnt the problem here

but u will need a lot, best strategie with hammerdin - avoid them damn snakes

or make a special d-key farming build


some years ago i did it with sorc, geared with something like:

The Gladiator's Bane (sol)
Gerke's Sanctuary (sol)
Nature's Peace/Dwarf Star
The Rising Sun

Just Tgods is fine, as long as you've got enough res to still hit the higher cap Souls will just tickle you, unless you get super unlucky with a Conviction pack.

Vipers, as others have shared it's their physical damage that's bugged, and actually it's only the Tomb Viper variant (found in Nihlathak's halls on NM and hell) that are bugged. Best thing to do is not move through their clouds, stand still or tele out, and remember they persist for a few seconds after the visible cloud dissipates.

As for dolls, just stand clear and let merc take care of them, he doesn't take any damage from their explosions Flashing Sanctuary aura can help put some extra distance between them and you.
