Hey,
      I dont post much here but I do check often, specially this thread. Keep it up. Below is an email I received from Blizz when I asked about the SoH.

Hello,

While we cannot reveal the purpose or function of the Standard of
Heroes in the Diablo II game, we can say that it is enigmatic, working
correctly, and has more than exceeded our expectations. Also, Blizzard
employees can neither confirm nor deny any rumors regarding this drop.

For further information, please read the Diablo II Frequently Asked
Questions page: ("http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/faq")


Sincerely,
Nathan B.

All the more to suspect that there is something with this item?


Alright. If this is a real e-mail from blizzard, it is saying the SoH is already working. How could it already be working if no one has found out how to work it yet? See, I think that SoH is to add a new curious and "enigmatic" part to Diablo 2 since it is getting quite boring. Maybe they wanted to make a stir with the people to get them more interested. It doesn't make all that much sense to me, but maybe they know something i dont. But, I am not saying at all that it has no other use. I need to go look for myself, but i remember there being camps where Fallen Shamans were and a bunch of little fallens are (like where Bishibosh is). There are the SoH-looking things sticking out of the ground there. I have also noticed that items flip around when you drop them. Maybe you have to try to get it to flip just right so it sticks in a slot. I don't know. But it is crazy that blizzard would give us no direct direction or even a few more hints. There are still a LOT of possibilities. I don't have enough time, personallly, to do many things in game, so if anyone wants to check this they can. I have no guarantees.

Another thing. I have found "Cain's Corner" at the battle.net official site for Diablo 2 ( http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/cc.shtml ) and i have not found anything that i could prove useful, but maybe you can see something I cannot. Some things that I thought were interesting I will quote in here.

"Mephisto's Lair
Adventurers fighting in the Durance of Hate may have spotted strange, ghost-like creatures. These "Evil Forces" guard Mephisto and the Infernal gate to the Pandemonium Fortress. Evil Forces can attack and kill those who dare to stick around after Mephisto's demise. The most skilled and tenacious warriors might be able to kill an Evil Force, however, they will discover that the reward is not worth the effort. Some speculate that Evil Forces have some other purpose such as to reveal the way to a hidden world however they are simply a mindless pawn of Mephisto like many of the people of Kurast." They might reveal the way to a hidden world?

"Just as the Lord of all Terror brings life to nightmares, so too can he imbue inanimate objects with his vile presence. Culled from the desecrated churches, Stained Glass Windows can sometimes be found on the Mesas in Hell. These panes of colored glass are not what they appear, however -- they are actually alive! Don't worry, adventurer, they lack both mobility and knowledge of the arcane arts and so, they cannot attack you. Perhaps, they too are used to alert the demons of the underworld of unwanted visitors..."
Along with this there is a picture of a stained glass window breaking. At the end it says they may be used to "alert the demons of the underworld." maybe that is a clue?

"The agents of evil are everywhere in these dark days and, whether you have been aware of it or not, you are being watched! Between the River of Flame and the Archangel Hadriel stands a row of statues, guarding the way to The Chaos Sanctuary. As you pass each statue, take notice as they turn their head and follow you with their icy stares. What purpose could they serve? Perhaps they are the eyes of Diablo himself!" Maybe you have to prove something to Diablo, like you have killed his uber-self or something... still, i dont know if these will do anything, i just thought it was interesting that i have never found "Cain's Corner" on the Arreat Summit (Diablo 2 website, not where the Ancient Ones are) Or, perhaps it has something to do with the corners of the arreat summit? Who knows? Blizzard has been so broad with this riddle. It's along the lines of frustrating, and it seems to me very improbable that we can find the answer on so little clues. That is, of course, thinking that this is a riddle and not just something that blizzard put in.

Bad news... sad.gif

I spent 4 hours for killing...
In ONE GAME I killed all super unique bosses, bosses...
Spent hours for searching those prickshits like Icehawk Riftwing, Ancient Kaa the Soulless, Pitspawn Fouldog, Frozenstein, Dac Farren, Eyeback the Unleashed, Sharptooth Slayer, Snapchip Shatter, hardly zerking in Chaos Sanctuary... I killed everything, EVERYTHING what could be call boss (Andy, Duriel, Meph, Dia, Baal), mini-boss (Countess, Griswold, The Smith, Summoner, all council members, Izu, Hephasto, Nihlathak, Shenk, Ancients etc...), pseudo-boss - A_L_L super unique bosses which u can find at Arreat Summit...

ALL that in one game and holding SoH in inventory all the time.


Nothing... I expected that... mellow.gif


After all I tried sum strange things like visiting Den of Evil once again, trying to do something on Arreat Summit//Hellforge, trying to talk to Tyrael engel.gif (strange? he said nothing), Hadriel engel.gif (just like Tyrael), leaving one SoH in Den and second at Throne//Worldstone Chamber//Chaos Sanctuary...


I got only few ideas left...

1st - maybe one SoH must be left at every (dead) super unique
2nd - maybe SoH is that famous Relic wich has Baal stolen to bypass the Ancients when entering Worldstone Keep (I tried to talk to sum1 in Harrogath, try to leave it to Ancients but much possibilities yet of course)


I am sorry that you spent so much time checking those hypothesises (what is the plural of hypothesis?) But the Relic that Baal has that allows him to bypass the Ancients is his own soulstone (I dont know how that gets him past, but it does) You know this because Baal disguises himself as Tyrael and Marius (the guy that took the soulstone of Tal Rasha, therfore releasing baal into the world, and he was supposed to go through the Infernal Gate but didn't, so he couldnt reach hell, and therefore couldnt destroy the soulstone.) gives the soulstone to who he thinks is Tyrael who will make it all better, but it is actually Baal. (If you don't believe me on any part of this, watch the cinematics again) But, I dont want to take attention away from the Arreat Summit, or draw attention to it. I still have no idea that sticks out in my mind of what a possible use for the SoH would be, or how to activate, or use, or do something with it.

I believe it is working. Look @ what it has done to us. We have a 24 page thread about that one, single item. Its been out for how long now? How many people have experiemented with it? How much proof do we have it does anything?

Seems to me, its just to keep us busy. Think about it. Take a step back, and look at the broad and obvious facts here people.

Just my opinion.
