Not having completed it yet doesn't make it impossible to complete.
Most people nowadays are insta-excitement wannabe's who can't make an effort for more than a few hours, when this quest requires a few good months.

Cool! Glad to see people actually know about ironman :D

Although those aren't standard rules you posted on the first page? It seems like you changed quite a few of them. Where did you get them from, or are they your own custom rules?

Admittedly, there is a quite bit of variance when it comes to iron man rules, but this is the first I've seen that lets you do the same area more than once. That makes it far easier, although that would be balanced by your restrictive skill selection

Standard ironman rules would essentially be playing HC, full clear of every area of the game, including all chests/urns etc. Not using tps (except portal shrines) or going to NPCs except for quest related stuff, you can only stop playing when you reach a wp. You can only use stuff you find, and any skills are allowed! The main challange from this style of playing is the fact that you can't re run areas for experience, you have to plod on no matter how hard it gets

Then there's the naked ironman, which is the same as above but without equipment or charms, but you can still use offensive skills etc. To prevent confusion and flaming I think you should have let people know this is your own version of ironman (correct me if I'm wrong) , not the standard!

whit gear its possible ofc.

but even with offensive skills it could be hard if naked. Tho i think a 8ppl team could complete then. Summonnecrox2,2xSumdruids, barb(boshout),enchanter,2x palas(1heal/resist aura) and one offensive aura.

also im 100% sure that with the rules on page 1 it wouldnt work.

Ofc it's possible with gear, as it is without gear

and yes it would be very hard

The rules on page one would work fine, although they are unnecessarily restrictive

y would work but not with the rule that u cant use offensive skills

how do u kill a boss in hell with fists(enchanted with maybe 1.5k dmg, prob less) and vs fire imunes u rely on a venom assa with lvl21 venom(with Bc)...

What? That's not an ironman rule. That's Synonym's own rule, or so I gather, for his own more challenging, and at at the same time less challenging (due to being able to rerun areas) version of ironman

Well, think of the amount of skills that can be used to help the team. It's meant to be difficult, that's the whole point. Conviction combined with lower resist could be used to break fire immunes, I think? Never tested.
