Grinding on my grail gets pretty boring sometimes so i decided to try out a naked run while i wait for good TZs.
Simple rules - single player (cuz id love to use my grail self found gear after im done with the challenge) no reruns (i wont be using gear anyway so why rerun right?)
Gear on merc - yes, why not? Poor merc doesnt have to suffer like me.

The wheel of RNG chose the druid for the challenge!
So named him Savage cuz the guy doesnt know what clothes are and he is not using any.




Lets do this



Eating those uppercuts



Den is done. Raven and Poison creeper are the 1 point wonders at this stage of the run.



Gotta get that merc



Bowling with Griswold :rofl:

Decided to go the Fissure route maybe until hell or until act 3-4 nightmare? Will see how it goes



Act 1 done. Easy money.



Very important quest = +1 skill and cheaper potions!



Got cube



Got staff, bowling was pretty fun down in the maggot lair



Got amulet. At this point i started pumping points into fire storm and fissure - those gonna be the main skills. And ofc ill get the bear to tank

Good luck. Someone did a naked hammerdin run and he made it to Hell Act 2 I think. Died at Duriel iirc. That was a while ago. I’m curious how you’ll beat Duriel without bear. Gonna pop a lot of thawing potions?

Fissure will carry a naked Druid until at least nm a4. Shockwave/summon should work well after that cause it supports merc well, which can use gear. Still going to be a tougher one though even if he does go that route ^^ GL

Pretty much used my wolf to distract duriel and blasted fissure, here video.

Fissure is pretty good especially if you can make the monsters walk over it (feels like blizzard aoe/dmg) so yeah i think it will carry me to middle of nightmare but i think imma go tornado from there cuz i want to have cold dmg from hurricane and i really will need the cyclone armor protection in hell
