I did it yesterday, was painful to setup. But then I full cleared all TZs on p8 and got mang song, windforce, tomb reaver, arachnid, arkaine valor. So felt like it worked. But still no latent sunder!

Curious.. with Demon and Merc this would be hard to do. If we had an Alt or a different Char set this up.. if the MF is applied to the entire game, or just the one activating

Google says just the one activating.. might need to make a build focusing on this someday. Maybe a Hammerdin or something for TZ A1-5 farming

I'm gonna think about making a Hammerdin... oh wait

So far it didnt seem too hard. With 75 LR no absorb I only had to use 3 or 4 full rejuvs. The only hard thing is to be lucky enough to spawn Souls and not have to go every area that may have some and in the end there arent.

Kill everything around
Get more or less in the middle of the four souls.
Wait.
Let the magic happen

Maybe I am overly patient compared to most

Idk that I’ve never not seen them in plains of despair

Your Merc and Demon don’t shred them?

You havent been to Plains of Despair enough then.

I dont play gheylock

The question I ask myself is if everybody in game gets the bonus or only the one doing the ritual.

Anybody got info on that?

google gemini does, can't be 100% on reliability

Kek, Google Gemini just guesses on such specialized questions

Here are the steps to getting it every time on a warlock:

Kill your merc
Consume all your demons.

Find souls: Plains of dispair first (best place), Great marsh (Not so optimal), Worldstone keep (sometimes, but souls are really strong here)

Bring: Lightning resist at least 60% with a Tgods or/and Wisp equiped.

Isolate 4 souls within 2 screens, at plains of dispair that means even the posts with guys tied to them, kill those as well. once only 4 souls are left make sure you are in a open field, no obstructions, no rivers, no giant structures, which can cause them to desync. (if they desync you can restart the ritual by opening a town portal, going back into town, and returning 20 secs later, they will attack you but eventually go back into formation and dance) they will dance. this process is taking me about 5-10 minutes to setup properly.

Once they danced. go get your demon again, revive the merc and start farming. I would highly advise having stones for act 1, 2 and 5, but all acts are optimal, takes 3-4 of us around 3 hours to go thru all accts on players 8.

Happy hunting.
