correct me if im wrong but iirc the drop rates on act bosses are maxed at p3
so you could save yourselfe some time by just killing her on p3 instead of p8


I thought Mephisto's drops cap was p5 but just like you I'm really not sure
Maybe it differs depending on the boss

I'll do some research about this

Ok so P5 is indeed the max players count for nodrop on bosses, but the difference between P3 and P5 is so little you could argue that efficiency of killing speed on P3 might beat P5. If your clear speed is the same on P3 or P5, then P5 will be slightly better for NoDrop.
P7 is useless and makes no difference whatsoever with P5 - when speaking bosses drops only ofc.

You can do P8 so P5 might be the best option, up for you to decide .

The game doesn’t know or care if you’re manipulating the clock.

Just rng.

Thought the dupe was fixed with rotw? Lmk if you found a new method


Yes the offline dupe was fixed.

Idk about llama but yes, any offline/single player platform can do this. It’s easiest on pc and ps5, but still not really that hard on xbox. I assume switch can do it too.
