Grabbed the Heart. Normal is boring, but at least I can progress quickly because my traps are strong.



First lightning immune of the walk

Assembling the parts.



Meph time!



Moat trick with Lightning Sentry is too easy. Merc even managed to stay alive, what a beast.

Izzy took quite a while, had to go to town twice for mana potions.



I finally have enough mana (and access to greater mana potions) to start kicking things here and there, so I gambled some Greaves.



Poopy forge.

First seal down. LS is ripping things apart right now, kicks aren't doing much.



Second seal.



For these guys I had to just lay traps down and run around in circles, they are too fast to do anything else.

Diablo was not bad at all, just cast traps at his feet and then run away for a bit. His fire ring spell still hurt a lot because I have zero fire resist right now



Really nice shield upgrade from Diablo!



He also dropped this very cute amulet! Thanks bud!!!

Shenk dead, I will hang out and farm Eldritch for a few levels and hopefully some upgrades.



First Shael, I will make a Rhyme soon.



Crushflange!

Nice weapon for me. The slower attack speed is a little bit annoying, but the crushing blow and fire resist are both nice to have.



This will end up being important later holding on switch for now.



Lightning Sentry maxed out, time to start pumping synergies.

Saved the Barbs.



Melted Anya.



Finally made my Rhyme, CBF =

Nihlathak was no problem.



First exceptional boots! I only have 1 point in Dragon Talon right now so my boot damage doesn't really matter, but it's still nice to see.



Also found this cute polearm for my merc.

Ancients were extremely easy. The first two went down in about 10 seconds.



On to Baal. Wave #1 got shredded super fast.



Wave #2 super fast as well.
