Oh my... just... How did I not notice that when I was playing OR editing the video? 😅 I went to check on the character, and it's from the Nagelring I found from Andariel. So I guess I technically failed the challenge then! Haha, good find.
@@zarfen That's okay, I think we can forgive a measly 3 points of occasional non-scaling damage. Equiping cool ring more important than being anal about rules!
Using that poison shrine to get the initial level was brilliant. I cant believe just how much exp you got there. A couple more kills and you would have leveled TWICE!
Awesome run, as someone who made a Poisonmancer the other draw besides poison nova is that the lower resist curse also reduces poison resist to deal with poison immune enemies.
Teleport charges to get through the poison immune wall was by far the most high iq move i've seen. I would have NEVER thought of that if I was doing the same challenge run.
Idk, seems pretty average IQ to me. Anyone who played sorc a lot (basically anyone at all, sorc is good for grinding gear for other characters) knows that teleport is busted and there are few ways to even get it to non-sorc characters as well.
@@darkhorsedre on any non-sorc character, I always shop a tele staff. Shop it at Ormus at level 23, it'll be red because you need to be level 24 to equip it.
The character growth and story telling while fighting Diablo was more compelling then anything we have seen from most recent Hollywood movies. Well done.
A bit of a different video this time. I really enjoyed making this, so please let me know if this is something you would like to see more of. I'll go back to grinding for loot in the next video though! Have a great day and may all your drops be jaw-dropping!
Very impressive, my friend. I would not have had the patience for that. Not sure why you didn't just reload after hitting a literal wall but, maybe shopping for a teleport staff was quicker? :)
I did this in single player, where the map doesn’t reset between games unless you change to another difficulty (which I couldn’t since I was in normal)
Crazy challenge i wouldnt have thought possible, i probably never would have thought of poison creeper, if i somehow did i never would have thought it could be that effective, and if by some miracle i did figure that out i never ever would have figured out the poison shrine for the first level. Super awesome accomplishment
FYI, you can town portal out of Diablo's bone prison. When you portal back, you do NOT get put back in the time-out pen. Found that one out on finding Uber diablo in place of the countess 😅
I really like that you made this video. You give a lot of base info a play with the existing game mechanic. You also show you don't have to go for the best lvl build to have fun and a challenge!
I’ve seen people do that when speedrunning. Didn’t think I needed extra since I had in inventory and cube, but I will for sure next time I do a challenge 😅
Regular items (which include potions) do disappear after 10 minutes, magic items after 20 minutes, rares and better after 30. Picking them up and dropping back resets the timer.
This was a very cool challenge, congratulations for completing it! Very clever way to level up at the beginning! If you ever decide to revisit this challenge in some way, here are a couple of ideas: - The tele staff you used to jump over the barricades in act 5.....the earliest you can get it is from Ormus on act 3, and you can use it to escape Diablo's bone prisons as well, instead of having to tank his attacks while inside the prisons. - With the amount of poison damage the Poison Creeper was dealing near the end of act 5, I don't think it is possible to kill Achmel with poison, even after breaking the immunity with a level 1 lower res wand (if breaking his immunity is even possible with such a wand). So, it was a good idea skip him. As for the Minions of Destruction, it might be possible to kill them after applying lower res to them, but I'm not sure and that may need testing, especially against Lister.
Zarfen, I love your accent, your vibe, dedication, and honesty. As a decades-long lover of D2, I feel your attunement to the loot slot machine keenly. It's a delight to still be learning about this game all these years later.
@@zarfen I found my first Jah in solo play the other day and it immediately sent me on a journey to get a Ber. Lower Kurast hasn't been generous yet, but I'll get there. Crazy how a drop can affect choices!
got an lvl 88 poison necro. was able to get a anni in ladder. it took me almost 4h to kill diablo, because of his regeneration and resistances. it only worked with a jade-tan-do and a golem and and slowing curse with frost damage. i completly broke the animations, and did not get any damage by diablo. but every repair at town was like a speedrun. luckly, he has no generation while poisioned. it was a pain in the butt.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Strangling Gas is Poison Damage.. you could avoid the poison shrine strat (but the shrine looks cooler hehe) do not throw them at the target but at the ground and i think you are fine with pure poison.
Cool thing about the creeper is that everytine you cast it, it instantly attacks whatever you aim at and leaves vines behind so you can just recast it for mass early game damage. I always use poison creeper through normal shirs op
the video length is about 18mins. I thought i would fast forward most content but i ended up watching every single second. It is a video of a man trying out the most frustrating skill on diablo. Well done bro!
You never would have killed Wave 5 honestly. They have 95 poison resist and health regeneration. unless you kept them clumped in a corner unable to move, they would heal whatever damage they took from the poison creeper between each hit. That's why you were able to do damage when they had you trapped up top. You would have needed lprobably 15-20 more levels before you could just face tank them to kill them. I'm kind of surprised you didn't use poison potions though. while not great damage, it would at least allow you to do damage between the poison creepers attack cool down.
Poison actually stops regeneration, you just need to make sure the mobs are constantly poisoned. Kiting them over the "brushes" that the creeper leaves on the floor and some throwing poison potions would help that.
A laugh is the best compliment I could ask for. Thanks for the comment! That pillar had me laughing too. I sat there and just watched for much longer than shown in the video.
@@zarfen Just to think that challenge up is massive credit to ya! If you do any more, I'll be sat ready with the popcorn🤣 Plus I love Diablo2! Thanks again
I am currently at the very beginning of the video; however, if you resummon the poison creeper it immediately can attack again--often right where it was summoned. You can use this to somewhat control where it attacks. So, I typically resummon the creeper after attacks so it can lays lots of vines down.
Yikes, I noticed the thorns damage right when you killed Baal. I don't think anyone is going to give you any trouble about that though bro. Great Video, I love tests like this.
I just finished watching an anime called Failure Frame where the main character levels up primarily using poison to kill things. Not sure why but this video just felt so satisfying to watch...
Well done. I get that in the end you just lost your patiens, but still.... you came soooo far. Just to leave this one mark 😂 (talking about the seconde luring)
8:49 - Oooh, oooh! I know this one! Many creatures in D2 have two states they can be in. One is the normal state with all the normal status effects and what not. But, the other, is partial invulnerability. Where they can't be hit by normal attacks or abilities. The first time players might see this is the birds in act 2 when they sort of fly up a bit. In a similar fashion, the druid creeper vines burrow and it's the same, exact effect just with different animations. The only way to hit creatures that are burrowed or, flying or, whatever is with universal damage... No idea what it's called but, avid D2 players will know what I'm talking about. Basically any spell that hits everything on screen within a certain radius. Not just regular aoe spells. But, like the Paladin's Holy Fire or the Sorc's Shock spell. Sorry if my explanation's a bit awkward. I don't know the literal programming of the game or anything like some people seem to. But, I've been playing D2 off and on for over 20 years so, I definitely picked up a thing or two. LoL :)
I figured shrine whould be the answer. Poison creeper got buffed in d2r. I don't know what toueant by hard to aim though you can just recast it to put it somewhere specific
Cool vid. Clever way to get started, but I thought: could you use strangling / choking gas potions to begin with? Perhaps I'm mistaken but I think they're pure poison damage? One has a min level requirement I think, or do they both? 🤔
Honestly impressed you soloed and shopped a teleport charge staff just to get past that wall. The follow-up usages were fair as well given your end goal. How much did you end up investing in synergy to creeper?
No joke, I literally was forced to kill Diablo with nothing but poison gas potions because my werebear druid was so trash that it couldn't last even a few seconds against him. So I was forced to trap Diablo against a corner, run out to pelt him with poison gas, and everytime my potion supply was low, I'd return to town to "repair" the potion to restore my stock...also, back then you can restore throwing potion stocks by repairing them.
I was planning to and honestly thought they would be a big part of the early strategy, but once I hit level 6 to use the first poison potion the creeper dealt so much damage that I didn’t feel it was worth bothering.
Poison damage is so bad in Hell because of lots of high resistances but it could probably be done. Note sure this would be the right poison character though. I don’t think I will do it anytime soon, but I’m taking nm/hell into consideration in future challenges and in my latest challenge I tackled all difficulties
You can play poison only with Necro to. Early poison shrine + Poison Potions (sell one, buy full stack) can help you get lvl 12. Then try to spawn all poison skeleton mages. Get easy lvl 30 and Even clear all difficulties with that build.
Hehe yeah that’s a cool strategy. I also had that idea after I already posted this video. Get to level 12 and then summon - unsummon - summon in a safe area until you have an army of only poison mages. Maybe I’ll redo this challenge in the future with s necro
I’m not sure. I didn’t know if people would like this kind of video so I don’t have another challenge planned yet. Maybe some restriction to what gear I can use.
A year late, but one of the lore pieces is something along the lines of Khalim, of flail fame, was the only priest able to withstand Mephisto's corruption. That is why using his organs to break the seal allows you to bypass a similar corruption coming from the orb. I... admittedly dont remember why its a flail, if there even is a reason.
If you want survivability without kiting - rings and amulet of Replenish life; Shapeshift into werewolf 1 point (no need to attack - go for Lycanthropy) and invest in Oak Sage. You get a large jump to life and you don't have to attack anything. Also, skulls in the armor.
Nice challenge to see, ehm hate to say it but what about the thorns damage 😅

That poison shrine boost to almost level 3 was oddly satisfying to watch.

That poison shrine idea for getting past level 1 was genius!!
Wouldn't poison gas throwable potion also work?
@@Miraihi they require level 6 unfortunately
How dare they limit posion potion to lvl 6!

ok thanks for the info @@zarfen
I was wondering the same, I forgot that you can't throw a poison potion before level 6!!!
Thoughts on tackling nightmare or hell difficulties?
Poison damage is so bad in Hell because of lots of high resistances but it could probably be done. Note sure this would be the right poison character though.
I don’t think I will do it anytime soon, but I’m taking nm/hell into consideration in future challenges and in my latest challenge I tackled all difficulties
You can play poison only with Necro to. Early poison shrine + Poison Potions (sell one, buy full stack) can help you get lvl 12. Then try to spawn all poison skeleton mages. Get easy lvl 30 and Even clear all difficulties with that build.
Hehe yeah that’s a cool strategy. I also had that idea after I already posted this video. Get to level 12 and then summon - unsummon - summon in a safe area until you have an army of only poison mages.
Maybe I’ll redo this challenge in the future with s necro
The best playthrough I've seen 💪✌️
Thanks! 🙏
Poison is definitely the hardest mathematical form of dmg in the game. People confuse more poison dmg as more dmg.
Good job! What is your next challenge?
I’m not sure. I didn’t know if people would like this kind of video so I don’t have another challenge planned yet. Maybe some restriction to what gear I can use.
