goodness what a slog! Congrats on making it happen and letting us tag along! Really enjoyed the whole thing! And like someone else said - you stayed true to the challenge and didn't let an OP merc do the heavy lifting.
Dang you did AMAZING your really an entertaining commentaries! I was like how did i miss your videos/channel, looked at your history and was shockes this is your first video. Also absolutely loved the teeth chattering end GGs man well gained!
Nice video man, I really liked the IRL footage at the end :) Grats for completing the challenge, it must have been insane! I have a full summon druid and even that can be tedious sometimes, with wolves, bear and merc...
This was truly excruciating to watch thank you for doing it. Yeah ravens are viable, albeit you're supposed to have the whole zoo out. With enough +skills and fully synergised your ravens will end up doing thousands of damage per peck, and your wolves and bear are no slouches either. But fair enough you're doing a challenge run for the content. Really nice to see those real life corvids at the end. Very poetic as you say.
As a diablo 2 n00b I would enjoy watching this exact style of video (not rushing, focused on details, stretched out, detailed) but with one of the better builds. And if it could be made challenging somehow that would also be great!
In areas where bear walk a murderous flock of black birds follow. Fun run. I used to always rush the low levels through having them hide for the Diablos kill. 👍
Maybe I misunderstood, but the belts did show up at Gheeds unless you were looking for a specific type. They show up a few times in your fast forward, just below the amulets and rings in the top right.
I love these challenge runs. Been playing D2 since pre LoD expansion so meta builds are not very interesting for me. I find these to be entertaining though :)
Nice video and I particularly liked the end! Just so you know that your mic has some sort of intermittent crackle. No big deal but I thought you would want to know. Cheers
Yeah man, thought someone might mention this. When I connect headphones directly to the mic it buzzes (probably when i'm moving around), but have stopped plugging it in now so future videos it will be sorted. Thanks for holding out to the end despite it, appreciate it.
Not sure it might work but i think running out of the door while Andariel was chasing. Closing the door before she exits and leaving her inside with crows helps :) Figured this often tackled mercs in good ol' d2:lod so why not weaponize it? :D
I don’t think it takes away from raven only to melee your first level up. It really isn’t any different than killing with a poison shrine since that isn’t a raven
At 1:16:24, you said you needed stealth for the run/walk speed but changing it to a plate mail actually made you slower since heavy body armour has a higher speed penalty then the chain mail.
@@prophetezekiel Thanks for the info. The game looks interesting enough from what i managed to find about, so i will genuinely consider it. Now to hope that i : 1. can actually get my hands on it, and 2. get good enough at it to see it trough the end.
Music is a little loud in your mix and it’s kinda distracting, even though it’s arguably one of the best soundtracks ever created. Other than that fun video and challenge idea, pure raven with synergies is crazy, an idea I’ve had in the past but never had the time or mental instability to attempt it lol.
ALSO for the Druid summon tree ONLY soft points into synergies COUNT so that helm you got from Anya in normal would have applied the synergy bonus from dire and spirit wolf.
ALSO for your nightmare countess runs you got the spirit runes, grab a long, broad, or crystal sword from normal cows and cash in your larzuk quest for a spirit sword.
Underrated comment! The only barrier with a lot of these runs is the farming, mainly for exp, but this run (compared to my current) had really good unique finding. My latest run has had such poor luck this raven run seems really lucky!
I did some act 1 messing about afterwards with the full contingent of animals, and I swear the ravens are the damage dealers and everything else just tanks!
Love that game and the intro always stuck with me as a top tier classic. The cinematics are only bested by the guy who narrates the mission diary entries.
Challenge runs are so cool. Forget the meta builds these playthroughs are more entertaining.
Thanks dude. More incoming soon!
@prophetezekiel I'm glad you did it om softcore. Most of the meme builds challenge runs do hc and don't make it to the end.
@@prophetezekielВсего-то и надо - немного ускориться
На "хмуром" плотно сидит некромант.
Very cool run! Love to see that old Flamespike hasn't been forgotten either.

Thanks dude! I've learnt a lot since this run (mainly audio) so check out my newer vids, and let me know any builds you want me to try
Getting ready for bed after losing my 81 druid to hell ancients. Got greedy. Nice to find a new diablo youtuber. Keep em coming. (= theyre good.
Thanks mate, that means a lot.
Nice video man, I really liked the IRL footage at the end :) Grats for completing the challenge, it must have been insane! I have a full summon druid and even that can be tedious sometimes, with wolves, bear and merc...
Nice job mate, I respect how mucch you honored the challenge. I would have likely used a merc and shockwave to make it less frustrating
Your channel is underrated!
I thought you meant Hell difficulty and thought to myself, no effin way 😂. That was a great run, hilarious.
Bro you need more subscribers. Keep up the good work
Thank you brother! Early days :)

What a dedication. Very cool run!
Great video, keep up the good work :) !!
really enterntaining video, dude. I would never ever have the patience to do a challenge like this! NEVER EVER. And what cool ending
Thank you brother, means a lot. Glad you enjoyed

Good idea. I think I will do a relaxed guide to enjoying D2
@@prophetezekiel nice dude! Looking forward to it!

You assume I'm not a total moron however!
@@prophetezekiel I only know because I did it too during SSF before 😂
Good video, you got a subscriber
But this on as a going to bed background video. And those little windows alerts kept giving me jump scares lol good video/Challenge regardless.
Sorted in my new videos!
I know right. I was playing EU4 and listening, and kept wondering wtf was going on.
I love these challenge runs. Been playing D2 since pre LoD expansion so meta builds are not very interesting for me. I find these to be entertaining though :)
You earned this subscription
Killing Blood Raven with Ravens should been an achievement.
Big fan of druid.
Any curse that ravens don't over right ? I need to not have blind as I run thorns. My necro curses are gg.

Dude this is such good advice. Will remember for the future (maybe)
Hey I saw this on Reddit.
The animation in the opening, does someone knows where it comes from ?
Myth 2: Soulblighter. The cinematics are genuinely amazing, but play the game as they serve best as a mission completion reward!
@@prophetezekiel Thanks for the info. The game looks interesting enough from what i managed to find about, so i will genuinely consider it. Now to hope that i : 1. can actually get my hands on it, and 2. get good enough at it to see it trough the end.

Cool video. Found alot of the rare low level items, which probably says something about the amount of farming you had to do.
Underrated comment! The only barrier with a lot of these runs is the farming, mainly for exp, but this run (compared to my current) had really good unique finding. My latest run has had such poor luck this raven run seems really lucky!
Level 8 for Belts from Gheed.
Never beaten hell so it was entertaining and embarrassing to watch at the same time
god of raven
didnt know Raven damage could reach a thousand. so i thought the run was impossible.
I did some act 1 messing about afterwards with the full contingent of animals, and I swear the ravens are the damage dealers and everything else just tanks!
But why put stealth in an armor where you get a run/walk penalty lol
You know, I knew this once, but long since forgot. Crazy how many nuances there are to this game!
Respect
You should read the poem 'the raven' by edgar allan poe. Thought of it when i watched this video
I actually thought about doing a poem at the end! Will consider for future videos x
you should be able to wield a crowbill
MMMMMMMYYYYYYTTTTHHHHHHH
nice use of the myth 2 intro
Love that game and the intro always stuck with me as a top tier classic. The cinematics are only bested by the guy who narrates the mission diary entries.
This kind of torture is used in hell.
Actually, comparative to other runs, ravens was actually manageable. Decent damage for sure
@@prophetezekiel You are just adjusted to torture:)
ai your mic/recording software is having some issues my friend.
Sorted for other videos my dude, issue with using headphone slot in mic. Lesson learnt!
you are a mad man haha genius
47:52 Trump vs Harris 👍
Its not ravens only u used bear
And teleport! Tell me what you want to see and I will deliver my friend.
@@prophetezekiel No skills run! Don't actually do this
sub'd
You have lost it
I have just enough sanity left to record these videos. Expect no more and no less.
Insane challenge ❤
