Can You Beat Diablo 2 with ONLY the Mercenary?

- Diablo 2 challenges usually involve random restrictions, primarily a slew of them applied to the player. So, I figured why not take that concept as far as I could go; could you beat Diablo 2 by only relying on the Mercenary? A run in which you never attack once? All in all, it seems pretty fair to me. This isn't a charity, really make him earn that paycheck.
Thanks for watching! This is part one of this challenge run, and we'll be back as soon as Larry goes shopping at the Gap for his Mercenary. I hope you enjoyed, and if you did, I'd sincerely appreciate if you Liked, Shared, Commented, or Subscribed!
As always, I want to extend a gracious thanks to my Patrons, you all greatly improve my day! Thank you! / seergames

Whoever came up with "Mephisted in the ass" is a fucking genius
That would be Seer's Brain, he's a real twisted sicko
Comedic genius

Same, which is like... who the fuck actually says "Jonathan" for a random name? Actually weirded me out.
Few tips:
Decrepify against bosses is king because it reduces the amount of nasty spellcasts significantly.
Dim Vision disables everything except basic attacks on affected monsters. No Lighting from Souls, no arrows from archers, no resurrecting from resurrecting fucks.
Attract is literally the best curse you can imagine for crowd-control. You curse one mob, which gets a higher threat level than you or your mercenary. A monster that is in direct contact with you or the merc will literally turn around to hit the cursed mob, if it's right next to it. It can't be overwritten which is awesome as it allows you to curse the rest with whatever you want. Instead of all the enemies bearing down on you they fight among themselves, making it much easier to deal with groups. There will be one downside for you. It does actually attract more enemies to the fight that would be out of range normally. It works great if you intend to blow everything up with corpse explosion. Not quite sure how it might work out for you.
Yeah he reallllllly missed the boat on those lol
Merc was always one of the coolest things to me in Diablo 2 - that and how the necro skele minions look progressively more 'n' more badass with levels. Good luck in Nightmare... looks like you'll need it.
this ort rune bit might be your second best after the all-time classic me clever me write good
Why play the game when the game can play itself?
That's why I play necromancer. I'm also the weird kid that would watch cpu vs cpu matches/fights

loved the random dkc2 seal noise.
"what runes did you get for your merc?"
"ORT ORT ORT!"
Man the fact that you use the og graphic makes me nostalgic. Me and my friends use to challenge ourself on "only this spell " runs. All good until immunes 😂 a good learning tool
" Larry can't even pay a woman to be near him " you destroyed me with that one 😂
Perfect timing, just packing the kief bowl to be blessed by Seer
I'm impressed you didn't just IM normal. It's pretty easy to get through the bosses when you use IM.
Don't forget the to hit ratio is the same on mercs. Your boy needs a few levels so he doesn't get worked too hard.
And yes I fall asleep constantly...
I think in this predicament the most efficient way to farm gold would be Lower Kurast superchests on p8
"Kill the devil's brother so he doesn't press charges" lmao that killed me.
Good stuff my dude, can't ever get enough of your content. Getting ready to do some crazy D2 runs myself
>Threads of Cthon gives "meh" to everything
Great quote, I'll remember it
My initial prediction is that only CHAD Emilio can do it, the others aren't up to snuff.
Emilio is still THE chad of mercenaries imo but since the rest of them got buffed in D2R I've been impressed by even the iron wolves. Ok impressed might be a strong word...
Long live Emilio, aka stabby mcpokey
Loved it! Absolute legend!
DUDE LOVE IT! You are so funny. PLease bring a part 2 and 3 (oh hell in part 3 is going to be EPIC!)
Love your stuff!
Dude, you're like, soooo underrated it's crazy. This is like one of the very few youtube channels where I'm consistently looking for futur uploads. Keep up the amazing work cause you're currently the highlight of my taco tuesday (besides the taco)
This is merc abuse. Waheed needs to join a union.
He's already in one. The abuse is in his contract.
The game play is really painfull, but the comentary made my day.😂
Thank you for this video!
Cheers!
Love your humor and your videos!
Love this. Can't wait for the next part.
Awesome video. Can't wait for part 2. I have a hard time with hell WITHOUT limiting myself with only merc :P
Just what I needed on this Saturday, thanks, Seer.
I'm glad! Thanks for watching 💪
i watch a LOT of d2 videos. this is by far the funniest one ive seen. GJ man. keep it up plz
You are one of the best. I actually wait each week for a video.
I love your style dude. keep it rocking.
The algorithm brought me here. You deserve so many more subs, my friend! Keep up the great work.
I indeed want to see part 2 of this
Please keep going
Bro this content is literal perfection to me
"These classes are 'A' for 'ass'". Lmaoooooo
This is a very fun idea for a video, and the commentary is hilarious. Although this is a good example of why everyone who likes diablo should play project diablo 2. The merc ai is radically improved, they can wear boots belt and gloves, and all five acts' mercs are a valid choice! Great vid
If you gona use an a2 mercenary, make sure to try and give him gear that increased his attack speed and resistances. Also life steal is a must, so you can use a different curse other than life tap. I would play around trying to craft savage polearms (one diamond, one belt, one kris and a staff in the horadric cube). Cannot wait for part 2! This video was really entertaining!!
I already know this will be a good day
Damn that must've been a lot of work. I would lose my mind.
man delivers another video for me at work what a lad
Great video! I'm not sure if anyone else has said it, but I think a teleport staff would be a nice safety
I once played a self found melee sorc and she got carried by the Merc entirely right from hell act1.
With some ethereal blue scythe with 180ed and tals face.
That's all the mighter needs, crazy.
my favorite channel on youtube
your mind is wild my dude.
1. Chipper skull into socket shield helps so much before first merc. (And actually carries all normal diff. if you want it to)
2. Theres a cube recipe for polearms. Any diamond + kris + staff + belt = 66%-80% magic polearm. This recipe carries hard cause it can get a second magic stat (like flat bonus damage) and also come as nm or hell version of that weapon.
11/10 humor never disappoints, had a blast watching this
Yay Seer video!!!
2:27 Leap is also pretty strong
"ort ort ort" won my subscription, thanks for the content!
Looking forward to part 2! Andariel really is a merc slayer.
I need to leave a second comment. The one-liners in this video! Jeeeeezis Christ! I'm crying!
Very good vid
@13:53 Hey Jonathan stuff is really creepy dude. I was falling asleep right at that moment in the video and my name is Jonathan. I know its random but dude WTF. How bro how..
and then the hypocrisy talking about your predictablitly skills. Dude 4-20 huh
@@jopied_ DUDE........ I AM GLAD I WASNT THE ONLY ONE...
Here he is, like I said, falling asleep right in the arcane sanctuary, smh 😒
@@seer6251 I'm lost for words. Anyway grood video, great inpirational content! 8=D
9:51 I have to clarify Andariel is the Lord of Anguish and is the twin sister of Duriel the Lord of Pain aka Andariel is mental suffering and Duriel is physical. Andarield would delight in the PTSD afterwards the CBT would ultimately be Duriel's domain.
amazing!
i recken barb is the best for this type of run. taunt acutely deals with a lot of problems in the game the merc struggles with. it stops ressurecting mobs from acutely ressurecting there allys since they focus on attacking, reduces the amount of casts casters do to try to attack. and as you said lets you be a meat shield.
also i am pretty sure battle command does work on the skills with the merc so it will increase there damage output.
I love you Seer!! 💕
Great idea for a challenge
Thank you! I'm having fun doing this challenge because it keeps getting exponentially more terrible as I go on lol
The commentary, oh my god the commentary, laughed through the whole video XD
I just made a paladin called Low rune Larry the other day. Love the name.
Insane challenge
It gives me validation knowing I'm not the only one who names the necro Larry. He just looks like a Larry.
I have no idea why are you doing this to yourself but I'm greatly entertained
Tbh. In all my diablo playthrough the mercenary from act 2 is the real hero and I'm always his support :D
The answer before watching it is yes. Especially as a Paladin with Holy Bolt. Assassin has Cloak of Shadows which breaks the game.
I love you buddy. Keep it up
On necro you have a great option to use bone walls with A1 or A3 merc, to keep them in safety
Love the video man but if you’re really trying to corner the d2 nerds you need to provide ample gear updates for you and the Merc!
I was thinking about it while watching you face Mephisto, the Amazon and her passives (Dodge for melee and Avoid for ranged, Evade for dodging while moving) might have been useful for face tanking bosses, not to mention using Inner Sight to lower their defense.
The Decoy skill doesn't do damage, and if so, that could be another potential damage sponge for the merc, combine that with the Avoid and Dodge passives and that is two meat shields that bosses will have to chew through to get to the hero of Sanctuary, the merc (unless the boss just decides to toast the merc anyway lol).
The only worry is not being able to break physical immunities like the Necromancer on the higher difficulties.
Subscribed.
I would have never thought it could be done in normal difficulty. I would have never thought to do it, either. It was hilarious to watch though.
I think the barb could be a better choice. You can still "curse" enemies with shouts and use grim ward to break groups of enemies AND item find.
Gotta get a might merc and keep his gear up to date. Avoid life regen, as that doesn't work on mercenaries and favor high damage slow weapons. Most of the mercs damage comes from jab anyway and that makes three attacks at a fast speed, so boosting those as high as possible work very well until hell difficulty. Faster hit recovery is huge for mercs as well and lots of hp works out better for them than defence. Procs on striking also work well with act 3 mercs.
the freestyle scat death montage
i'm ready, take me
just came here to say ''yes, it has been done thousands of times already''
wow. the Balls man
Hey Seer, Seeing how you're still using a Razortine which do 13-22 dmg, you could use the Horadric recipe: Diamond+kris+staff+belt to make a Savage polearm and get even a Exceptional polearm with Lifeleech and massive( subjective) enhanced damage and have a easier time.
Kudos, and hope you keep Neeraj
Lazy Larry looks a lot like me. He’s just missing the beer gut.
Oh so satisfying to take the likes to an even 1000. 😊
Another great video!
Could you beat Seer using only Seer? Possibly, if Seer was freer, with less fear, riding a deer. Don't let him look in the mirror (he's a peer).
Hail to you Champion
So my name is Johnny but some people misname me Jonathan for fun and let me tell you 13:56 actually woke me up as I was dozing off. Uncanny when it actually works.
Telestaff would have helped here monumentally! I hope you use for nightmare attempt 2!
razortine is amazing for bosses btw. it slows them to a stop basically.
Pure gold
good job, desert merc
The fact you got thru normal difficulty is a win imo
This is great. I’m seeing a LOT of lower kurast in your future
Made my own necro LazeyLarry since i got so much fun from watching this: Made myself the following rules: Offline, once you have cain: no more using scrolls of identify, steal money from the shared stash but put it back later, have other champions shop for you and use that gear (since Larry is lazy he uses the hard owned work of others), on normal only use the act1 rogue, once in nightmare: Larry is allowed to buy the act 2 merc, once in hell, he is allowed once more to get a new merc of his choice. (only one time swap in nightmare and or hell). No summons except if they auto spawn from runeword/set/unique items when you are struck, aura from runewords is allowed, pick up EVERY coin that is on the ground or that falls from monsters/chests but only with the auto pickup (Larry is too lazy to pick it up by himself). Also if Larry is too lazy and forgets to repair an item in time, once the item is broken (red) it has to be discarted on the floor. Thx for the vid, it's great fun to watch and to play it myself. Edit:forgot to say: using shields with skulls and the charged bolt, frost nova or nova proccing items are a must have in this setup at the lower levels
"ort ort ort" true words of wisdom
cloak of shadows on assassin would be awesome, blinds all monsters and lowers defense
Surely barb leap spam would be the best, if you allow non damage moves, that move can stun the whole screen for ever and i believe it also works on superuniques, I made one for Hardcore when Resurrected first came out, it was boring, but it was amazing being unable to die, because of your crazy cc and thick barb body.
Enigma is an option in a run with mercenary only lmao i would love to see the farming sessions and humanity slowly leaving your carcass
I believe you pick paladin for this, use a wand for lifetap charges as needed and use a telestaff to reposition ur merc as needed. In general Pally is a lot tankier and has thorns which suck but aren’t completely useless?
This one time I played an Iron Golem Necro without a mercenary. I invested big into Dim vision, Golem Mastery and CE. Character became not viable in act3 nightmare. The jungles were okay, but in the city of Kurast I could not out damage monster regeneration. Honestly, if I had hired a mercenary, that would have been a godly build.
Yes you definitely can and it has been done before. It all depends how good gear your merc has if you run out of money early or late.
Dads back!
Amp Lisa? Bro, LISA-AMP! :D
being named jonathan and spacing out at night i got a fuckiing spook mate ngl
I had no idea mercs had an inventory thank you
