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
    Finally, you can reach me on discord if that's your jam! / discord

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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 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.

    @flamerollerx01 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

    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.

    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
