We used to do this barbarian ironman challenge back in 1.09 classic. No running back or creating new games, you only got each zone once. Started out with slow meticulous clears to maximize loot until people started finding strats and optimizations. Miss that little group of players. Probably could've been fun to watch and make speedruns of if we had the ability to record gameplay the way we do today.
To be fair though - this is a superfast RNG, in which the Sorceress finds a good route and a valuable scepter to turn into mana pots. Sometimes clearing Den Of Evil takes a few minutes, other times 20 minutes.
what the hell?!?! a few years back when I heard about theoretical cheated speedrun for sorc at around 40mins I thought it was crazy but what did I just saw?! Maaan you are hella crazy and congratulations to you, youre a beast
The 40 minutes in that theoretical run was the total time including the loading screens. And it assumed sub-optimal leveling as level 18 was obtained by farming Beetleburst, meaning that all the catacombs and the desert were walked on foot.
Awesome! :) Well done. Granted, it's pretty funny to keep hearing: *VROING* "Not enough mana." *VROING* "I need mana." *VROING* "Not enough mana." *VROING* "I need mana." *VROING* "Not enough mana." *VROING* "I need mana." *VROING* "Not enough mana." *VROING* "I need mana." LMAO! :D
Deckard Cain: The forces of Hell are flooding reality in an unending tide. Death and destruction now line ever inch of the world! It will take only the greatest of warriors of strongest will and unyielding conviction to dare oppose this evil!!! Sorceress: 😑
Nice run. I remember staying up late when I was kid so that I could take part of early ladder after reset. And I was always wondering how some people already show up level 70ish when I was just starting to search for tomb runs. I guess this video answers this question. Just buy mana and tele and skip everything and use static on every boss. Now put 8 such players in 1 team and no wonder they are doing hell baal runs while normies are still doing tomb runs.
finally you uploaded this. i watched it hours after live stream. that could be the best act1. but you don't have the +1 lightning amulet as Bender's 36'32 does, or 327's stealth, so not the best act 4-5. can't really imagine what a sub 35 would require for gear
I did not touch this game for like 15 or even 20 years, so I might be wrong, but the graphic looks better, than it used to. Or am I imagining things? Also, the last time when I watched speed runs of diablo 2 everybody was farming certain runes in act 1, don't remember which ones though, it was a long time ago... Anyway, it was an interesting watch.
Hello @kano did you consider to run directly to jail lvl 1 (check setup), and then make quickly den with frost nova? Seems faster and definitely faster to restart if jail 1 fails
It could be worth considering, but the actual fastest strategy in the end will probably be a Den skip entirely that relies on an extra layer of early game RNG (good early gold start, skill shrines, etc.)
i'd be cool if you'd explain why you're doing what you're doing. like why are you switching to old graphics in the vendor menus and during the boss waves before baal?
For potion buying, the "yes" will unalign if you move your cursor one pixel - so it's just for convenience and for wave skips I use classic graphics because those are the line ups I'm used to
Let me check. P8 until lvl 18 and then P1 all the way? Maybe when you respec into Nova you shave off some life for a deeper mana pool? Sometimes you seem to pound on Nova when you could static some more before the actual kill. Is an FCR wand necessary? I mean, is an Act 2 wand with a bonus to mana/energy better?
My dude … the Internet is Full of guides. Just do your researche here on UA-cam. There are plenty step by step Videos. Good luck and may the drope good with you \o/
You can drink the rejuv wells twice. You only seem to drink them once. Do it both times to get that mana back up and tele away!! Edit: I have since seen you hit it twice :)
Sometimes I don't drink twice because I don't want the regen from the potion to disappear, it does when you hit full mana, but it's situational - if I was at basically 0 mana and then I find the well on my last tele to see it, I'd drink twice
In D2R you can toggle between Resurrected and Legacy graphics and I swap because the "yes" will unalign if you move your cursor more than one pixel in the new graphics. Not faster, just for convenience
Wow, I didn't even know you could skip so many things. One of the things I don't understand is if you don't free Deckard Cain, how come he's in Chapter 3?
@@Bacjuszx It's very bad on such low level: Until lvl 22 merc has a Level 5 Prayer aura, that means +3 life per second, not useless but well... A single Greater Potion heals for 7.68 seconds, and it gives to Sorceress (180 life) ~23 life per second and for the Merc (270 life) ~35 life p/second. Because of this low value of prayer, the Defiance aura would prob doe more, for example against a Doom Knight (Act4 Chaos Sanctuary) your merc with the +5 defiance aura would be 20% less likely to be hit ( From 85% to 65% ). The +5 Blessed Aim is a solid +135% AR, that helps the merc a bit to hit mobs above his level, mostly all stuff on the speedrun. In the end of the day, some people will call for the phrase: "The best defense is a good offense".
fair, I think the defense aura might have more use in a speedrun situation. As far as I recall, I may misremember, it was mostly to tank duriel and mephisto to cast static safely. Maybe than 1/2 extra dodge due to increase defense would be preferable to him hitting for little to no dmg@@euklesio
Never saved Cain, it's not a requirement - Also it's a Baal wave skip (I'll have a video on this at some point) but it takes some very specific timing around keeping him in and out of load range
You can toggle between Resurrected and Legacy graphics in D2R and I swap because the "yes" will unalign if you move your cursor more than one pixel in the new graphics (still possible, just inconvenient)
@jprs433 it's part of Resurrected, but it's just for shopping convenience when it comes to buying potions, the "yes" will unalign itself if you move your cursor more than one pixel

Holy hell, that was impressive to say the least!
Absolutely wild. Road to sub 35 getting shorter everyday.
Cool strats. I admire!
Отличная работа, молодец. Well done👍
Why legacy mode for Akara at the start? Is there a bug that makes items cheaper to buy?

Do they use fixed map seeds for d2 speed runs? Seems like map rng would be a massive factor?
It's random seeds and yeah map RNG can make a pretty big difference but there is a skill to reading maps too

Maybe when you respec into Nova you shave off some life for a deeper mana pool? Sometimes you seem to pound on Nova when you could static some more before the actual kill.

In D2R you can toggle between Resurrected and Legacy graphics and I swap because the "yes" will unalign if you move your cursor more than one pixel in the new graphics. Not faster, just for convenience
When was this new tech found for Baal where you stand at the entrance and he never summons?
I think sometime around 2020 or something? It was just a bit before D2R release
Why do you change the game's graphics to the old one when trading with Akara?
more faster than new
38 min is what i need on hero selection😅
then if i did this log in and out so frequently the serve just went down.. are u running on single machine?
This is singleplayer/offline and Diablo II: Resurrected, but yes I'm on a single machine
