If your ever in need of tp and id scrolls, just farm hell duriel, its the most effecient boss to grind
once duriel dropped 5 Town portals, that's it- wow
@@stevejeffrey11 just happened to me, too lol. Weirdest drop ever
@@luckyduckfarms591 They put those drops on him originally because sometimes you couldn't get out of his pit there. That was a fucking bug at release, and they never updated his drops after that though. He is basically guaranteed to drop 1, but we all know this game has these issues.
TPs could be worth a lot in the 2020s
What are you slow? You can buy them from a vendor dummy...
That's right. I came here after a year to troll bait someone. I need help.
MrLlama: You can drop up to Zod in Cow Level
Me: *goes to farm cows*
Cows: *drop one El rune*
😂😂😅
Literally just happened to me
hilariously, if you look at how the game calculates rune drops, el is almost as unlikely to drop from a hell cow as a zod.
@@Reztiips In my experience El rune is a rare drop only when you actually need it
@John Smith if you did hell cows you killed baal, in which case you could as well farm A4/5
Oh no... You are killing me... Now i downloaded lod and will play all night long... Haha am a mum of 2... Tomorrow will be a looooong day for me
Dad of 4. I know the felling. No sleep d2r
Loving the "Let's Play Diablo 2" videos! Looking forward to seeing more of these with different classes :)
Got back into D2 after seeing these vids. Having great fun following along. You are great at explaining things. Awesome series. Thanks.
Just got back into Diablo 2 and I really appreciate you for uploading these! Helps me understand how to play other characters that are not in my comfort zone!
Mrllama,
thank you for keeping this game alive for me. I frequently watch your VODs, and these videos specifically have made the game even more enjoyable. Keep it all up!
Love watching this in preparation for Diablo 2: Resurrected! I played this game when I was younger and... realize while watching your videos that I never actually knew it. Thanks!
Started my amazon after 10 years not playing D2. It is such a good feeling to come back into the game, step by step. Amazing, thank you so much Llama and D2 Community.
Same story here! Thanks Llama!
Yeaaaaa, another one! Because of you MrLlama, I was able to initiated my girlfriend to play D2 for the first time, we watch your speedrun together, she really like the amazon so your lets play are the best thing there is to show her how to play and appreciate this wonderful game :) Thank you so much.
9 months now, I wonder if your GF got through hell yet? LoL
This serie was awesome, one of the very very few multi hour videos that I have watched fully in UA-cam. I really hope we get the pally version as well.
Binging these tutorials, Ty so much for helping me back into this game ! Played from 2000-2001 until the 1.10 patch ruined all my builds haha but your content helped me back into everything !
Thank you Mr Llamas. Fantastic 'Let's Play'. I recall giving up on my immolation bowazon build 20 years ago 3rd act in nightmare. This inspired me to give the javazon a go!
Amazon was my first character that I played D2 with but I never managed to complete Hell with her. Watching these playthrough videos have really given me the appetite to get the game installed again as I haven't played it for about 10 years and loved it so much.
only recently got really into d2. as a newcomer, this is much appreciated for anyone who is starting out.
you're a God Llama
Once you get comfortable with vanilla D2 you should try the path of diablo mod if you feel like playing online, alot of stuff was changed slightly so spend a bit of time learning the original game so you understand it more
I just beat Diablo 2 hell difficulty for the first time ever thanks to mrllama. Getting a level 17 valkyrie was EXCELLENT advice!
Simply brilliant series.
keep it comming these are great!
3:51:09 only nonagon infinity could do it. nice content by the way, loving these new videos
This has helped me finally get a zon thru hell
Llama at 2:16:50 "I can just remove that from the youtube video"
Me watching on UA-cam: "Oh no, I hope he doesn't remove it, that was funny, youtube people deserve to see it"
hear you there i am getting that for my necromancer for sure lower resist, when i see you play it makes me also want to play some d2 ;)
I'd love to see a walkthrough like this with the other characters. I usually play a sorc first to get gear for other future characters, but its nice to see how to get through the game without relying on a mules and trading. So many guides out there only focus on endgame and assume you're getting the best gear or just stumbling upon specific uniques. Its impossible to follow.
Really like this kind of content as well as the meme build runs you've been doing lately. The donation alerts aren't that annoying honestly and as long as you can get your points out there it is more than good enough.
Also I had a question. As a streamer, do you get tired of being asked the same question over and over again?
You are very wholesome and enjoyable to watch.
Just finished part 1 yesterday and part 2 awhile ago ❤️❤️❤️
Dude I cannot stop laughing at the Duriel Quest drop. What a reward, I guess the wiz pike was supposed to be your drop!
Really enjoyed playing along with this, even though i'm kinda stuck at Hell act3 gonna try and get to lower kurast and use Those super chest strats or go back and farm Andy for some better gear.
Can't wait for the next play along with a Paladin or a sorc
Ya Act 3 hell might be the hardest part of the game for the amazon. Definitely a time to upgrade gear, take it slow, get a merc/valk strong enough and walk through it slowly, etc
Thanks MrLlamaSC for the "tutorial" -> otherwise I still would try to get my javazon out act three im 2047.
1:52:22 thank you for this! i was skipping some of your lessons because the video is too damn long so i have to watch it again and look on why i keep dying to those ghost bastards.
omg, i know it a bit to late... but so much thanks for share, it get me thru with amazon...
Love ur channel man😁
Damn the brutality of Hell especially after Act 3 is insane. But nicely done MrLlama, you showed that us normal people can beat the game not so dependant on gear, just by doing good resource management, knowing what to kill and avoid, and where to put your talents effectively.
Waiting for the other classes' guides!
Ya Hell gets really nasty...
That being said, this is where farming a bit higher on nightmare baal, farming the bosses for gear, etc all really help out! For the sake of time I didn't do this but for those playing a little more casually that's a great way to avoid these hurdles
Really loving this series and I've been following along with a couple characters now (hammerdin, sorc and amazon). For this one I saw the issues llama had in hell mode though, and went with his recomendation to go for a hybrid build instead.
I maxed lightning fury, charged strike, frozen arrow and cold arrow with a couple points into pierce.
Got a melody runeword on swap (a double bow without any + to bow skills. Wouldve been MUCH better if I had found +1-3 bow skills)
Got a 3socket ptopaz helm and wealth runeword armor for MF while doing runs
Farmed NM Baal until lvl 70 and Act 1 Pits + Andariel until 78 to help get my bow damage up (used the bow A LOT in hell, so was worth it)
Found 2 sets of rare javs with +2 skills and +30-40 IAS
Shopped +2skills+20IAS at NM anya for both bow and jav, and swapped around later depending on the area I was in.
Replaced the Peace runeword with Smoke for extra resists.
Found decent rings and amus: raven frost from andariel and large resists on other ring + amu (raven frost is great since then you also can't be frozen while using bow)
Also found Aldur's boots with 50 fire res and some resist charms
Shopped for 100 health belt
Found a Whitstan Guard which helped a ton with max block as java (worth noting that resists on shield and great since then you dont have any when you swap to your bow)
Finally I got some decent gear for my merc to help tank for me (cryptic axe with strength runeword, thieves helm and duriel's shell armor)
But with this setup I was able to progress quite nicely through the game, hopefully that helps somebody!
really hoping this turns into a series. i vote for Necro or Sorc next!
GG
I keep getting a million zealots at travincal, impossible to get to the counsil members :'( Thanks for the guides Llama! I started playing again after about 13years of doing vanilla, still LOVE it
Love the series hopefully Sorc Frozen Orb next
Hey llama just thought of a cool series idea where you create a plugy universe where the end goal is to get all characters to an endgame build. Give you the option of what class you want to play any given day and gives us the grind to end game builds on all characters :) just a thought. Love your content!
When I was playing D2 as a child, I never realised you could just run past imune monsters. I was clubing them for half an hour, 1 HP at a time.
Hello! Thank you for this magnificent work, I took a speedrunner approach, without farming. Just countess on normal and nightmare, didnt killed a single boss more than once. I was playing plugy tho so everything was in my chest. So my thoughts about a game:
nightmare was easier than normal. Hell was a fking HELL. I had so much fun with ancients, I didnt have any armor/helm or runes that I could give my merc, he was dying so quickly. I respeced to max valkyrie at ancients which killed me maany times, I runned ancients way like 20 times this game, on succesful run I dropped horadric cube and forgot to take >
wow been playing for years and never knew about bugging mercs, that's crazy!
I remember when I got my Ethereal Titan's Revenge in Kurast Sewer in Nightmare difficulty. I screamed like a moron. Good old times. Makes me want to scavenge my old harddrive again to get the save file.
I recall in one of your guides you said if stand behind baal he'll only decrep you and not the merc. So I spawned the decoy there and it works too! He only decreps the clone and leaves you and the merc!
Thumbs up for the Duriel drops.
Been enjoying this amazon playthrough/lecture over the past couple days. Hope you do Paladin next!
Looks like paladin is most likely going to be next!
@@MrLlamaSC I'm so excited! Just saw the normal run pop up on my subscription feed. Gonna tuck into it once I'm done watching Hell Amazon.
Oooooh thank you thank you thank you. Maybe I can get through maggot lair now :)
I loved the Lets Play, even though it still felt a bit like a speedrun. But I guess that was expected with a character using flat dmg skills. I would really like to see you do the same with a wolf/bear druid. I thing it would be really interesing to see what weappons and runewords you will use, as the druid would depend much more on his gear.
Darn I got io on hell forge because of you guys.
Really insane videos... You're a very nice player. Running in the dungeons with all that sh&t powerful...🚫🚫🚫
GG!😉
Whenever you teleport, a Leharas is saved somewhere
Hi, I've always wanted to try the Amazon but she was a bit intimidating imo, but I jumped on-board with your let's play through and I'm enjoying a lot the char. I can't find the Titan's but found an insane item for sorc it's an orb +2cold skills +3bliz
Good luck for mang song, I wish you the best
I can’t find Titans either. Lvl 79.
1:40:35 those drops insane omfg
Going through the hell maggot lair with the javazon was maybe the most painful experience I've ever had in this game. I'm impressed he did it so quickly
Ugh and act 3 is even worse.
2:29:17 D2 is still great in 2023 :)
Just finished maggot lair with lightning javazon. It was abysmal and basically put decoy, run, teleport, get trapped, reset :D it took quite a while
1:40:40 The drops are just too GOOD!! 😂
Tip for Javazons: Nightmare Act 2 defensive Merc (with some decent weapon / lightning res) & Lvl 17 Valkyrie (with extra skills) will get you through any lightning immunity heavy area safely and will also help deal with the ancients. If you're lucky with your lightning res / or even have some absorb (lightsaber, thundergods for example) you can also add in extra damage with your lvl 1 spear skill. Not a lot of extra damage but it will help in case you don't have a teleport ready.
I prefer to hit hell with lvl 70 and thus have a few more skills to put into valk at that point.
I enjoyed this let´s play very much! Seeing as you got a ton of druid drops, perhaps you could consider doing the next let´s play on a druid? Especially a werewolf druid would be so awesome, it´s my favorite out of all D2 classes/specs.
haha werewolf druid would definitely require a little gear farming :D
@@MrLlamaSC All the more reason to make the let´s play so I´ll know how to gear my woof for Hell :P.
Started playing d2 again because of you! Thanks for all the new tips! I never even made rune words 😅
Hey Llama, great vid, thank you. Like some other people before me I'm curious if you have plans to make this a series for all classes?
Yeaa, i got lum in hellforge while watching this so i kinda understand how's it feel
How to play Hell mode in D2: run. run from everything.
this is what i comment above, don´t kill anything, my baba 96 lvl kicks ALL asses, killer souls, burning/black souls, Lords of the Death or Moon, viperine magus, skeletons, anykind of undeads, beatles etc. and sometimes i'm alone because my merc dies. I use just 1 portal pergamine and 4 mana pocions, 8 life pocions and 4 purple full pocions.
run! run! noobie! run! kkkkkkk
Didn’t like the Amazon until you made it lvl 30. Might give this a try in D2R
got a reaper toll in my hell cs drop from LDS much needded upgrade for my merc helped me kill quizer and finish the cs super fast :))
I think you should mention /nopickup on the next one of these you do.
I'd also put in my request that Paladin be next because that's what I'm going to be playing next, but more seriously I think you should do Sorceress next to cover the people that want to play a pure caster.
I finished to watch your all Normal, NM and Hell amazon let's play! ~15h is long but damn was worth it! Thanks a lot to share this kind of format as it's simply amazing to learn the game!
That said i still have 1 question left, you probably won't see since the video is over a year old but ho well...
You say we can dual spec lightning dmg + either Freezing Arrow or Exploding Arrow but you never mentioned Plague Javelin, is this skill too bad?
impresive loot from Duriel,punished for bug quest Andariel
man, we SHOULD to repeat this in the d2r, especially the flayer jungle :)
1:14:00 different immunbreakers are only 1/5 effective when above 100 res so i will not expect higher level curse will break'em, beetles got ~115 res or higher so conviction aura is a thing we need.
I spent two weeks going through hell as a javazon and it was PAIN.
Im dead... All tp scrolls on duriel.. Soooo GG!!!
Are you going to do some end game runs and farming once you've rounded up all the classes? I would love to see your perspective on that! Either way, loving it (now back to finishing up the NM video)
Look up his grail sorc. its been a running series for several years now, but you can see what ultra late game grinds and maxxed out characters look like. his sorc is a little insane
That Baal fight was like mine last night. I could hardly do anything because of those tentacles. -_-
Llama , Llama ,Llama you are best ! No drama))) yeahhh its You!
Personal Bookmark:
16:20 - tower time!
29:36 - going through all the runewords for new characters.
45:22 - WTF?! a Lem rune?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I have farmed a week for now on Act 1 Hell, no Lem is found...
1:44:10 - this game becomes a horror game in hell Act 3 for javazon.
1:45:00 - time for the A2 mercenary, more details about it at this timemark
Awesome, could you do a guide on how to level up fast post game until 95? Like P8 Chaos or P8 Stony Field/Tristram? Thx man!
Fastest route to lvl 99 (if lvl95 is your goal, just follow this but do Ancients on lvl94).
1. Do not do Hell Ancients until lvl98
2. Do tons of Chaos runs (mostly players1, but for Diablo players7) until lvl98 (or to lvl99)
3. Do tons of Nihlathak runs until lvl98 (or to lvl99), without dying of course (not for all builds is this a good option!)
If you don't want to use /playersx command, farming XP Shrines will be a thing.
This will still take insane amount of time...
If you are on bnet, whole another story, get a team that will kill seal bosses in Chaos and Baal waves 1-2-3 for you then you join and do the Diablo and wave 4-5-Baal killing and then you just jump games that your teammates are creating.
Also Ondal's Wisdom can help if it fits your charbuild and a good Annihilus charm.
This might be stupid answer but i was looking into diablo 2's excel tables and a thing about curses is: they have just higher level in higher difficulty. The longer duration corresponds a bigger necro skill level, and a skill level does not exponentially grow between NM and hell (i do not remember the exact values) so i think a reason to be "cursed for the rest of the run" there is mainly because of larger amount of bosses and 3 (4 for SE) mods on bosses.
Found sigons boots, belt, gloves in NM. Gives fire/cold res, IAS, faster run/walk, 50mf... not bad for running through NM.
Came here to leave a mean comment to help the algorithm
best drop from duriel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MrLlama trying to kill the Ancient is still faster than me trying to find Titan at 158 MF at players 7
"Like and Subscribe! I think that's what UA-camrs say..." 😂
after merc bug being patched, i never thought id be able to clear ancients with this build, cant believe i did it lol
wow youtube. everyone loves this video. you should recommend it to 100k people - MrllamaSC 11/15/19
Hell yeah :D
Thanks for your Lets plays - Just played through the game my first time SSF with PlugY ... Though hell reminded me why i always stopped playing this game in hell.... In my Opinion the Immunities are the one of the worst game design decisions of all ARPG history. Its just not fun having to skip alot of mobs and needing gearswaps to clear at least a few immunities + having to reset areas over and over. I Know there are a few runewords that can deal with that, but until you get them youre anyways through the game already. The Hell Portion of my own Playthrough was just a "i wanna finish this" kinda thing, and it was not nearly as fun as Nightmare was. I Ended up playing Hybrid with the Cold-Damage-Arrows but took years to kill mobs with that. The immunities dont add difficulty, they just kill a lot of the fun there would be without them. In total it was very fun, but the endgame of D3 and PoE are way more enjoyable. I Hope there will be a good endgame without immunities in D4. Thanks again - You're awesome i hope you keep on doing well
Yeah, Hell is between boring and frustrating. Idk what they had in mind, but then again it's not like Blizz could foresee that twenty years later we'd be grinding this game like crazy. I guess they either didn't really test the sp portion of game having in mind that multiplayer might be more important, maybe they were unable to make the game challenging in some other way. idk. But it still sucks.
It's fascinating to me that people can stay upbeat and entertained playing old games like this over and over and over. Not hating.....genuinely fascinated.
@@torchlight3173 I really don't think that is a relative comparison. The graphics are terrible by todays standards. The movement is terrible by todays standards. I've played arpg's long enough to know that the tactile feel of the combat is of paramount importance. Losing yourself in the lore and aesthetics is a close second. Neither of which is possible in D2. Maybe in the 90's but not today. Our brains understand the difference, hence my fascination.
@@torchlight3173 I understand the depth of D2 as I played it back in the 90's. I'm now a POE guy and it has plenty of depth.
Of coarse these are my opinions, I never implied otherwise. This would be a helluva sparse comment section without them.
@@torchlight3173 You as well......im still fascinated though. Haha
MrLlama Amazon will be good at The bow skills
First time passed all difficulties without single death in a single player PvM - solved this by having javazon. I was inspired by your video :)
Did couple things differently: I first maxed lighting fury and charged strike, then maxed out valkyire, after valkyire was maxed put the rest to lighting strike to further boost fury and charged strike. Spent some time to get Sanctuary off of 3-socket dragon shield and found some immortal king equipment that I took along the way (mostly for increased strength, resistances, IAS and 40% walk speed). Didn't find the Titan's Revenge, so I had to stick to some random Matriarchial Javelin with +2 to javelin skills and a massive enhanced damage boost - and that's it! Immortal king gear is what helped me to equip it (gauntlets, belt and boots). As far as other stuff is concerned - still had crappy lore and stealth I got early in the game. Instead of holy freeze I took Might merc (it had +skills on his gear to increase an effect of might aura) - and that adds a lot of damage to physical attacks of my maxed valkyire and javazon, so even Ancients weren't that big of a deal. I also used decoy a lot to lure enemies to it first before touching merc and valkyire. In the end of the day, I think it is due to Sanctuary and its massive defensive boost that I didn't die - as I didn't pay attention to enchanted monsters and a few times it was close - all I had is a red line on the health bar.
It is unfortunate that single player doesn't provide access to thunderstroke and spirit. Is there actually any chance to get Titan's in non-ladder setting?
you can get all the ladder uniques. you just can't get ladder runewords
I respeced at Akt 3 from java to bowa. It was an OK-experience.
Call it what you want, but I can't seem to get plugy to work on my "diablo2 laptop" but hero editor and go mule work fine. So what I do is use hero editor for a few things and go mule to transfer stashes. I use hero editor to create and design things like insight and enigma, however I find the runes or gear before I do that. I also use hero editor for my holy trail because I have to export all of my items into a grail folder because I can't hold them in my stash. I will however allow myself to loan an item or two if I need it. I always use a javazon for my grail because sorcs are boring in my opinion, which you NEED an infinity, I just can't seem to beat hell without one. And since javazons cannot stack MF well I might add 100mf to a couple charms that are in my stash so that I can effectively magic find on my favorite character. It can be really fun to mess around with putting random skills on characters that they don't normally have but if your just building op busted gear that can't even spawn I don't see how that can be fun.
WE DID IT! :D
The worst thig on hell difficulty is so many lighting resistant monsters. Its crazy, my valkire is the only thing i can use against them...
Come on, llama, you are making me want to play vanilla d2 one more time (nowadays i play only mxl as of d2 stuff)
hi, could you do a "Let's play" on a Sorc? I'm having trouble to pick the moment I need to respec... :( Btw, great videos on the Amazon, I'm totally into playing her now ^^
What kinda sorc are you going for?
@@ArcanumMetal currently it's a nova sorc - but at the end of act 2 on NM, im not dealing enough dmg. Gear isnt that bad - Lore, Stealth, shield with good resists etc. Also i've got a lot of FCR
@@iliyaatanasov9123 hmm im not sure nova is worth using in vanilla d2 on later difficulties, if youre going light i think its best to go down the middle skill tree. You can also look at hybrid sorcs too, if immunes are becoming a problem
@@ArcanumMetal yeah, i might go meteorb, just like i always did back in the day, but i saw llama going for nova, and i've decided to try it. thanks for your help, although i'd love to watch a Let's play on a sorc. =]
1:40:39 the best quest drop ever
i cant keep up he is too good.. im still act1 normal
Its 2019 and i just found out the Andy bug...
I just discovered you could force to respawn different monster types in the area by restarting the game. I thought you need reset it all like difficulty switch.
@@CrysisFear I have played D2 on-off for years and I only found about what "damage goes to mana" actually means watching this video. Damn did I feel like an idiot XD.
Great video. I find Travancial impossible so far.
Trav can be pretty hard. Gotta separate them off a bit!
@@MrLlamaSC I rewatched how you did that. Seems like the stars aligned for you. Lol
After my 3rd failed attempt to go through the Maggot lair with Amazon, I just went and bought teleport staff from Drognan lmao :D I guess it's called "Hell Difficulty" for a reason.
d2 still great in 2021
