Can You Beat DIABLO 2 With Only Poison?

- Question : Who would win in a fight? The devil himself, or an Eldritch Potato Vine?
The answer may surprise you! ...unless you're familiar with my channel. In which case you know exactly how this is going to end.
Diablo 2 has some pretty crazy status effects, but Poison is probably one of my favorite. Just tag an enemy with the effect and run away. But does this work for the entire game?
Time to find out if Diablo 2 can be beaten with only the poison status.

The fact that one of your easiest runs ever was nearly stopped by a simple wooden door is kind of amazing.
It wasn't nearly stopped. There are multiple workarounds and easy solutions, like for example a telly staff.
or walking around it xD. No paths in that area are completely blocked off. But that wouldn't add to the awesomeness of the video :P @@CaptainMarci104
About Achmel, assuming that it's AI is similar to other Greater Mummies, he can only revive undead in his sight, so I guess you killed enough skeletons in areas he could not see since there was like only one skeleton around when he ran at you, think the AI notice if it has less than a certain number undead alive, and nothing to rez it tries to rush the player, with the devs programming it like that assuming the corpses might be near the player outside the Mummies range
I think it's just corpses despawning - floor looks a lot more "clean" around the time boss started chasing Lemon.
@@pillagius Both Carrion Vain and Solar creeper consume corpse while restoring health/mana respectively.
would not put past anything that it would actually consume corpse, despite lacking healing properties.
@@kudrzyk That could be it, actually. Could be it still consumes corpses to heal itself.
I haven't played druid in ages...
Yeah, carrion vine definitely eats corpses periodically.
Im guessing Holy Damage is your fourth favorite way if dealing damage
There's no such thing as holy damage in diablo 2. There are skills that only deal damage to undead though.
@@gefehede7783 I ment in general dude
@@gefehede7783 this is actually wrong. blessed hammer does magic and holy damage. holy gamage just means it does increased damage to undead and demons
@@tradexvoid blessed hammer does not do holy dmg, because creature immune to magic dmg ( aka the mommies in act 2 in hell ) take no dmg from blessed hammer, holy bolt however, does holy dmg and is the only 100%magic dmg skill that can kill magic immune creature.
@@JamesDM4 Doesn't it mean that there are technically two pure magic damage skills that can kill immunes, since Fist of Heavens also releases holy bolts.
Was a treat to see Harvey again! Our favorite Nature Elder God, always caring for his friends.
Another great video, incredibly well done. Here's to another great year of challenge runs!
out of curiosity what was Harvey from originally?
@theirishviking78 Harvey is from his salt and sanctuary/sacrifice potato/carrot only runs
Harvey 'Vine'stein?
D2 being in my top three favorite (and most replayed) games of all time, I'm all for the D2R content.
Thanks!
Nah, no need for this trashcontent glorifying what ActiBlizz made out of Diablo 2, Diablo 2 Resurrected, which isn't not as MUCH of a conning shitshow as Warcraft 3 Reforged but honestly pretty close, as you can see on the new animations f.e.
The Werewolf wlk looks more like some ape and not like a lykantrope but alas, 90% of the viewers are probably not even old enough to have played or even bought the original Diablo 2 themself xD
You didn't even take the time to finish reading my one sentence comment before jumping into a two-paragraph response?@@Oroberus
@@Kitsune-Chaos Nope, I actually didnt and I have indeed edited my comment accordingly, thanks for making me aware of my initial mistake
D2 was my first game I ever played and it's still one of my favorite games ever made (and yes I'm avoiding the Activision blizzard depression I'm having)
@@Oroberusthanks but I rather take the were-ape than playing on the shitty d2 graphics or the really badly made graphic mods.
Also you're probably just bad bebazse some stupid shit you did/do doesn't work anymore or even better, you are one of those boomers thst played d2 before expansion/before rune words and you're bad thst the game is not as versatile or hardcore as you remember it.
Greetings, old-school d2 fan thst fucking adores d2r =)
Btw, the previous statements are things spoken out from friends and other people =)
Im glad that those of us that listen to these while gaming are recognized ive gotten like 5 p ranks while your videos are on keep em comin
Harvey = GOAT!
Honestly thought you’d have more trouble and roadblocks but you made it look surprisingly easy. Love these videos, keep it up!
I learned so much about Diablo in this video.. so in the spirit of knowledge, did you know that a cousin of the "harvey" potato vine is actually peanuts.. like peanuts grow on a bush.. but not on the bush, they are actually a structure in the root system of a small bush.. so when you pick peanuts you actually grab a small shrub at the base and pull out a huge root ball covered in peanuts... they only grow in sandy or loamy soil thats why you can pull the whole root system out of the ground... well now you know. Love your videos
Man, talk about subverted expectations with the class choice here, it honestly made the challenge all the more entertaining to witness! Bravo!
this is just a clone videos from someone else who did this a few weeks ago, also he cheated with attacker takes damage on some of his items.
"Harvey's hugs" made me gut chuckle. Never seen your channel before, cool stuff! My favorite game of all time :)
Thank you *so* much for putting the music in the description
Boutta go listen to Panacea (Vignette) Hyper Light Drifter cause it sounded good in the outro
2019: time is normal
2020-2023: blinks for 5 seconds
2024: time is normal once again
Omg, I'm so psyched for the D2 challenge runs!
Please do more!
Also you're the best
Aw Harvey. What a great way to start off the year. Good luck with your Backlog, I feel you there. Mine is smaller than most but I still can't seem to make much headway in it. RIP.
Im excited for this year for you backlogs! I highly enjoy your content!
Listening to this as I start my weekly meal prep, so thank you for the acknowledgement, and I appreciate you too.
I've never had an interest in Diablo but I love this series keep it up man!
Thank you lemon for making such great content 😃
Your content got me through 2023, which was really bad for me, so thank you so much, I really love your videos
These kinds of videos are always so much fun to watch
I love your videos. Everytime i feel down they give me momentary respite and I can laught. Onto more videos in 2024 and beyond.
Love your stuff man keep going
While I can't wait to see new games in ur channel, it's nice to start the year with something familiar :D
I feel like I'm going to need a Backlogs wiki for all the lore. Harvey, Carl, Melon, Firebomb Goddess Cat, and AI Chicken namer. Have I missed anyone?
Tony as well.
@@samk-j6735
I was replaying DS3 recently and I hear Tony's voice whenever I see skeletons now
Very cool video. Diablo 2 for me like many is a staple of gaming no matter the source. Thanks for the video man.
Always happy when backlogs posts a new video for me to watch at 1:41 am
great music choice at the end, hyper light drifter is such a beautiful game
and another good start of the new year 🙂Thanks for the video Lemon and congrats on the 3 pages of scholars ;-)
This was pretty great! I need more D2 runs!!
A poison only run? You have this scholars attention. Also, happy new year lemon and mrs lemon!
Nice DS2 joke
i fully support actually playing through your backlog this year
What better than a Diablo 2 Backlogs Video on my Birthday
As someone who was having a real bad day already. Seeing this video pop up in my feed really has turned it around. Thank you Lemon.
My favorite youtube plays my favorite game. Perfect start of the year!
Without having to watch the video, as a seasoned D2, D2:LOD, and D2R. The answer is 'yes'.
Assuming you know what your doing, have time to grind out the proper gear with the right stats, and put quite literally days into it.
Awesome video as always!
always happy to see harvey out and about!
13:05 So this seems related to a glitch found by D2 LOD speedrunners. It used to be that you would lure out each wave into the hallways since there is a trigger in the room (near the entrance) that spawns the wave. Interestingly, in the latest speedrunning strategy, it was discovered that there are actually two triggers! One triggers a cue to Baal that you have entered the room, the second triggers the actual spawn of the next wave. It turns out that if you interrupt the second trigger by turning around after triggering the first trigger, the game will register that you left the room while still registering that a wave has spawned (even though a wave hasn't actually spawned). So, I think you stumbled onto the old speedrunning strat BL!
Or Harvey triggered the unraveler's melee attack and didn't deaggro. It can be attacked after all.
Happy new year lemon love your vids
A pleasantly soothing video this time, your biggest struggle was a wooden door :D
Hopefully more of your challenge runs will be similarly easy this year.
I had a big smile when I heard the TUNIC song play in the background at the start. What a wonderful game that is
The legend of the Eldritch Root continues! May his eyes be plentiful and startch thick! All hail Harvey!
I do only listen to you sometimes. It is very calming to listen to you man!
I love the return of the lord of the Harvest, welcome back Harvey
I don’t see you but I hear you and appreciate you as well!(listening at work)
I want to see more actual backlogs videos. The challenge videos are great, esp with the variety content lately, but I do want to see you do more of your actual backlogs.
If you plan on doing more D2 challenges in the future, buy up Antidotes for Andariel and Thawing Potions for Duriel. They will give you a ton of poison resist and cold resist respectively, and the more you drink the longer they last. I think it's like 30seconds per potion you drink.
I remember this. You already did something like this... no... it was the other guy. No wait what? Where do i have that misty knowledge from? I even commented on poison creeper being being the canon hero or some shit. Pls help-
I love how happy Harvey is throughout the whole video.
Almost completely unrelated to the video, but every time you introduce yourself as Lemon, it just cracks me up.
As a big fan of The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, I can't wait for you to try it. Though I can't really think of a fun challenge run idea for it.
ending with a hyper light drifter was a nice touch, one of my favorite games.
I'm always excited for your videos, Lemon. Be good to yourself, too. ♥
Woo, a new Ds2 vid that'll help to convince me to actually play Ds2
Would love to see similar videos made for POE, number of options you would have is insane...
so far best i saw is flame dash combined with totems :P
I was bored, and the lord of gaming and patience delivers
man, so happy to see harvey back :D
I watch while I'm cooking. But it's nice to be seen!
I do feel appreciated being pointed out that I’m gaming while listening in xD
Just finished working on some models for my game listening to this now ima watch the video for full fun
I’m glad that someone else shares my passion for DoT effects. Poison, bleeding, radiation, rarely fire, etc are always my favorite ways to play games regardless of how bad they’re implemented
Would indeed be cool to see more non-Souls stuff this year, Lemon. At least that's how I feel; not ever getting tired of _you,_ but at sooome point, y'know, there's a liiittle part of me that wants to scream whenever it reads the words "Souls" or "From" yet again. x)
At about 4 minutes, I could not pay attention anymore. The ToeJam and Earl music brought so many Memories I had to find my Mega Drive and play THAT thing all over again.
Highly approve of using Lifeformed's music for the background. Tunic's overworld music is an absolute delight :D
d2 is my favourite game, keep em runs coming ❤
The end credits music choice *"chef's kiss"*
Well time to replay Diablo 2 haha thanks Lemon and Harvey of course haha
I just listening this while working, hey thanks for noticing =)
better than asmr!
Lemon are you making a subsidery to the Firebomb Academy related to poison? You’ve made a few poison-only videos at this point
Poisonbomb Academy just doesn't have the ring to it
Not a subsidiary, just a possible Associates Degree for potential scholars.
@@TheBacklogs I’d be willing to accept that
I'm listening to this video while riding to work, thank you for seeing me
I love harvey! more harvey content!!! this is an early birthday gift! (my b-day is january 21 so I'm happy)
Long ago I made a poison javelin amazon for PvP. It was surprisingly effective against a lot of players
God job, Harvey!
Good luck on the backlog clearing, I've been failing to do so for years 😛
Day off, and lemon uploaded? BRRRROOOOOO
When I played the game a decade ago (when I was only in elementary school), I didn't read the skill descriptions and thought that the Druid vines are actually earthworms...
Never even thought as the vine skills as damage dealers, so props to this run... and any Diablo 2 run in the future.
This was just... really wholesome.
I was always curious where the name of your channel came from!
I appreciate the acknowledgement of the 'listener' contingent. Hello from a member of that 👋
I felt called out. I mostly listen to your videos xD
Welcome back, Harvey.
Unpaid vacation in Sanctuary makes up for the cateyes he was promised back in the day.
Silly silly Lemon wanting to play new games when he still has to bonk himself through DS 2 and DS 3.
Happy new year man hope it´s a great one for you.
Another video from tha champ yay
i saw ac6 and titanfall 2 in that backlog, i am quite excited for when those come about
I saw Arx Fatalis on that list, planning on doing a video on that? I'd love that
The return of our Great God Harvey!
I've never even played a Diablo game, I just like your voice
The first time I played a Diablo game, I never saw any of the bosses. My computer froze on boss spawn, and since I had thorns damage, when the game resumed there was just a pile of loot. Finally glad I get to see what the bosses look like and what they do!
watching this while playing d2 myself :D happy new year
The quote at 8:40 caught me off guard because I’ve never heard someone else that’s had this same experience. I have that feeling like once every couple of weeks, I thought I was alone in it.
1:47 I happen to be grinding out the MH:R platinum right now and feel all kinds of called out to. Thanks
To hell with steam backlogs, keep doing darksouls fellow undead
We aint making it thrue the backlogs with this one 👏
MY GOD LEMON IVE BEEN WATCHING EVERYONES ONE SHOT CHALLENGE VIDEOS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ILL LITERALLY SQUIRT LEMONS INTO MY EYES IF IT DOESNT COME OUT BEFORE JUNE (on the real tho take your time I want it to be good)
I don't ever played or saw anything about Diablo II. I just find you a nice guy, so here I am
We got Dark Souls 1 miracles only. It'd be cool to make that a series too, Dark Souls 2 and 3 await you Lemon..The spells are calling.
Seeing Arx Fatalis on backlogs list fills me with joy. I love that game to bits.
Its a great game. I wondef if that spiritual successor is already out.
You should try Fear and Hunger! its a VERY hard game, and after completing it, there will be a lot of room to do challenge runs
Woe be on Lemon if he plays that game
Finally. Another Diabo 2 video. I thought that you already did this, until you said that you did a run with firebombs and thorns...wait. It's only 3 videos and I've seen them already?
That was a nice outro.
Yay for the return of Harvey the harvest lord!
