I'm so happy I got to enjoy Diablo 2 it was the greatest gaming experience of my entire life.....from the pve to the incredible pvp no game has ever compared for me. I hope they bring back greatness in diablo 4
Wouldn't be a GDQ without Llama running D2 and being very thorough while doing it. True professionalism each time around. I love the D2 block. Keep doing the good runs, Mr. Llama. Hope to see a Barbarian run next time!
Hey all, I'm WeGoGiant on Twitch and was the host during this run. MrLlama is just as cool in person as he appears on stream. Thanks for watching and supporting GDQ.
I'm so glad the rng is playing nice this time, Llama deserved better than last year's run lol. He handled it well of course, but I like seeing him in his element like this instead of struggling against the rune droprates.
imagine diablo 2 was real and you, the adventurer, save the world from diablo and his demon spawn in 2 hours flat, spanning across woodlands, desserts, marshes, the gates of hell itself on the craziest potion bender of your life
@@JohnnySnipshow And then you find out it was that one Daedra whom set you up the whole time. First some silly 'fetch the staff' quest and then this...
I dreamed about this diablo before. that is totally nightmare. because all my entire family got eat by him. And I want to run, but my leg stuck, I just cant move my leg... And when this demon caught me. He detached my head, suddenly I awake. Got damn it.. That is the worst nightmare I got in entire my life.
Ok. Picture my Barbarian a such..... Imagine Brock from Venture Bros meets Rick from Rick and Morty at around a 70/30 ratio. On top of that the potions your chugging not only intoxicate you but also provide the effect Red Eye from Cowboy bebop. It would probably play like that scene in Over the Hedge where they give Hammy an energy drink.
This looks so weird... "The world is about to end, we need help!!!" 2 hours and 5 minutes later after passing tons of demons that are still thinking "Did some guy just pass me" "DONE!"
Wow, Diablo II was my childhood, seeing the time already made me quirk an eyebrow, but lord I'm so glad to see something I used to play so often speedran...
1:56:50 As my Llama allways said... Life is like a Throne of Destruction. You never know what you'll get. And it's filled with 0 to 40 Death Lords who are all trying to kill you.
yeah those were the days... i remember watching my older cousins play d2 when i was like 8 years old, when i finally got to play it on my dads computer the first act took me like a week of playing everyday to finish and i thought i had finished the game, i was so proud of myself
No lies. I played about 10 years of this game. From 1996 to about 2006-7 was my last runs. This makes me want to shelve my PoE grind for a few seasons and revisit what started it all for me.
Diablo 2 is a game like you want to play over and over again after few years. I first played using a Paladin then a Barbarian then an Amazon. Now watching this, I want to try a Necromancer.
@@siosilvar Haha I knew the Valkyrie summon had random gear cos my dad, years ago when he used to play this game, used to use various different bots and maphacks and one of them let you look at the gear that other players had equipped, and it let me look at the Valkyrie's items.
it is nice to have somebody else other than mrLlama explain the game from the couch. Llama really doesn't excel at making all these details easy to digest, since he plays the game all day just chatting with people who know D2 already
@@chesterra But the original, bigger hype was from the popular John Wick-movies. And merging well-known actor with highly anticipated game in total secrecy... Also, don't forget the movie Johnny Mnemonic, must see movie for any cyberpunk-fan. Included many of the tropes from the original rpg. Besides, i think Keanu has been aging well. Although he will always be that "whoah"-kid, he now has some adult seriousness.
Favorite new streamer. I just found him from hims D2R youtube, but that repurposed Mitch Hedburg joke at the beginning sold me. "I used to hate Necromancer... I still do, but I used to, to"
I seriously played d2 after years of poe, man the references GGG took from d2 are massive. Like the skill level scaling system, weapon dmg affix mods , resistance capping at 75 etc :D
Got a ber rune D2R cow level while watching this. I almost cried, never had that high a rune drop personally. The worst part is my computer wouldn't take a 30 second recording. Guess I should just have it rolling.
after a while, you just kinda know where the affixes land and how long the various ones are. they become shapes more than words, after 17k hours im sure hes not reading anything anymore
I loved the Necro too, summoning Necro especially. But I could never get the Iron golems to work right. Remember how you were supposed to be able to customize the golem a bit by casting the summon skill on weapons or armors with with particular stats? Well it seemed like every great piece of gear I used to make an Iron Golem got obliterated by even weak mobs, but whatever unexceptional junk I happen to make a Golem out of could stand toe to toe with Act bosses. Maybe that was just me though.
Same. Had a summoner necro using skeletons and revive with a beast runeword berserker axe and the pole arm on my merc that gave another aura I forget the name of on top of his defensive aura from being an act 2 merc. Destroyed all content in the game while I just sat back and watched.
Blood golem is best with iron maiden as the ironmaiden damage counts as the blood golems and heals him for more damage then the enemy deals, so he becomes unkillable (at least in the original version, donno if that changed in a later patch).
Its funny listening to the mouse clicks. i remember when i was a kid playing this and me and my brother destroyed the mouse of our family's computer. mom was mad :D
Runner introduction starts at 00:06
Run starts at 01:03
Couch commentary is provided by Musical_Daredevil, Nospimi99 and Icyrayne
WeGoGiant is host.
This is super impressive! Usually it takes me this long to decide upon the character name....
that name is unavailable....
Lmmmmaaaaooo
Llama is the only guy who could do a full on speedrun and detailed commentary without batting an eye.
0:01:10 Starting things off with a Mitch Hedberg joke. I approve. "I used to hate the Necromancer. I still do, but I used to as well."
I'm so happy that someone else recognized his joke!!!
this is probably the least "in group" joke I see everywhere
I don't get it
@@stratotega When you say you used to do something it implies that you don't do it anymore.
@@stratotega Mitch Hedberg said, "I use to do drugs, I still do, but I used to too."
Speedrunning and giving quality and informative commentary at the same time, Llama was a born performer, awesome.
I'm so happy I got to enjoy Diablo 2 it was the greatest gaming experience of my entire life.....from the pve to the incredible pvp no game has ever compared for me. I hope they bring back greatness in diablo 4
Kuddos to Blizzard for letting him interview the devs for the remaster. You could tell he was so excited.

D2 was amazing! I used to play this game like almost everyday for years
I now want Lama to do every class at a GDQ, I can't get enough of them.
Barbarian would be rough lol
MrLlamaSC you can do it! Yes, you can.. don’t let y(our) dreams be dreams
@@MrLlamaSC please?!
I'm so glad the rng is playing nice this time, Llama deserved better than last year's run lol. He handled it well of course, but I like seeing him in his element like this instead of struggling against the rune droprates.
I played this game so much back in the day... seeing this, it baffles me how little I know of the game haha
Good job.
same haha

I LOVE this video's athmosphere and the commentary! Thank you Lama!
The memories. My early teenage years of awkwardness and losing my mom with no siblings...this game helped me through it. Cheers
Probably one of the greatest games of all time. So fun and repayable.
Glad it did brother!
LLAMA AGAIN FOR D2 SPEEDRUN?! I LOVE IT!!!
Diablo 2 is a cornerstone of gaming
Saw how he didnt click on the waypoint. When he pulled up the menu screen I was shouting at the screen, "don't exit!"
This looks so weird... "The world is about to end, we need help!!!" 2 hours and 5 minutes later after passing tons of demons that are still thinking "Did some guy just pass me" "DONE!"
"Stay awhile and listen.."
2hrs later Llama is back to rub it in Cain's face lol
two years later & im still clapping for teeth 🦷
God this brings back the memories. Weird seeing a necromancer thats not trying to lag the instance with a million skeletons
more than a decade later, and I still find myself reflexively hitting tab to turn off the mini map, but while watching you guys play
Wow, Diablo II was my childhood, seeing the time already made me quirk an eyebrow, but lord I'm so glad to see something I used to play so often speedran...
Early game throwing knives are one of the best. Takes up 2 slots and usually min sells for 400G
I've been waiting for these speedruns
Good job on the run and congrats on the engagement
1:56:50 As my Llama allways said... Life is like a Throne of Destruction. You never know what you'll get. And it's filled with 0 to 40 Death Lords who are all trying to kill you.
"95% of the time, it's going to have a guaranteed boss."
I love the comments and the run, tho
Those poor barbs in act 5, left to die for the remaining 20 minutes of the siege!
Careful after watching the whole run you'll end up with a crave for watching it the other class versions
Subscribed to llamas UA-cam channel after his Diablo run last time. Highly recommend, lot of fun, and a genuinely all around nice guy.
His content is superb. Check out his man vs streams for some good times. They are about 20 hrs each but worth the watch
Fkn hell , i remember 15 years ago i was going at internet caffe buying a full night ( i think it was 6-7 hours) and i was dooing lvl 25 :))
yeah those were the days... i remember watching my older cousins play d2 when i was like 8 years old, when i finally got to play it on my dads computer the first act took me like a week of playing everyday to finish and i thought i had finished the game, i was so proud of myself
Diablo II
Such an incredible game.
Must be remastered!
Why remaster? It's already perfect.
@@tengilvontronje8069 we need hd version
I come from the future!!!!
Wish granted
Summon Necro Maggot Lair is a nightmare lol
God watching this makes me wanna replay D2....
No lies. I played about 10 years of this game. From 1996 to about 2006-7 was my last runs. This makes me want to shelve my PoE grind for a few seasons and revisit what started it all for me.
CriticoolHit 10 years total playtime?
Always a delight to see this game at GDQ. Glad to see luck was more on your side this time around.
Now we got an amazing remaster. Super hype
2:05:09 ?? wow !I can't finish act 3 in 2 hours 😆
@Max Payne yeah teleportation spam lol
mrllama such a pro^^ speedrunning an rng game like this while explaining everything he's doing... how does his mouth keep up
I love llama, been watchin him for years. just discovered GDQ last week. An this vid of the Llama in the GDQ.....#blessed
love the run, love the runner. Hope Llama be back next year!! Meanwhile, twitch and YT are there for our pleasure!
lol, llama was so disappointed when he had to play necromancer
!SPOILER ALERT! The "moo's" in the not so secret cowlevel is recordings of random employees at Blizzard.
There is no cowlevel.
Love the Mitch Hedberg reference at the beginning
this guys commentary is fantastic
Liking the Mitch Hedberg use to, to joke at the start
I've watched it like 30 times
Mmmm, nostalgia. Now let's get someone to speedrun Path of Exile at GDQ!
its gotta be zizaran
¡Grande Mr Llama! Y con mi personaje preferido del juego. Impresionante. Muchas gracias.
Holy shit I just watched almost 2 1/2 hours of someone playing D2...
Diablo 2 is a game like you want to play over and over again after few years. I first played using a Paladin then a Barbarian then an Amazon. Now watching this, I want to try a Necromancer.
All this time, and I never knew the Ancients had random weapons.
yep! the amazon's valkyrie summon gets random gear too, and i think blood raven (might just be her bow)
Same with the Valkyrie and probably the Blade Master as well
@@siosilvar
Haha I knew the Valkyrie summon had random gear cos my dad, years ago when he used to play this game, used to use various different bots and maphacks and one of them let you look at the gear that other players had equipped, and it let me look at the Valkyrie's items.
Absolute god in diablo 2 world.
I didn’t understand how it was possible to close the 21 level normal .
but it's cool. Cool video .
I just started playing the game after 17 years.
Ive played D2 since day one.
it is nice to have somebody else other than mrLlama explain the game from the couch.
Llama really doesn't excel at making all these details easy to digest, since he plays the game all day just chatting with people who know D2 already
When the hell did keanu reeves get so popular 😂 I'm not complaining but he's been dope forever
He is indeed, but there has been some new hype because of Cyberpunk, the new CDPR Game.
Because of the Cyberpunk announcement
@@chesterra That's just the latest thing. Keanu became popular again after John Wick, and he's ended up the source of a few pretty good memes lately.
@@chesterra But the original, bigger hype was from the popular John Wick-movies. And merging well-known actor with highly anticipated game in total secrecy... Also, don't forget the movie Johnny Mnemonic, must see movie for any cyberpunk-fan. Included many of the tropes from the original rpg.

john wick > fortnite > cyberpunk > sweetheart and memelord in that order
Diablo's probably the most interesting speedrun seeing how RNG maps makes every run different
6:22 almost godly summon nec wand
Grab the socket quest in act 5 and make bone. You=winning
I didnt know stamina potions could be stacked hahaha
Awesome run! :) Thank you Llama and GDQ.
That Mitch Hedburg joke! :)
You can tell he didn't have much hope for the cow level incentive when he trashed the cube.
Josh Milam I think he pissed of a lot of doctors without brothers who didn’t donate this run
16 seconds into the run and there's a mitch hedberg joke. I'm hooked.
There are so many tongue-in-cheek jokes in here Llama, nicely done :)
Diablo 2 best ARPG game of all time, still has a big and active community, arguably more than D3.
Not arguably, definitely.
Favorite new streamer. I just found him from hims D2R youtube, but that repurposed Mitch Hedburg joke at the beginning sold me. "I used to hate Necromancer... I still do, but I used to, to"
AMAZING ! I feel nostalgic as fuck right now remembering my childhood memories playing this game.
Great run Llama! You are the man!
Its amazing game still kinda holds up
but makes me appreciate PoE all the more
Them quality of life changes eh?
1:54:27 - just add Greater Multiple Projectiles and you'll be fine!
All hail the Path of Exile reference
I seriously played d2 after years of poe, man the references GGG took from d2 are massive. Like the skill level scaling system, weapon dmg affix mods , resistance capping at 75 etc :D
playing my childhood game
around the 18 minute mark the vendor was selling a 2 to teeth wand and he didnt notice but he highlighted it, damn
disregard he noticed it but couldnt afford it, thought he was rushing
MrLlamaSC, you're breathtaking! :))))
AMAZING brother
1:15 Is that a Mitch Hedberg reference? :)
28:42 i did that with ghost armor i was gonna make a smoke and wasted a lum(the highest rune i had at the time)
Its amazing a 19 year old game is still popular.
TheT0nedude no contest vs diablo immortal
Got a ber rune D2R cow level while watching this. I almost cried, never had that high a rune drop personally.
The worst part is my computer wouldn't take a 30 second recording. Guess I should just have it rolling.
Man you are so great. I play this game for months. And finally i face Baal. And i'm stuck there, and i decided to stop playing.
Man he reads fast as hell.
after a while, you just kinda know where the affixes land and how long the various ones are. they become shapes more than words, after 17k hours im sure hes not reading anything anymore
Man, the music. Always awesome
awesome run, those boots :O
here is shocker Necromancer is my favorite character back in the old days i made one to lv 84 :D blood Golem iron maiden is specially good fun to use.
I loved the Necro too, summoning Necro especially. But I could never get the Iron golems to work right. Remember how you were supposed to be able to customize the golem a bit by casting the summon skill on weapons or armors with with particular stats?

Maps were so goood on this run
Hello llama glad he dropped by
very entertaining commentary
Nice run dude
Llama ftw
Nice job playing
What a game! They don't do anything like that anymore! *sobs
At two hours I'm usually still farming runes at countess since I have no luck what so ever.
25:05 funniest gdq moment ever
1:32:40 for the waypoint slip. He pressed the Quest key (Q) a second later for some reason, hence the confusion
I saw it as it happened and wondered if he tagged it. Turned out it was relevant.
Its funny listening to the mouse clicks. i remember when i was a kid playing this and me and my brother destroyed the mouse of our family's computer. mom was mad :D
MrLlamasc, supporting such a good charity. How can these doctors go without brothers for so long.
