Then spirit shield (I got one by trading my nm forge, I think)Įdit: How did you have 300~350 life? This is way too little, even if you are trying to block. This is what I used when I started teleing hell andy/meph, if I recall correctly: Also, you don't need uber gear to tele meph. The maps are smaller though, making teleing much quicker.Īlso, the outer outer wall is almost always the walls where the WP is. Fana tainted is almost as bad as maulers, (but not quite) and there are always vampires on level 3. Andy dropped me 3 occys already too.Īndy is not that much safer.

I did find stuff like shako, nos coil, dungo, etc from meph and council. I have a shako dropping from hell meph before, and THAT'S encouragement.Ĭlick to expand.What? An arach? I have done over 100 runs and still can't find one of those. You call this encouragement? I call this discouragement, since none of the set items are actually useful. This goes the same for pretty much all other indoor areas of the game. If not, bad luck and start exploring the middle. Hug the outer wall as people have suggested. You should also be able to tele into a pack, and out safely most of the time. (if you run out, pot) You can run a bit if it is nm, since you probably won't get killed. You should have enough mana to just hold the tele button if you are doing hell meph. Mana (insight helps, and mana pots if you really have to) If not, there are some problems with your gears.įaster cast rate (which you have 70% and that's enough)įaster hit recovery (unless you are blocking and have a good shield) Have you tried teleing Andy and see whether you can survive that trip? (maps are smaller, but not much easier to tele in survivability) Well, it seems like there are 2 problems posted: P.S Yes, authentic picture of drops by hell mephisto in one of my runs, all at once.

It's always harder putting into words, if someone can introduce me an alternative to FRAPS (that will not get me banned on bnet) I can do a mini video on how it's done.Ĭlick the link below for more encouragement to take on Durance 3 Read my guide for survival tips in Durance 3 (currently stickied) Eitherway doing it systematically is statistically easier and FAR MORE LESS CONFUSING. Depending on your luck, 1/10 of the time I can get there within 5 teleports (No maphack.) Some might be shorter, some might be longer, some might be MUCH longer. So when teleporting always stick with the outermost (I mean the OUTER OUTER OUTER most wall.) Select a pathway and stick with it either going clockwise or anticlockwise (your preference). The entrance to durance 3 is almost always by the outerwall. Teleporting from here to there will get you no where as the map is randomly generated (even though it's not as random as one would think) The key point about teleporting to Durance 3 is do it systematically instead of relying on pure instinct. Believe me, it's far easier than you think.
