Diablo 2: The Brother (And Sister)hood of EoFF

[VorpalCyberWolf]

Computer sucks, life distracting... from this point forward I am inactive unless by appointment. Lunar, if you would keep my chars alive I would be grateful. Ill be back, and Ill probably still post in here, but I figured I owe you guys an FYI.

[LunarWeaver]

But Koast and Chimney are the only two people who can stand me long enough to play characters D: With neither around, I have nothing

I will keep your peeps alive, but I hope you come back ;-;

How to Kill Meph

By making him an idiot

Likely, some of you know this trick already. However, for those that don't, I thought to pass such knowledge on.


What it is:
Undoubtedly, you are familiar with most (if not all) locations of the Diablo world. And so, as you likely recall, Mephisto lies at the bottom his Durance of hate, which happens to have a lovely pool and moat of blood. There is a bridge of corpses and bones that rises from this marvelous pool (when you come close to it), leading to the pulsing, spectral red vagina (sometimes called a portal - or if Lunar, replace "vagina" with "rectum").

Basically, you train our wonderful friend Meph to the rising pathway, as we teleport to the nearest ledge. Meph will then simply stand there and make noise, while we cast Meteor / Blizzard / Fist of the Heavens / Lightning / etc...

All the while, Meph sits there and stares malignantly at us, but does absolutely nothing to show that his noise is anything but frustration at his AI being terribly stunted.

So, in other words, we make Meph stationary - stupid.


How to do it:

Prerequisites
Need the skill Teleport
Need a ranged attack / skill

The steps are really quite simple:

1. Teleport to Meph
2. Lead him to the rising bridge
3. Teleport to the nearest ledge (by Teleporting across the moat)
4. Burn / freeze / zap / attack the idiot until dead

And that's it.


Obviously, since you are completely safe where you stand, this allows the player to stack a ridiculous amount of Magic Find items on their character.

Yes, with a well-built Hammerdin, Trapper, etc... you could do this with less steps and less time, but right now, we're all quite poor. Safety is nice.


Here is a video of such a trick being used

I made a character on Standard Hardcore just to get on the Ladder


I had totally forgotten that they used to have a option "Let this character loot your corpse." It's by like whisper and squelch and all that in your party menu. Lol, that's funny to me. So is the old stash size *shivers*

[Nominus Experse]

Look what I found...



And yes, I was also a Sorceress.

[Tavrobel]

Maybe I should update/upload my armory once more.

Just so I can make fun of each and every one of you.

EDIT: Valinoreva is now my second Ladder account, not Valarauko.

[LunarWeaver]

I need a smurfing Sol rune I tried trading my Hel for it, but nobody would bite. Not surprising, since everybody and their uncle seems to need a Sol lately.

Are you using a program to record your items Tav?

And oh my... a +3 Passive and Magic skills ammy... I would complain about you having a gargantuan ego-head, but my god, that doesn't withhold me from loving you.

Dammit, I need to play this game more often than I have been...

[Tavrobel]

Yes, it's called the "PrintScreen" key, Photoshop, and a paper and pencil.

You all need to play this game more often. the second highest person is Lunar!

[CimminyCricket]

I have a life.

[Giga Guess]

I'm gonna start logging on...but people will need to be patient with me. My connection here isn't as consistent as my old one was.

[LunarWeaver]

I have a life.

Well, you can stop that nonsense right now and have no life at all like me this instant.

[Tavrobel]

I have a life.

If you want items, you will give it up.

Unless you can find a way for Diablo 2 to produce vodka you're going to have to live with it.
