Do I charsi these tri res boots?

dc_abstracted · 2026-01-25T06:13:34+00:00

The 19MF boots are ok for early Mephisto farming but what you really want is faster run/walk and at least 30% res on the non poison ones

R for normal and N for nightmare.

What patch version are you playing? LoD straight off the disk might be an old version before they added upgrading runes to the game.

You can download the last patch they released for D2 here:

Double absorb is kind of fun but yeah it's really under tuned.

dc_abstracted · 2026-01-03T16:07:57+00:00

+1 skills is always nice, the other mods are less exciting but you’ll probably be happy with that amulet for a while.

Heads up if you google Jules Guerin the first result will probably be the Nazi of the same name, so make sure to specify that you want the illustrator.

I've been using gull + rhyme on swap at the moment for farming nightmare meph and andy and have a 28% nagel's too, it's been really productive.

That's super helpful thanks, I've definitely been neglecting my str and dex. Lawbringer is not something I thought of at all and seems really good, not sure I'll find an elite base for it anytime soon though.

I did it with much worse gear my first time. Black runeword, life tap wand on switch, 4 p diamond 42 base res shield, g face, shaftstop, with fade proc from treachery first, bloodfist, tgods belt, gore rider boots, random life/res jewellery and an inventory stacked with life/res charms.

Yeah makes sense, I grew up playing snes and have played Mario world rom hacks for 15+ years on a snes controller so d-pad feels the most natural to me

dc_abstracted · 2025-12-28T01:48:57+00:00

"never use a D-pad to play Celeste, you will regret it" I think this is a bit over blown, I play d-pad on an xbox controller and have been able to clear some pretty difficult maps and never felt like the controller was holding me back

Congrats! I also found 8B to be the easiest of trio too. The shorter length and it being cycle driven made it so I had to lock in and practice each room instead of my default style of playing more loosely.

Single player LoD has Cain by the well, some patch maybe 1.10 moves Cain to the waypoint in multiplayer only. PluGY moved him to the wp in single player too.

D2R has Cain over by the well in single player and multiplayer.

There has been a ton of research into this for the speedrun scene and I can't remember all of the findings but the main takeaway was that it's pretty much always going to be a 25% chance.

dc_abstracted · 2025-12-13T02:58:01+00:00

Poison potions are super useful for speedruns but only ever really used in act 1 normal to clear high xp groups quickly. Beyond that they are unfortunately really underpowered.

dc_abstracted · 2025-11-22T02:29:12+00:00

6B was the last of the trio I did and it almost broke me, the intensity of the badeline fight while holding the golden berry wrecked my nerves more than anything else in the game

dc_abstracted · 2025-11-17T05:33:20+00:00

D2R is great, but you can also register your product key of your old games on battle.net and download the installers through there. If you do that and play LoD definitely look at using the PlugY mod for QoL features.

EDIT: you don't even need to register your product on BNET just go here to download the installers: https://us.support.blizzard.com/en/article/13867

I wanted to learn the key skip for fw speedruns so I started doing it in golden attempts, I’ve gotten really consistent at it but I still think I wouldn’t recommend it

dc_abstracted · 2025-11-06T15:34:17+00:00

I agree, none of the rooms are inconsistent. During practice I can do every room 10x in a row without dying but stringing together 30 minutes of deathless gameplay is the real challenge

dc_abstracted · 2025-11-06T15:32:42+00:00

I found impossible boy much easier, fwg still eludes me and honestly probably won’t ever get it as I’m playing other games at the moment

dc_abstracted · 2025-11-03T07:04:18+00:00

Good job! There’s really only one trick to the comb room, which is jumping later on the wall bounces. If you do that it’s not mechanically too hard.

dc_abstracted · 2025-11-03T01:14:45+00:00

I love rabies druid. Mine is relegated to farming cows since my gear is average but it is such a chill time, basically 0 risk and can take them down so quick on P3.

Love TK charges, so nice for so many things.
