1000 Andariel Runs to Gear a New Character in Diablo 2 Resurrected
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 08. 2024
- I ran Andariel (H) 1000 with a new budget sorceress to see how geared I could get and determine if Andariel is worth running. The video is a summary of the runs and highlights from all the drops, as well as gear progression for the sorceress from super budget to pretty well geared. The video ends with a summary of the final stats and gear for the sorceress.
Andariel drops A LOT of jewelry. I like to include all rings and amulets in my loot highlights since they're fun to identify, but this time I had to cut most of it out or I would have had a 30+ minute video with half of them being Manalds and Dwarf Stars.

I made a mistake at 0:12 - Diablo can not drop every item in the game.
But close!
Mausoleum and Crypt are the earliest all-item areas but very low monster density. Next up is the Pit, I believe, but enemies in overland are pretty dangerous.
You FOOL! What kind of loot goblin are you? A stinky widdle liar? For shame...
@@kosterix123 Pit archers are dangerous in HC bc of might
Love that you emulated a new hell sorc by starting with starter gear.
Really appreciate showing the roll variables
I'd be happy with these runs. Went from super budget to pretty much end-game gear, minus one or two items. Not GG ofc, but you'll be comfortable to run a lot of things. Fun stuff!
Just didn’t have a life
HAHAH END GAME GEAR! There is no end game.
Love your videos man. Your voice, editing style, and everything makes for such a good experience. Thank you!
Thank you! That makes me super happy to read.
My first character in DR2 Resurrected is a Javazon. Easy character to build since she is a missile-type player. After leveling her up to over 90lvl, she switched to Magic Finding. She ended up finding enough items to make a Fist of Heavens Paladin. She found an Soj and traded to get an Soj. Gave both to the Paladin. He now is over 90lvl, and hits Andariel 2 times and she dies
You can kite her to the bottom corner of her room, cast hydra then teleport over the wall to the stairs, the hydra will keep hitting her and she won't move, then just teleport back over, reset hydras and go back to the stairs, repeat until she's dead, don't need all that poison res and can stack extra mf on rings
Does this mostly avoid having to kill her minions too? That’s what takes the most time.
You can also just lure her to the door, then cast hydras on the door, half will spawn on the other side of the door. Works with blizzard as well :)
@@PumpingIron247can't speak for the sorc because I haven't played her in years but on my necro it's golem - bone prison - iron maiden stand back while she kills herself 👍
I know everyone has their own skill levels, but you really should be able to handle her with a hybrid build, or a focused built without much trouble.
If you struggle with skill (I still do when I come back to the came), here's a few tips:
-A couple bonus points in static will help you immediately reduce her health.
-Clear out the front of her room before engaging (not the middle room. never go in there)
-If your merc dies instantly, spending more time farming some runewords for him is well worth the trouble. Stack your belt with more health pots than mana pots to make sure you both stay alive!
-Level up! If you aren't as good as you want to be, hit 90. Get some extra life and merc life. There's a potential you find some good loot while leveling too!
The one thing I would NEVER suggest is trying to slowly grind a boss down. Hydras are terrible for quick boss kills until you're geared. (I'll admit, maybe I'm outdated here. But Hydras have never been good for high DPS with non-godly gear)
Damn, makes me want to play D2 again.
I remember I would farm NM Andy thousands of times for soj and it never dropped...my bro was like just do hell you'll at least have chances of getting other good items... first hell run in dropped soj lol... let's just say I don't run NM Andy anymore
I can't get my character beefy enough for hell though
@@elijahskywalker611 I recommend running nm mephisto until you’re beefy enough for hell. He can actually drop some really good end game loot.
@Elijah Skywalker what platform you play on?
@@NinjaNerosis I'm on pc Americas
@@zarfen thanks for the advice, great channel btw
Having only recently gotten into D2 (having known of it and casually played for 20 years), I am also in favor of that Valk Wing helm :P
Any good gear for Zon is an insta-favourite since she scales with enemy count. I just love it XD good vid btw
Edit: Showing the roll ranges is a great edit!
Yeah I don’t know what it is with valk wing… I think you’re right, I have an affinity for many zon items too :P
Thanks! :)
Much easier to obtain for a javazon than that diadem or whatever people are using, throw a socket into it and a perfect lightning facet and you should be good. I also have that elite javelin with lightning pierce, plus a conviction aura on my hireling and a wand with lower resist charges pretty much deals with every lightning immune i find. My entire gear combined is worth less than that diadem, still completed Hell players 8 solo, so who cares about it.
I just looted one today . ofc its +1 to skills -_- fuc. I almost had something I could trade
@cleetz 😞unfortunate! I’m not a fan on there being roll ranges for super important things like +skills. Rolling low on +skills feels so bad!
Yes! Thank you! A new release! I could only watch the other vids on repeat for so long!
This is the inspiration I need to sit down and do another boss grind fest with D2R on my switch on my couch!
Thank you so much Tim, your support is truly and greatly appreciated!
I love D2R on the switch! It’s just too bad you can’t sync offline characters between that and pc. Haven’t touched the switch since I started making these videos.
Love your channel. Thanks for showing me what I miss out because of so much work 😢😂
Thank you so much, Narago! Hehe im happy to help with that 😁
2:15 this game has been out for almost 2 years and i still marvel at the great job the team did on the graphics
Haha 😂 agreed!
Honestly i wish instead of Diablo 4, just make a new game where mechanics are the same but new maps, bosses, quests, gear and classes. My issue with D3 was the feel of the game was way different. D2 was all about the loot and how hard it was to get it. I could not even tell you a single name of an item in D3 because 70% of the time you would find something better the next day
@@Hallowsaw you don't remember because you never looked up a powerful build and then farmed to get those items, you never had the top tier stuff. I can tell you everything about my frenzy barb off the top of my head, even then 3 perks I have in Kanai's Cube, because it's built for a purpose.
@@ryanmiskin8925 my point was even in the begining of D2 you had to farm. Had to farm rakinishu fof low sets, gull dagger. Had to farm andareal to get gear for mephisto. Then you had to farm mephisto and diablo normal to get gear for nm. Then cows for socketables. Like you were constantly going to different places and sometimes even backtracking to nm once in hell to more efficiently faem meph and diablo for the exceptional uniques that were hard to find. Idk i thoroughly enjoyed d2 and playing on single player was very enjoyable because when you found something good it was so rewarding since you didnt trade foe it. Like linding a Lo rune in single player is dang near impossible but i found one.
LMAO, 2 years ?
Woaw that's a very long time for video game... 2 whole years ?
I saw your last 1000 run vids and been waiting for another one! Glad its here. Gonna need more from you :P
Thank you TJ! I’ll make more for sure :)
Meh, it's fake. The drops, he edits them to drop, uses drop rate calculator online to decide which drops to edit in over the course of "1000" runs, then splices together a bunch of clips with the edited drops.
Zarfen I really enjoy your video style, nice runs!
Thank you! That makes me really happy to read!
I haven't played this game since before the skills even had synergies.
All my life I thought that Bald of Ali Baba was a RUNEWORD, cause I only ever saw them with IST, IST in them. I even owned 2 that I traded for. I was even trying to make my own for a while but I never, EVER found even 1 IST rune.
I can't believe I never knew they are just regular uniques.
I've gotten multiple occys and shakos from Andy. as an soj and mid runes. Andy is always a good choice and with a sorce I'd run Andy and methodical until I've got good enough gear to incorporate diablo then do all 3 bosses per game. Now I have some of the strongest versions of every class fully geared
You're a virgin
I love running andy. I always prefered her over mephisto. The dolls in Durance alone are so damn annoying that I usually ran Andy until I have ocu-viper-shako-lidless-magefist-goldwrap and then i swapped to TC85 for Tal armor/amu/DF. When I can't even run andy at the start of a ladder, I usually went for meph only on NM, because NM andy drops basically nothing (except for statistically SoJ, but in like 15k andy-runs in my life, I have not once found one there.)
I’m usually a meph guy, but after these runs I’m not sure which I like more for new characters.
Catacombs is such a nice place compared to durance, that’s for sure!
@zarfen especially since the drops are so similar. Andy is TC69 and meph is TC78, and the only items that could be considered important that meph drops, but andy doesn't is reapers toll(TC71) and (ironically) andariels Visage(TC75). If you're going for a grail, sure, meph can drop more items, but basically, any gear that's actually useful can drop from Andy.
NO WAY!!! GG!!! :D !!! (specially on the tals amulet that's unreal!!!)
I don't play D2R but still love these videos. I will grind D4 though, and looking forward to lots of videos from that game from you! You have a great thing going here and if you do D4 loot videos consistently from release, I bet this channel could grow A LOT. Ha det bra!
Thank you so much for your comment! I’m definitely going to play D4. If I’ll make videos for D4 or not depends entirely on what the end game loot grind is like. In the beta the gameplay was fun but loot felt only okay imo. It was just a beta though so I’m hopeful!
Tack detsamma, glad påsk 😁
@@zarfen What your opinion about D4 now?
@@user-wy6se6dp2n I enjoyed it a lot during the beta weekends, but then when I played it after release I got bored very quickly. I don’t even know exactly why but doing quests, dungeons and finding new items just didn’t feel exciting to me.
@@zarfen I am old diablo fan but 4 looks boring even on videos.
I cannot imagine the determination and effort of doing Andariel 1000 runs then there is no SOJ. I am a newbie and I would like to try this one too.
Gave you a 👍 for that nice little edit at 2:15
Thanks! 😁 glad you liked it
I have played D2 religiously for 20 years, and I somehow never knew there was an “advanced stats” tab. Wow.
It only exists in D2R! In the original we had to count our own FCR and MF 😅
That must be why I never thought to look for it lol
i thought i was the only one not getting any soj from andariel haha nice run tho. 👍
Not a single soj in sight! 😔 will I have to resort to running nm Andariel? Plz no…
Thanks! 🙂
@@zarfen they do say its in NM, I tried with 500 runs around 300 mf, nothing but manald hahaha! but the ring drops was a lot more compared to hell, i guess luck was not on my side haha
@@パトイ damn! It’ll come eventually :)
Got a soj on the way to Andy once, but directly from her never😂
Perfect Bonesnap is nice, upgrade it into an exceptional, put a socket into it, sheal rune, and you having something that can easily last you till the end of nightmare. All that damage potential for lvl 34.
Yeah it kind of deserves to be put to use doesn’t it!
perfect bonesnap isnt useless, cube it up a tier and its absolutely godly twink weapon.
Until IK Maul that is.
Really accurate recreation of the first Nagel find
that ruby jewel of fervor drop is huge!! I was surprised you didn't make a hoto for the character with the vex (even before the pul) or start with a spirit monarch
flickering flame is quite nice for farming andariel, though
Yeah it was sweet! I wonder if I will use it or if I get “too good to use”-syndrome, always waiting for a better item to use the jewel on.
I’m planning on making a pure fire sorc with sundering charm for terror zones in the near future, that was also a partial reason I made flickering flame with the vex.
@@zarfen ethereal andariel's visage with a good leech roll should be the perfect home for the jewel!
@@87539319 I’ll be on the lookout for one for sure!
@@zarfen lightninng is almost always faster clears
Ive watched this all the way through 3 times now, and every time I feel anxiety from watching his health drop over and over from the poison damage. Haha
Haha 😁 to be honest I did die a few times after letting my health drop really low and not noticing a left-over enemy sneaking up on me while identifying loot
Try watching 1000 times and tell us what will drop.
A fellow crown enjoyer for helmet runeword bases I see, now you have my attention.
Crowns are my #1 right now. #2 is probably skull cap because they look funny.
Tiaras/circlets are so mid/late 2000’s 😜
@@zarfen Crowns are my favourite, but the bone helm still holds an edgy place in my heart.
@@zackbryans4982 ah yeah that’s a good one too! Looks sick in resurrected
dont forget to mention terror zone andy is probably one of the best terror zones in the game
A lot of people says that! I haven’t done too many terror zone runs myself yet, but I did take a short detour to terrorized Andy in my last 1000 pindle runs video and she dropped nicely then so I believe it 😅
Bones snap was my favorite weapon when I was a kid!
I love that they changed the weapon model so it looks like it does on the inventory screen!
Nice! A fellow loot goblin :)
Loot goblins unite 🤝
@@zarfen yes ! 🤝
Trevlig video! Jag har precis börjat köra D2 igen efter 20 år =)
Tack 🙂
Nice! Hoppas spelet välkomnar dig tillbaka med bra loot.
i like how stupidly you like loot and your accent is very nice. and your videos arent full of cringey filler ty
Haha thanks! I DO love loot 😁
Andariel has one of the best boss arenas in my opinion love the setting.
That jewel was a BANGER!
This was super fun to watch.
Thank you! That makes me so glad to read.
I usually do andy to gear the sorc, and then meph to gear other chars until I can come into Chaos Sanctuary.
or go javazon if you get plvl'd and just do cowz
I wa so tired of running lower Kurast for high runes (never got anything higher than OHM). Then I misclicked ans was on NM instead of Hell. My very good LK patern was destroyed. So I went for NM Andariel. After 7 runs I had a Stone of Jordan. No luck with LK but a lot of luck with NM Andariel :-).
Good video and commentary . Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the kind comment!
In Diablo 2, a tricky way of shopping solves most problems of the character’s weakness. The best aim is to regularly try to buy items from all in the rouge encampment. Then you can check on magical items for your character, and those you hire. Later, you can buy socketed items, leaving the sockets empty. When you repeatedly complete some quests, your gem stones can be imbued to the biggest size, then your socketed items will become the most powerful. That’s for Barbarian.
"Stay awhile and listem"Decard kain.
Keep up the great work man! I wish Andy dropped better items but I feel like she's only really useful for target farming specific items or jewelry.
Thanks!
Yeah for general magic finding she has tough competition from Meph.
If a SOJ is what you're after, farm NM Andy. She has a better chance of dropping it than Hell Andy does.
Tackar för underhållningen
Full send on Andy tonight got a Shako so thats pretty nice =D.
to even reach hell on single player offline is a feat 90% of mankind won't ever get to experience.
Finish campain solo on hell is not that hard tbh you just need to farm some gear or runes
Rare caster ring was best thing you found
Was it that good? I guess I’m bad at rating rare items. I’m definitely going to use it on many characters though :)
what time was that in the vid pls? i somehow missed that lol
Andy has always been a breeze for my fire/fury werewolf druid on high party member setting its the act 2 boss and diablo that gave me issues on my first runs. Idk why peeps hate on the fury werewolf. I'm flying through everything except those couple of bosses.
This man out here doing everyone's homework. God bless him!
I always play D2 casually until recently one of my newly created character found 3 pieces of Tal Ra Sha on first run in hell difficulty. Now I'm farming like crazy to get the other pieces. It's a torment to say the least...
The armor and the amulet can be so hard to find… good luck, the set is awesome! I finally finished the set with the amu I found during this video, but haven’t tried it out yet in D2R
Tal armor is a pain in the a.. I have played diablo 2 as teen regularly for several years. Had dozens of lv 90 chars. Bought resurrected and played some month a sorc. I found first time in my life the armor in the act 2 tomb in the first region which now has high lv mobs. Insane drop rates did this game have.
wow vamp gaze, eth ga AND a freaking 15ias/26fire res?!
haha your merc would've been excited
Haha true! And I probably could have kept him alive with that gear but I didn’t think of that
That’s actually a decent lld trap ammy lol
Didn’t even think of that! Unfortunately this was in single player so it will be a leveling ammy at best. Thanks for pointing it out though!
Imho a pure blizz sorc > fire sorc for Andy. She has low fire res yes. But everyone in her room is immune to fire. Pure blizz kills then all aside from the rare cold immune uniqe mob.
That’s exactly how I feel after doing this, well put.
You can kill Andariel behind the door if you never open it. You can lure her with teleport to the door and cast spells that fall behind the door and kill her
Yeah I saw a video of that. Cool tactic but it seems like it would take a lot of time to lure her? I didn’t try it though so maybe it would have been a good strat!
Great video! How long did it take you to complete the 1000 rounds ? Cheers.
Thank you!
Somewhere between 15-16 hours. But once I had some decent gear and got into the flow of the runs I was doing a run in 30-45 seconds, while early on a run could take 2 minutes if there were a lot of monsters around Andariel.
the real weaknes of andariel is that you can "bug" her to get dropquest on each kill
but even that doesnt make her that good as a target, any random area 85 will be as easy to farm and much better
That bug has been fixed in D2R. She now always gets her good drop.
@@zarfen a way to have an ester egg of an old bug, i guess
but doesnt change that it's a shitty farming plan :P
I get more from killing bosses then 85 areas tbh
@@widget-og3ix area 85 are just unbeatable until you are hight enough so the lvl of the tz area catch up yeah
then it's just a matter of "the fastest area to reach with the most of elite pack"
RNG is funny. I found 2 Gfaces lately, and the last Magefist I found I didn't even pick up since I've seen so many. But I'm looking for Ravenfrost like crazy, never found one in months.
Haha yeah it really is… Hope one drops soon!
Can you make a video about running the ubers for torches, and a guide for very, very poor-mans version on how to run it?
I was thinking about doing that as a follow-up to my key running video but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I might still do it but I don’t have such a video planned atm. I’m sure there are plenty of budget Uber videos if you search though.
I hate RNG, I feel like three charms that close together shouldn't happen... you have some crazy luck!
I found a crazy amount of Gheeds in this video for sure! D2 really has truly RANDOM loot
My favorite class is the druid, specifically the wind druid. I don't play at all but the release of d4 makes me want to play again.
Don't. It's just nostalgia. The game stinks now.
i like them bone shields too.
It’s sad in a way that ‘spirit’ has made almost all these cool unique and set shields obsolete
Plus the fact that you can bug her to get her boosted loot drop bonus . . . Not really sure if it's really a bug at this point though. . .
That is no longer present in Diablo 2 resurrected. She now always drops her good drop (what used to be her bugged drop)
Cool video! About how long does it take you to complete these 1000 run videos?
Thanks! The runs took 15-16 hours. Early on a run took upwards of 2 minutes but in the end a run could be as short as 35-40 seconds.
I love farming Andarielle, she's easy to find the fight isn't hard and I got Tal Amulet, the Oculus, mage fist, 2 shakos and more. I hate Mephisto because of his dungeon and dumb exploding dolls.
I agree 🤝
In general blizzard works rly good to run andy because of all the immunes
These videos are great man! Thank you doing this with budget builds and showing how to properly upgrade with game progression. Can't wait to see the next one!
P.S. I cringed hard at your health at 13:00
Why let it get that low?!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like that because I’m having a lot of fun making these “budget gearing” videos. How awesome is it to be able to get excited for a Tarnhelm in 2023 😁
Hehe once my poison resist went so low that health potions barely out-healed andariels poison I stopped healing after she was dead to make fewer potion trips to Akara.
(I did die a few times while identifying loot though 😅)
I like your positive attitude. Most of the time when I find many of the things you mentioned, I am disappointed. But maybe I should value the stuff more. Thank you for the motivation.
I would still be interested to know how many hours it needed you about to do those 1000 runs, if I may ask.
Thank you, Philip! I appreciate your comment. I found that I’m much happier about the drops in general when I’m playing a budget/self found character so that more items are upgrades. I think I might start doing that much more.
These runs took about 15-16 hours. I did 1000 mephisto runs (also budget gear) and that took a bit over 16 hours. 1000 pindle runs(mid geared character) took~12 hours IIRC.
I dread the day I decide to do 1000 Diablo or Baal, that’s gonna take A LOT longer
@@zarfen Thank you so much. That information helps a lot, to see how much time I will have to invest roughly.
NP, good luck with the runs!
Getting gullwing is nice as well. Not sure if drop rate is better of her or cold crow but that dagger is amazing
Yeah gull is nice! Very rare though, especially in the late game. I don’t know the in and outs of the drop rng but as far as I understand it’s “too low level” that most bosses in hell have a super small chance for it.
Enjoyed your vid mate. Is this eternal realm or single player?
Thanks! This was single player so I had a static map which was nice for teleporting in the catacombs but no changes to /players settings
Get a radaments sphere pretty much makes you immune to poison
Great content, man, so sad there was no SoJ in there :/
Thank you! Yeah a bit of a bummer. I might have to go and farm NM Andariel if one doesn’t drop soon…
If you want soj nm andy is the way to go less loot to compete with
That rare ring is purty
It’s awesome, but the loot goblin in me always thinks “if only it had some magic find”
What is the highest rune catacombs level 4 and Andariel can drop?, yesterday i found a Sur Rune and the zone wasn't terrorized.
Nice video and great results from those runs. How long did that take you? I think it would take me at least 80 hours of game play...
Thank you! The runs took about 15-16 hours. Andariel runs can be pretty fast and I do try to be efficient when doing these or it would take much longer.
@@zarfen Wow, yeah you have that down to under a minute per a run! That is quite a bit faster than I could manage. I get very distracted by random loot. I am itching to play the game again, but it really does suck up way too much time for me 😂
@@fredrichardson9761 when I don’t have a clear goal (like doing 1000 runs for a video) I also pick up WAY too much random loot and play quite slow in general 😁
I knew I knew you from somewhere... are you the guy who does Military History Visualized?!
I’m not, but now I gotta go listen to him. Maybe I can steal some commentary ideas!
Jokes aside, I don’t have another CZcams channel or other “media content”, must just be similar voices.
how can u not handle H Mefisto with sorceress? as soon as u get teleport and firewall, u're done.
Awesome video. How lo does it take to run Andy 1000 times ?
Thank you! It took me between 15-16 hours of play time (including load times and character select screen)
Runs were much faster once I got a little bit of gear and learned how to lure her where I wanted her to go so it depends on your starting point.
Why is it so hard to get decent nightmare level drops even in late nightmare?
What do you mean by "You usually want the other ruby jewel"? That 15IAS 26 fire res jewel is worth quite a bit for putting into a merc's eth andys visage. Wouldnt be surprised if it was worth an ohm+
Jewels with % enhanced damage and ias are also called Ruby jewel of fervor, that’s what I was referring to 🙂
Great video :)
Thank you!
you should make a HOTO with the VEX and PUL
more skill points
more FCR
more resistences
As I said in the video: It would have been a better upgrade for this character but I wanted to make flickering flame since I never had that RW before.
Those are some okay drops. :P !
I like the flickering flame but not a fan of the helm .. shoulda used a horn helm or a cap
If I didn’t go for a crown I’d consider a horned helm or maybe a bone helm, but a regular cap? No way! 😜
how do u get Tal Rasha 4 Part Bonus without the helmet ?
In LoD, The Pit and Andariel both were good places to start. I've found ALL of my Stormlash Scourges in The Pit. And that was using a BOT.
The pit is great. The issue I always had with the pit as a “starter” area is that if you’re weak the runs are so slow. From my experience you find more “mid” stuff and early upgrades for a new character faster from act bosses.
Might be fun to try a “1000 pit runs to gear a new character” in the future
@zarfen all monsters in the pit can drop level 85+ items though, so it's really kind of more efficient to farm than Andariel. Andariel is good for jewelry though on LoD.
I don't know if Resurrected changed the RNG at all though, so I don't know if the drops are different at all.
@@Nervii_Champion yeah I’m 100% with you. Just saying if you’re on a fresh char with really slow killspeed you will get more uniques faster from act bosses which mean more “mid” upgrades faster since you can go through many boss packs in the pits without a unique. I think that’s worth it for a few upgrades even if you can’t find every item from act bosses.
Nothing wrong with going straight to the pits if your char can handle it though!
@zarfen it's better to hunt with a party each with a different character and give the items to whatever character needs them. As with life though, not everyone has friends in a video game either.
Why no merc?. An Insight and that VGaze and Guardian Angel wouke be lovely
Partially because I started without one and I was a bit lazy to get one later, but also because kiting Andariel away from monsters became a big part of my strategy and a merc would have messed with that. If I were to go back now I’d use one though for sure
A merc will just die if you do not have the gear for him andy will just rek it in 2 seconds so waste of gold
Do you pick up the unique claws and barb helms? I noticed you skipped over them but that might just be lost in editing. Some of those claws can be very good with the right skills/IAS rolls.
I do! But this time none of them were anything noteworthy. I think the best claw was a +3 to LS and as for barb helms I don’t even remember any decent ones dropping 😅
Andariel did drop A LOT of assassin claws though, wonder if that is RNG or if she drops them this often but I haven’t noticed before.
I’m sure I missed ID’ing some of them though while focusing on the recording.
Im level 18, barbadian job. why i never found green items. like the old days. i used to play diablo ii lord of destruction (2004-5) and easily found green & golds item like u in this video. :(.
notes: i play offline mode & expansion pack
Kill Andariel a few more times and get some increased magic find on your gear. Imo it’s not really worth to grind for set and unique items at level 18 but if you want to I think act bosses are the best bet
It’s also very random. Some of my characters find 2-3 unique items in all of normal, some find 5 already in act 1
@@zarfen Okay sir, i guess i'll grind harder next after lvl 30/40+. thank you for the help and replies! u're awesome!
I run her because it's a chance for fire builds to feel like a god.
12 second triggered the fk out of me.... diablo is t84 treasure monster in 85 lvl zone, so he can't drop all items. Apart of that, good vid as usually.
Diablo is a lvl 94 monster in a level 85 area but his TC is only 84? I did honestly not know that and I guess I still have things to learn about d2 loot “under the hood”. Thanks for pointing it out, too bad it’s printed in the video... 😬
2:07 nice it literally means nail Ring in german haha
me on run 7.... damm will try later :D
so you can only do this if you beat the game already? or can i just keep killing her and almost dying when i first get to her just starting out?
Yeah you can farm her as soon as you get to her, as much as you want. That was kind of what I tried simulating in this video.
Though to be clear this was in hell difficulty so you need to beat normal and nightmare first. In normal difficulty I would not farm Andariel personally
I was a vanilla player (never got into LOD stayed on classic) After thousands of Andy runs, I looted two soj rings which were both stolen due to a hack when I was a teenager (lost control of my cursor and all my items got thrown on the floor) I deleted D2 and never came back.. brutal times
Old school 😎
That does sound brutal. I never got hacked but I got scammed a couple of times when trading online. One time I un-installed the game for quite some time but I always came back.
