Back to forgotten mods

Instantly restores 100% life and stamina.

Another two powerful Mystery Eggs found - Treasure Hoarder/Treasure Maggot aka bye-bye Act V uber leveling...

...and, by far, the most useful Mystery Egg ingame - Gold Golem! (~810,000 gold from killing 1 summon pack on Nightmare - more than you can get from 1 Gauntlet run on Normal) :-D

You got the dream eggs, congrats Stealth

The Hell Mod also adds in a bunch of quests that were unfinished/unreleased by Blizzard, and later became cannon in Diablo II, or even as uberquests in Median XL. The Belzebub mod also has this, and is worth checking out for a nice little insight as to why games may cut content, beyond just budgeting.

Regardless, Andarial's lair is tough. Really... really.. tough. It was significantly easier for me because I was a sorcerer. The area inflict a constant life degen, and has nothing but succubi and mages. Mana Shield thankfully negated the health degen for how much natural mana regen I had. If I was any other class, I would not be doing this quest so early. I died several times before recording, and even changed my rings around a bit.

GG weapon for Hell...

...and another brick in

Now THAT'S a jewel

This will also become a jewel

Part 1: Hell Gauntlet completed, the whole run was easier than I expected. Hell Leviathan and Belial (main bosses) are no match for my wolf.
Apart from skillbooks and exp. bags Hell Gauntlet drops more Soul Hunter Medallion reagents than any other level in the mod. Also it drops lots of flawed class gems and many other useful thingies.

Part 2: Lesser Evils decide to take revenge on Prime Evils, so Duriel was sent to kill Baal

'Bow to me, Lord of Destruction'

Squishy Hell Baal is harmless for the Lord of Pain

Duriel skills: Charge and Holy Freeze Aura to prove it's not a fake Lord of Pain

Lazarus was (fortunately) much easier than attempting the second level of Andy's Lair.

Seems caster chars are not good in Nez mod I guess. Cuz I mostly see barb or druid.

Not really. Sorceress is also strong in the mod and can complete it way faster than barb/druid because of AoE spells.Considering the fact that you will mostly buff Energy or Vita (there are special armor for casters with lower str reqs), your average DPS will be a lot better (Lower Resists curse is accessible with no problem).

Also for my druid full physical immunities (Amplify Damage has no effect on them) and, especially undead stygian dolls (Iron Maiden on melee attack) are impossible to beat, cause my elementlal damage is low and you can hardly see iron Maiden curse on yourself when you're surrounded with already cursed enemies.

All in all, barb is a balance-breaking char in Nezeramontias because he has a skill that reduces vendor prices (in the mod which is based on gold find, this is very cheesy). Together with his passives he is like unholy paladin from MXL - has everything you need.

Apart from huge life pool (has 16k now) and superfast running speed wolf druid has no advantages over other chars. I have ITD but my %AR vs bosses is low -around 50-60% cth with already TONS of dexterity. I also have almost no defence - 93% ctbh by Hell Bovine in Hell difficulty. Also, low elemental damage, as being said before. So, for example, in order to survive in Hell Gauntlet (where Gauntlet Duriels take around 8k life from 1 hit - with lots of DR and %DR), an average caster would just respec all pts into vita (wolf has no need for respec). If your caster char can easily avoid being hit by stacking FRW - you can win the game as well.

Edit: Finally, monsters drop way more souls, suitable for caster classes. Literally, you will have a big variety of oskills where you can find curses, elemental spells, summons etc. Many 'caster-friendly' souls are dropped by uberbosses, thus they can be very powerful. As for melee chars, it's enough to get Hell Bovine and/or Smith/Hephasto soul to equip and be fine.

Za Hristosa !
