LF Plaguazon PWNS the Arcane for Key Running

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

I once heard someone say that a hammerdin Pwns the Arcane Sanctuary.

I tried the hammerdin. Hmm, not bad. But my LF Plaguazon was ripping
through there in record time and her spped left the Hammerdin in the
dust and crying for his mommy.

But although she ripped through there quickly she has not gotten a key
from the summoner.

She did get a key from the countess. And an UM rune. I think the UM
rune could come in handy for making a Crescent Moon for one of my barbs
who can share it with a Zealot.

I tried an IK barb for Nilly. (I can only go with the characters I have
at this time) The barb took too long jsut to get from the WP to the
stairs to level 3. The same Zon moved faster through there.

I swtiched back to the IK barb on level 3. Taunts the bbeasts away from
Nilly's area and dwindles his ranks down. Then he leaps in a few good
whollops from the IK mauls sends him away. He does not dance after the
quest has already been acheived. No key from Nilly yet.

Having fun and the wife has expressed an interest in key runnign and
going after ubers.

Howdy Adam,

A few notes.

Keys are not available in Single pLayer, only on realms.

Only avialable in Hell - countess, summoner, nihlathak

One key from each, put in cube while standing in Harrogath (hell).
Opens red portal.

Go kill an uber boss. Get body part.

Each uber boss drops a specific body part

Cube all thre body parts, open red portal to tristram.

Go kill uber diable, uber baal and uber mepf.

Good luck

That's why you only open the portals one at a time. You do them all in
the same game yes, but don't open a 2nd portal until you get the first
body part. That way if the game crashes, you'll still have the body
parts to show for it and some left over keys. It's probably what you
meant, but it may not have been clear to some people. : )

So, you're waiting for your wife to finish geting ready, and then you two are

A lightning trapper really cleans up there also.

Yeah, those lightning spires do walk pretty slow...

I often manage to get people to stop and beat them up, just for no other
reason than because they're there. And those fire turret thingies, too, and
the barricaded doors in act 5, even when there's another way around. It's
fun! We stop and smash barrels, too, even though we rarely get anything
good from them.
