[NERFED in 2.0.4] D3 Reaper of Souls: Manglemaw Legendary Farming Guide (Torment VI)

[@InSaiyan]

Ziggy the number 1 source for great tips in D3 keep up the great work bro

[@JakeChief]

ZIGGYD THIS IS AWESOME! Mate got a Skorn on 2nd run and i have gotten bits and pieces of loot as well. Its so sick!

[@yuanmeng2445]

Still works! Make sure you are in T6 and if possible, get a helm with a socket and place a good Topaz gem inside. A group of 4 players will make this run extremely faster. It can take a while until you drop something but it happens once in a while. Don't give up too quickly. Thanks OP!

[@Grievance87]

tried on t2 hc with my wizz, 4 legs in one hour :) thanks for the great tipp!

[@iiDWESTii]

Not nerfed, yet. Been using this farm method for awhile now before the release of RoS. Thumbs up on the vid tho and GL.

[@exitclimbing]

FYI - the personal mortar grenades go everywhere if you are too close. Back up and they target Manglemaw correctly.

[@coryserwa7674]

4/4: Just finished another 1 hour run to test if this is still working. 5 legendaries from 74 Manglemaw kills(Torment 5), 0 from the chest. Dropped on runs 5, 5, 8, 15, 67 (double leg drop on the 5th). So over the 2 hours I kept track of, 6% of the runs produce a legendary drop with a 35%MF gem in my helm.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Thanks for the report!

[@DiabolicNick]

That point where I thought that it was glitches but I was just wearing fire walkers XD

[@nureinkanal1234]

WUUUUUT how long you farm you eq? i want i too

[@knudmller2528]

How do you get 3 wolfs?

[@TheJoc94]

For xbox 360 you couldn't even get past that door without killing him any other place you can farm?

[@1MadDancer]

My only change would be to use Cull the Weak instead of Ambush as one of your passive abilities as a Demon Hunter. The reason being if you drop caltrops in a line away from you Manglemaw will constantly be slowed and take 20% addition damage for the entire duration of the fight, instead of just 40% damage for the first 25% of his health. You have plenty of time to set it up before Manglemaw appears and it does speed up kill time considerably, especially over a number of runs. Give it a try and see if it works for you =)

[@MrSammGEE]

Damn great guide man! Will be trying it and your builds on my DH when I get home. I have noticed my DH is just kinda underpowered - I don't have the expansion yet but am going to at some stage. I'm currently using bow/arrows. Would you recommend xbow/xbow?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

DH is pretty darn good in the expansion man, don;t worry about that. She scales extremely well with some of the legendaries and better gear. I'll put up another video soon with my new setup.

[@MrSammGEE]

Yeah, with this farming method ^ I have got myself a few more legendaries, and a lvl70bow with reduced level req. by 27 levels, which doubles my damage :D (got from a lvl70 friend). Still trying to sort the perfect build though, especially because I can't use vengeance. What should I use instead?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Preparation Punishment or Rain of vengeance can fill that slot pretty well.

[@MrSammGEE]

Yeah been using ROV - cheers man

[@KouyaYoshimoto]

cluster arrow/Loaded for Bear actually burns him down alot faster when u have vengeance up. I killed manglew in less than 10 seconds. Lose the caltrops (or the sentry). 75% CC is more than enough

[@Stitchmaniac2]

how was this nerfed exactly?

[@hopdo84]

Im a bit confuse, did they nerf his drop rate? killed him around 30-40 times on t4 solo and only got 1 unique plan

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Nope, no nerfs. Looks like you've just hit an unlucky streak!

[@LuLzezRoflcopter]

Really wanna get back into D3 after RoS but still don't see an overall goal of the game. After you reach 70 and can get through torment 6 what else is there to do? just keep beating torment 6 again?

[@KingAmazon]

2:40 "ZIGGYD IS HOLDING ME PRISONER PLEASE SEND HELP"

[@hotsushii]

How are you getting 3 wolves?

[@kuroneko5262]

that build is interesting, might check it with my dh. thx for the vid and build.

[@coryserwa7674]

4/7: Thought I would run another 1 hour test. Torment 5, 80 Manglemaw kills. 7 Legendaries, 2 from chest, 5 from Manglemaw. The first 40 minutes was pretty boring with only 1 drop from the chest but than it turned around with 6 legendaries in 20 minutes. I'm sure every hour won't see this many legendaries but having my first hour like this leads me to assume it hasn't been nerfed yet.

[@poffo954]

Has manglemaw drop rate been nerfed...?

[@stumpei]

Appreciate the vid man! Needed the human cartlidge for a shield recipe for my crusader! If you know where I can farm easily the angelic shards, let me know!

[@AllHailBlobs]

what is Ziggy's community?

[@topsecretjony]

LOVE YOU ZIGGYD

[@Ceigee]

Excuse the noob question but, how can you have vault and companion at the same time?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Options > Gameplay > Elective Mode Prepare for your world to change man!

[@Ceigee]

ZiggyD Gaming Thank you. I actually gave up on my DH cause I can't survive with out tumble and companion. But now I can. Time to farm for leg bows

[@peterhaex2253]

is this still working? trying it last night for a few hours, only got 6 crafting pieces..?

[@Jedibuds87]

In Campaign Mode, Manglemaw now only drops loot and gives XP before the player progresses to the Chancellor's Tomb quest JUST GOT NURFED

[@ZephWraen]

980k sheet dps? O_O' my monk is barely at 220k. Is there that big of a difference in gear at 70?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yeah, you'll quickly get to 500k and then with some work it's possible to go to 800k-1mill in reasonable time.

[@TheVeloreFog]

can you get Human Cartilage from any mode or does it have to be torment? all i want is the mats from him for now.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

I'm pretty sure they drop in any difficulty, but doing a few runs in T1 is pretty fast!

[@nickolasshults4131]

hell yeah 1.5 hours and 2 legendary's thanks for vid

[@Scoreman7769]

How do you have three wolves can you do that on console

[@bladeclanhalo3]

how do you get 2 wolves?

[@t3hjasoN]

Does Manglemaw drop certain legendaries or does he drop any legendary? I'm trying to find the Marauder set

[@ZiggyDGaming]

He will drop everything except the bounty cache-only legendaries. Marauders set included. I got the pants from him iirc.

[@kingoffongpei]

I'm not sure if this works anymore; I tried it today and when I leave the game and resume, he doesn't spawn when I go to him. Even worse, the portal doesn't pop up at all.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Are you on campaign? Did you make sure to grab the checkpoint before killing manglemaw? Should still be working.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Officially Nerfed now guys - RIP Manglemaw!

[@kevinchang54321]

is there any way else for legendary farming?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

By playing the game of course! haha, Torment 1+ rifts are the fastest way to get legendaries now. Unless some other method is discovered soon.

[@Demolishorx]

it still works just be fast and pass the iron door

[@TheGameTraiI]

How was this nerfed? Manglemaw is still there. Is the legendary dropprate nerfed?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

First they made it so that he would only drop loot the first kill in campaign - they reversed that when they implemented this: "Unique Monsters now use the same loot table as Champions." us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/12427063132 Basically they aren't nearly as lucrative. You can still farm him but it's not better than just doing rifts on normal.

[@caiovitorpereira]

ZiggyD, The bug is key for this build though isn't it? Once they remove it, all the fun will be gone D:

[@Almaraltus]

Hey Ziggy, there is a more efficient farming spot. I'll show you during stream.

[@kadiryeni861]

So man I haven't been playing for over a year and I want to start again. Can u help me up for me to get up to datr. Some advice maybe

[@Zonfiree]

Is this already fixed?

[@cablejunction2932]

i rly miss your poe vids!!

[@OGZeroLyfe]

well ive gotten 4 legs so far including a pretty nice pair of Firewalkers. the firewalkers will destroy the door when you walk back thru after a reset and manglemaw cant spawn so they are a no go for me atm

[@Koroistro]

just take them out before going throught the door and put them back later? What does it take? 3 seconds?

[@Ixiaz]

Farmed it for 4 hours yesterday and 2 today, gotten 1 legendary and a couple of cartilages i can't even use :P

[@Asag321]

How you get two wolves? Some legendary item?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

3* wolves and yeah cloak of the garwulf

[@Chomik3000]

Hey! Is it still works? Regards :)

[@DannyDeadHD]

Did it at T1 and got a legendary at first try :D

[@Eldalote59]

I'm pretty pissed off... I did this run with one mate yesterday in T4. He got legendary every 15/20mn and I got... nothing. Tried to do the same run in T4 today aaaannnnnd still got nothing. Am I a black cat or something like that ?

[@tianxuan0]

Has this method being patched yet?

[@coryserwa7674]

Still seems to be working. I just finished a 60 minute run. 76 Kills, Torment V. 712k/dps (with 30% SoJ) WD. I got 4 legs on runs 2, 4, 45, 56. 3 from Manglemaw, 1 from the chest.

[@Jotunhammer2011]

How do you get 3 wolves? I got 1 wolf and I wanna get 3.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Cloak of the Garwulf legendary!

[@poffo954]

What damage is pretty decent....? As barb. no shield.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

You could probably do T3-4 with 450k+dps

[@poffo954]

Ty a lot. Just startet up so still a ways to go.

[@freakshow112233]

in berserker against one target my barb hits 1.4mil dps, and kills in about 15 seconds

[@drozee5158]

How do you have 3 wolves up at one time? I only can have one up at a time :/

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Cloak of the Garwulf legendary.

[@drozee5158]

Ahhh thanks!

[@Ovalusify]

i died this for round about 2 1/2 hours and got 2 legendaries today. yesterday he dropped better. can anyone tell whether it got ninja-nerfed?

[@BlackPartyNight]

Ziggy how can i get more wolfs ?????

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Cloak of the Garwulf legendary!

[@Mushadra]

Is this still working?

[@Annarach]

As of the server coming back up on 4/8, Manglemaw now no longer drops anything.....sadness

[@karikoo3105]

nice trick thank you!

[@voiceoflove]

running this on t1 will get leg too ?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yeah but I don't think it's worth it. Give t3-4 a try if you cant manage T6.

[@GreenThumb27]

and manglemaw doesnt drop anything anymore doing this, fixed.

[@wallabror]

Did they nerf this already? Tried farming him for 1 hour and 30 minutes, got lots of the human carn-stuff, but only 1 legendary item.

[@Greedinreallife]

nope. just need more kills. Did this earlier today and got Firebird chest piece, a set neck, Tal Rasha's helm, 2 rings and a Grandfather sword after about 2 hours

[@Greedinreallife]

Just started farming him again and got a wand

[@wallabror]

Greed Davis I'm able to kill him in around 20 seconds, I guess I'm just having bad luck.

[@Greedinreallife]

wallabror What difficulty are you doing it on?

[@wallabror]

Greed Davis 5

[@gurraglad]

from like 10 hours of doing manglemaw on t5 or t6 ive averaged around 1 legendary per hour, killing him in 10-20 seconds. Got over a 120 of his crafting mats tho...

[@draakisback]

i got destroyed by him does it even work anymore?

[@DoraNahoj]

Yes it does

[@haftes]

how do you have 2 wolfs

[@ZiggyDGaming]

3 wolves! Cloak of the Garwulf.

[@zigzagpapers8]

i did this over 100 times on t6 yesterday, dropped one legend plan.. have much better success else where.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

RNG is going to RNG! Iim doing it right now, 6 legs in 1.5 hours.

[@zigzagpapers8]

ZiggyD Gaming I take it back Ziggy.. at that time it was taking me 20-30 seconds to kill him on my dh, after progress with Harrington waisteguard i could kill him in 5 seconds flat, over the last week he has dropped me over a hundred legs and some meaningful upgrades what's hard to come by at a million dps. Now he's fixed i hope you can come up with a new method!

[@TheKillzone9999]

are you on Asia o America servers and O see you followed my idea of socketing the chest :)

[@ZiggyDGaming]

US servers and thanks for the idea! Had pretty bad RNG and settled for 2 sockets.

[@TheKillzone9999]

ZiggyD Gaming Just did it on the communityfor 1hour got a legendary from a vase (lol) and 4 from manglemore

[@ZiggyDGaming]

gz man, pretty solid!

[@heckenjoni]

fixed ?

[@sebastianb9959]

i think hey fix it he spwans not all the time or?

[@DannyDeadHD]

I just ran it on T3 with 2 of my friends and got 3 legendaries in about 10 min

[@missmeeper]

Sad day, as of now he HAS been fixed. Source- "Battlenet launcher- Diablo 3 Patch 2.0.4- v2.0.2.23119 -In campaign Mode, MangleMaw now only drops loot and gives XP before the player progresses to Chancellor's Tomb quest" This information has not been posted on the site yet, only on the launcher seeing as this update went live about an hour ago.

[@missmeeper]

Was just now posted on their site- us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/13532431#comments?App&

[@topsecretjony]

He doesn't spawn when I go through the door.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Wearing Firewalkers? That breaks the door before he can spawn.

[@KouyaYoshimoto]

April Fool day's joke by blizz. Have Manglemaw drop cartilage every single time

[@KingMouton666]

139 run since yesterday, rarest items i got was human cartilage 59 times.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

It was nerfed in a recent patch man :S The title and annotation mentioned it. Purple mobs now very very rarely drop legendaries.

[@jstealth89]

Not calling you a liar or anything but I did this for over 2 hours yesterday and all I got was 1 human cartilage and a bunch of blues/rares no legs. It might have been ninja' patched or I just have terrible luck.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

The latter ;) For every guy saying he did it for 2 hours getting nothing there is always someone else saying they did it for 10 mins and got 4 legendaries. The average seems to be about 4 per hour.

[@jstealth89]

Probably, I tried it again after writing my comment for about an hour and a half yesterday and I got 1 leg. A crappy 2 handed sword from the chest that spawns before Mangle. Still not legs from the boss himself; RNG is RNG I guess.

[@th3boy93]

50 kills on T5 0 legendaries... Why??

[@TheVinipuhas]

20 human carnage in 20 mins of farm on t4 :D

[@bagman817]

And nerfed already. Boss doesn't spawn when you go through the portal :(

[@ZiggyDGaming]

You didn't do it correctly or you are wearing firewalkers ;) Reset and do it again without killing the boss before getting the checkpoint.

[@Krzysiekoy]

Aaand, you don't know what you are talking about. Please do not spread misinformation

[@bagman817]

ZiggyD Gaming I stand corrected, I was indeed wearing Firewalkers...I had no idea that would matter. Why does that matter??

[@cupnoodleful]

anybody else have the problem of manglemaw not spawning when resuming a game?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Wearing Firewalkers? they bug his spawn

[@cupnoodleful]

ah yes i am

[@Adzterr]

Can someone help a brother out and tell me where Fire Walkers drops?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Random World Drop, just have to get lucky ;)

[@Adzterr]

Aww. Can I get them from Blood Shard-vendor? Thanks for reply :)

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yes you can :) It's only the Torment sets you cant get from Kadala.

[@LokirofRoriksted]

holy shit! I'll try it on my wizard

[@Snatat_]

1.2m dps and I die alot

[@LokirofRoriksted]

I did it quite easy with 650k dps and 8mi toughness but it took me arounnd 2-3 minutes each fight. Got 1 legendary belt on my second run and nothing else on my next 7

[@cata112233]

Snatat 700k DPS with 6 mill toughness. I kill him in 30 seconds maz

[@DarthDavid79]

Snatat Whats you Tough at? I know a lot of people stacking DPS so much, but not stacking Tough at all. The game has changed and ya can't go all glass cannon anymore with any class.

[@darkushiia]

Fraeblood for efficiency you can go glass canon, i have no problem farming this run or playing on torment 1 with only 2mill toughness and 500k sheet dps(way more higher edps)

[@LJunkieP]

This was Fixed?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Nope! Still works. Checklist: - Remove firewalkers - get checkpoint before killing manglemaw - no legendaries yet? Just unlucky :(

[@LJunkieP]

ZiggyD Gaming Unlucky? But i do this since 2 Hours? xD What do you mean with Firewalker?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

If you wear firewalkers it'll break the door and he wont spawn. And if you haven't gotten any legendaries then RNG is going to RNG, it happens! You can improve your chances by playing T6 and running with a party of 4.

[@LJunkieP]

Ok, thank you, I did it exactly as you told me, even with three people, but the droppt really nothing. He Drops the case do you still care?

[@MrCattlehunter]

ZiggyD Gaming Man, that explains why it wasn't working for me. I was convinced I was bugged or something!

[@jonasramberg5660]

Nice tip - But this seems to have been fixed (?). I farmed him for 1 1/2 hour, didn't get one legendary. Maybe they disabled leg drops from Manglemaw? Might just be extremely unlucky, but it seems kind of too unlucky to not get one legendary in 1 1/2 hour if you got 5 in 1 hour! Anyone else tried?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

I'll copy paste someone else's comment from below that was posted a few minutes before yours. "Still seems to be working. I just finished a 60 minute run. 76 Kills, Torment V. 712k/dps (with 30% SoJ) WD. I got 4 legs on runs 2, 4, 45, 56. 3 from Manglemaw, 1 from the chest." - Cory Serwa Just unlucky man!

[@Glauber.Safadi]

Was this nerfed ? I'm 30 minutes in and got NO leg and not even a single imperial gem lol...and i kill him in less than 20secs... maaa luck!

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Nope im doing it right now, 6 legs in 1.5 hours. RNG is going to RNG!

[@Bloupeel]

think it was hotfixed, farmed for 2 hours on t5 and all i got was cartilige

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Nope im doing it right now, 6 legs in 1.5 hours. RNG is going to RNG!

[@koti12000]

Looks like it's been fixed on EU.

[@ginoabalos1236]

Yep looks like they fixed it, no more legendary drops...

[@coryserwa7674]

It was fun while it lasted. But now he drops zero loot... literally.

[@simontan5874]

nerfed yet?

[@ZaWarudo55]

Hm, after I kill him and I leave the game and resume, my portal disappears.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

You must have killed him before getting the checkpoint the first time? You have to run through the door without killing him to get the checkpoint first.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Actually, that's kind of weird. You are doing it in campaign mode right?

[@LionheartCloud]

drop rate is 7% on torment 6

[@missmeeper]

Where did you get this number from?

[@yamato79]

It doesn't even working now... the Manglemaw not even respawn now when you start a new game.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

You didn't do it correctly or you are wearing firewalkers. Reset and make sure to get the checkpoint before killing him if you aren't wearing firewalkers.

[@yamato79]

ZiggyD Gaming ooh... Let me try again... I will let you know soon... Thx

[@yamato79]

ZiggyD Gaming Heiii... still work... thx for the info about the firewalker

[@adriang3492]

Unfortunatelly its not very good, I've done it yestarday for 2 hours straight and got only 2 legendaries. You can get more legendaries doing normal stuff like rifts and bounties.

[@dirge743]

Yep. Did about 2hours yesterday also. 2 legendarys and 1 legendary plan on torment 5

[@adriang3492]

Bloodpyre_ZA I'd recommend to do that purely if ones need legendary material that drops from him.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Nope im doing it right now, 6 legs in 1.5 hours. RNG is going to RNG!

[@DarthDavid79]

ZiggyD Gaming exactly RNG is RNG, I once got 3 Legs in on Rift. It seems people getting em off him for the most part are getting em as often as those of us running Rifts efficiently.

[@pdxscully]

I've done it for ~5 hours at ~1:40/reset and got 22 Human Cartilage but only 1 Legendary for a different class. Hopefully the next ~5+ hours will have better RNG before the checkpoint is nerfed; I should use your kuduku method ;)

[@vLynk]

Dont know if im just unlucky but got nothing for 3 hours

[@ZiggyDGaming]

SUPER unlucky :(

[@JohnTheNecrofreak]

Hot fixed ,I guess, he doesn't spawn now

[@cybor39]

Stream comments :D

[@jordannettleton6386]

100% fixed now :(

[@LionClawZone]

hey bro, can i join ur clan? im a barb lvl 104 paragon, pls lets farm together ! for more faster legendaries!!!!

[@Oplix]

Nerfed as of 4/8/2014

[@jose81378]

Really

[@Doubledealer17]

Patched. He no longer drops loot.

[@Copy2k13]

Nerfed
