To be fair though - this is a superfast RNG, in which the Sorceress finds a good route and a valuable scepter to turn into mana pots. Sometimes clearing Den Of Evil takes a few minutes, other times 20 minutes.

We used to do this barbarian ironman challenge back in 1.09 classic. No running back or creating new games, you only got each zone once. Started out with slow meticulous clears to maximize loot until people started finding strats and optimizations. Miss that little group of players. Probably could've been fun to watch and make speedruns of if we had the ability to record gameplay the way we do today.

what the hell?!?! a few years back when I heard about theoretical cheated speedrun for sorc at around 40mins I thought it was crazy but what did I just saw?! Maaan you are hella crazy and congratulations to you, youre a beast

[@awesomechannel7713]

The 40 minutes in that theoretical run was the total time including the loading screens. And it assumed sub-optimal leveling as level 18 was obtained by farming Beetleburst, meaning that all the catacombs and the desert were walked on foot.

[@AndrewC89]

Why legacy mode for Akara at the start? Is there a bug that makes items cheaper to buy?

[@Kano_AU]

The "yes" will unalign in the new graphics if you move your cursor one pixel, to avoid this we shop in classic gfx for convenience

[@karamelflan]

That was amazing!

[@Great_Poleaxe]

finally you uploaded this. i watched it hours after live stream. that could be the best act1. but you don't have the +1 lightning amulet as Bender's 36'32 does, or 327's stealth, so not the best act 4-5. can't really imagine what a sub 35 would require for gear

[@KubaŚliwiński-v1u]

Hello @kano did you consider to run directly to jail lvl 1 (check setup), and then make quickly den with frost nova? Seems faster and definitely faster to restart if jail 1 fails

[@Kano_AU]

It could be worth considering, but the actual fastest strategy in the end will probably be a Den skip entirely that relies on an extra layer of early game RNG (good early gold start, skill shrines, etc.)

I did not touch this game for like 15 or even 20 years, so I might be wrong, but the graphic looks better, than it used to. Or am I imagining things? Also, the last time when I watched speed runs of diablo 2 everybody was farming certain runes in act 1, don't remember which ones though, it was a long time ago...

[@jaimemagnabosco7802]

@@Kano_AU why did you choose the blessed aim aura merc instead the deffensive one? in my opinion, it would be a great choice

[@Kano_AU]

I like Blessed Aim for the slightly improved hit chance (mainly try to teleport the merc onto Vizier, Lord De Seis and Madawc) - but you could opt for the Prayer one also

[@EmceeSurge]

Been watching your stuff lately, was curious: when you sold sash for 141 (it had +3 str and +5 mana) @3:37, did you notice mods? You also sold a 17 fhr armor @9:59 but then bought one @13:40 w/ 10% fhr. Only reason I ask is because I think you can do sub 35, and having extra gear like that on earlier might mean not stopping to shop, having one or two extra casts, etc.

[@Kano_AU]

The FHR armor selling was a mistake, the sash is a small difference but could potentially add up (it eventually gets replaced by a belt in A2)

[@awesomechannel7713]

That act 1! Can it be any better? The jail objects a re so co-located.. and these catacombs..

[@test-rj2vl]

Nice run. I remember staying up late when I was kid so that I could take part of early ladder after reset. And I was always wondering how some people already show up level 70ish when I was just starting to search for tomb runs. I guess this video answers this question. Just buy mana and tele and skip everything and use static on every boss. Now put 8 such players in 1 team and no wonder they are doing hell baal runs while normies are still doing tomb runs.

[@tzimisce1753]

I use this as a reference for how to beat bosses with Blizz Sorc.

[@ShenanHawkins]

i heard there's a second cow level if you can make Duriel hear the laughs of the false summoner

[@tuturu9419]

In 1:15 how do you switch the visuals from resurrected to classic?

[@Kano_AU]

You can bind a button to switch between legacy and resurrected in the options, mine is set to H but I don't think that's default

[@tuturu9419]

Is there actuall reason you switch it or just for fun​@Kano_AU

[@Kano_AU]

@@tuturu9419 because of the "yes" alignment when buying potions, in the new graphics if you move your cursor one pixel it will typically unalign the "yes"

[@bultransllc3168]

Well done bro

[@Ismcant]

im curious, why the change to the original graphics when shopping Akira at the start?

[@Kano_AU]

Because the "yes" doesn't align well in the new graphics, it will unalign if you move your cursor more than one pixel - so still technically possible, but just more convenient to swap to the classic graphics when buying potions

[@Ismcant]

@@Kano_AU ahh cool, thanks for letting me know, I *KNEW* there was a reason it would be faster/more consistent, just didnt know why. great run btw GG

[@mathewbollington9569]

Let me check. P8 until lvl 18 and then P1 all the way? Maybe when you respec into Nova you shave off some life for a deeper mana pool? Sometimes you seem to pound on Nova when you could static some more before the actual kill. Is an FCR wand necessary? I mean, is an Act 2 wand with a bonus to mana/energy better?

[@goatunnheim]

p8 Flayer to get to level 20

[@Kano_AU]

Considering how much we teleport, 1 frame saved each TP is a pretty big deal

[@pjjuijuu]

[@Lordosvk]

why do you always use G old game ? thx

[@PaulWeiner123]

why does screen change at 23:58

[@Kano_AU]

There's a hotkey to toggle between legacy and resurrected graphics, I toggle it here because the "yes" doesn't align very well in the new graphics when buying potions - you can still do it in the new graphics but need to keep your cursor perfectly still

[@StarZoo]

37:20 what song 🤔

[@Still.No.Name.]

What does changing graphics for the shop and Baal waves do?

[@blacklord11]

Hi. Great run but have question. Why 25:15 - 25:32 graphics turns into oryginal diablo 2?

[@Kano_AU]

In D2R you can toggle between Resurrected and Legacy graphics and I swap because the "yes" will unalign if you move your cursor more than one pixel in the new graphics. Not faster, just for convenience

[@BrandynQuigley]

Do they use fixed map seeds for d2 speed runs? Seems like map rng would be a massive factor?

[@Kano_AU]

It's random seeds and yeah map RNG can make a pretty big difference but there is a skill to reading maps too

[@oftankoftan]

i'd be cool if you'd explain why you're doing what you're doing. like why are you switching to old graphics in the vendor menus and during the boss waves before baal?

[@Kano_AU]

For potion buying, the "yes" will unalign if you move your cursor one pixel - so it's just for convenience and for wave skips I use classic graphics because those are the line ups I'm used to

[@Bacjuszx]

Would meditation merc work a little better than the blessed aim? It's only used to tank a few hits, no?

[@saucymoon7134]

you can't get meditation without insight runeword

[@Bacjuszx]

@@saucymoon7134 meant prayer, my bad

[@euklesio]

​@@Bacjuszx It's very bad on such low level: Until lvl 22 merc has a Level 5 Prayer aura, that means +3 life per second, not useless but well... A single Greater Potion heals for 7.68 seconds, and it gives to Sorceress (180 life) ~23 life per second and for the Merc (270 life) ~35 life p/second. Because of this low value of prayer, the Defiance aura would prob doe more, for example against a Doom Knight (Act4 Chaos Sanctuary) your merc with the +5 defiance aura would be 20% less likely to be hit ( From 85% to 65% ). The +5 Blessed Aim is a solid +135% AR, that helps the merc a bit to hit mobs above his level, mostly all stuff on the speedrun. In the end of the day, some people will call for the phrase: "The best defense is a good offense".

[@Bacjuszx]

fair, I think the defense aura might have more use in a speedrun situation. As far as I recall, I may misremember, it was mostly to tank duriel and mephisto to cast static safely. Maybe than 1/2 extra dodge due to increase defense would be preferable to him hitting for little to no dmg@@euklesio

Why does the game always switch from the old to the new view and vice versa when shopping in a store?

[@Kano_AU]

You can toggle between Resurrected and Legacy graphics in D2R and I swap because the "yes" will unalign if you move your cursor more than one pixel in the new graphics (still possible, just inconvenient)

[@NotCarpeDM]

When was this new tech found for Baal where you stand at the entrance and he never summons?

[@Kano_AU]

[@barsukus13]

Why do you change the game's graphics to the old one when trading with Akara?

[@그루미-f5e]

more faster than new

[@jprs433]

what's up with that graphics changing from remake to old and back again to new one?

[@Kano_AU]

@jprs433 it's part of Resurrected, but it's just for shopping convenience when it comes to buying potions, the "yes" will unalign itself if you move your cursor more than one pixel

[@JLH111176]

switch to old version at the vendors what does that do for you ?

[@kedicikksk]

Faster purchase, in new ui you have to move your cursor a little bit after each item you buy.

[@Kano_AU]

The "yes" aligns better in the classic graphics when buying potions, if you move your cursor more than one pixel in the new graphics the "yes" will unalign

[@lemonacidrounds7293]

When did you save Deckart Cain? And if you stay out of range Baal never launches enemies like Lister the tormentor? Interesting.

[@Kano_AU]

Never saved Cain, it's not a requirement - Also it's a Baal wave skip (I'll have a video on this at some point) but it takes some very specific timing around keeping him in and out of load range
