Popular Post Gattusso02 Posted March 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Finally got the plat for Diablo 2 after 6 long months. Would just like to give credit where credit is due and thank @Vextens for the words of wisdom and encouragement. Huge thanks to @NathanielJohn for putting that D Clone method into writing - that was golden. That thread gave so much hope during times of low energy and temptations to stop the run. Based on Vexten's data and speed on his Paladin compared to my Lightning Sorc, I am solely convinced that Paladin is surely the class to go for for HC 99 if you want to complete this game the fastest way possible. I made my own notes and guides as well for comparison. I'll share it with you guys here. Please take it with a grain of salt as I am no Diablo expert, but hey, I got the plat after a longer route than desired. Here are my notes in case it can help anyone along the way. At the latter part of this article, in the level 99 Hardcore segment, I attached some YouTube links of a sample Baal Run and sample D Clone Run so you guys can get a Lightning Sorc end game perspective.

You might want to put all that copy/paste in a spoiler tag to reduce the size of your post and the inevitable full-quote someone is bound to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still works as a charm on offline hardcore mode. I think this is a legit game mechanic since classic Diablo 2. Haven't heard of it being possibly reworked on upcoming patches on my end.

Sunny Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Congrats dude, that's a huge accomplishment major kudos, I will probably try it one day but with no actual hope to achieve the platinum, I'll play it for periods of time and taking breaks, one question tho, I plan on playing completely offline so can I back up my HC character save to a USB? If not I don't think I'll ever play on HC, oh and is the online trophy hard to get? I'm really bad at PVP...? Thanks mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do the everything offline except for the PVP trophy that pops by holding 20 player's ears in your inventory at the same time. You just need one buddy to help with this one. Turn on the hostile button and kill him right outside town 20 times, pick up his ear drop each time you kill him and the trophy is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched in some previous topics and someone was mentioning it's not possible anymore.. Glad its wrong!

Glad its wrong! I would think it still works really well specifically for the PS4 version of the game. I think it's become vastly harder to pull off on the PS5 version of the game because of the one save file containing both character and shared stashes. It's one reason I've been hesitant to consider going for the PS5 stack as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they add ps4>ps5 cloud transfer later.. c'mon, that's a must do for gamers who upgrade their system! And crossplay, I would love to play with my friends on pc..

It’s really great of you and some of the others to spend all that time experimenting and compiling this information for the community in these threads. Considering the sheer scope of this game, this information will no doubt be instrumental in helping anyone else who decides to tackle this behemoth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
