Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction Message Board  

I'm playing D2 lod for the first time (i know, sad, but i only just started playing my dad's games.) and i just got to travincial. i've read walk throughs and i guess i'm just naturally nervous, but what level would you suggest to be at with an amazon before going into travincial?

please don't bash the noob! XD it's not my fault that i wasn't allowed to play games with murdering and stuff until i was 15 (i'm 16 now.)

A level between 25-30 is good enough for that quests.

thanks. I went in at level 26 and I used my Immolation Arrow to kill most of the Bosses. It was fun, but now I'm nervous again about going up against Mephisto.

Make sure that you have very good (>45) lighting and fire resistance.

Actually, I found a Walk Through that had a REALLY good tip. the link is www.mennekecheats.nl/walkthroughEng/d/Diablo2LordOfDestruction.htm

the author made a rather crude, but effective map with some markers on it, and gave this hint:

1) Mephisto is REALLY easy if you follow my techniques ... if you want a bit
more of a challenge (i.e. you enjoy dying and starting from your last town
portal/waypoint/all the way back in town ?) then please do your own thing

2) The key to defeating Mephisto is to use the terrain to your advantage,
and to stay out of the range of his missile attacks AT ALL TIMES.

So ... without further ado, this is how I beat Mephisto down like a biatch ...
works every time.

A) Make sure you have a ranged weapon that does good damage, or a ranged
Hireling, or spells, or any combination that can do damage at range.
B) Go into x3
C) Head up and then left, and approach Mephisto.
D) Once you have his attention and he has started to follow you, FALL BACK
as quickly as you can. Your aim is to reach xxx on the map.
E) Once you have reached xxx, switch from run mode to WALK mode, and edge
your way back up towards Mephisto's original starting place - DON'T go
through x3 to get there ... you just need to edge up from xxx and you
SHOULD see Mephisto struggling at the steps above you to reach you. All
you need to see is his glow ... if he starts throwing spells at you or
your hireling you are TOO CLOSE so pull back and try again. Using the
Rogue Sister as an example, you need to edge up until she starts
firing ... she will shoot at Mephisto until he dies, and he will make NO
attempt to fight back as he will be struggling to get over that little
expanse of blood to get to you !! EEEEEEAAAASSSSSSYYYYYY or WHAT !?!?!


so overall, I just had to stand there while the AI tried to make Mephisto come towards me, but he was unable to, and since I was far away enough to be out of the reach of his spells, I just had to stand there and fire arrows! XD it was awesome and now I'm in Hell...

Great! Now it's time to beat Diablo!
P.S. That ws a nice strategy.

yay... another stressful task... I am in the process of finding Izual right now... yup.
