About Achmel, assuming that it's AI is similar to other Greater Mummies, he can only revive undead in his sight, so I guess you killed enough skeletons in areas he could not see since there was like only one skeleton around when he ran at you, think the AI notice if it has less than a certain number undead alive, and nothing to rez it tries to rush the player, with the devs programming it like that assuming the corpses might be near the player outside the Mummies range

Nah, no need for this trashcontent glorifying what ActiBlizz made out of Diablo 2, Diablo 2 Resurrected, which isn't not as MUCH of a conning shitshow as Warcraft 3 Reforged but honestly pretty close, as you can see on the new animations f.e.

Im glad that those of us that listen to these while gaming are recognized ive gotten like 5 p ranks while your videos are on keep em comin

Harvey = GOAT! Honestly thought you’d have more trouble and roadblocks but you made it look surprisingly easy. Love these videos, keep it up!

I learned so much about Diablo in this video.. so in the spirit of knowledge, did you know that a cousin of the "harvey" potato vine is actually peanuts.. like peanuts grow on a bush.. but not on the bush, they are actually a structure in the root system of a small bush.. so when you pick peanuts you actually grab a small shrub at the base and pull out a huge root ball covered in peanuts... they only grow in sandy or loamy soil thats why you can pull the whole root system out of the ground... well now you know. Love your videos

Man, talk about subverted expectations with the class choice here, it honestly made the challenge all the more entertaining to witness! Bravo!

"Harvey's hugs" made me gut chuckle. Never seen your channel before, cool stuff! My favorite game of all time :)

Omg, I'm so psyched for the D2 challenge runs! Please do more! Also you're the best

Thank you *so* much for putting the music in the description Boutta go listen to Panacea (Vignette) Hyper Light Drifter cause it sounded good in the outro

Im excited for this year for you backlogs! I highly enjoy your content!

Aw Harvey. What a great way to start off the year. Good luck with your Backlog, I feel you there. Mine is smaller than most but I still can't seem to make much headway in it. RIP.

Listening to this as I start my weekly meal prep, so thank you for the acknowledgement, and I appreciate you too.

Love your stuff man keep going

I love your videos. Everytime i feel down they give me momentary respite and I can laught. Onto more videos in 2024 and beyond.

Thank you lemon for making such great content 😃

I've never had an interest in Diablo but I love this series keep it up man!

While I can't wait to see new games in ur channel, it's nice to start the year with something familiar :D

and another good start of the new year 🙂Thanks for the video Lemon and congrats on the 3 pages of scholars ;-)

These kinds of videos are always so much fun to watch

Your content got me through 2023, which was really bad for me, so thank you so much, I really love your videos

2019: time is normal 2020-2023: blinks for 5 seconds 2024: time is normal once again

Very cool video. Diablo 2 for me like many is a staple of gaming no matter the source. Thanks for the video man.

This was pretty great! I need more D2 runs!!

Happy new year lemon love your vids

great music choice at the end, hyper light drifter is such a beautiful game

A pleasantly soothing video this time, your biggest struggle was a wooden door :D Hopefully more of your challenge runs will be similarly easy this year.

Always happy when backlogs posts a new video for me to watch at 1:41 am

I do only listen to you sometimes. It is very calming to listen to you man!

The legend of the Eldritch Root continues! May his eyes be plentiful and startch thick! All hail Harvey!

I don’t see you but I hear you and appreciate you as well!(listening at work)

What better than a Diablo 2 Backlogs Video on my Birthday

Without having to watch the video, as a seasoned D2, D2:LOD, and D2R. The answer is 'yes'. Assuming you know what your doing, have time to grind out the proper gear with the right stats, and put quite literally days into it. Awesome video as always!

always happy to see harvey out and about!

13:05 So this seems related to a glitch found by D2 LOD speedrunners. It used to be that you would lure out each wave into the hallways since there is a trigger in the room (near the entrance) that spawns the wave. Interestingly, in the latest speedrunning strategy, it was discovered that there are actually two triggers! One triggers a cue to Baal that you have entered the room, the second triggers the actual spawn of the next wave. It turns out that if you interrupt the second trigger by turning around after triggering the first trigger, the game will register that you left the room while still registering that a wave has spawned (even though a wave hasn't actually spawned). So, I think you stumbled onto the old speedrunning strat BL!

Or Harvey triggered the unraveler's melee attack and didn't deaggro. It can be attacked after all.

I want to see more actual backlogs videos. The challenge videos are great, esp with the variety content lately, but I do want to see you do more of your actual backlogs.

Almost completely unrelated to the video, but every time you introduce yourself as Lemon, it just cracks me up.

I love the return of the lord of the Harvest, welcome back Harvey

I had a big smile when I heard the TUNIC song play in the background at the start. What a wonderful game that is

As a big fan of The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, I can't wait for you to try it. Though I can't really think of a fun challenge run idea for it.

Would love to see similar videos made for POE, number of options you would have is insane... so far best i saw is flame dash combined with totems :P

Just finished working on some models for my game listening to this now ima watch the video for full fun

I watch while I'm cooking. But it's nice to be seen!

If you plan on doing more D2 challenges in the future, buy up Antidotes for Andariel and Thawing Potions for Duriel. They will give you a ton of poison resist and cold resist respectively, and the more you drink the longer they last. I think it's like 30seconds per potion you drink.

I love harvey! more harvey content!!! this is an early birthday gift! (my b-day is january 21 so I'm happy)

Woo, a new Ds2 vid that'll help to convince me to actually play Ds2

Well time to replay Diablo 2 haha thanks Lemon and Harvey of course haha

I do feel appreciated being pointed out that I’m gaming while listening in xD

ending with a hyper light drifter was a nice touch, one of my favorite games.

At about 4 minutes, I could not pay attention anymore. The ToeJam and Earl music brought so many Memories I had to find my Mega Drive and play THAT thing all over again.

I’m glad that someone else shares my passion for DoT effects. Poison, bleeding, radiation, rarely fire, etc are always my favorite ways to play games regardless of how bad they’re implemented

I love how happy Harvey is throughout the whole video.

Good luck on the backlog clearing, I've been failing to do so for years 😛

Highly approve of using Lifeformed's music for the background. Tunic's overworld music is an absolute delight :D

I was bored, and the lord of gaming and patience delivers

go Harvey! (did i spell it right??) :D loved hearing the hyperlight drifter ost at the end too. Also it sounded as if you haven't had the best past couple weeks so I hope you're doing well

d2 is my favourite game, keep em runs coming ❤

I was always curious where the name of your channel came from!

Finally. Another Diabo 2 video. I thought that you already did this, until you said that you did a run with firebombs and thorns...wait. It's only 3 videos and I've seen them already?

I'm listening to this video while riding to work, thank you for seeing me

I just listening this while working, hey thanks for noticing =) better than asmr!

watching this while playing d2 myself :D happy new year

Would indeed be cool to see more non-Souls stuff this year, Lemon. At least that's how I feel; not ever getting tired of _you,_ but at sooome point, y'know, there's a liiittle part of me that wants to scream whenever it reads the words "Souls" or "From" yet again. x)

Silly silly Lemon wanting to play new games when he still has to bonk himself through DS 2 and DS 3. Happy new year man hope it´s a great one for you.

This was just... really wholesome.

The end credits music choice *"chef's kiss"*

I felt called out. I mostly listen to your videos xD

I saw Arx Fatalis on that list, planning on doing a video on that? I'd love that

Welcome back, Harvey. Unpaid vacation in Sanctuary makes up for the cateyes he was promised back in the day.

"Hey, it's Lemon" always has this Larry energy and I love it

man, so happy to see harvey back :D

We got Dark Souls 1 miracles only. It'd be cool to make that a series too, Dark Souls 2 and 3 await you Lemon..The spells are calling.

When I played the game a decade ago (when I was only in elementary school), I didn't read the skill descriptions and thought that the Druid vines are actually earthworms... Never even thought as the vine skills as damage dealers, so props to this run... and any Diablo 2 run in the future.

The "Hey, it's Lemon." greeting, depending on the tone, always invokes one of two feelings in me. a) A good friend giving me a phone call. b) A vaguely melancholic ex giving me a phone call.

That was a nice outro.
