I was farming Mephisto today and I got frustrated navigating Durance of hate Lv. 2. So, I took to my usual online resources and I found Macro bio boi's video on how to navigate it. I thoroughly failed to make use of that video. I then had dinner and saw this video posted! I am very happy to report that I am thoroughly entertained and still unable to navigate the Durance of hate Lv. 2. Thank you WNF! =)

You just go clockwise around the edge of the map from the waypoint. All but 1 of like 20 possible durance lvl 2 maps will make this work super fast.

been playing this game for 20 years, watching KZreadrs about Diablo2 for the last 5, and still finding a new awesome content creator. wow

Great Vid! One little thing you missed: You can spot the temple with Battlemaid Serina and the Book in it in Act 3 by looking at the temple entrance. when it is facing in the direction of Upper Kurast then you have the correct one. The other temple always faces perpendicular and is not the one you were searching for.

Thanks, GGM! I'm a longtime fan, and I really appreciate how you break things down. Thanks for the kind words, and keep up the great work!

Great video! Update for Act 2: Specifically Rocky Waste and Lost City can have their exits on the same corner as the entrance UNLESS Far Oasis exits at the top (meaning Lost City opens at the bottom). Excited for video two about intuiting outdoor maps instead of following the meandering road, or lack thereof.

@withnofiller

Жыл бұрын

You're 100% right and I have added that correction to the video description. And "intuiting outdoor maps without using a road" sounds like a video best left in the hands of a capable speedrunner such as yourself 😊 Cheers and thanks for the comment! Keep up the awesome work!

What an incredibly comprehensive map guide for D2, with just the right amount of dry humor! I am beyond impressed and my D2 game will be vastly improved. Thank you so much! Phenomenal work!!!

As much as speed running is completely irrelevant to me, your videos are so well made and so fun to watch that I watch them anyway

Knew most of that, the A3 Tile presentation blew my mind though that makes understanding it a LOT easier! The implicit notion on how some maps can't have their exit on a specific wall, because it's opposite of the exit in the next area (i.e. black marsh cant be bottom left exit, because monastery gate is top right) was a really cool realization! One Addition, which is for opening Uber Portals and loosely related to maps: Should you for some reason just need one or two of the Uber organs (i.e. game crashed, you were soloing it, died and could not get your body back and such), you can force the corresponding portals to spawn by putting the keys in your cube in a specific order (not ctrl clicking, I only tried top row left to right, maybe there are other configurations that work): H,T,D Order in Cube = Meph Brain D,H,T Order in Cube = Diablo Horn T,D,H Order in Cube = Baal Eyes

The amount of work that went into research and visuals here is amazing. Well done!

Came for the awesome music and memes, stayed for the lessons :)

Just wanted to comment here to help the algo. Long-form content like this is what this platform needs and the hardwork and effort that goes into such things deserves all the credit it can get.

Honestly the best video I've seen on KZread in years.

None of this made any sense UNTIL you held the block of swiss cheese in front of the on-screen map. Then it all made sense! Thank you!

Having played on and off for twenty years I had a feel for a lot of this intrinsically. However, the biggest mind blown moment was definitely the fact that I’ve skipped a super chest in the tower for twenty years at the T intersection pillar hallways. Now… someone figure out arcane sanctuary for Christ’s sake.

In addition to all the work you put into this video, I really appreciate you not interrupting the content with sub-begging or "engagement" insisting, or lewd Patreon suggesting. You respectfully and tasfully waited until the end and acknowledged that it's the viewers call on whether or not to do any of this. ... Liked and subscribed! 👍

"You want to make a left turn at some point so you can face the same way as the exit path" Got it, adventure's to the right!

holy shit the visuals and all. Love it! (only watched 3mins so far but well worth the thumbs up!). That type of dedication just shouldn't exist on YT given how poorly this platform treats its creators.

I watched all 44 minutes of this despite already knowing a majority of the tile placements, just because i like your voice and the occasional meme

Totally epic video, dude. Bookmarked permanently for future. I've watched several of the sources you mentioned and still learned loads. Respect.

I think it’s criminal that this video doesn’t get more attention. You are a legend. Thank you for the insightful video.

i so neeeded this! a few times allready i tried understanding how speedrunners are so good at getting thru maps with minimal exploration and thus waste ALOT less time then i do. Now i wanted to get a Amazon up and going and am in the progress of pushing her thru difficutlties right now. And while not really speedrunning i try to not waste alot of time but instead get going quick as i know i can do all the lesser quests, waypoints and stuff eazy later once i get her a bit up in level and gear. I hope this guide helps me waste alot less time on maps. thanks man.

Rad video, your comedic relief is bar none for D2R content! I will always watch every video just for that reason.

Well done. Always love your guides. Please do more!

Your videos are awesome, it's a godsend for people like me who are noobies that only started playing Diablo 2 last year with the remaster. Your videos are much more cohesive and easier to follow than those Diablo 2 guides that are unscripted, just a recording of a Livestream, or super long winded. I know your videos are long too but because it's edited well and scripted, they are much easier to follow and understand. Please keep up the content and I hope you do more videos like these for other aspects of Diablo 2.

gg video. this is an excellent resource and much less painful to watch than llama's scuffed video. it's crazy that there's still so much more to learn about maps than what's covered in this video, given how much this video covers

I've read tons of guides and rewatched MrLlamaSC's explanations a few times but your video is so much better! Thank you for this amazing guide.

Thank you! I couldn't find a concise visual guide for a lot of this stuff so I made one. Glad it helped you!

Good to know that I subconsciously figured almost all of this out when I was playing D2 back in the day. I could zip thru maps so fast that my friends swore that I was using hacks of some sort. Even when they were there watching in person.

Wow, the effort you put in to make this video and the way you simply described everything is awesome, def one of the best informational videos on D2 ive ever seen

WOOOO with no filler

YOURE BACK!!

I've used this video many times in the past. Just found out I'm going to be teleporting for my ladder reset group in about 6 hours, so reviewing and making notes for things I don't have memorized. This is an invaluable guide if you want to Get Good.

Thank you very much, I caught some of Llama's explanation in a live I briefly watched, but this I watched entirely and is exactly what I needed

Your videos are so great! I will be waiting for the next!

Thanks for the video, really helpful! I've read before about left/counterclockwise strategy but I couldn't grasp exaclty how to read entry direction, you're the first one who explained it to me... and also the first one who showed me that "entry tile" doesn't have to be small tile, like in caves. The more you know... :)

23:56 Mike Wazowski had me wheezin' :V good one

Thanks for all the work you put into this near hour long detailed and simple to understand video!

The Frozen River maps to find Anya at 38:13 is one of the few I didn't know. Thanks! 🙂

I return to this guide every ladder at some point. Thank you so much for your effort in creating this!

Love this guide, thank you! "I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right.... but also... I don't care." Best line.

I was always looking for a video like this. Bless you man. It's way too late for me but hopefully others may profit.

A huge piece of work went into this. Well done, great video.

This is what I've been waiting for. I'm going to write a program that will let you select where you are and then will spit out the type of map and navigational suggestions based on your video. Thank you!

The owned jingle @1:28 killed me xD Straight up liked and subscribed xD

Stayed a while and listened. Glad I did

This is wildly helpful, and I love the jokes and songs throughout

i gave the video a thumbs up before the first 30 seconds were watched... but you truely earned it with the fixed - enough meme!

Absolutely incredible content. Top notch, best I've seen. Welcome

28:50 - for barbarian, worth noting you don't need TP in layer 3, you can just jump through metal bars.

D2 veteran that knows most map patterns here… From this vid, I learned: A1: ideally, run Tristram starting north, so you have higher chance of spawning more elites, forgotten tower on edge, catacombs 2 lanes, one usually blocked A2: lost city -> valley is never south A3: wishbone pattern on river = camp above, stony field influences LK->KB, and for sewers, take right from chest to L2 A5: 38:17 timestamp to prepare for the rippy Anya runs, 40:20 for Halls 1 (blob, shakeweights)

well made, super informative and I laughed hard a few times. subscribed!

super informative and super funny. Well done my guy

Very useful advice for players who are either speed running or wish to get though the game quickly, I personally fall into the Kill Them All category of players, I waste more time in the zones, but i get more rewarded, after 100% of killing everything and looting it all.

Cairn stones are used as markers or burial mounds. In my country you sometimes see them if you go out into the countryside and on mountains.

holy shit this is absolutely amazing, very well done

Been playing D2 since it's original release, sort of subconsciously picked up on how maps were generated and how to navigate them easily, it's cool to really learn the actual mechanics behind it

Damn, aside from the actual content you are extremely funny, creative and witty. I lol’d IRL which I usually don’t.

Never seen a more accurate Hadriel impression.
