You can buy a bow for yourself if you want too. If you have found any Jewels of Envy, put them in her helm or armour. Buy her a Long Bow with three sockets from Gheed and put any chipped emeralds you have found in it. Level 5 & 6 – Blood RavenĬlear out all the caves and areas (a “Full Clear”), leave no monster alive! Once you have defeated Blood Raven, speak to Kashya and get a Rogue Mercenary.
Buy a Tome of Identify and Tome of Town Portal from Akara early on, that will stop your inventory being full of scrolls. Pretty much the only thing you don’t want to pick up are keys – Assassin’s don’t need them to open locked chests. Keep transferring the gold to your stash as you don’t want to lose it if you die. Wands, Scepters and Throwing Knives can be a good source of income, but don’t waste money buying Scrolls of Identify just yet.
Sell weapons and any armour you don’t need for gold. The return isn’t great – Just 1.5 Mana per point.Ĭollect everything you can. If you feel you are really short of Mana you can put some points in Energy, but no more than 20. As a rough target, 36 strength is as far as you need to go in Act I, the rest of the points can go in Vitality. Only spend your stat points when you actually need them. You can use it straight away, but you will find you run out of mana quickly. Kill all the monsters by whacking them with your Katar. You can talk to the NPCs if you like, then step out onto The Blood Moor. We start off in a wet temperate landscape. Act I: The Sightless Eye Levels 1-4 – The Den of Evil You can spend the skill and stat points, but we need to save things like Imbues, sockets and respecs for later. Unless this guide specifically tells you not to, save all your quest rewards. If you find you are underleveled, just go back a bit and kill some more monsters. The levels are based on my own playthrough, yours may vary a bit from this but don’t worry about it. Once your skill levels increase you will power through late Normal and Nightmare, before the challenge of Hell difficulty. I’m going to give a step by step walkthrough for the early game as this can be the most frustrating. ~10 Fire Blast, more if you have the points. Let’s get fired up and on with the build that will take you through Normal difficulty. MF – Increased Chance to find Magic Items There will be limited re-running recommended, but you can easily use this guide to play through once without repeating anything (single pass). I’m assuming here you will be playing in a solo Battle Net game or Single Player.
Later we will reset the skill and stat points of the character to be more lightning focussed, which will be stronger in the later game. You can use these skills from the beginning, mana permitting. For most of Normal difficulty we are going to play as a fire trapper. This Trapsin guide is actually for two builds. She has the best crowd control skills, and one of the strongest summons in the game, if you choose to use her. She can deal three different types of damage – lightning, fire, and physical damage, meaning nothing in the game is entirely immune to her. The Diablo 2 Trapper or Trapsin build is the most popular assassin build, and with good reason.
3.2.2 Act II: The Secret of the Vizjerei.
