wha...??
25 shurikens? where did you find 25 shurikens? please share.
I hate running out of ammo and often end up throwing rocks as they always fall to the ground.

As far as a solo run is concerned. I would say it is easier in LoG2 than 1. There are some serioulsy harsh spots if you are going for 100% complete where you get trapped. Everything else can be strategically overcome with patience.

They are spread over the whole map with a good bunch inside the ruins and the pyramid. Can't say if i got all; i still have to visit a few areas yet.

EDIT: progress update

2 rage and speed potions later Lindwurm is down at the end of wave 2


EDIT: progress update

Single character run complete



In case anyone wants to try the final fight here's the savegame.

Final gear and statistics

Nice run.

I think throwers are the strongest build with that double throw. I was thinking about a single character run but wondering if it's just very tedious rather than difficult.

Another single character run finished.
This time a ratling rogue going all out with missile weapons.
Hard Ironman again, no alchemy and one lone spell being "Shield".











EDIT:
In case anyone wants to try both final fights here's the savegame at the top of the castle (Void) with all remaining resources so beware! Once they are gone you're out!

Very impressive Dr. D, looks like fun. I might try a run but without ironman. Really wish we could get rid of the grayed out GUI.

How much damage do you do with the throwing and missile build? I struggled enough running a 4-man party through hard. At least some scripted fights where I got locked with mobs were hard. I don't even know how I would do them without force field / barrier and 2 alchemists (eating pots all day long lol). On my third playthrough (I quit the first two almost at the end cause I got so sick of weight problems and too many missing power gems) I went with 2 heavy hander at front and 1 DW light + mage in backrow. I felt that the heavy handers did such a great job at kicking ass. On my first playthroughs my missile guy hardly did any damage and ran out of arrows in long fights... I honestly don't understand how you did it haha.

Another thing. I spent 16 hours on my run. I did everything. I see you spent 30+. Is that kiting? Or just AFK?

I think the long time is because of having 1/4 the damage output. It's a nice achievement for sure.
