Low-mid level speed runs!

[Absolute-Omniscience]

So, through the years me and Yar has done a couple of exp runs and we've had some nice completion times along the way. Here's a few of ours, do you have any?
A lot of em are two manned, but a few of them have some other as well. Kudos to them for joining us.

Tears - 5 minutes - level 7
SC - 6 minutes - level 8
Monastary - 4 minutes - level 14
Gwylans - 5 minutes - level 6
The pit - 12 minutes - level 8
Eastern part 2 - 4 minutes - level 9
Haunted library - 2 minutes - level 9
Trial by fire - 5 minutes - level 10 - elite
Necro - 2 minutes - level 7
Crucible - 16 minutes - level 12 - elite

Few of my completions are that insanely blitz-fast, but I can at least match your 4 minute time for Monastery (on elite, solo, using a 15 monk/1 wizard build).

love necroing threads, also, I've been trying to beat your pit one (even though you've probably done better by now, but still) and finally did

Loaken 11 ranger
Krescendo 9 bard/2 barbarian

did it on hard



worth mentioning that neither of us has mics and kres doesn't have a capped character (returning player)

Very nice job. Mine and Yars record now is also 11 minutes, iirc we were level 7 at the time.
Question, how did you guys split?

We split:
Both run to the first "puzzle" I pull 1 lever, and jump down to furance. By the the time I reach the first gate into the furnace he has completed all the other levers.
I do 1'st furnace while he starts to run for the wheel-puzzle place. He finishes up the Wheel puzzles while I am waiting at furnace 2. I do furnace 2, while he start running to the electrisity trap place.

As soon as I am done with 2'nd, I head there as well, and we completed it together. (This is the place where you can really luck out and get a fast run). After that we both jump down to the floor puzzle room, I do right side while he does left. We leave the room when we've done 2 each, and I head for 3'rd furnace while he heads for the last lever to pull (can't recall the name of the place).

I do 3'rd furnace, and with luck I manage to do the first lever before I get hit by a searing light / magic missile. If that works out the rest of furnace 3 is very fast. And as soon as I am done there yar is already standing at the last room waiting for the barrier to drop. When it drops he runs in triggers all mobs, runs out invisibility clicky and does the levers.


PS: Good thing this thread actually is about a lot of US achivements, else it'd probably get closed as well.

3 Man Crucible - 12 Mins - I think we were level 11-12, not sure.

Could have been any difficulty, I cant quite tell from this SS.



Although this photo was taken before Dungeon Alert.

Edit; Im level 10, so maybe we were all 10, we stay pretty close when leveling.

I do the first puzzle room and kres immediately heads to the furnace, according to him there's not much lost time, and I don't even know if he knows the puzzle, he stays in and does all the furnaces, only coming out once it's time for main control, (that part's always been a pita for me because of the respawning priests, and oozes.)

I go do bilge control and he does furnaces immediately, he usually just kills the first priest he sees, and I head up to do intake control and finish, I USUALLY don't die too...

In the run in question I did get pretty lucky in the breaker room, and kres didn't have much trouble at the furnaces.

My SS doesnt have a time listed but Barbaric's SS says it was 16 mins.

DQ2; 2 Man - 16 Mins - 0 Pots
