Impossible Duriel

[trim]

Have spent six weeks trying to defeat Duriel (Tal Kasha's tomb. DII ).
Amozon level 29, I need some guidance in dealing with this tough monster.
Trust the knowledgeable out there can help a newbie so he can progress in this great game.

solution...

use merc (keep reviving if dead)
get help from others over the net
use the best bow u can
have lots of tps handy

[Galatia]

Duriel is very difficult when using a bow. Try a javellin/spear (you might want to invest a skillpoint in Jab just for Duriel) and be prepared to use lots of potions.

getting to lvl 30 and using valkyrie should help too

i agree there.
i also agree that other bnet chars in the game will help - unless you want to do it solo

another thing that always helps with duriel is as much fast run/walk as possible. If you're shooting arrows, the faster you can get away and shoot - the better your chances are.

Many thanks for all the suggestions.
Just wish to point out that I'm playing solo on a comp. not got round to getting on
Battle-net. (trust I'v the correct forum ).
Many thanks cheers for now

Duriel was one of the reasons I stopped playing Diablo II when I got it. that bastard. everyone assumes u play multiplayer, but some ppl like to play solo, no morons to screw u in the end.

Play on B.Net only. You haven't experienced the game yet. You can always play single player on BNet too if you want to.

Another upside is that many areas of the game are randomly generated where as the single player maps don't change.

Also, trading is great.

Single player maps do change. not everytime u go into it, but they are still randomly generated. Solo is alot harder, cause u cant simply do runs to get anywhere

B.net is much easier...I stop playing single when i got to duriel cuz it was pissing me off really bad.. so i played b.net and my 22 barb and my friends 24 barb killed him in two trips

[DarkGhost368]

If You Play bnet, Get Soemone To Rush You Past him, some people are like me, we just to damn bored, so we don't really mind killing something for someone

[G37Z]

i think he may be trying to do the game on his own...lol? Maybe..

[a1steaksauce]

I got a lvl 65 trap assasin i started in single.it was cool for a while then the gear wasnt good enough and its hard to find more w/o a ok mf char

Best thing i can say is have merc,try to get to lvl 30 like they said for valk.make sure you have atleast 1 pt in penatrate if you need ar.

I agree, with most people Online is the best way to experiance D2, but single player takes more skill that multiplayer (online that is).... I have played single player to death!!! The best character, my pride and joy, is a skelemancer lvl 82 who has finished the whole game... in hell, I also have a lvl 52 socr ... although she has the hardest time in Act 5 nighmare , when It come to Duriel, I have to say I fear him the most... out of all the boses, he really freaks me out. Here is my advice...First of all, I strongly oppose to running when trying to defeat Duriel. As we all know, sometimes one single attack from his side is what it takes to kill you when playing the game at a higher difficulty. There's not very much room to run around in here, and Duriel's cold attack will slow you down quite a bit. The best advice I can offer is to run around as best you can while returning fire and hopefully slowing him down with a cold attack of your own


Sorry if this post sux... never done one before, this post looks long winded compared to others

Wow, I thought I was the only foolish one to try Single D2, its just waste of time my friend

[DDRaddict]

if u have decoy that can get u in a few extra shots. u just need lots of mana pots as well then.

Great post but 6.5 months late.

[diablo2LoD rocks!!!]

i never have done a high level amazon but javelin ones are strong if you play single player and you wana do a run such as tristrum runs then just type in /players8 and it will set the game to the difficulty as if you were on battlenet with 7 other players. you can also change the 8 a lower number but its not an immediet affect its for monsters not yet faced so becareful with champions gd luck with your duriel
