Beating Diablo II, Irene The Infirm's Way?

Posted by simoniker on from the sand-no-longer-kicked-in-face dept.

Rimbo writes "I've found a new hero, over at The Lurker Lounge's Diablo II forums, where intrepid adventurer MongoJerry set up an in-game Sorceress according to the following rules: 'No skill or stat points may ever be assigned... She plays fully naked, including no charms or jewelry... She must get all waypoints and fulfill all quests in game order... If she actually gets that far, any mercenary she gets must play naked as well... She plays hardcore.' So, no weapons, no armor, no magic items, no throwing potions. How long will she last playing Diablo II? Astonishingly long! Read on for the surprising Irene the Infirm: Tales of a Sickly Punching Sorceress."

    If you want REAL tales of masochism, check out the nethack newsgroups, and read the posts of people who ascended nudist atheist vegetarian illiterate tourists.

    While reading the thread (its up to 5 pages, most likely going to hit 6 soon thank to this report) keep in mind that this has been going on for nearly a month now. I don't think its even mathamatically possible to get this far after 48 hours of true NON-STOP playing.

    For those who don't/never play/ed Diablo 2, when you're unarmed and using your fists your damage is 1-2 ASSUMING you even connect. This goes for any class, no matter how much strength you have as well. All monsters auto-heal as well, except for certain bosses, so I'm guessing it takes about 3-5+ minutes to kill one regular monster and at least 2 potions.
