That's kind of a stupid test, but has anyone ever tried to pop DClone at the Ancients?
I suppose it is technically possible : you need to be aware beforehand and put a TP on Arreat Summit.
When screen shakes you can go there. But then ?
- is Dclone here before touching Altar ?
- if not, does he replace an Ancient, if yes which one (perhaps depends on where the TP is?)
- do the other Ancients attack him (that would be cool!)?
- what happens if you use a TP in the fight ? If he despawns does he leave the Anni ?
It's a stupid idea, granted, but taking DClone + 2 Ancients can be a challenge for bored players ! ^^

If you are that bored, DClone is no longer a challenge, and so the ancients...
- is Dclone here before touching Altar ?
==> No
- if not, does he replace an Ancient, if yes which one (perhaps depends on where the TP is?)
==> He will replace 1 for the 3 ancients. You will have to fight DClone + 2 ancients.
- do the other Ancients attack him (that would be cool!)?
==> No, they will all attack you.
- what happens if you use a TP in the fight ? If he despawns does he leave the Anni ?
==> I didn't test. IMO Dclone should not despawns because he is not ancient.
==> No

Thanks for the answer ! Well, if someone wants to try at the next L 2765th spawn...

I heard that you can kill DClone instantly in the Chaos Sanctuary if you setup seals correctly (spawn him instead of some boss pack, trigger the seal, which kills all monsters in Chaos Sanctuary). Is that still valid in D2R?
OP
I think it had been patched to avoid easy kill ?

I don't know. IMO it should works since seal pop trick is still works.

It shouldn't.
The difference is that seal-popping actually kills everything in CS whereas TPing at ancients doesn't kill anything, it just resets them. He hence definitely shouldn't drop an anni. The real question is..if you trigger them again after the TP, does he spawn back in as well or does he just get lost?
What do you mean?
I meant seal pop should kill DClone the same way it kills other monsters.

BTW fighting 2 ancients + DClone is not a good ideal

OP
Btw which one did it replace ? The closer from your TP ?

Nevermind then. Misunderstood you. Thought you were saying "TPing ancients should kill him for the same reason popping seal does".mockingbirdreal wrote: 1 year agoWhat do you mean?

Quitting = bad juju...ended up AFKing in the non-ladder run earlier today, came back and wondered how well my sorc would currently deal with him. Decided to switch...quit...tried to get back in..."cannot connect to server" over and over until the game finally closed. Boo!

Madawc.
In this video, he replace also Madawc.
So maybe, Madawc is the first ancient generated by the code
![Razz :P](https://diablo2.io/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
Relax and have fun!
I also got Madawc.
I nearly matched my oldest DClone-only speedkill personal best but I lost time trying to chase down Talic's whirlwinding. I'll post something later.

This upload was a little annoying because I had to jump through extra hoops to get the audio approved on YouTube (I was fully aware of this and read the terms of use on TheFatRat's video before uploading, which is why I use a copyright-free playlist when I record gameplay). I'm keeping the video unlisted until the claim is approved and released by his multi-channel network though.
Anyway, I'm sure this could become a speedkill benchmark too if Madawc is always the one that's replaced, but Talic's whirlwinding makes it a bit more challenging to get a flawless run.
