Description
This was a Teeth gritting adventure, I ran into him without really knowing what the heck it was in the Palace Cellar on my way to Arcane Sanctuary, and where you'd normally find Fire Eye there's freaking Diablo, after a quick moment of panic I dove into the arcane portal and got my WP.
Then, I had to google why the heck diablo invaded this cellar ( Terror invaded Sanctuary event) I knew enough to figure it probably wasn't a bug, and learned what he dropped, and what a fortuitous spot I happened to find him in since I could WP in and hold him at the small door out of the room.
Decided I would give it my best shot. I started hooking hammers at him through the door, and realized I wasn't even doing enough damage to outpace regen, oh boy well this will be tricky.
First step, overcoming his apparent regen. I went searching high and low for a Prevents Monster Heal item after checking around to make sure it would work, gambled away 700k with no luck, stomped around in act1 looking for a 3 socket weapon with no luck (found a creepy amount of good runes for the span of time), vendor hopped for 30 minutes with no luck.
Finally I tried gambling again, dirks and spiked clubs, and on my last set of gold before I gave up, and Boom! Now I'm in business (nevermind it's something I've really got no business doing at this stage of the game). So I fill my inventory with potions, switch on Blessed Aim and go Club Diablo and Hallelujah, it worked. Managed to get him to the O before I killed myself checking. Then he regened back to full while I played bullfighter getting my gear back (and realized he was regenerating again). SOoo I thump him again, and get him to the L before I run out of potions. Gah, back to town, come back try to Club him, blam dead.
On and on it went, I spent about an hour fighting him, slowly whittling him down, when finally I see him through the wall pull his Death animation. So, behold, my first Annihlius charm:
Nearly perfect too. Now I just need one more level to use it.
It was a fun adventure, hopefully harrowing tales of loot well cheesed are welcome here, I just joined today, but wanted to share my story somewhere, as it was quite a ride for someone who's played for ages but hasn't done Closed BNET after 2004 or so.
