[Hardcore Single Player] First time Pandemonium Event

Another Update:

I will start over. I realized that I made it harder on myself than it needed to be. I spawned them on Players 5.
After farming 9 more keys and doing the whole ordeal again to this point, I will send another update here

On the bright side I am now much less concerned, having gone toe to toe with

Uber Mephisto on Players 5 and survived, hell, gotten pretty close to killing him.

Talk to you guys later

Uber Tristran requires another play style because:
1. No town portal: you got to protect the red portal.
2. Mass summons: The amount and frequency of summons is much more than anywhere else in the game. And they com with immunities.
3. You have to learn how to separate the big 3. If you mess this up and they block the red portal, you won't recover with your char/setup. And the map is quite small. Minor mistakes can lead to no area to retreat to.

So despite me wanting to motivate you to try Ubers with many different chats, I'd recommend first to learn the map with something easier, i.e. a smiter. They can do even with budget gear.
You might even find the missing gear while building/leveling him.

I'd stick with

Life Tap for Uber Meph and use Decrep for

Uber Baal. Uber Meph does a ton more damage than the rest, therefore practically mandating the use

Life Tap.

Decrep for

Uber Baal, similar to normal

Baal, appears to sort of "break" his AI, causing him to not use

Teleport or make a clone of himself. If your source of Decrep is coming from Lawbringer on you or your merc, it can also help shred the PI ghosts and vampires he spawns.

And yeah, Smiter Paladin. FTW

The problem is that in over 20 years of playing this I haven't had a Chuck Norris drop yet. I'm beginning to think I'll never finish my grail.

Ah. There are days when my Barb could use

Key binds for Roundhouse Kicks, a Clothesline Take down, or

Blade Chop to the throat... And a

Belt full of Whoop @ss...

And as to the Grail thing... I've been playing so long and I fully believe that I have not truly found all of the uniques in this game. I have to have missed one along the way.
