Anyone else had this happen?

Just started Act II Hell difficulty with a new char and after completing the

Radament quest wandered over to

Jerhyn's palace to trigger the next one. Was able to walk right past the guards to talk to him in the foyer without being stopped. Took me a second to even notice it then realizing the potential implications doubled back and was able to walk straight through the palace to

The Arcane Sanctuary from there. Was this always possible and I just didn't realize it or is this a genuine bug? Realize I still need to get the staff pieces but glad to have the two most

Skeleton archeriest sections of the game done in one go at least (doing WW Barb for first time and think this is the most I've ever hated them)

Seen it happen all the time in online games, which I'm not into that often these days.

Never seen it in offline SP.

Thanks, yeah, online game

Is this reproducable? This would make rushing to

Larzuk much faster, since you can "produce" 7 staffs in one run and use them in following rushes.

Do TPs to Sanctuary work with this bug?

I had it happen once before Online.. Never again had it happen, and I was the only one in the game.. I Just ran right past the guards and just went down. Should have of failed the Quest check also. Only thing I recall was I had a stupid amount of walk speed on a twinked char.

I've tried to replicate it, but never have been able.

Edit: It was on Nightmare at the time..

This actually is totally reproducible. I do not know the steps myself, but there is another on this site/forum who seemingly either knows how to, or by the way he rushes me, is accidentally consistently going around

Jerhyn.

As a matter of fact, I don't even talk to

Jerhyn. Or go anywhere near the Palace. We grab the parts, then he drops a portal in

The Arcane Sanctuary and we just blast

Tal's tomb.

I'll have to ask him, idk how he does it, but he does, and consistently. I've done prolly at least half a dozen or so with him at this point. All the same way.

Thanks to everyone for feedback. Yeah have no idea what I did, like I said caught me completly off guard. Only fairly normal amount of frw from Waterwalks. If you figure out the exact steps let us know

This is a secret worth revealing. Hope your mystery benefactor shares the love.

I will get back on this for sure. I've been playing on and off for decades, I've expereinced the online bugs in Act 2 and Act 5 multiple times (you can skip ancients and go straight to the Throne room and then go back and do antients again for xp if you're not in a rush).

So ik there are other ways to skip content. I just don't know the steps.

Ik I'm an asshole for doing this lol.

Meh, after 20 plus years of this game, I've done so many "legit" complete playthroughs that I feel no guilt about rushing/skipping some characters.
