Full TZ Act 1 - 5 run (mixed player settings)

Hi All,

I started on 5/19/2026 11 PM just playing scheduled TZs. I did not know at the time I was playing 3.2. Around 7pm today I cleared out 100% of the game with all acts Terrorized.

Here are some facts I was able to capture through the chat logs:
Act 1 Heralds: 21
Act 2 Heralds: 28
Act 3 Heralds: 15
Act 4 Heralds: 8
Act 5 Heralds: 27
Cow Heralds: 02
Total: 101
Cow TZ appeared as I was playing the game usually. I cleared everything everywhere. I put the PC into hibernation mode in between sessions. I TZed the next Act only after finishing the current Act. Took my time and just enjoyed the game. The experience was rock solid.

I got two sunder charms, Cold and Poison. Which is pretty cool I guess, since my Merc does good cold damage.

Mostly I played at PS 7 or 8, not realizing the drop chance had changed. I play with 250% MF. Though I only figured I could play with high MF more than 1/2 way through my run. The first 1/2 I played with ~120ish MF and got nothing. The two charms dropped in the last 20% of my run.

My Bound Demon is probably around lvl 88. I'm now cLVL 93. It can tank and do a lot of damage. The reason I play cold merc is to slow the enemy down and give the demon a chance to attack. The only difficulty is with Heralds that can

Stun, that's why the cold merc is crucial as she pauses the attacks just enough for the Demon to fight back. I got Stone Skin as the modifier for TZ and that was a pain. Next time I will reset the gameplay if I get Stone Skin again. Some of the heralds at PS8 were a long long grind.

Funny thing is I didn't read much about the game meta, I happen to get

Fanaticism aura the first time around and loved how it boosted the merc, which then gave the demon frozen enemies to shatter. I tried

Conviction and didn't enjoy the game. I play with two defilers and

Engorge mostly. I swap to

Goatman or

Tainted occasionally if the defilers do not make sense in a situation.

Not to be a party pooper but..sunders don't work for your merc. Sadly.
