Jake in the desert<p>Finally making some damn progress on level 9 in Diablo with my rogue run. </p><p>A big key for the rogue here is firing arrows toward where you know the monsters are (once you've died from them enough times to learn, ffs) to taunt them to come over near one of these wood enclosures with the door. </p><p>Then, you run inside, close the door, and fire out, chugging health potions. It works. They run over fast and want to surround you. My rogue Alathra is level 18 now, and pretty tough (Arkaines Valor etc) but if the monsters surround you on floor 9, they'll just kill you over and over. You can't even chug potions fast enough. </p><p>So I fully filled my inventory with health potions, had a town portal ready to go, kept saving every time I killed a few more, and I think I'm finally getting somewhere now. </p><p>I mean, I kept dying here a LOT. Was even trying Stone Curse, melee weapons, anything. It was brutal. Maybe now I can progress some more. </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Diablo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Diablo</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PS1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PS1</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PSX</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PS1Mini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PS1Mini</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PSXMini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PSXMini</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/emulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emulation</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/emulate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emulate</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/emulating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emulating</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/arpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arpg</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/arpgs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arpgs</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/rogue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rogue</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/rogues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rogues</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/monsters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>monsters</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DiabloTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DiabloTips</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DiabloTricks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DiabloTricks</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/RetroGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGames</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/playstation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>playstation</span></a></p>
Jake in the desert<p>Alathra's now level 16 and I'm starting in on floor 9, which is of course where that difficulty ramps up! However, I just went back to kill the Butcher and now I'm gonna take out Leoric. The Butcher was SO easy to take out with a level 16 rogue 🤣 I figure Leoric will be too. Diablo tip - wait to kill these two til later, when you're stronger! 🔥</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Diablo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Diablo</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PS1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PS1</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PSX</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PS1Mini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PS1Mini</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PSXMini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PSXMini</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/arpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arpg</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/arpgs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arpgs</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/emulating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emulating</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/emulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emulation</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/emulators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emulators</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Autobleem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autobleem</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/rogue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rogue</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/rogues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rogues</span></a></p>
Jake in the desert<p>Update - I played a little bit yesterday and today, my rogue Alathra is now level 5. Cleared out floors 1 and 2 except for the butcher, trying to get a little more experience down on floor 3 here etc before I tackle him. </p><p>It's SO much fun (I always have to speed it up though, the regular walk is so slow -- there's a tip for ya, as long as you can deal with slightly faster monsters. It's a game changer for me). </p><p>It's just a thrill every time I play this game. I always forget how much I love its AMAZING soundtrack and sound effects. I remember first seeing it at my friends house when it first came out, and I've been hooked ever since. </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Diablo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Diablo</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PS1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PS1</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PSX</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PS1Mini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PS1Mini</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PSXMini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PSXMini</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/emulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emulation</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/emulating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emulating</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/RetroGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGames</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/rogue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rogue</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/rogues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rogues</span></a></p>
