is it possible to 'glitch' run with LoD?

I was reading some of the classic forum, and they describe a 'glitch' run-- where you can trick the game into doing the quests over and over again for that difficulty.
Is that possible for the expansion (version1.12) as well? I play only single player.
If it is possible, then how do you do it? I have just finished NM and have not yet started a Hell level game.

I don't think that I understand you correctly. If I do, then the answer is no. Do you mean that you can use charsi's imbue quest as many times as you want? (no) Or that you can get as many hellforges as you want? (no)

If you mean that you can get andarial to always drop with the special quest drop, then yes. You just talk to Warriv after killing her everytime. If you kill andy and leave the game without talking to warriv, you can't get the quest drop with that player ever again (in that difficulty). Also, if you have a chracter that has killed, for example, Meph, and another that has not, then you can start a MP game with the chracater who has killed meph and then join with the other and kill meph. The second character won't complete the quest, but he will get the quest drop. You can repeat this. You need to use a mod to do that on your own.

hmmm. I mean to always get the special quest drop with single player.

Snicker covered that. With Andariel you can do that in SP (see above), while for the other bosses you need to be in a TCP/IP game, but still using SP characters.

This may work on Bnet. Start a game with character that haven't get the boss kill, perm it, then switch to your MF character and kill the boss. I notice this on Countess run where the quest chest in her room always pop for me.

No that doesn't work. Whether you get a quest drop or not is determined by who makes the kill, not who made the game.

Then why is the quest chest always open even when my character already done that quest several time?

The countess chest works that way, but no one really wants that. The boss glitch works differently.

I do hate to argue, but I really wanna find out the reason behind your absolute certainty. Did you guys hex edit the game and look at the game mechanism? The way I see it, a quest kill is required to open Countess chest, same as a quest kill is required to get better drop from the boss. Enlighten me how's that different?

Re: is it possible to 'glitch' run with LoD?

It has to do with how the game creates each session, based on what quests the creater has completed. If you have already rescued cain for example, he will be there waiting in town, and no one can compete that quest. If the creater has not killed the countess yet, then it preps the chest to open when she is killed, which in this case happens no matter who kills her. Bosses, if the creater has killed them before, are marked to have have one set of loot, but then when someone who hasn't completed the quest comes in, it goes to a different setting... which has more drops.

So you're saying if the creator has not yet kill the boss, boss will drop better stuff. But if the creator leave the game and someone else came in, the boss loot will be reset, but the countess chest is leave intact? Am I the only who see the double standard here?

I don't know about the countess' chest, I've never tried to glitch that and I don't see why anyone would.

But, if you read my post, that is how act bosses work. I am certain because I've run bosses enough to see that pattern. Andarial always drops a normal gem on the quest drop and may not in a normal drop, so it's pretty easy to see it for her.

It's possible that the countess' chest works differently, but that isn't relevant to act bosses.

No, that's backwards :crazyeyes:
