Re: Act IV: The Cathedral Of The Damned

I wanna see how those windows react to monster shrines. They'll probably turn into windows vista.

:rolf::rolf:

lmao, I mean omg, that is the funniest post I've seen in SPF in my four years.

I'm more interested what happens when you actually break those Vistas. Does the entire server crash or do you get some special Windows\Linux CD case charm that cannot be removed once you identify it and it'll curse you forever?

It is my belief that once you ID any item from a Windows Vista boss, an OEM curse hits you, which limits the gear pieces you can upgrade.

Maybe we should ask Ken.

I rate this thread 5/5.

Re: Act IV: The Cathedral Of The Damned

Thats some seriously funny stuff!

but now I really wanna try it out, what are the odds of getting a monster shrine in the same map? but I suppose If you found a map with it you could just re-run the shrine locations to find one.

Then what about an act 5 one? like a barricade or catapult? hmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Boss barricade is liek "YOU SHALL NOT PAZ!"

Re: Act IV: The Cathedral Of The Damned

Just in case anyone really cares:

Epic fail on creating windows vista, Got a good map with a shrine in the center of the cathedral, but when I seeded it the shrine wasn't there anymore, weird, but it was just outide of it, so I think its still a fair test.

Shot #1
Shot #2

Checked everything and no monster got changed (I cleared out the whole City first)
I think it took over 300 tries to get that shrine, that was annoying, I didn't think they were that rare. And in that time I only got 2 Gem shrines and 2 portal shrines (the other rare ones I believe)

I still want to see if I can make anything else a monster(I know scimitars and vile children have been done).

(I do know how to safely seed, and destroyed the seed after the test, FYI)

Nice try, kestegs. :thumbup:

I highly doubted it would work, but it's good to see proof. Monster shrines are indeed pretty rare. I might see one per act, two if I'm lucky, and that's with full clears.

I've created boss scimitars, baby spawners, and a baby maggot. Oddly enough, a regular crow nest did not convert to a boss or champ, despite the fact that both are possible to find. I clicked a shrine very close to the nest and it failed.

Other failures include various traps and a river snake. I killed both snake tails leaving the head alive, half a screen from shrine. No luck.

Re: Act IV: The Cathedral Of The Damned

I´ve created a Cold Enchanted Fallen with a Monster Shrine. Its Shaman kept resurrecting the fallen (it was too dangerous to kill the Shaman anytime soon, becuase if a nasty archer pack), so I got to "enjoy" dealing with the death nova 5 times...

Another failure: Council Member (minion).

uhh... where's the screenshot(s) for those unwilling to use the -seed command?

Insane Wayne posted a couple:

I love smashing those windows! It's a rare treat, but not that rare for players who regularly do full clears. One of my recent builds had some fun there, a bowler druid. Rocks > Glass. Very appropriate!

Also saw some free-standing windows AE mentioned.

 

[Old_Frog]

I deeded one of my first tournament zealots in there when a swarm of those lightning bats drove me into the corner in hit lock and my desert merc just stood right around the corner and watched the horror. I was busy smashing windows out with my Black flail and they appeared out of thin air. Nasty place, still gives me the shivers!

 

[Mungojerry1]

IIRC it is used for a quest in MXL, you shatter all the windows and get a charm or stat boost or something. It's not that uncommon.

Funny that this thread was necro'd recently, as I was just walking through Act 4 on my Kicker.

Didn't there used to be some strange rumour about how smashing them all could open a portal to fight some secret boss or something? I remember there being all sorts of random Diablo 2 hullabaloo way back when.

[tokerdin]

thats cool ive never seen that before. im about to run my barb through act 4 ill have to try to find it.
I dont know how rare it is or how well known but a few days ago running my trav barb through act 1 i found a hidden door in the the jails with a big room and some chests. i wish i had grabbed a screen shot

 

[pharphis]

^It's relatively common if not always there.

 

[Mezion]

Did they change the frequency of its spawn? Also, is there more areas like this? (Rare spawn with a very unique layout).

Makes me wonder if there's not some cool temples spawn edin act3 from that to time and that everyone skips.

 

[krischan]

I cannot remember that I've ever seen it, but that's probably because I'm usually running through the City of the Damned as quickly as possible because I want to cash in the Hellforge rune and kill Diablo . I think I will finally try to look for it.
