@anrusa Putting such a strong boss there, with all NPCs in town telling you "Oh yeah, you have to defeat this monster", that's some nasty thing to do.š
Same with Leoric the following level, though it's a bit easier in single player than in multiplayer, as when you're playing solo he's in a separated area, in multi he's just roaming around in level 3.šµ
@anrusa Most of my playtime is actually in multiplayer, as I used to play it a lot around 20 years ago with one of my cousins, when we went to his home for vacations. Diablo II was already released, but we didn't have a second copy of it back then, contrary to the first one we both had.
