Hardcore, PX, can only used crafted items, no charms. Runewords must be from cubed runes and crafted bases.
Challenge one: Kill Andariel with your bare hands
Solution: Start game on P8. Level up until level 6. Find Skill shrine, kill Blood Raven on P1, use Inner Sight to lower her defense, so we can hit her. Reward: Act 1 mercenary. Start with cold (more damage, crowd control) then once Amazon is level 13, switch to fire, so the Rogue can use Explosive Arrow.
Level up to 14 for Amazon / 13 for Rogue. Put all points into vitality since you’ll mostly tank.
Andariel fight was a piece of cake, with the Rogue positioned in my “shadow”, so the poison can’t hit her.
