Ther eis just no way i can get past the Ice Golem At the about 25% of the snake pass in the beginning, they deepfreeze me and i am death man

Ice golem? The only ice golem I remember seeing is the one between the Dreadnaught's zone and the chests. He usually doesn't zone close enough to the path to be a problem.

I think he is going from Beacon's Perch....

I'll sign for the workshop for 3k.
IGN: Ibex Savior

Mabe I didnt read carefully, but where is Dreadnought's Drift? It sounds extremely familiar, and I must have been there a million times. I tried to get here from snakedance, but the Heretics own me with their disenchant.

And I doubt he's going from beacons, since the imps make your run extremely annoying ,and the wurm owns you since he can be anywhere and u neveer know

no the mans right....sometimes there is 1 or 2 ice golemns by the tunnel in snake dance (i would know...i do forge runs frequently)...

If you leave from Camp Rankor you will only encounter the lvl 10 golems and they don't use deep freeze. Only Frozen Burst and Ice Spikes.

And ibex333 Dreadnought's Drift is the instance between Lornar's Pass and Snake Dance. It is the instance crawling with Stone Summit and it is also the spot where Maw The Mountain Heart pops up. (wurm boss with Feast of Corruption)

these runs rock ive gotten so many ritualist items and max dmg serpents, sephis and sweet looking earth staffs

ibex333 · Jan 21, 2006, 10:11 PM // 22:11

This run is frigging IMPOSSIBLE!!! (metaphor)
I am a VERY experienced 55hp monk and I have been farming many many areas of the game including, but by far not limited to UW. But this.... is something entirely insane. Balanced stance doesnt work agains the giants. It gets ripped away as soon as I near them, just like it was some kind of enchant. I checked many times, and every time same shit happens. I must have died like 30 times!!! And then, I was finally nearing Dreadnought's Drift, when suddenly.... There was this gigantic group of trolls+giants there must have been like 70 of them all together. I tried getting through that place many many times.. and every time I died cause of KD. That's despite I always cast Balanced Stance... Eventually I had to give up, cause I spent like 3-4 hours trying to get there.... If Anet nurfs this place they would be real bastards, because this run is INSANELY hard and ppl who make it, DESERVE to get something in return for this craziness. Still how do you guys use balanced stance? It doesnt work for shit. Mabe it was "nurfed" yesterday or somth? As soon as I take the 1st "giant stomp" the stance instantly dissapears.

P.S: What drok's running shoes were u talking about? Knight's??

Murder In China · Jan 21, 2006, 10:25 PM // 22:25

Balanced stance is a stance.

[DE] · Jan 21, 2006, 10:31 PM // 22:31

u dunt need to solo it, u just need to run to the chests. but now that theres been a guide about it these chests will be nerfed soon. i suggest not posting guides about places that can benefit you alot and are glitchy.

yikes!! how could I have been so dumb... DOOH!! *slaps himself on the forehead*

But... how the hell do u run past the giants then??? Unless u kill em, they'll KD you into oblivion before you'll run past em.

Murder In China · Jan 22, 2006, 01:32 AM // 01:32

They are cowards and will stop chasing you if you just nip their arggo or kill them.

ibex333 · Jan 22, 2006, 09:10 PM // 21:10

Heh.. Well I finally made it to the strongbox, but I think it was nerfed because the author says there's 1 heretic there, but there's in fact 4-5, and the groups are positioned in such a way that you cannot get to the strongbox without aggroing at least 2 of them. I died like 25 times, but I'm a patient person, and somehow... I made it, just to be killed 3 seconds after I opened the box.

HERE ARE THE EXTREMELY RARE SKINED ITEMS THAT POPED OUT:

I put this image here for a laugh. Not to bitch or complain. I perfectly understand that you cant get something good every time. I took this dissapointment with a smile, and went on with my life

The Frozen chest however.. DOES drop very rare armors..(no golds though) Even those that I never seen.

Anarion Silverhand · Jan 22, 2006, 09:30 PM // 21:30

hmm. I did a test run with my Warrior, and there are in fact 1 heretic. The chest DOES drop rare skinned items. It got me a clean dwarven axe and a purple Serpent axe. Please don't jump to conclusions.

also another thing i dont knowwhat you are talking about

tuna-fish_sushi · Jan 22, 2006, 11:19 PM // 23:19

In order to run past giants just run into them throw up stance and run past em without rush / sprint then once they are out of ur aggro bubble then just rush/ sprint away.
The run is actually quite easy once u get halfway to the porter i recommend you die just for the dp, so you have 33life then put on a -20 icon for 13 health and your basicly invincible with p spirit always on and mending.
Hint: cast p spirit Right before you end balanced.
Also you can kill the tundra giants on the way there if you have too much dp.
Cast pspirit run into giants cast balacned then soj then right before balanced ends cast p spirit again and they should be dead b4 it runs out.

I'm not jumping to conclusions. I typed below the screenshot that I know that one cant get something good every time

And about 1 heretic. I'm telling ya, there was 4 of em near the strongbox, but mabe it's random? A bad spawn I guess.

EDIT: You are right... there is only ONE heretic. I mixed that up with Dolyak Masters(2-3 of em every time) for me it's almost the same thing even though the heretic is worse off course.
