In this episode, our heroine Tarellethiel, the dauntless High Elf, takes aim at The Evocator, who has plunged a ghostly village of departed townspeople into what may become an eternal darkness for them but for her magnanimous aid. Let us hasten to see the result of this fearsome fray.

The CM Patch "promoted" Jaftar the guide to Boss. Now there is a video recording of a player character engaging in battle with him; perhaps it is the first one published. So, without further delay, let us observe what transpires as our heroine, Tarellethiel the fearless and determined High Elf encounters him in a dank, dark, dungeon in Black Oaks.

In this installment of High Elf Niobium Boss Battles with CM 1.60 we find our fearless heroine, Tarellethiel Beriadanwen, pitted in a battle to the death with the powerful and dreaded White Griffin. The White Griffin has high Ice and Physical Damage resistance, which is the sum of the types of damage Glacial Thorns provides. The Griffin possesses a powerful spell which may deactivate the High Elf's buffs, Crystal Skin and Grand Invigoration rendering her virtually defenseless. So, we should expect to see her deploying Expulse Magic, the only defense she against such a spell.

"Dear Journal, this bitterly cold and blustery day I faced yet another fearsome and formidable flying foe, the Fury Brood-mother. It was something that I had to do, if for no other reason than to make the island safe for the human inhabitants who dwell here. For I have come to know and care for them deeply. As ever, I was determined to prevail and went boldly into its lair, ignoring the cautions of the kind folk and brushing off the icy sting of the wind swept snow."

"Dear Journal, Today I defeated The Ghost of Christmas Future and his vile associates. I know there shall indeed be other encounters with Boss Monsters this day, some of which will be much more formidable than was he."

Yet again, we find our hasty, hubristic High Elf heroine Aramelith forging headlong into an epic battle. This time she takes the business to Walther, who certainly has a few a few tricks of his own waiting for her. I fear that she left so hurriedly that I failed to remind her to take any health potions or do some research as to what she was getting into this time. Oh well, let us hope that her youthful impetuousness does not get the better of her this time.

Not being one to fear an extreme challenge, our fair and comely High Elf maiden Aramelith set straight out to prove her mettle and face the black of heart, wicked, and abysmal Abishai Of Dissension. Hastening her way ever faster, she resolved task after task, toiling and striving relentlessly, pressing ever closer to her goal. Now, finally reaching the Abishai Stronghold, she dismounts her trusty Rime Dragon and hurls herself toward the unspeakable evil, single-minded and resolute in her bid to destroy it forever.

In this video edition of Boss Battles with Aramelith The High Elf, we find her rushing bravely into a fateful fray with Narmul The Phoenix. This is her first encounter with a fearsome and mighty Ice & Blood Boss creature. Will she prevail or does her journey here end in her demise in this cold, lonely place, surrounded be the evil creature's previous opponents, now mere frozen statues surrounding his icy domain? Note: Narmul uses an attack similar to Dragon Strike but does ice damage and an attack similar to Incendiary Shower but does ice damage. He also has a trap that drains a player's Combat Art energy, and power that pulls the player towards him.

Here's another good example of how well a Single Aspect/Single Buff (Crystal Skin) Mystic Stormite High Elf build is successful at Niob level. She defeats Ghanka handily without use of even a single health potion.

Here the High Elf battles a fierce foe, the feared Kral of the Winged Daemons. She, a delicate High Elf with only a single buff and using frigid glacial thorns and he undefeated, well armored and armed with flaming fire and massive magic damage. Who will win? Place your bets everyone! (video 4K-available in settings)

Here's a level 60 High Elf defeating the Balrog... I mean Carnach. And yes, I am aware of the irony as it relates to my Gandalf Avatar.

Here the Single Buff Mystic Stormite High Elf is seen battling the braggadocios Dragon-boss Xanthiar with her devastating Glacial Thorns.

Diablo 2 Fallen View File Diablo 2 Fallen v15c Patch 15c standalone for those who downloaded v15 before March 9, 2023. Introduction: Diablo 2 Fallen is a semi-conversion mod for Sacred 2 that transforms the game world, character classes, items, enemies, and many more aspects into those of Diablo 2. Relevant Links: D2F Development Thread D2F Release Thread D2F on SacredWiki The Hellfire Arena Please read the following! This mod requires the latest version of the Community Patch (1.60) to be installed beforehand. Do not to have any other mods installed if you're going to play D2F. None. This is a huge mod and compatibility is very limited. Custom versions of many popular mods are already integrated. The Music Pack is a separate download available HERE. The music pack is required, otherwise you will experience some regions with no music at all. Leave "commentary" to NEVER in the options menu. If you don't turn commentary off you will hear a weird mix of vanilla and D2F character voices. Leave "Number of Speakers" to STEREO in the options menu. If you try to use 5.1 audio then the music and many sound effects will not play. The fonts needed for the interface are located in the "pak/fonts" directory of the mod. They are three .ttf files. Right-click each one and select "Install" to install them on your system. Detailed Install Instructions (New Users): Download the Generic Mod Enabler (GME) and install it to your Sacred 2 root folder. Mod Enabler is available at http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Miscellaneous/Generic-Mod-Enabler.shtml Root folder for Steam is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sacred 2 Gold Root folder for GOG or disk version may be as simple as C:\Sacred 2 Gold After running the GME once, it will make a folder called "MODS" there. Extract the contents of the D2F .zip file into the "MODS" folder. There should be four folders: "Diablo 2 Fallen v15", "D2F Inferno Patch", "D2F SuperSpawn, and "D2F Docs." The Docs folder is just for information and is not necessary to play. Extract the D2F music pack contents ("music" folder) into the "pak" folder of the mod. So the structure will look like: [Diablo 2 Fallen v15/pak/music]. Run the GME and enable Diablo 2 Fallen v15. It may take a long time to install. The GME will back up your clean files and will allow to you to easily enable/disable the mod as you wish. -Optional- "Inferno Edition" and/or "SuperSpawn" should be enabled after enabling the main mod. Overwrite warnings are to be expected. Disable before disabling the main mod. The fonts needed for the interface are located in the "pak/fonts" directory of the mod. They are three .ttf files. Right-click each one and select "Install" to install them on your system. Play with NEW characters only. Previous Users: Disable the old version of D2F with the GME (important!) Remove the old D2F folder from your "MODS" folder. Place the new "Diablo 2 Fallen v15" folder into the "MODS" folder. Enable as usual. -Optional- "Inferno Edition" and/or "SuperSpawn" should be enabled after enabling the main mod. Disable before disabling the main mod. Use old characters at your own risk. Legacy characters may have re-rolled bonuses on random items or odd/broken behavior for in-progress quests.

This is yet another idea I've had brewing in my head for a very long time. I found some time over the weekend to actually flesh it out enough to be able to share some of my ideas. I want to make a mod that adds new bosses and enemies. In addition to working with a few really cool monster types from Sacred 2, I also had this idea of "Wild Mounts." Why aren't there more tigers or lizards running around Ancaria? Most of the mounts have ecological niches where they would fit in, and it would be interesting to face revamped versions of them as foes (like the little Hell Hounds/big Hell Hound boss in the Blood Forest). Right now what I'm showing you is a boss roll-call. I've done just the barebones work here, creating the creatures, placing them on the map, and sketching out a basic quest-line for them. It's a looooong way from being finished, and since I've never made a quest before, it may not even be possible to do them. But, it's fun anyway, so, here's my ideas in rough campaign quest order: Radismus & Lucidius - Burning and Crystal Skeletons Two Elven sorcerers consumed and corrupted by a lust for power and magic, the twin brothers Radismus and Lucidius turned to dark magic to acheive their aims. They made their lair in the depths of the abandoned prison island off the coast of Thylysium. The remnants of corpses and evil psychic emanations of the sprawling stone dungeons was the perfect environment for the two necromancers to practice their craft. Evidently they acheived their goal of immortality, though in the most gruesome way. They remain as skeletons, shackled to a single room in the deepest level. Radismus remains consumed by his fiery hatred, and Lucidius frozen inside his icy misery. Their bodies are ruined but their magical power remains lethal. Shengis - Mountain Troll Shaman Deep in the mountains of Nor Plat, you find an injured allied Orc soldier. For days, the Orc has been tracking a particularly powerful Troll Shaman named Shengis. The Orc is unable to continue the hunt, but as a new member of the clan, you decide to finish the job. Shengis is brutally strong and possesses an arsenal of spells. Bast - Dragon Berserk On west Dragon Sea Island, a fearful dragon cultist approaches you and frantically tells you that one of the neophytes, Bast, has been attempting dragon magic way beyond his skills. Most recently he has foolishly dabbled with the Dragon Berserk spell, and lost all control after the transformation. He is now rampaging across the island. As a Dragon Berserk, Bast can use Lacerate and Blood Frenzy, and should be approached with the utmost caution. Father Dagon - Unique Monster After entering the Swamp through the magical portal, you meet a few members of an elven archaeological expedition hiding among the stone ruins of Khatuz. They tell you that they unearthed some ancient manuscripts in Bengaresh, then followed the signs north to the Hissil'Ta swamp, and in their searching awoke something terrible. Creatures that should lay in a deep dreamless sleep are now returning to life and corrupting the marshes. Something is gathering and controlling the Olm, normally mindless swamp creatures, and organzing them into fanatical legions. You decide to track down this unearthly being in the northern swamps. Mother Hydra After defeating Father Dagon, sinister clues point to an even more terrible and powerful creature in the drowned bogs of the southern swamps. Fighting down fear, you resolve to track down the ultimate source of the evil and put an end to it once and for all. Kumonga - Shroud Spider Kumonga is an enormous solitary Shroud Spider that lives in the vast wastes of the Bengaresh Desert. There are no settlements or structures near his territory. It is a desolate, barren place shunned by all. Kumonga comes from the ancient Du'Rach word for "spider," and there is evidence that its presence was known even in ancient times pre-dating the first human and elf settlements. Tekeli - Monitor Lizard The village of Eloeth Sun is split between a town on the Dyr-Lain mainland and a small island settlement, connected by a long wooden bridge. On the mainland, near one end of the bridge, you see a Dryad lizard trainer, visibly upset. She tells you her oldest Battle Monitor, Tekeli, has gone rogue the previous day. Half-blind and half-mad, the huge lizard went berserk and broke free while being saddled, fatally biting one Dryad rider and crippling another with a lash of her tail before retreating to the beach. The other Dryads were forced to abandon the small island village until someone is able to subdue the beast. I had a terrible time trying to un-saddle the Sabertooth Tiger and getting the fur effect to show up. It kept crashing my game, so my idea to make a Sabertooth boss in the Temple of Tears may or may not be created. I may put something else in that location, since it seems like the perfect place for a boss. I would probably integrate this with the Enhanced Spells Mod and/or the CM Items Mod, just so there aren't too many overlapping mods creating confusion and installation woes. That's all for now. Any thoughts on what might make a good boss, location, or quest storyline?
