BK12+ADV8
Ringo LV39 bow rogue
life 323 /mana 299 /Dex 299 /AC 72/ damage 86-94
Massive Bow Swiftness@4-8 109%(125)

Time/ 6min
Died/ 0

town/ 0



  • recommended bow-rogue
    clvl 41over *
    life 340 over
    mana 200over
    ~bow of swiftness
    7 red potions and 1 blue on your belt

mana shield is completely useless for this method

This method doesn't work when another chara is standing near
4th cage


because Bks can see your chara and another chara through the wall
and some of them chase after another chara


prepare






result: diablo and some monsters are lured at north
and others are lured at south

*casting apoc spell around the 4th cage will awake monsters inside
so you have better not to cast apoc near the 4th cage




being lured at north
diablo can't see the west corner
(because invisible walls cover his view)
and the south corner
(because it's too far)

so the best way to survive in the 4th cage is
to stay on these yellow squares
whenever you are inside the 4th cage

If you walk outside or tele outside from yellow squares
Diablo will soon find you and start to chase you
then 4th cage will be back to chaos again

Stay on these yellow squares to hide yourself from Diablo !
this is the most important thing in this method


*why over LV41 rogues are recommended ?

    Apocalypse Type: n/a
    Damage: 40
    Blockable: Yes
    Note: *Only Diablo can cast apocalypse.


    http://www.bigd-online.com/JG/Body/JG2-2.html

    Hit recovery
    When you are hit and don't block it, you will take damage.
    If the damage is big enough, your character will go through
    a hit recovery animation; you are stunned, during which
    you can't do anything. The hit recovery is initiated if the
    following conditions are met:
    Any character except the Barbarian:
    damage >= clvl

As soon as your rogue tele inside the 4th cage
Diablo will cast apocalypse(damage=40)

lvl30~40 rogue will be stunned(40>=clvl) by his apoc spell
and she can't do anything during 0.35sec
(if she doesn't have any hit recovery items on )

many BKs will rush to your rogue and box and hit her
your rogue will die if you don't have huge good-luck

and in many case you will fail to lure diablo at north
because rushing Bks will block the north corner
and Diablo can't enter the north corner

but over LV41 rogue never be stunned
by Diablo's apocalypse (40<clvl)

over LV41 rogues can lure diablo easily
without any items

you wanna try this method
with your clvl30~40 rogue ?

    2. - damage taken
    Having any item with a suffix that reduces damage
    (or in the case of a cursed suffix, increases it),
    will reduce any damage, even magical,done by a
    monster by the combined amount of all the suffixes
    you are wearing. Damage can never be reduced
    below 1 by

-damage taken items will help you
your rogue will never be stunned if the following conditions are met:
reduced Diablo's apoc damage<your rogue's clvl

clvl 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
-damage taken -11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1

OBS Helm of deflection@40% -4damage taken from enemies
OBS Plate of deflection@40% -4damage taken from enemies
these items are hard to get , but

  • scavenger carapace (uniq armor)
    -15damage from enemies/ ac-10 /dex+5 /L-resist+40%
this uniq armor is easy to get

my rogue:)

shoot them

many BKs are lured at north, few BKs at south
and no BKs at west, so you can tele to the west corner
(you can't tele to the east corner because Diablo can see there)




Bks are lured at the west ,no BKs at the south
so you can tele to the south corner
(you can't tele to the east corner because Diablo can see there)



repeat
1~6

until you kill all the BKs and ADVs between the west and the south


  • you have better kill all ADVs first,and Bks next

    concentrate on counting your arrows

    many many ADVs---shoot 2 arrows and drink 1 red and tele out quickly
    many ADVs---shoot 3-4 arrows and tele out quickly
    few ADVs---shoot 5-6 arrows and tele out quickly (aim and kill ADVs first)

    after you killed all ADVs between the west and the south

    let's kill BKs

    many many BKs----shoot 2~3 arrows and tele out quickly
    many BKs---------shoot 4~6 arrows and tele out quickly
    few BKs-----------shoot over 6 arrows and tele out quickly


note
1.Take care not to shoot the north corner
when you are on the yellow square of the south corner
because your arrow may hit diablo and awake him


2.Bks are chasing you for 1~2 sec

after you have teleported out from 4th cage.

So you have better wait a sec every time before you tele inside.
Or you have better walk between the west corner and the south corner
insted of teleporting. then you don't have to wait a sec

Then you can take long distance away from BKs




all BKs and ADVs between the west and the south

have got killed

Why I can't teleport on the yellow square well ?


WEST COENER
click this point to tele exactly on the yellow square


SOUTH CORNER click this point to tele exactly on the yellow square

**********************************************************


NORTH CORNER click this point to tele exactly on the yellow square


EAST CORNER click this point to tele exactly on the yellow square


finish

Getting hit by your arrow
they will awake and rush to you
Tele or run everywhere you want
and kill all except diablo

good luck !

Shoot north!

my rogue on the yellow square in south
no one can see the north corner from here


"Magic circle will guide your arrows" by eye-less old rogue

shoot 2-3 arrows to point 1 and listen
if you hear the sound that your arrows hit BK or ADV
shoot more to point 1

if you don't hear any sound
shoot 2-3 arrows to point 2 and listen

if you hear the sound that your arrows hit BK or ADV
shoot more to point 2

take care not to hit diablo first
then you can kill many of them safely




the end

another way

when you couldn't lure diablo at the north corner or
when you have awaken diablo and he started to crazy-run again
this method will help you

lure diablo at west corner
and use the north corner and east corner
to kill ADVs and BKs
insted of the west corner and the south corner
