Hi all,
I was wondering how long it should be taking me to kill Mephisto on
nightmare level (SP) with a lvl 40 Summoner/elemental druid? I have spent
many hours and died many times (dozens) and the bastard won't die! My
lightening is +26% and fire is +25% cold and poison approx -5% I have a
hireling from Act 3 but its costing me 24k to resurrect the bugger each time
so I've given up any ideas would be appreciated
thanks
Rory

Level up. My lvl38 Assasin is only 3/4 of the way thru NM act I, I expect to
be at least lvl 45+ by the time I finish act III and this is with varies items
that gives me a total of +5 lvl to all skills.

Regards
John Yuen

You are way under leveled, by 19 levels. Do some Kurast or Tomb runs
and get yourself in the 50's.

Hirlings are almost worthless against Bosses since they take 10X
damage.

You need a LOT more levels. Like at least ten more.

Theres a trick to killing Mephisto in Act 3 Nightmare (can also be used in
other difficulties), make sure you kill everything in the level before you
move towards the top of the screen to bring Mephisto into the game. DO NOT
try to fight him but instead run straight past and down one of the side
areas towards where you entered the level. Go back to town and buy a bow and
arrows, yes thats right a bow, go back down and creep up the left hand side
until you can just see Mephisto in the very top of the screen, ie: his name
appears at the top if you move the mouse around. Hold the shift key down
once his name appears as you don't want to walk towards him or he will float
across the fire, hold the attack button down and you should start firing
your arrows, I suggest you take a couple of packs down as it is quite slow
but eventually he should kill him. A crude way of killing him I know but hey
my lvl 38 Paladin killed him this way.

or... if you have access to Teleport, then set him loose and teleport back
across the gap... he just wanders around the edge of his bit and you can
blat him if you have ranged attack...

Well... it worked for me, although rember to clear out the rest of the first
part tho...

Or join a party. I wound up in act IV NM at level 40 thanx to
being in a party, but then discovered that I was *way* underpowered
for soloing.

I'm at level 51 now, and I still can't take on Diablo solo.

(Partying can really be a pain sometimes. Last night I did the
bloody foothills quest without ever getting a glimpse of Shenk,
and did the rescue quest without ever seeing a barbarian. I was
running around going "where is everybody, where is everybody" and
my quest log kept popping up while someone else got all the glory.
And drops.)
