Hello everyone!
This is part 1 of the Diablo 2 Guided Playthrough for the Paladin! Chat voted on my twitter ( / mrllamasc ) and chose this as the next playthrough.
We will be playing a zealot that transforms into a hammerdin. Normal, Nightmare, and Hell are all planned, however if things go well we might consider going after Ubers as well :D
Broadcasted live on Twitch -- Watch live at / mrllamasc
I did my part to stick it to the Twitch comments by subscribing.
What about you?
Yep same here

I love how every time I watch his newer videos, I can slowly see stuff getting added to his counter top.
I don’t tend to comment on videos, but this was the first guided playthrough I ever did, I’ve since played through them all, but I’ve come back to this one as I finally got to level 99, also only 18 left on the grail. Couldn’t have done it without your videos. Thanks for it all, MrLlamaSC.

Thank you so much
48:02 talks about skills at level 10.
1:06:52 skills decision.
2:07:54 talks about hammer path hitting enemy.
Tiny details MrLlama didn't tell:
At level 6 there is a small chance that belts (room for 12 pots) are sold. Gambling for them refreshes Gheed faster than it is to use a wp or run out of town and back in. Paladin needs the least amount of pots so this is more useful anywhere else but here :D
When you get Holy Fire, a scimitar is always better because most of the damage comes from the fire and scimitar can have 2 sox which is useful for Steel runeword or poison or cold dmg and has the highest attack speed, so always check for it when you're shopping. Scimitar needs 21 dex which is 1 more than the Paladin starts with. Putting the first 5 point into dex pays off double.
Holy Fire works on a bow as well, which is fun and safer, but slightly slower and when you're lvl 12 you can't zeal with a bow, but at level 15 you _could_ have a Raven bow that has splash dmg and the fire from Holy fire also adds to that splash, making that bow the best weapon in the game for a Holy Fire zealot and _if_ you have it, it's effective until about half way through nightmare, so respeccing around lvl 20 is then respeccing around 26-30. Hammers suck in maggot lair, so keeping the Raven until after that is a good idea. If you're super lucky you even have a Twitchthroe armor that gives increased attack speed and strength and dex enough to use the bow but can only be equipped at lvl 16 or higher.
Cow King in normal has a fairly high chance to drop Death Set. The Death sash cannot be frozen and the gloves give 30 increased attack speed if you also have the belt. Obviously this isn't as useful if it's your first character and you won't be zealing for long anyway, but if you already have an MF sorc, it might be worth it to pick up the partial set for new characters. It also gives 10 all res and some life steal. If you don't have this, bloodfists will be a nice find along the way. 10 increased attack speed and 40 life and I think 30 faster hit recovery which the death set doesn't have.
My god please use paragraphs
There's no guides out there for early game
6:18 Try to immediately get a scepter for good attack speed and damaage
32:39 Shopping tricks
48:04 Level 10 skill point decisions. Planning ahead for Level 12
56:26 Keep an eye out for 2os scimitar (or any sword, axe, mace) for Level 13 Steel (Tir El). Level 15 Malice (Ith El Eth) in a flail or other 3os melee weapon would also be a good runeword later
1:34:31 Malice would be an upgrade from Steel
1:41:25 Cube recipe: 3 chipped gems of any kind and a Magic Item (e.g. scepter) rerolls the item and adds a socket
1:48:28 Crafting Stealth armor
1:55:41 Level ~1-17 Holy Fire build recap before Hammerdin respec at 2:01:10
1:50:39 There is no benefit in leveling the same Merc. They aren't like Pokemon.
2:08:03 Hammer hit trajectory
2:26:50 XP/Acts chart
2:42:24 Before Level 24, shop Act 3 Ormus for Teleport charges staff. Only look at the staffs with a red background because the red means items that have a Level 24 requirement that we can't equip yet. It's an easy way to save time while refreshing Ormus' inventory when zoning in and out of town
2:03:16 & 2:49:16 Alternating between skill points
2:54:27 Synergies only come from hard points, not soft points from items
2:55:28 How does +1 All Skills work?
3:05:58 Starting in Act 5, 4os Paladin shields can drop. Rush to get an early Spirit shield
3:23:11 Cow Level cannot drop 4os Crystal Swords, Broad Swords, Long Swords, only bases that you have to socket using Socket Quest or Cube socket recipe
3:50:10 Hunt for gem shrines in Stony Field while carrying a Flawless gem to upgrade to Perfect
Paladin strengh : badass. Paladin weakness : can't die
Paladin weakness: tiny corridors lol
@@MrLlamaSC maggot lair D:
honestly biggest reason i never played a lot of hammerdin. i hated having to position weird just to hit stuff. a lightning zealot with Grief tho.....
imagine wanting to end it all but being literally unable to die
A year later, I'm watching every guided playthrough. 20 years, just when I got out, Diablo 2 pulled me back in!
The trick to skip the way from the palace to Meshif after killing Duriel with a tp was worth the watch alone. Thanks for that.
Okay, speed runs are awesome. But I think it's cool that you are just playing, chilling, and teaching your viewers about the game.
Big up for 4 hours of watching how mobs get hammered and pounded.
Man, I've always loved your vids but you've really upped your game since Blizzcon. Fantastic stuff.
Also, when are you gonna do more viewer speedruns? those were always very fun to watch.
@@piskalmighty Not sure yet, trying to pump out the list of content I have planned first :D
I noticed this too!
yeah im so glad this happened, i dont know how many subs he got by it but he really deserves it for all the content, quality and the most enjoyable streams on yt (i rarely catch him live sadly) and the friendly chat is a big bonus
That series is absolute fantastic. And everytime i learn new stuff. No wonder why D2 is one of my favorite games of all time. LG from Germany
These guides are boss for someone like me coming back to D2 after many years. I've started like 5 classes using these guides this week. Thanks Llama!
I've played Diablo 2 on and off since release, years and years and years. Always googling and studying mechanics. But I swear to the Almighty Deckard Cain that I have learned more about this games "hidden" mechanics from MrLlama's videos over the past few weeks than I ever learned in all those years actively playing, even in USEast prime years.
Anyone else watching these to get reacquainted so we can pop into d2 resurrected later?
yeah , wise choise i made it
*so hype*
yes, me it has been so long since I played d2, but it's getting back to me
@h34dbug lol no u cant use ur old d2 characters
@h34dbug In single player only. You can't port over any old Bnet characters to the new Bnet.
tried my first guided playthrough and followed along and i honestly really enjoyed it. would love to see more of this with ressurected. love your content. thank you sir
Paladin just reminds me of college. He was my highest lvl at the time and I spent many nights staying up way too late pounding beef as fast as possible on my zealdin. Missed it live last night but I'm glad I can watch it now.
haven't we all stayed up all night pounding some beef? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Don't worry, the Twitch comments settle down after the first 45 minutes XD
Thank you! It's terrible to watch. Rewinded to that timestamp :)
Twitch chat is great lol
Chat is great. I am reading it whole the time! But announcments with sound are horrible. If you just leave it with video only, without sound, I'll be fine :) (most streamers I was watching, when recording guides usually turn off announcer sounds)
You have a lot of patience MrLlamaSC
Prooobably just turn of announcements for the next one..
You are a more patient man than I, MrLlama. Would've muted TTS before I was even born to make this video. Great video, btw. Maximum comfy to watch and I swear I learn new stuff in this game all the time even though I've been playing it since release.
Got me back into D2. This'll be my first character in I can't tell you how many years.
I found a 30% Nagel at level 12, I was pretty stoked.
I'm not even through Nightmare with my play-along Amazon, but I can't stay away from these vids.
This is one of the greatest videos. I never learned so much and laughed so hard at a Diablo video.
As a paladin, do you feel like you get asked to stay a while and listen over and over again?
Hey llama not sure if you knew this but arcane sanctuary has a tell. 75% of the time is up. If not up its down. If you can figure out why you will be laughing because of how simple it is. I’ll give you a hint. Character level. One more hint odds and even. Cool to see someone rip a game I used to play religiously. Awesome content
justin jones can’t tell if you’re joking or not because people have literally gone into the files of the game and we know that the Arcane Sanctuary really is a true random generation
From this video alone I've learnt more than any other tutorials on how to build character (not only paladin). This video alone is worth a subscription. Thanks dude
best life advice ever given " when your going through hell you will wanna respec" - MrLlamaSC
29:01 - one of the best parts of the playthrough. Thank me later.
Thanks man.
This is the legendary video that started "pound these guys".... gonna go down in history.
I haven't been watching your videos for to long but the guided playthroughs seem to be the best and most helpful I have seen
My brother and I used to do LAN duo runs on this game. Paladin + Necromancer/Druid is so much fun. Mass skeletons with thorns is pure shenanigans.
So pleased you made this llama!! Am farming bugged Andarial on hell with my Javazon at the mo and watched all three or your videos all the way through which were so informative... Several times actually as you are super quick!!! Keep up the good work and thank you!
Hey I just wanted to tell you llama I really appreciate your videos bro. I just started playing Diablo recently about a week ago. I'm 33 years old and I haven't played this since my freshman year of high school lol. Me and my friend would come home and play Diablo and I was a paladin and he was a barbarian and we both saw the whole game. Well we grew up and we stopped playing but we always talked about playing this game again so I decided to download it and you're the only RUclipsr that seems like you have a head on your shoulders with something inside of it LOL. Great content very professional
All this dude pounding in tight corridors is making me hungry to start a Paladin
So glad I found this, I use to play this back in the day and am so excited for the remaster. Never really used rune words wasn’t ever sure how to use them. This video is extremely helpful can’t wait till the 23rd to start on my hammerdin
this was pound for pound the best guide out there
I've been listening to this while I'm at work in preparation for tonight and the pounding twitch comments had me properly lmao'ing. Thank you 🤣🤣 Also, the video was actually full of useful information. I was playing d2 from launch and I'm quite embarrassed to admit that i didn't know I could heal my Merc with shift!
You and everyone who talks like this and enjoys it are fuckin idiots.
@@yauker its not His problem if you got a shi* life dumb** . Stay off youtube or every social media and please for fu** sake , go get some help. 💯🤮
@@yauker go away.
Been listening at work, watching during breaks. That's a lot of pounding even for a D2 vet mine me! XD
@@yauker why you so mad bro
I learned that squirrels fail to recover 74% of nuts buried! Thank you!
These guided playthru videos are amazing. They will still be watched on youtube 100 years from now
You should go for the 4,680% fhr break point.
Roy Batty seems reasonable
I started following you right after Blizzcon - I dont really have use for your guides or videos - i dont play Diablo 2 anymore - but it is so very calming listening to you man - and I love the long 4 hour videos :) Keep it up !
I just started the video cant wait to see the whole series, the paladin was and remains my main D2 char for over 20 years now. so much fun ! Cheers
Man ive been playing since the early 2000s and I still learn a ton from your playthroughs. Awesome content as always!
This was very rewarding to play through with your guide. I followed this along on bnet and killed hell baal. This was much more fun than sitting in trist runs...tomb runs..etc being passive and leaching exp. Can't decide which guide to play next.
Oh, this is how you're supposed to play the game. I just killed everything that passed my way and also only once. I had no clue about where to put in attribute points and what skills to unlock so I divided them evenly. After 3 days of playing for 2-3 hours, I'm still in act I and haven't even entered the tower yet :D Several years ago a friend convinced me to play D2, but my paladin didn't survive act 3 - he wanted me to play on hardcore. Well, after the paladin was screwed I quit the game and turned to others. But now in spite of D2 - Resurrected I wanted to give this game one more shot to prepare for the revamp. Thanks for the helpful tips anyway and hope to see you stream/yt Resurrected when it is released :)
Thanks for making these walk-throughs! I played D2 many years ago and enjoyed it, but I was only able to complete the game all the way through hell with a couple characters. I didn't know how to make the best use of skills with other characters. Now I want to get the game again and try the paladin, assassin, sorceress, and necromancer for sure. I've also picked up so many other tips, like useful rune words that are relatively easy to get, proper use of a mercenary, and the fact that I don't have to try to kill every monster! I also didn't realize that things like teleport charges could be used by any character, not just the sorceress. I'm looking forward to getting back into the game with some better knowledge.
I like twitch trolling, but I also like watching people teach me how to play very old games, so I'm not the best judge. Subbed.
Came for Llama, stayed for the pounding.
Actually big help. Thank you for doing this!
A year ago I picked up D2 for the first time in 15-20 years or so and am slowly playing up different classes and gearing up. I'm a casual player so it's pretty slow, but that also keeps it from getting boring with the farming. Would love to see you play this character to ubers with cheap gear. I've never tried that content and would love to see how it could be done. Incidentally i'm playing my paladin through Nightmare these days.
Your videos have taught me a lot about the game I never knew when I was younger and D2 was at its peak.
I swear 90% of the reason I watch Llama is the entertainment of his chat trolling him
Thanks for giving the 3 chippies re-roll recipe. I remember back during version 1.09 cubing a champion sword so many times until I finally rolled a pretty good cruel champion sword of quickness. 298 ed. Good times.
I like the speed run videos but I can't really keep up with what you're doing most of the time. I needed a set of videos like these, thanks allot!
Great guide, particularly as a new subscriber returning to the game. My only comment in all seriousness is that streaming live on twitch with all the sub comments in the background just make the guide confusing. For the speed runs I've found it hilarious but as a guide with the intention to learn tips, remember stuff and to lock in rune combos etc the background comments are not only a distraction but make it really confusing as its pretty much impossible to hear what you're saying clearly.
For me it comes down to - is this a guide for new followers to help them, or just a banter stream for the regulars? heckling a mate while the present isn't cool.
Anyway, love the pace of what you do, the approach and the tips are so helpful but I wouldn't come back to check something on a 4hr stream when i have to fight to filter out the background distractions. Not meant to be a criticism of you, it's really not. Really pleased to have found and be enjoying your content.
I have to agree. I know Llama has his schedule to Twitch, but the background comments, while hilarious, distract so much for the people that really want the guide. It'd be best if he did these videos tottally offline. Or mute the donations at least.
Whenever I get to really important things I pause donations, but ya sometimes I end up trying to talk over. Depends the day unfortunately and I don't really have time to create things fully offline so I just need to work on pausing that stuff more while I talk through certain things.
Dude instalike here! i really enjoyed amazon Playthrough, i'll follow paladin guide now) thanks
Okay, I just found this series. Wow Llama, you keep stepping up your game. D2 for life!
After a several year hiatus, I think I might pick up D2 again
Used to run a fanatic zealer that soloed Ubers at 89 😁
Thanks for the content Lama, you are the gold standard for anything D2
Just wow! Thanks for helping new players with these guides, you rock Mr. Llama
i never liked streamers, i thought it was stupid.... then I started playin d2 again and found Mrllama. while i still think most streamers are stupid, what Mrllama has created with these guides is truly awesome
Thank you.
Damn. That Mr Camel in chat drove me nuts with the bit donation messages. Dude held on to the pound joke for hours lmao.
1:08:00 - explain the Steel "TirEl" Rune Words on weapon, why it is good.
2:28:00 - level sheet
3:05:00 - Act 5
Bro i know i am noob when it comes to gaming, but honestly, i am playing this game since past 5 years. Not continously of course but i have never killed diablo. He always gets me and I haven’t completed the story ever. And you made it seem so easy! This just blows my mind🤯
Just a warning to anyone following this now you might want to check what the hammerdin skill actually looks like/does. Spent a few hours with the class and was having fun, but when I started using the hammerdin skill i'm just running in circles trying to hit stuff. Great video regardless
I love to watch theses on youtube, while i clean my appartement.
Thanks llama!
man seeing these videos makes me want to play this again for the first time since 2001
Well over a thousand hours in the game and I never knew you could give a Merc a potion by holding shift... You're a champ, llama.
Please keep doing this series for all classes (especially Necro). I love getting your unique insight and encyclopedia of knowledge in a playthrough form.
As a streamer do you feel like you hear the same questions, over, and over, and over again?
I think he already answered this question many many times...hahaha
Io dol io dol io dol io dol io dol.
As a commenter do you fell like you ask the same questions, over, and over, and over again?
@@mr.voidroy6869 Last time I "fell" like I asked a question it hurt
Why "io dol" and not "dol io"? My inner necro is cringing 😝
In regards to Gem Shrines, while I was farming Bathory for Runes in Normal, I ran across 2 Gems Shrines right outside the Tower! I have a Perfect Sapphire to show for it before I finished Act 1! INSANITY!
Thank you so much for continuing to put out such fantastic, informative, and entertaining content! I am very happy that you decided to continue on with each of the classes. Keep up the great work! 😊
hello , somehow randomly i ran into ur videos , thank you very much for bringing me the nostalgic memories . it was my childhood game - D2 , you made me reinstall it
I am really learning a lot from watching this. Havent played the game in 15 years.
Hi. Because of this teaching video I was able to make my first "Steel" and you earned another sub! thank you so much for this!
Can't wait to watch all of these been loving em brother, started my hammerdin and it's nutty good
I am watching this instead of any movie. This is AWESOME
Dude love the videos. You handled the non stop pounding jokes like a champ. I subscribed on both. Keep the videos coming. Love the break downs!
God, this is really helpful, thanks mr Lama
Omg yes! I was really hoping paladin was next. Can’t wait for the NM and H videos!
Stay 4 hours 2 minutes and 37 seconds and listen. Dont mind if i do!
Thanks for the awesome content llama! I never knew defense was not very important, I've wasted tons of runes upgrading to higher defense armor for runewords >.
it can be nice to add on as you level up, but it definitely is less important overall
I don’t know why I wasn’t subbed. Your d2 videos are awesome. I’m going to get a cheap pc and install LoD again. This game is still the best. Also the comments are hilarious xD. Anyway I can’t wait to load this game up and rush ‘stealth’ ‘steel’ ‘lore’ then get that tasty ‘ancients pledge’ or ‘rhyme’ on my paladin
I'm amazed by how much D2 information you've memorized.
Came for the walkthrough.. stayed for the s tier trolling
i'm genuinely gonna buy cheerios because of this playthrough
Almost finished the Paladin on normal (only Nilathak left). This is my first time I really Play this Class and I got to say "Holy Shhi.....eld, this one is completely nuts!". Did play a few chars through normal already but this one was almost too easy. Only thing i skipped was the last wave before Baal, everything else was just a walk in the park (a few fire immunes took a bit longer of course). Thanks alot for this guide, thanks for all the positive energy that stacks up while watching this. ❤
Mr.llama i dont have twitch account. See your streaming alot, and you are 100% One of the best streamers in this game, have learn so must just watching your guides om RUclips. Keep up the good Work, must love from denmark. Peace👌
Awesome, I started a Paladin HC character last week, my first HC character. Let me watch!
Wouter Jonker I made hc baba, died at lvl 47, damn nm archers, good luck to you.
Bro twitch was wilding the first while 🤣🤣🤣 I loved it
Rofl twitch chat is amazing.
Thanks for the video,I fell asleep in the middle of the stream so I can catch up now before tonight's stream begins.
Keep up the amazing content!
Why there're no ads in this VIDEO? You should start adding man , such a good content for free. I learned so much things which i didnt know for last 20 years LOL
I got ads lol
I respecced to hammerdin at level 18 and I wish I had waited until 30. I found the starting area in Act 3 to be difficult for the hammer. Maybe it's bad luck but the drops in the Spider Forest and Flayer Jungle have been paltry. The two spider caves are close quarters with structures blocking the hammer. Thanks for the video.
God bless I cannot wait for Diablo II Resurrected! I’m subbing your channel now so I can refresh on my char builds! Remember when “rushing” was called “power acting” god the old days were so much fun and getting to relive that feeling with my friends and new players again!
i absolutely love this series and i am getting very excited for the ladder reset when i play along side for the second time.
HUGE help getting back into this game. subbed.
loving the walk t. series, just started with the twitch streams! Thanks Mr Llama
An active spreadsheet or word doc while teaching would be very helpful. Especially for talents/ skills as you level up before hammer. Or really just a theoretical general guide for where to throw your stuff as you level and when you should respec. If this already exists I apologize for the comment
Yo Mr. Llama, I love the holy grail sorc content. but id love to see it with a different character! Would be an awesome challenge.
Ya I'm trying to do it all with just 1 char right now but once I find mang song's I'll go play other chars
@@MrLlamaSC Awesome! I'd love to see it done with a necro or barb. you know, just for the lols.
What a guy. Practicing pally for my first ladder character innit
Just here to learn for d2r. Thank you for making this guide. I love your content 💜
Really enjoy these videos. Only played this game for a short time a long time ago, my kids (who are fully grown adults and have graduated from college now) used to play it and would annoy me requesting that I buy them gear online..which I did. I tried playing it once but I was clueless and got annoyed and quit on hell difficulty. These videos are showing me where I went wrong with the builds... Would make summoner necros with massive strength.. That kind of silly stuff. Thinking of buying the game and giving it another shot.
