CE mod - Lazarus and "No level name"

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

Has someone found Lazarus in CE mod? I've been searching him for a long
time with no success.

Another strange thing I did find though while searching him is this "no
level name" -area to which a portal is opened in corner of Blood Moor
close to the Rogue camp.

I have no idea what activates the portal, it just opened while I was
killing monsters "around it". The portal came out of nowhere just like
the Tristram portal opens. I was able to repeat this, but still I don't
know what actually opened it.

The area itself looks like to be a _vast_ plain with a lot of monsters
but nothing else of interest. Anyone got any idea what this place is for?

Oh, almost forgot to mention: I am playing CE mod version 7.59.

Does it only happen during online play? I have never had this happen
earlier, yesterday online i had this happen. I had just killed a
quillbear and it dies with a different effects animation, and then
there was the blizard storm animation and the portal opened, i stepped
through and was promptly wasted [killed]

also playing 7.59 recently upgraded so it might be a 7.59 thing, not
sure though.

Firstly sorry for double posting, i found the answer. On the chaos
empire forums it is said that the no Name Level is a test area. And
that it may be incorporated in a later version. It is supposedly deadly
as most monsters there are high levels. Umm and someone also said that
It happens after killing a quilbear. So i guess my poor level ones will
have to stay away from quillbears..nah

Could very well be. I've played 7.51 and 7.55, have heard about this
secret level and am quite curious to see it. However, despite killing
many a Quillbear in the Blood Moor I've never had any kind of portal
appear.

IIRC, Lazarus is found in the Halls of the Dead Level 3 where Blood
Witch the Wild used to be. At least, that's where I found him.

i've got the latest mod and it has opened for both characters i've
created in Blood Moor. the first character went in and saw nothing,
just ground and fog, and a couple of monster appeared, who immediately
whacked her dead.

The second character saw the portal, but remembering the fate of the
first character, left it alone. Heh.

I had it happen 3 times during single player / tcp/ip games. The
monsters inside seem to be somewhat tough already in normal difficulty
although they posed no threat to a lvl 95 hydrib amazon. There is a
fence of somekind in the no name level near the portal, but the rest of
the area looks to be empty except for the almost endless crowds of monsters.

I tried this trick on nightmare and hell difficulty too but was unable
to get the portal to appear.

One other thing that bothers me is the Dungeon below Nihlatak. Last time
I visited there in version 7.51 the portal at the lowest level was
defunctional. There was some speculation that it might be activated in a
later version, does anyone know whether it really works in the present
version of the mod? It is a long way down there, just to check it out ...

Thanks for the information, I have to check it out Maybe I just
missed it since I am quite sure I visited Hall of the Dead too.

What version are you playing btw?

No problem... Just go (as if to) get the cube, and he's right there
every time!

Random chance when you kill a quillbear.

Leveling a char who is about 33... that's the level the monster are.

It was a test level that got left in...

It is functional in 7.59, that's where The Ancient Diablo is, and that
is where (along with the other "A Nasty Place" areas) The Ubers drop.

I never found squat in the line of Ubers in any of the 17 dungeon levels
including the "nasty places" as well as the last one with Ancient
Diablo. And there was a trap door on that 17th level that I couldn't go
through. What kind of stuff did you find?

I seem to do better in cows after firing up a torch.

I visited there three times (hell difficulty) with a couple of my
friends in a tcp/ip game but that was back in 7.51 version. However, in
spite of clearing every level and monster out, we were unable to find
any Uber items.

The thing I was referring to is the functionality of portal / trap door
at the 17th level where those Ancient creatures are located, close to
the big hall in the center where Ancient Diablo himself lurks. Maybe I
didn't put it out clearly enough

Ah! That permanent portal thingie is decoration only. No 17th level,
sorry. And uber drops are uber-rare.
