How to Survive Hell
Hell rewards preparation more than bravado.
Before You Go
- bring good armor and weapons
- bring enough food
- understand
/grave - consider at least one gold armor piece for environmental protection
- keep inventory space for Soul Essence
While Exploring
- watch the LIVING HELL sidebar
- avoid stacking several Champions into one fight
- learn when to retreat
- keep shelter options in mind
- note areas that are becoming heavily corrupted
During Infernal Rain
Get under solid overhead cover. Do not try to out-heal a weather event you can simply shelter from.
Use Soul Essence Intelligently
It can heal, provide temporary fire resistance, or reduce corruption.
Protect Important Areas
If you intend to keep using one area, spend resources to stabilize corruption instead of ignoring it until it becomes Consumed.
When Things Go Wrong
Use /grave after death and regroup rather than immediately sprinting back unprepared.
