Can i skip acts in diablo 3

Do I have that right? Separately, if I am on Act 4 final boss fight and want to go play the butcher fight in Act 1 for the fun of it, do i completely reset my game all the way back to act 1?? I don't want to click on it myself but I've added an image to show you that it does tell you that you will lose all progress if you choose to go back. I clicked it, it didn't wipe out the quests I had done, just when I started my game it put me back to the beginning of the quest.

This thread was marked as Locked by Bagstone. I just started playing D3 in the last 3 weeks and started a season character. I knew that I was going to have that toon bumped to a standard character once the season was over. What I didn't know was that I could not play adventure mode with it. My question is : do I now need to complete all the acts to be able to open adventure mode or am I missing something? If so seems kind of pointless. Pretty sure you only need to complete the final quest in act 5, if you can get someone to boost you for it.

And, you only need to do it once total. And may the odds be ever in your favour. Emmo I have yet to play anything other than solo.

In multi player is there a standard procedure for finding someone to help "boost" to Act 5? To temporarily skip : ignore the Flayer Dungeon, and instead travel through the Flayer Jungle directly to Lower Kurast.

In order to advance beyond Travincal, you will eventually need to return to the Flayer Dungeon and take the heart. There are two more sewer entrances in Upper Kurast. Find the lever that opens the entrance to Kurast Sewers Level 2, then descend to find a quest chest containing the brain. Note: If you want to hurry along, you may have noticed the passages to Lower and Upper Kurast are always at opposite corners of the Bazaar.

In order to advance beyond Travincal, you will eventually need to return to the sewers to get this relic. Superunique : gloom bat Icehawk Riftwing in Kurast Sewers level 1. In Kurast Bazaar, search for and enter the Ruined Temple. Superunique : flesh hunter demon Battlemaid Sarina in the Ruined Temple. In or near its grand temple are three High Council Member monsters. The only reward for defeating all three is a brief motivational speech by Deckard Cain.

If you discarded or muled the Horadric Cube you earned in Act 2, then defeat a second High Councilor and it will provide another cube. Equip the weapon, and use it to wallop the Compelling Orb in the grand temple in Travincal. The wasted orb will unlock an entrance into the Durance of Hate. Mandatory quest : Explore the Durance of Hate three levels , and kill Mephisto, who waits across a moat at the lowest level.

Tyreal explains what you must do to solve this quest. Izual has a lot of hit points, so anticipate that the fight might take a while longer, compared to your previous battles against other superunique monsters. Superunique : demon Izual in the Plains of Despair.

Deckard Cain explains what you must do to solve this quest. Be alert, because Hephasto moves fast and can hit pretty hard. If you fight with ranged attacks, it might be helpful to lure him somewhere that effectively puts a moat of lava between him and your hero. Superunique : demon Hephasto the Armorer in the River of Flame. Defeat any superunique monsters that appear when you find and activate the magic seals. Then engage Diablo. Your reward for killing Diablo is admittance to act 5, starting in the barbarian stronghold of Harrogath.

Note: Diablo will use several attacks and spells against your hero and allies, including very tight bone prisons, a cold melee swipe, flame novas and wide firestorms, and a dreadful stream of red lightning. Then during the event, see if you can anticipate when Diablo uses his firestorm or lightning spray attacks, and try to spiral-maneuver out of harms way while you drink a potion if the fire or lightning starts hurting a lot.

Then quickly return to the fight. In nightmare and hell difficulty, the range of the red lightning hose is farther, but begins to ignite some distance away from Diablo. A hero and mercenary in melee range can often just ignore the lightning when it happens, remaining unaffected. Of course with this tactic the fire and cold attacks must still be countered with resistance, dodging, and potions.

Find and kill Shenk the Overseer in the Bloody Foothills. This quest remains active until after an item has been socketed by Larzuk. To skip : ignore Shenk. If you proceed beside a cliff edge, you should be able to pass through the Bloody Foothills and up the stone stairway into the Frigid Highlands without Shenk even noticing you are there. Superuniques : demon imp Dac Farren ; overseer Shenk.

Search the fortified lines in the Frigid Highlands for three stockades, each penning five barbarian prisoners. Reward: Qual-Kehk gives you three specific runes, and opportunity to hire a rescued barbarian mercenary. To skip : ignore the stockades. If you keep to a cliff edge, you have a good chance to get past the Frigid Highlands into the Arreat Plateau without even noticing any of the prisons. Travel across the Arreat Plateau and enter the Crystalline Passage.

Explore to find the entrance to the Frozen River, then find Anya at its source. Three rewards : 1 Malah will give you a scroll that adds ten percent to your fire, cold, lightning, and poison resistances. Unfortunately, if your character is killed, that ten-percent bonus actually goes away, even after you successfully recover your corpse.

If you save-and-exit, the resistance bonus gets restored next time you start playing again. This quest cannot be started until after Anya is rescued from her prison of ice. Enter the quest portal beside Anya. Just inside the temple, descend the stairs to the Halls of Anguish. Explore to find the Halls of Pain, then explore again to find the Halls of Vaught. Hint: these ares are randomly generated, but the stairs to the Halls of Pain and then the Halls of Vaught are always in one of just three map locations.

If you prefer to save time, just check those three locations rather than explore the entirety of each maze. The Halls of Vaught consists of four short galleries, one in each direction. Nihlathak is at the end of one of those four galleries. Hint: notice the murals near the stairs, painted on the walls that lead into each gallery.

A particular mural always marks the one where Nihlathak hides. Be careful if you find Tomb Viper monsters in the Halls of Vaught. Their ranged attacks can billow poison clouds that cause physical damage in addition to poison. It helps to hold position and wait a second or two after the cloud dissipates before moving again. Also, listen carefully. Reward : opportunity to have Anya permanently personalize one item, either a weapon or a piece of armor.

Instead, continue through the Crystalline Passage to the Glacial Trail.
