Misery Gauntlet

From Path of Exile Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Misery Gauntlet was a Gauntlet event organized by Zizaran that ran from February 2nd-12th, 2024, lasting 10 days. The gauntlet was intended to be the "hardest gauntlet ever", with Zizaran stating that the intention would be that nobody would successfully complete the gauntlet. Darkee, also known as "Lightee" or "Ben", placed Rank 1 overall for completing the gauntlet by defeating all of the required Uber bosses. The event was cast live by Steelmage and Zizaran on Zizaran's Twitch channel.

Like recent gauntlets, there was a list of banned skills that any competitor seeking cash prizes was forbidden from using in any part of their playthrough. Using these skills did not disqualify participants from other prizes, such as MTX. The Misery Gauntlet introduced apparitions of Atziri during Uber boss fights, who would use her skills to attack the player. When attempting an Uber boss, players were restricted to using at most 3 of their portals, instead of the usual six. Finally, the majority of the damage dealt by the competing player during an Uber boss fight had to be dealt by a transfigured gem.

and all its variants were banned from the event for being too powerful, many players were quick to notice VD of Seething's extremely similar corpse explosion mechanics. The phrase "DD at home" was used to express the sentiment that VD of Seething was just a slightly worse version of DD. Ben received exceptional RNG when he received VD of Seething from the Divine Font in the Merciless Labyrinth on his first attempt.

. On the right setup, the build would be effectively immortal, guaranteeing a full clear if the build were assembled. However, Eternal Damnation was a Sanctum-exclusive drop, and Ben wasn't interested in grinding Sanctum for it, choosing instead chose to risk it on Necro.

Ben spent a significant portion of his time running a strategy extremely popular in the trade leagues at the time that involved rolling maps to have Monsters fire 2 additional Projectiles, Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Gilded Abyss Scarab"s, maximizing wisps in the Viridian Wildwood to get as much value out of the Stygian Spires in the map as possible.

to take Divine Flesh on the passive skill tree. Instead of using it for its chaos damage mitigation, as his armour was relatively low, Ben's true intention was to use the damage taken as property of Divine Flesh to avoid the cold penetration of Uber Shaper's "Shaper balls" and "Bullet Hell" skills. By shifting the cold damage to chaos damage, Ben was largely able to avoid this deadly mechanic.

While fighting the Feared, Ben took advantage of his build's high resistance to Chayula's attacks by keeping them alive during the fight, allowing of Ben's life flasks to constantly gain charges from its Gain 3 Charges when you are Hit by an Enemy modifier.

The Uber boss Ben had least expected being able to beat was Uber Uber Elder, due to Inextricable Fate's extremely poor performance against the fight's Madness Propagators, resulting in the arena becoming nigh impossible to navigate in the fight's final phase. He gave himself a 1 in 10 shot of completing the fight. Despite the low odds, Ben was able to complete the encounter, defeating his final Uber boss and winning the gauntlet.

After completing the gauntlet, Ben sought out on bounty-hunting. His character came to an abrupt end when it was hit by Fractal Gargantuan during Uber Cortex, instantly killing him.[1]
