I'll sticky this in awhile, you can stop voting for it in your posts.

Good to see this is finally done after all of cerb's ridiculously late nights working on it, now go get some sleep already

We might update some of the videos if we do better runs - the Chamber + Smites + Ice King is 17 mins because we messed up a few times.

Cheers for the effort Cerb, I'm gonna try going into UW now, getting bored with the other campaign farms

With all the detail and explanation, I'm sure it will be alot of fun. Loved the bestiary part, was hilarious with the names and fonts.

Someone give him the title UW God!

Awsome Guide! Like to try it, but it looks complicated for me. Not Only that, That how 55 Monk should tank Godly Massive Aggro.

Query: If the pull at the top of the mountains is so ugly, why not clear the behemoths before taking the restore the monuments quest?

time to stop soloing and dust off my necro's SS armor and build!

this is excellently written with amazing detail and superb coverage of everything anyone needs to know about 55/SS in UW. This is one of the greatest guides i have ever seen, and i thank you for it and all of your hard work, Cerb and friends.

Thank you very much for an excellent job.
I have a couple of questions:

1) Is this doable in HM?

2) What's the amount of time involved in clearing the entire area+ quests all the way to the end chest?

Again great job Cerb. /vote for sticky

I'm sorely disappointed by the distinct lack of cowbell.

However, the overall /win of this guide means you get away with it... this time

Great guide. Sticky pl0x.

Delicious work.

At some point I was wondering if we would ever get done with those endless runs in UW. I remember all those times I did not want to try anymore, and you pointed that gun at me and yelled:"ANOTHER TRY OR YOU DIE", or that other day... when I had to go for my chimio treatment and you told me UW was more important...

Well now my chances to survive cancer are divided by 2, but I don't really care since what I saw today worths more than a thousand lives.

Very nice job, really.

You made a child's wish come true.

Your best noob irl necro,

I'll handle some questions:

It's just a real pain to have to run all the way back and get the quest. You'd want to do Chaos Planes first since that's the hardest and thus most likely to foil you early on, so you'd be taking the quest anyway.

The entire clearing takes about 4 hours. Our first run took 6 with a 2 hour break in between, going fairly slow because I didn't want cerb to die and make me do another run at 5am. I have no doubt it could be cut down further.
