Anyone tried to "chest run" hells precipice??
ibex333
There is a nice chest that often spawns near the portals with wraiths. This chest drops the highest undead items in the game like dead bows, sephis axes, orrish skin staves, and swamp clubs. I tried to run to this chest but cant quite come up with a good build. Anyone tried this??

I'm pretty sure searching won't work.

I do have a build to chest run hell's precipence with my warrior, but its not even worth it... i did 3 runs in a row, i got 1 purple that should of been blue( bla bow of enchanting, not max, enchants last 14% longer), and 4 purples off hands items.
just call me jimmy
I would love to try the run with my warrior. I could use some help with the build though. Tried mantra of fire and got pwned.
Any help would be great!!!

Any help would be great!!! I used a basic/standard Forge-running W/Mo build back when I tried this, took out Balanced Stance for Mending. Charge, Sprint, Breeze, Healing Signet, (Edit: Purge Conditions, not Purge Signet), Holy Veil, Rebirth (went with a group).
It's not worth it. I picked up zero gold items over 10 runs.

Quite annoying!!!!!! Maybe what you heard about the nice drops from those chests is actually false...
I got 3 armors and a +14% (while enchanted) sword from that chest. Wasted 2.4k for keys

I have been using Kcp's build, and I already made all the money back that I wasted on keys.. I did like 50 runs allready, mostly junk, but suddenly, I found an axe with perfect furious mod - 50k, and a bow with 10/10 sundering - another 20k or so... So I spent like 15-20k on keys already, and can make around 70k right now. Yes it is very annoying, and it's based on luck entirely, but it can be worth it, if you find that gold magma's shield or dead bow...

omg i cant believe you posted about this...there goes my cash...here comes the nerf
Moone
Thats how I do this
Any Questions?
ibex333
whoah... not bad.. gotta try that.
And about those who are complaining about the nerf, it would be dumb to nurf this place, sine the chances of a good drop are like 1 in every 50 runs... Plus when factions comes out, all this stuff wont be worth a penny...

I was surprised, the W/Me running build is actually pretty straightforward. Havn't tried running with a Mo/R, but I imagine that the warrior method is actually easier

Just to let you guys know- from my experience I have found that there are normally 2 chests by the portals. One is purple, one is gold. I have proved myself wrong a couple of times, but this is normally the case for me.

I just completed a run using a slight variation on Moone's build that allows me to kill all Portal Wraiths (and Hands of the Titans). There's 9 of these level 24 wraiths and they do drop the coveted undead loot. I got a white 5-27 req 8 Sephis Axe off one to prove it. 
I only thought about making a screenshot after I miserably failed to solo Undead Rurik. I'll post one later, after my next run.
Attributes:
Strength 12 (includes minor rune)
Sword Mastery 9 (includes minor rune)
Tactics 15 (includes superior rune)
Inspiration: 3
Skillbar: (Starting with Moone's 6
)
Charge
Sprint
Endure Pain
Elemental Resistance
"I will survive!"
Healing Signet
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Weapon sets:
-Icy 15% stance sword of warding (Elemental +7) & Grognar's Defender.
-Longbow
The running part is a tad more difficult than 'classic Moone' but still not too hard if you time everything well.
Killing the Portal Wraiths takes patience. The 2 outer portals have a space behind them you can run to. From there, lure the wraiths with a longbow. It's possible to lure 1 at a time. Keep firing at a single one, taking small steps back. Eventually, it'll want to punch you in the face and come all the way toward you. Take small steps back until the other wraiths retreat. The one you're fighting will often resort to punching. (Their energy management sucks.
) Your Riposte and Deadly Riposte will take it apart without much trouble.
Getting to the center portal takes a bit of time. You'll probably need to clean out some of the Titans to make room. The Hands are easy, don't bother with anything else, except Moles Quibus if he happens to spawn there. He drops very big. I haven't had any luck with the other bosses though, they heal too fast. Once you've killed enough Titans, the last 3 Wraiths can be lured like the first 2 groups, also from behind the portals. Don't forget to check the last one's drop after the cut scene takes you to Rurik.
Edit: Screenshot - One chest, 2 empty craters, some sad Titans
Edit: Killable: Scelus Prosum, Moles Quibus, Valetudo Rubor
Edit: Don't bother with this build: Tortitudo Probo, Maligo Libens

I have been running the chests here and soloing the portal wraiths for quite some time now why do you ppl post the builds. Need to let ppl think for them selfs.

Gli
Bleh. It's not about the farming, it's about the accomplishment.
I'll probably do this a few more times to perfect the build and do it faster; maybe get a nice drop. I'm also curious to see if I can solo the bonus, the 3 Armageddon Lords. Then it's on to the next challenge.

Calm down, its a game. These builds arent blueprints to weapons of mass destruction, ppl pass them around.
