Watch daily Monday-Friday 1-7 p.m. est at Twitch.tv/MacroBioBoi
First, Big Shout Outs to BelikeLebron for instigating these findings and cataloging the necessary information to do this sequence break. Then to Bender_Meats_Fry for being the first recorded evidence of this to be streamed. / 784530174 (Begin watching at the 50 second mark) I know i'm missing some of the history here, feel free to comment and I will edit the info here
This is the first real Sequence Break available to the Diablo 2 Speedrun that is possible in Single Player. We are able to COMPLETELY skip Baal Waves by manipulating our location in the Throne Room and Baal loading distance. This has amazingly huge applications for Normal AND Hell speedruns and may completely change build paths and routing for some runs.
Being able to skip a Baal Wave is something that has been done by accident before and is catalogued in some old Speed Run videos. (Example / 42337065 )
This technique allows us to skip Baal Waves, on command, and consistently. This means future runs may completely ignore the Throne Room and go straight to the Baal fight.
The footage is from our Live Stream today when the how/why was tested and proven. / 784594273
