I like the idea of documenting the Desolation Run, keep up the good work.MystiLefemEle 08:25, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! Demonic Sin Ex 17:11, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

What you guys think?

Is this a good guide?Demonic Sin Ex 01:01, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

I think the video choice is a little poor considering that it is a guild advertisement and you guys also have a videoguide written for the run (which can conveniantly be access from the sidebar of related videos. 70.139.49.71

70.139, if you think there's a better video out there, go ahead and re-link it. --JonTheMon 01:40, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

The guide is good, but I agree with the IP: the third video is nothing but a guild advertisement and doesn't show the run, rather only a short clip of some character running in the desolation. If there's no better video, then we simply don't link any video at all. --★KOKUOU★ 06:27, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Putting the infamous glitch out there

Easier time for anyone to run desolation now :) Demonic Sin Ex 00:40, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Maps and Such

Was going to make some maps for the Gate -> Remains and Remains -> Grotto run but Dark Luke has done it. Think that Demonic Sin Ex intended the other runs to have access to a wurm. I've only done up to the Remains w/o a wurm (listed the bone palace one) but am unsure if I should make maps and add descriptions. Never actually seen someone want one of these runs... it is fun to run the desolation though. Aro 21:25, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

People don't ask for the run b/c outside the running community, very few people are aware it can be done. I think it would be useful to have basic maps/descriptions, so, at the very least, people can see where the run takes you.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 21:47, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Not sure if my way to get to the Ruins of Morah is widely known. Only recently tried it as part of the desolation run. Mainly used to skip the annoying Horde of Darkness quest... Seeing how far one can get while wurmless is interesting so maybe I'll try to get to the next two towns. Aro 22:33, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Gunna try something in the next while. Hopefully the results will be presentable and informative. Aro 06:00, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Cool! Looking forward to it.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 06:14, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

The map Dark Luke made should be separated in to two. Wait for him to do it? Aro 23:56, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Remains -> Bone Palace

Could you please explain what happen once you make it trought, I guess you get the crafter, but aside that, are you able to pick up the primary quest "horde of darkness" (and literraly skip over 50% of the game...) or it still wont be accessible ? If your not going to the sunspear sanctuary previously does it has an impact on this ? (hunted!) Thx 82.224.68.40 05:36, 3 March 2011 (UTC) nobody

no you can't skip it's for armor only ^^ --The Holy Dragons 07:13, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

I completed this run (with loads of trouble -_-) only to find the gate closed? explanation? || DarkMugen 16:12, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

answered question for you in game ;) Demonic Sin Ex 17:36, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

tip

For the not so fast runners. (I used to do this a lot back in the old days)This could work too. --The Holy Dragons 04:43, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Move to Desolation run

I have no objections. — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 00:31, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Either/or. — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 01:23, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Poor (Lazy) Man's Desolation Run

I recently wanted to get my rit to Vabbi and, being lazy, figured I'd get a desolation run. Wondering how hard it could be I decided to attempt the Remains->Grotto run myself. I found myself too lazy to cap Shadow Form (or scour Spamadan for an elite sin tome), so I built my own ingenious running build:

All attributes set to 0, no weapon required and should work without armour. I successfully used this build to run from Remains to Grotto with only one death (surprised by mandragor popup). Do anyone know other desolation routes runnable with this build? And should we mention this DIY solution in the article? Sanctus Medellae 02:30, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Mention it? Sure, if it works, why not? There's a fair number of runs in the game that don't really require a running build...and quite a few that can be done just by bringing a few heroes with things like Charge! or Fallback! – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 21:36, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
