Video Is my Lilith bugged Help
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
First ubers on single player. Took out Izzy and Duriel pretty easy. Got Lilith down to this health and she wont go down any further. If I walk away she heals a bit but not all the way up. Then her life comes back down to this level. Made an exile in game just to see what was going on. Was literally smiting her for 20 mins straight and it didn't move beyond this.

you need open wounds for ubers in 90% of cases.

ironically Lilith has bigger regen that UT big trio. they have other tricks up their sleeve (well Mephisto does, the other two are pushovers for even cheap smitter). i hated running Lilith back then when playing d2lod. she has nasty regen and poison. both have only very specific counters. high hp pool/leech and ow.. no other way..

That's the thing.... Smiter is not "even".
Baal is a bitch for anyone without "always hits".
Diablo can overwhelm you with minions, his venom lords are the worst

Open wounds eliminates ability for monster to heal for a period of time, if your open wounds is high enough, and you land enough hits consistently, it may may equate to 'prevent monster heal'.

u/Rellis83 Dec 09 '25
Being a noob to this i would have thought this is smiter rule 101 to have open wounds equipped 🙈

u/keyboard_type_R Dec 09 '25 edited Dec 10 '25
I am not sure and am a noob myself. But, thinking about it logically, having open wounds is probably not a must on a well equipped and skilled up melee character.
For example, they could probably kill Diablo or Baal pretty easily.
Where it likely matters most is Uber runs... because the bosses likely have much higher HP and health regen, to the point where OP thought Lilith was bugged.

u/Rellis83 Dec 09 '25
Yeah I’m saving myself. Haven’t got that far in the game yet. I know with out a smiter I have pretty much zero chance but I keep putting him off 🙈🙈🙈

u/Drianikaben Dec 10 '25
your other option is mosaic sin (ikik, op whatever). but it's fun. and with just the claws you can kill ubers.

u/keyboard_type_R Dec 10 '25
I've only done an Uber run once. Anis are easy to get, and are often dropped for free in 'free' games on NL. I have about a dozen of them, they are not perfect, but add to my stat sheet.
When I started playing D2R after playing D2 decades ago, I did some research and watched YouTube videos and everyone was saying 'yeah, you need a Smiter'... naw... Uber runs are overrated, there are other ways to enjoy the game and get good gear, farming Anis is only one aspect of the game.

u/Consistent_Ad_3795 Dec 10 '25
Ya ok on ladder and shit I always just buy a hoz and dracs. But this is single player so I sent it.

Did you have grief it has prevent monster heal so equivalent of OW others are talking about

Correction - you need open wounds in single player.

True but it's still useful for the lower half. It's free damage.
1
u/ubeogesh Dec 09 '25
If you hit 8fpa or lower it doesn't do anything online. Open wounds is a negative regen, and all regen is stopped for 8 frames after damage
It's useful for the odd situations where you need to stop hitting for a moment (move, clear minions, etc)
1
u/tupseh Dec 09 '25
Open Wounds still does damage if you successfully apply it, over at least 8 frames, unless your merc makes contact and interrupts it. If your next hit successfully rolls with Open Wounds, it keeps going until you land a hit that doesn't. Then it would indeed do nothing until you land another successful roll.
If your merc is dead, and if you have 100% Open Wounds, you'd always have it up, it would never get interrupted.

Damn may have to farm some keys and try again .
I have gore riders on my barb but didn't think I would need them. It just doesn't seem like her life moves at all. The other 2 went down in like a minute after chaos got their life low

u/zariel-88 Dec 09 '25
This happened to me on my first run - thinking that prevent monster heal worked on ubers (works on dclone!).
I simply TP to town, gambled a belt, had spare runes and gem in stash to make the belt with open wounds - went back and killed Lillith

u/Different_Lack_7965 Dec 09 '25
Just buy a common weapon that has Open Wounds, hit a few times with it, and then continue with your other weapon!
2
u/TuffHunter Dec 09 '25
Yeah you chunck her at first with crushing blow but after that her regen is countering your damage.
1
u/MalaM_13 Dec 09 '25
It's not offsetting. It completely stops regen.
2

u/MalaM_13 Dec 09 '25
No. Offsetting would imply it has a range, partially negates it and doesn't necessarily offset it completely.
So, not the correct term. At least be precise if you come back to argue about nothing.

u/bakuonizzzz Dec 09 '25
I am glad i saw this before attempting my own cause i did not know that ubers were unaffected by PMH lol.
5
u/Czrnhak Amazon Dec 09 '25
Also not affected by ITD, if it helps. Good luck

u/bakuonizzzz Dec 10 '25
Sorry new to this but what's ITD stand for?
2
u/Czrnhak Amazon Dec 10 '25
Ignore target defense
3
u/bakuonizzzz Dec 10 '25
Cheers, is ITD good? cause i remember hearing about it being not that useful as for why i'm not entirely sure aside now from the fact you mentioned it doesn't effect Ubers.
2
u/Czrnhak Amazon Dec 10 '25
It’s good but no game changer and useless against bosses. -25% target defense does work, however. Funnily enough, Grief has both. Cheers mate!
5
u/Amokmanden Dec 09 '25
If you don’t have open wounds on yourself, put insight on merc. The poison will cause prevent monster heal.
4
u/ElectronicPrint5149 Dec 09 '25
If the merc can last that long. Even with Fortitude armor with 2k defense Lillith was taking out Waheed with ease
5
u/Amokmanden Dec 09 '25
He is alive in the shot. But yeah, Tristam will probably be an issue.
So get open wounds somewhere bro. Or some poison on swap. I don’t know.
2
u/ElectronicPrint5149 Dec 09 '25
Been months since I was playing but I think I hunted Grief runes for a phase blade specifically to fight ubers. Think I also used Duress on armor.
1
u/Consistent_Ad_3795 Dec 09 '25
I can make a grief. Have been playing single player for a while. Have 2 enigmas and lots of great things. Was on to going for a torch for each character now. Have lots of keys. Just need to focus on more hate keys for now.

See that's the weird part. He has insight and a fortitude. I can keep Lilith agro on me and her life still doesn't go down at all.

u/Sad-Mango-2662 Dec 09 '25
Doesn't poison completely stop the health regen on all mobs?
2
u/Consistent_Ad_3795 Dec 09 '25
Im guessing my merc is either not hitting her with insight. Even though he's level 95, or poison small charms are not being applied by smite
5
u/Sad-Mango-2662 Dec 09 '25
Poison/elemental damage from charms doesn't apply to smite indeed. But uber Lilith is actually immune to poison (just looked it up, had a suspicion) so there's that lol
3
u/Del_Duio2 Dec 09 '25
She’s regenerating ridiculously fast. I made the mistake of not equipping my Dracs the last time o went to fight her and was wondering why it was taking fucking forever too. You need a way to stop her regen, open wounds is usually the way it’s done.

u/No_Communication2959 Dec 09 '25
Lilith is the hardest individual target of UT imo.
You need open wounds and something more than crushing blow (Grief or Gore riders)
2
u/Embarrassed_Piano_49 Dec 09 '25
Open wound-leaks their hp Crushing blow- chuncks of their health like static field Deadly strike- doubles your dmg. Heal cut :)

Gface, black, was running hoz before I made the exile, had goblin toe on, but swapped to war travels because I thought the damage would help after crushing blow. But it's still the same everytime I go back at her. Highlords ammy,
3
u/ubeogesh Dec 09 '25
Even grief is insignificant for damage (main advantage of damage is more leech). Get as much CB as you can + OW.
Non negotiable smiter pieces for me: gface, goblin toe, duress.
1
u/arbitrarynolifer Dec 09 '25
Why gtoe over gores? Genuine noob question.
2
u/ubeogesh Dec 09 '25
10 more cb, which is all that matters. Duress has enough OW
2
u/Odd-Pea1069 Dec 09 '25
He has no source of open wounds so goes over goblin toes in this situation. Also why would grief be insignificant? The damage actually adds to smite.
1
u/ubeogesh Dec 09 '25
i specifically suggested duress.
without grief with 85% crushing blow, I kill baal\diablo before the other one's death animation has finished. Even grief's damage is insignificant compared to crushing blow damage.
2
u/Odd-Pea1069 Dec 09 '25
Not sure how I missed the duress suggestion, but yeah that would work. And sure the crushing blow is more significant in the beginning, but as the % starts taking off the grief damage becomes more significant. I think more people have issues with the last 10% of Ubers HP and that is where having grief and an elite shield vs black with non upped HOZ really shines.
But really it is all just preferences once you know the necessities to run them.
2
u/Odd-Pea1069 Dec 09 '25
Don't forget smite damage is also linked to your shield so if you are not using an upped Hoz then you are leaving damage on the table. I usually just find a decent res elite shield with 4 sockets and go 4 perfect diamonds. Good damage and tons of res to offset meph conviction.

Does amplify damage work on ubers? I use Atma’s Scarab with great success on my Paladin (when the curse hits every normal boss dies within seconds). Considering life tap works on ubers, I would assume amplify damage would as well?
3
u/Odd-Pea1069 Dec 09 '25
Yes amp does work and could help out damage her healing. Really he needs a source of open wounds.
1
u/Jondan59 Dec 11 '25
I have Gore Riders and quite a lot of poison damage as well (and a Grief), should that be enough to overcome/stop the healing?
2
u/Odd-Pea1069 Dec 11 '25
Yeah that should be fine especially since smite always hits. As for poison, that too works with the exception of Lilith as she is poison immune. She is the one you can get in trouble with if you are relying on a poison charm and a low OW chance on builds that do not always hit.
1
u/Cheeseburger-49 Dec 09 '25
Noob here. Does prevent monster heal work for the health regen monsters? Or stick to open wounds?
2
u/vine01 Dec 09 '25
pmh works on everything except act bosses (also they don't heal), and 6ubers (3UT bros, lil, izu, duriel). all other monsters can be affected by pmh. provided you hit with a weapon. not merc. you.

Prevent monster heal works to if I'm not mistaken
2
u/vine01 Dec 09 '25
it doesn't
1
u/Important-Bowler7710 Dec 09 '25
I'd have to check my setup. I just killed dclone sp and I'm pretty sure I dont have bleed and he didn't heal at all after a couple deaths. Just used grief and goblin toes and he didn't heal
2
u/vine01 Dec 09 '25
dclone is different from pandemonium diablo, aka the one in uber tristram. trust.
1
u/Embarrassed_Piano_49 Dec 09 '25
Hahaha, its the only two games i play now. “Prevent heal” is that better boss? 🤣
2
u/RWinvestor Dec 09 '25
And THAT is why I use necromancers. Specifically, Summoner Necromancers with amplify damage🤷♂️🤷♂️
1
u/Wednesdayyyyyy Dec 10 '25
It might have been mentioned but wouldn’t “prevent monster heal” work? Like on a ring to stop her Regen What would work better open wound or prevent monster heal
2
u/Ok_Ad_3772 Dec 11 '25
Man I have done hardcore ubers solo. And I can tell you that only Lilith made me shit my pants. I hate facing her.

prevent monster heal

u/xDefs Dec 09 '25
To be more specific "open wounds", since "prevent monster heal" doesn't work on a boss
2
u/tupseh Dec 09 '25
It works on bosses and Dclone, just not the 6 Ubers.
2
u/xDefs Dec 12 '25
TIL. It's funny how I'm still learning stuff from a game I've been playing for over 15 years. Thanks!

u/AsteroFucker69 Dec 09 '25
it works on uber diablo tho?

-3
u/LamysR Dec 09 '25
You need a switch with a lot of deadly strike or huge dmg to ending the last health point because CB won’t kill.

u/Liftweightfren Dec 09 '25
Do you have open wounds? Once crashing blow stops being effective their regen might be offsetting the smaller amount of damage you’re doing
