Farmed it first time ever. Got it at 8.04, can't complain too much.

Without going through 140 pages of replies I had a question on it. Which sound setting can i use to turn up her dialogue? I can barely hear it at times.

Dialogue volume should do it, but be warned that'll increase all voices in the game. I agree that some of the lines are far too muted (and some are far too loud). You can always enable voice-to-text output, which will display what She says (and again, every other npc's incidental dialogue, such as the Masters) in green text in the chat box. Incidentally, this is how Exiles used to 'speak' before GGG recorded their lines.

Got second. And this is all what grinds gave me.

de99ial all you had to do was record a video of you with both onis in twilight strand

I had never farmed the OG but I'm rocking one now in SSF. Gotta say the dialogue is a fun addition to the game and glad I didn't miss out before it's likely removed in POE2.

Glad you're enjoying it. Slight clarification: it very likely won't be removed in PoE2 (here we go again) -- PoE2 is merely a second campaign that will take you from level 1 to Maps with its own set of areas, quests and ascendancies. There will still be the option of playing the original 10 act campaign, no doubt retconned to 'PoE 1' or 'PoE classic' or some other buzzword to ensure people know it's inferior, dated and totally not as awesome as PEE OH EE TUUUUU!!!

As I explained not that far back in the thread, the chances of OG existing in the'PoE 2' route are slim to none because the acquisition method, the dialogue, even the scaling to a degree, are all designed for the current 'PoE 1' campaign. And given I funded all of that and was a pain in GGG's side for most of it with my demands and neediness and now all I do is mock and deride the fact that they sold their souls to a notorious megacorp, somehow I just don't see them jumping at the opportunity to work with me to insert OG into the so-called 'PoE 2' campaign. Which is fine by me -- no one could argue that OG hasn't had her day in the sun and then some.

Farmed for OG this league first time in a long time; first 2 i got had crummy rolls, but the 3rd one was acceptable, so time to lvl some consecrated path juggy;

Sold one of the crummy ones almost right away for 1ex50c, got another for sale for 2ex mostly 'cuz i don't actually wanna sell it that hard (my lil' sister might wanna play later in the league, and i tend to always be ready to pimp her up with some ez stuffs)

Took about 3 days on/off playing, 3 chars just above lvl8, one drop for each of them :)

I wonder though if GGG take inspiration from Oni-Goroshi and add a similar unique the the new "first boss". It's certainly been a much celebrated addition, so why miss out on an opportunity to give the community more of that?

I have yet to farm or buy one this league... not even sure if I will even do so at all, though I guess a berserker could be interesting, now that we got the phys to fire conversion nodes on the tree... if only Her Embrace would count as being ignited...

Also, ever since spellslinger got released I was hoping that maybe one day "Her Embrace" would give global fire damage instead of attack fire damage... likely not gonna happen, but damn would it be awesome.

You cannot have two OGs in Twilight Strand.

Might be a weird question, but do You talk to the Dying Exile each run during farming?

Earlier leagues I did, killed the zombie then rushed to Hillock.
This time I skip it and just rush straight to Hillock.
Was wondering, whether it has any effect.

Ignore the dying exile. It’s wasted time. Ignore sand spitters. XP is crap. You do need to kill zombIes so you can get character level 6-7 and gem levels to 4. After that just run to Hillock. You can also skip Hillock if it isn’t the Uber version. Really only need to kill him for chance of a good weapon or speed boots drop or a tabula if your lucky (which will also earn you an achievement). Make sure you have no filter otherwise you won’t see any low level drops like wisdom scrolls. The funniest thing there is even though portals are disabled portal scrolls still drop ....I assume you already know to use 3-4 characters in rotation while running the TS.

Yeah, thanks, I also felt the Dying Exile is just a waste of time.

And yes, thanks for the detailed response, it is not my first farming, but it is a really good summary on the farming process. I am rotating 4 characters, all are levels 7.5-7.6 at the moment, only killed zombies to level to 6 quickly, then from that point, I only rush straight to Hillock.
Already got a Tabula off Him, and as killing him is 3-4 hits, I always kill Him, just in case.
