LEVEL CHALLENGE 1
Looking for some low level action while levelling up your character? The Level Challenge 1 rewards you for beating a specific uberlevel at a low character level.
Advanced players only!
Killing a Boss
This challenge requires you to 'kill' a boss. This means that you need to be physically present at the battle and near the boss when it dies before you can use the cube recipe that grants you the reward.
If you succeed in killing the target monster, you get a whirling red overlay that looks like three rotating bolts:
You now have 30 seconds to perform the cube recipe. If you are too slow and the red overlay vanishes, you have to do it again!
Warning: This does not work if the monster is killed by reflected damage, due to a Diablo II engine limitation. Please use different means of killing the target.
HOW TO DO THE LEVEL CHALLENGE 1

==> 이건 꼭 할만한데..
아사신 50레벨로 하면 독데미지 기술 하나로 모두 제거할 수 있다.
50레벨이 되자 마자 Halls of the Dead Level 3 (Dry Hills) 로 달려가서 세명의 아마존을 쓰러뜨리면 된다.
물론 가기 전에 호라드릭 큐브에 포털스크롤, 아이덴파이스크롤을 하나씩 넣고.. 인벤토리에 2쌍 더 챙겨가야 한다.
지도를 참고할것!!
병사들과 똑같이 생겨서 잘 구별이 안되는데.. 아마존이 여럿 생기는 마법을 쓰는 녀석이 있으면 주변에 여왕이 있다고 보면 된다.
여왕이 쓰러지면 캐릭터 주변에 환이 생기는데 이때 보석을 주워서 호라드릭 큐브에 넣어 돌리면 추가 업그레이드를 받는다. 30초는 넉넉하기 때문에 너무 서두를 필요 없다.

| Name | Icon | Effect |
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
| SPELLBIND [AMZ] | 
| The basilisk snake of Skartara is a devious creature whose bite turns flesh to stone. A skilled amazon warrior may carry a few to the battlefield in a leather bag for an unexpected surprise. Effect: throws snakes that turn enemies to stone |
| VAMPIRIC ICON [ASN] | 
| An assassin knows very well that most mages are male and many spend their life in seclusion without seeing a woman. Some who have trained in these particular arts can also employ this strategy on the battlefield. Effect: burns an unholy female sign on the ground in life stealing flames |
| IMMORTAL [BAR] | 
| Running away is for the weak. A barbarian warrior who runs is easy prey. One who stands his ground in the face of death may survive, for he is the one the ancestral spirits will favour. Passive effect: avoids damage when standing still and improves hit recovery |
| GOODBERRY [DRU] | 
| The fruits of the Glor-An-Fhaidha, the mystical tree of life, can bring back mortals from the brink of death. Wise druids look for large red berries growing on plants that ordinary do not bear fruit. Passive effect: create a Goodberry in the Horadric Cube that boosts life |
| BLACK MASS [NEC] | 
| The dragon god of death Trang-Oul takes his faithful under his wings, turning aside blades and arrows. This powerful spell requires total concentration and is easily broken when the caster is disturbed. Effect: press and hold to protect self and nearby minions |
| DIVINE APPARITION [PAL] | 
| Like a deus ex machina, the paladin of Zakarum descends upon the battlefield, his mere appearance chilling his heathen enemies to the bone. Effect: teleport to target location and freeze enemies |
| SYMBOL OF ESU [SOR] | 
| The symbol of the ancient witch queen is a specially crafted conductive adamantine moon crescent that accumulates ambient energy from the magic in the environment, releasing it as a healing pulse when broken. Effect: create a symbol in the cube that instantly heals life and mana |

이건 약간의 트릭이 있는데..
120으로 풀로 키운 캐릭터로 가서 캐릭터 참을 주으면 된다.
그리고 새로 캐릭터를 만들어서 그 캐릭터에게 참을 주고 아무 jewel을 같이 호라드릭 큐브에 넣고 돌리면 캐릭터 참 완성!!.
THE BLACK ROAD CHALLENGE
The Black Road challenge is the hardest challenge in Median XL and consists of five trials, ranging from easy to very difficult. Obtain the favors of the demonlord Kabraxas by overcoming his tests of faith and he will impart some of his dark knowledge unto you.
You can do the five trials in any order, but you need to do all of them if you want the reward. Make sure you have your class charm, which you can obtain from the Kurast 3000 BA uberlevel.
See THIS PAGE for more information on Kurast 3000 BA.
1. Trial of Fear
Overcome your fear of demons by tackling the Butcher in Terror difficulty. Go to The Hole Level 2 and summon him, then kill him. Cube your class charm within 30 seconds after a successful kill.
See THIS PAGE for more information on the Butcher.
2. Trial of Greed
Material wealth is a sign of demonic corruption. To pass this trial, keep 666,666 gold or more on your character (not your stash), then use the recipe to complete the trial.
3. Trial of Contrition
Kabraxas is almost impressed with your combat prowess against demons. But how about other humans? To complete this Trial, summon and kill Shaman King Koth on Terror difficulty. Cube the charm within 30 seconds after a successful kill.
See THIS PAGE for more information about King Koth.
4. Trial of Knowledge
Obtain untold wisdom by collecting the positronic brains of the five Robot Bosses in Fauztinville in Terror difficulty. Kill the Robot Bosses and collect their Brains.
See THIS PAGE for more information about Fauztinville.
Fauztinville is a huge level, and the Robot Bosses are fairly well hidden. You may need to explore the whole level. One of the bosses requires a teleportation ability to access; if you cannot teleport, use an item with charges of a teleportation skill, like the runeword Pax Mystica or the ubercharm Moon of the Spider. A second boss is at the end of a hidden passage, but can be accessed through teleportation as well.
5. Trial of Blood
Kabraxas' element is Fire. Sway the Amazon Islands to your cause by eliminating the priestesses of the amazon gods of Ice and Lightning. But do it quickly. Kabraxas has no time to waste on bumbling humans like you.
Your targets are Skovos and Lycander, both found in the Tran Athulua uberlevel. Kill them on Terror difficulty. The challenge is that after you kill either one, you have only 30 seconds to kill the other and then cube your class charm. The timer starts ticking down after your first kill. To complete this trial, lead the two priestesses to the same area and kill them quickly, one after the other.
See THIS PAGE for more information about Tran Athulua.
There is a third Priestess on the level, Philios, Priestess of Hefaetrus. Make sure you kill the correct Priestesses.
Black Road Completion
After successfully completing all five Challenges, buy four Sacrifical Hearts (sold by magic item vendors) and cube them with your class charm. This will add a number of bonuses and unlock the Level Challenge Skill in your skill tree.
This upgrade recipe adds the following bonuses to your class charm:

+150 to Mana

| Name | Icon | Effect |
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
| WAR SPIRIT [AMZ] | 
| Many of the amazon deities represent an aspect of war. The deity's spirits, summoned by an amazon high priestess or warrior queen, protect her in battle by striking down her enemies, seemingly out of nowhere. Effect: periodically emits spike novas that deal weapon damage |
| PSYCHIC SCREAM [ASN] | 
| There are two schools in psychic training. The most common school promotes balance of mind and peace of thoughts. This is a creation of the other school: a primal scream that overwhelms weaker minds with pain and confusion. Effect: short ranged shockwave that forces enemies to flee |
| THUNDERGOD [BAR] | 
| A warrior who has his eyes on the throne of his tribe is sent to the summit of Mount Sescheron to await the next thunderstorm. If he survives, he may have learned something valuable about the forces of nature. Effect: adds stun to melee attacks and periodically emits stun novas |
| LIFESHIELD [DRU] | 
| Aside from their healing effect on humans and other animals, the juice of the Glor-An-Fhaidha's fruits can be applied to armour, making it as hard as the bark of a thousand year tree. Passive effect: consuming a Goodberry also increases defense |
| GRAVEYARD [NEC] | 
| The deathspeaker establishes an aura powered by the emanations of a demon's wicked thoughts, conjuring torture equipment and striking the demon with the punishments it desires most to inflict upon humanity. Effect: when activated, periodically shoots deadly spiked balls at enemies |
| BLESSED LIFE [PAL] | 
| A life of worship teaches the warrior of Zakarum the futility of evil. The denizens of hell are but vermin to an emissary of the Light. Passive effect: reduces damage taken and speeds up healing apples |
| FORCE BLAST [SOR] | 
| The witch's voice coalesces into a wall of force and slams into the enemy ranks. The shockwave does not harm flesh or bones, but the shellshocked enemies may well be so confused they forget how to fight. Effect: wave of force that knocks back enemies and lowers damage |
MINIGAMES
Minigames are small challenges you can do in Terror and/or Destruction difficulty. The reward for all of these is the same: the maximum amount of points you can put into your skills is raised by 1 for each completed minigame.
This bonus is applied to the class charm you picked up in Kurast 3000 BA. Refer to the UBERLEVELS page if you do not have it yet.
MINIGAME 1: WITCH QUEEN
Simply slay the Countess on Terror difficulty to receive a red swirly overlay. Quickly cube your class charm with an Eth rune while the overlay is visible to receive a bonus. You have 30 seconds. Easy you say? Be afraid... the inhabitants of the deepest Tower level are a bit unusual.
This upgrade recipe adds the following bonus:
Maximum Skill Level Increased by 1
MINIGAME 2: CROWNED
Find a witch anywhere on Terror difficulty, except in the Countess tower. Witches generally appear in outdoors areas. Inch as close as you dare to a witch without waking her up... there is a chance that you will see an unmistakeable star effect just before you get close enough to get eaten by the witch.
This only works on 15% of the witches - if you see no stars, run away before the witch pounces! Cube your class charm with a Thul rune while the overlay is on you to receive a bonus.
This upgrade recipe adds the following bonus:
Maximum Skill Level Increased by 1
Witches spawn in the following areas:
· Act 1: Countess Tower (these witches cannot give stars)
· Act 1: Tamoe Highland
· Act 2: Rocky Waste
· Act 5: Frozen Tundra
MINIGAME 3: MIRROR MIRROR
Do the Baal fight on Terror or Destruction difficulty and instead of killing Baal, kill his Shardspawn minions. Each kill brings a 1% chance to gain a red swirly overlay, so you may have to let him summon a few. Cube your class charm with a Lem rune while the swirls are active to receive a bonus. You have 30 seconds before the swirls vanish.
This upgrade recipe adds the following bonus:
Maximum Skill Level Increased by 1
MONSTER TOKENS
Some targets on the battlefield may drop special items or tokens. They grant useful bonuses when cubed with the class charm you picked up in Kurast 3000 BA. Refer to the UBERLEVELS page if you do not have it yet.
VETERAN TOKENS
In Terror and Destruction difficulty, you can find veteran monsters near the end of each Act. There are 5 types of veteran monsters, one for each Act. Kill them on Terror difficulty to receive an 'Evil Eye' token.
Cube your class charm with five tokens to receive additional bonuses.
Veterans
Act 1 : Clawstorm Terror
Act 2 : Fairy Witch
Act 3 : Glowing Blob
Act 4 : Landmass
Act 5 : Bane Hunter
This upgrade recipe adds the following bonuses:
+1 to [Your class] Skill Levels
+20% to Experience Gained
ACT BOSS TOKENS
On Terror or Destruction difficulty, kill Act bosses to receive a 'Dogma' token. Collect each of the five tokens, plus two extra tokens corresponding to one of the Prime Evils (Mephisto, Diablo or Baal).
Then cube the tokens to receive a Signet of Skill. The Signet can be consumed to gain 1 skill point. You can only use 3 of these signets on any given character.
DRAGON'S EGGS
You might see these conspicuous eggs in low level areas. Kill them and the Baalspawn dragon will hatch. Killing this dragon brings great rewards... or your own death.
Your reward is a cube recipe
After you kill a dragon, you have 30 seconds to freely perform a cube recipe. These recipes are repeatable during this window of opportunity, so practice your button mashing skills!
Act 2
LOCATION: DESERT AREAS
Maximum character level to do recipes
Hatred: level 60
Terror: level 100
Destruction: unlimited
Reward
Killing the dragon allows you to reroll a rare item as many times as you wish! Until the 30 second timer runs out...
Item level of output item
Hatred: level 40
Terror: level 80
Destruction: level 99
Act 3
LOCATION: JUNGLE AREAS
Maximum character level to do recipes
Hatred: level 60
Terror: level 100
Destruction: unlimited
Reward
Killing the dragon gives you essentially an unlimited Chaos Reroll recipe for 30 seconds. This recipe will turn the item into a new item of the same type, which could be cracked, magical, unique or anything in between.
Item level of output item
Hatred: level 50
Terror: level 80
Destruction: level 99
For now, the eggs seem to appear only in the Eastern parts of the world, but druids have discovered that they are carried by underground magma currents and may well spread globally in the future...
