Hammer's Path step 2 question?

[edwardk]

Evidently this quest requires you to run with swords, shot guns, or glaives in the nether while in expert mode. Question. I have read that that this can be done using advanced instead of expert. Is this actually still the case? I did run one activity in advanced and I did complete it, but did not count?

The second question is what is defined as the activity? Is it the entire nether?

The third question is does it matter if this is done while under mastery of ambition or mastery of resolve?

I have tried expert, but it is rather brutal when only using the required items so can you actually have it count when using other weapons then switching to the required weapons before the final boss is brought down? The champions with the shields are the worst. I figure if I can at least take them out with my wish ender then I have a better chance. I have done this, but I have a feeling I switched my weapons too late.

Ok, I just did the expert with no results and I just possibly realized something. I did read that weapons can be swapped out as long as they are replaced with the required weapons before the final boss is take down. This little loop hole was either fixed or the barrow dyad is the weapon that can never be swapped out since the wish ender shares the same slot with the barrow dyad.
