Demonic Exchange 2 Warlock quest bugged?

[Nandytos]

I tried to do the demonic exchange 2 on demonic pact.

It seems can't do/bugged.

I tried to lower my hp with traps and traits for 5 min not worked. The only time i got 18 sec when i could lower my max Hp below 300.

The problem is u start with 500HP without the Hp blessing. Further problem warlock gain Hp/lvl, so u can't do cause u gain hp while u try to pick up every trait that lowers ur max hp and u start with 500 so till the time u got the traits that u need to lower u max hp u already at 300 Hp above.

• -250 HP Scars of Toil amulet
• Apocryphal Curse Artefact - increases negative modifiers.
• Master's Vice Artefact - every level up gives you -0.8%HP.
• Make sure you have 0 HP blessing and Scriptor, and no HP giving equipment!
• Take every Dedication trait that gives -10% HP, +Force, AND every Demonic Exchange trait that gives -10% HP, +Spawning. Make sure you double 3 of these.

I pumped scriptor force and damage to make long-lasting ghosts (the main attack). One of his rank V traits gives 360 degree ghosts that that obliterate the normal enemies by that point. The annoying part is surviving to this point with such low HP. I had a couple +Block (Boost) green items to help with that.

edit: I did not use a Mark cause it would clog up the selection.

This is for the 'Get your HP to 1 quest'. I dunno if you're talking about another one (<100 HP maybe, I forget), but this will work for that too. Some things might not be unlocked yet. But everything else will more than do it.

Yeah i did this. I didn'T think first on double the -hp trats, but that was the go. That is enough to counter the hp/lvl on warlock.

No this isn't the "1 hp quest". this is for unlock one of the 5lvl trait for warlock, and u need to below 300 Max hp for 10 min, that's all.

Glad it helped!

The Scars for Base HP is irrelevant. If you're chasing the 1 HP, then you're focused on getting your -HP% above 100% while fighting Warlock's own level-up +0.5% per level. A multiplier literally does not care about Flat HP in any way whatsoever so take a good neck piece like a beefed up Duelist's Spark instead.

The key is the 2 Artifacts listed above
• Apocryphal Curse Artefact - increases negative modifiers.
• Master's Vice Artefact - every level up gives you -0.8%HP.
And disabling the +HP% Blessing.
Use your 3 doubling potions on anything with -10% HP, it's the highest negative value any trait gives.

You should honestly manage to get quite low quite quickly. Take strong early game weapons like Phantom Needles because you're basically playing it as a Don't Get Hit challenge on Agony with a Torment of at least 2.
