I terrorized all Acts. I didn't initially intend to, but I was doing just terror zones and ended up getting 3 heralds in the first terror zone, so I terrorized an act and kept going. I did not do this in one sitting. Since it's Xbox, I took advantage of being able to put games in standby and just stayed in the same game for several days.

Playing as a now level 93 Apocalypse Warlock, p8 SP on Xbox. If you care, I'm using Ondal's Wisdom, a Splendor book that has +3 Apocalypse, Authority chest, Flickering Flame helm, some rare or crafted rings with resists and life, +2 Lock crafted neck, Trang's belt (HP and CBF), rare dual rez boots, Magefists. 6BO CTA + Lidless on switch. I have one Chaos GC and a Druid torch I'm using. And a renewed flame sunder. The rest of my charms are life charms. Like ~3500hp with BO and consume.

I ended up with 19 heralds, 15 of them as t5. The most annoying thing about Heralds is they attack the merc first and I ended up having to go to town to get mana potions galore.

I started using Sigil: Death because of the herald's minions. I didn't use it before because most things died too fast for it to matter. Sigil Death really helps with those minions, though. And any normally fire immune monsters. But I'll continue to use it on packs because it kills them all so fast.

As for loot, no sunders but not a total loss. Found a Gul, Shako, Horizon chest and gloves, a couple of GC I can try and reroll, a couple of tiaras or circlets to try and reroll.

I leveled to 93, though I don't remember exactly when. I'm 6 bars in to 93 now, so probably earned ~10 total bars of exp. I did die once to a wave of Succubus in act 5, Worldstone levels, which killed my demon and I had to find another demon, which was difficult at this point lol. Ended up remembering I hadn't cleared to Nilathak (whatever the spelling is) and found one in there. I actually accidentally consumed my Conviction Hephasto earlier in the run, had a random elite bruiser thing from Act 4. I found a conviction act 5 spear lady but she's the one I had when I died. Ended up with a fanaticism Goatman.

If they don't let you have conviction from bound demons, clear speed will be slower but far from hard. But, without a good demon to tank those heralds, I couldn't have killed all of them.

I would like to get the full Horizon set for my Cleavelock, so if anyone has had success finding the helm and/or boots, LMK (I already have the book!)

I'm just seeing if there's a better use for my two Gul runes; I don't actually have the Mals (though I can cube to one for now).

Should I make two Mosaics? (Assuming I can on single player still?)

Is there any other use for the Guls? I'm on SP, so can't trade. I play mostly a fire lock but I've thought a Mosaic sin might be fun. The firelock is using an Ondal's, so I don't need HOTO.

Any other suggestions?
