Getting rid of invulnerable minions

[Installed]

Hello, after some long time leeching I've finally found something worth posting again. I've searched for any guide regarding this but found nothing.
So in this guide I'll be explaining how to kill of invulnerable minions so you can have the boss all alone. I found this exploit when I was farming 5 NV siegebreaker and got a pair of spikeshooting beasts. This exploit works both for melee and ranged creatures but I find it much simpler with the latter.

I can confirm that this technique is working as of 19/06/2012
Here we have the pack and as you can see the minion is invulnerable and there's really no way to damage it. What you want to do is to lure the minion away from the actual elite like so.

After luring him away from the elite kite the minion all the way to the entrance of your dungeon (you can do this pretty much whereever, you just need a dungeon entrance/exit to go through)
Step through the portal, you don't have to wait forever. As soon as you get out you can teleport back in and the mob will simply die (be careful if the mob is molten as it will still explode and you're playing on hardcore you might lose your character).

Now, as you can see from the next image I didn't kite the mob very far, but I have really no way of knowing exactly how far away the mob has to be before he will die. Kited the minions from the cat tree to the entrace

Do this over and over until all the minions are gone. TIP: I'm not really sure if it works with pulling several mobs at once and if you do decide to try it, please give some feedback and let me and everyone else know.
After doing this over and over you'll eventually be left with nothing but the elite. Congratulations on whatever rares you might get.

TL;DR
1. Find elite pack with invulnerable minions.
2. Kite minions away from elite.
3. Exit dungeon with minions close to the entrance.
4. Teleport back in
5. Minion is now dead, rinse and repeat then kill elite

how??? i got a dh on act2 inferno and never figured this out

[valgaf]

U lay caltrops for slowing down, especially good with rune that gives u 2 sec stun.
Then u just kite them all over the place and shoot Elemental Arrow( good with rune Nether Tentacles or the lightning bulb)that will go through any target in a straight line.
They will hit the shielded minions, but also hit the main boss.

Hope it helps

Could not get it to work on Arreat Crater Level 1 (Inferno) with a pack of invulnerable Golgors. The Champion is at the entrance to level 2, the minions were kited back to the entrance of level 1. Left the dungeon several times and they were still standing there when I came back.

Tried waiting about 5 minutes on the other level as well as in town, came back and neither worked -- they are still chilling there looking at me funny.

But maybe I'm doing it wrong, who knows.


Edit: They did stay at the entrance and I got around them by teleporting to the Waypoint past the entrance, but that's normal behavior.

This is awesome. Invulnerable minions have been one of the biggest problems for me in inferno. When I get home later I'm going to try this on champions too. It would be really cool if you could make 2 of the champions disappear, and then just kill the last one for loot.

but wait the glitch spot doesn't work anymore...

think u need to use the teleporter, not just simply get through the gates into another level of the dungeon .. but havent tested it myself

[lurkermcgee]

does this work on any level? ie: pull to exit of a dungeon. exit dungeon. go back in and BOOM dead?

[h0v3r]

tried this and it work. the leader should be out of range with their minions to work.

WTH, the minions just gone like that?
