Please note, I used a slight variation of that skill build. When you are approaching mid/late game, you can follow this skill build by Maya:

This will ensure you are tanky enough, while still having summons that one-shot your enemies. Make sure to put 1 point into the 'familiar' summon and the 'mend flesh' add-on on your way through the Occultist skill tree for the heals. When your Briarthorn is maxed out, pick up the Occultist class and continue to do the same thing there with the 'Hellhound' summon. 1 point into each of the Briarthorn add-ons once you unlock them, but leave them at 1 point Then continue spending your skill points like this, everytime you level up: I would highly recommend you to start out as a Shaman and 'rush' through the skill tree, until you unlock the 'Briarthorn' summon. The conjurer however, is strong during all parts of the game and will be the class I chose for this guide. The Ritualist and the Cabalist come with a downside, they both have an either weak early-game or mid-game, or might not be suited for inexperienced players. As I said above, the best classes for these achievements are the following: For more informations about the dark one's set, check out the following link: This is especially good, because these classes are the best, to tackle the hard achievements. The dark one's set boosts your vitality damage and several skills from the Shaman, Occultist and Necromancer classes. However, Krieg's set has a lower droprate and is made for melee classes, not something I would recommend for these achievements. However, there are two exceptions:īoth sets are dropped by fixed, respawning enemies and are actually really good. This makes it kinda hard to farm for good, class-specific gear. What are target-farmable items? The drops in this game are almost completely random, almost all bosses can drop almost all items. You will not be able to complete SR25 on ultimate difficulty with random gear, so the key to success are target-farmable items.

Believe me, these achievements are kinda frustrating. While it's theoretically possible, to complete these with any class, I would highly recommend you to follow these tips, to save yourself from the frustration. The 'ultimate + hardcore' achievements are by far the hardest in the game. Part 2 will be specific infos for this achievement, so if you already have a good build, scroll down to part 2.

Part 1 will be general tips and guidelines for completing this game on hardcore + ultimate difficulty.
