You can play this with any mod you like, just let me know so I can note it on the leaderboard.
Allowed -
Health Potions
Energy Potions
Augmentations (just for Weapons and Shields obviously)
As many Weapons as you can carry
As many Shields as you can carry
Any 2 Masteries you desire as you unlock them
NOTHING ELSE
All Armour, Formulas, jewellery, Artifacts, scrolls, are off limits.
No Esc-Quits.
Twinking is allowed, i.e. using items from your Vault collection, but this must be specified for any toon doing so.
You must clear all areas including the Secret Passage if you've got an Overlord turtle to hand.
To summarise: weapons/shields, potions and relics/charms are the ONLY items allowed so make sure to check your characters regularly for items like jewellery getting equipped when you don't want it to be. All skills from any two masteries of your choice as per normal game can be used. I leave the decision on whether to twink or not up to you, but it would be useful for others to know which you're playing. I'll include the info on the leaderboard.
A summary of the class/level you plan to play would also be helpful for those wanting to follow any successful ones (titancalc.com or the AE version of this). Screenshots of boss kills plus one of your toon to show they're still naked required. Please see this link for how to post screenshots on the forum.
https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=464.0
Note: AE after a character's class denotes they're being played in the Anniversary Edition of the game, AER if played using the Ragnarök expansion. AERA if played using the Atlantis expansion as well. Atm since Atlantis is an optional area anyway and some people are suffering terrible lag with it, it will be optional for the challenge as well. You can do it if you want to, but not required atm.
Note: Anniversary Edition Ragnarök expansion - Accomplished Heroes are not eligible for this challenge. The rule is play the game from the start of Normal right through to the end of Legendary.
Leaderboard as at 26.12.21 - Characters are Untwinked unless specified

Well now I need to get a character into Epic by passing through the Nordic (pun intended) areas. It'll be my second character though, I'm not facing a new Act and getting surprised without armor!
-
Yeah, probably not a good idea. See what the lay of the land is first and what problems there are going to be.
-
Not that I'm going to do this (I don't much care for Hardcore) but say you used the battle awareness on a Defense character, would that count as armor make it unavailable for the nude challenge?
-

Well the tip says +X% Armor Absorption, so it requires a base amount to multiply off of. Therefore, it should be fine. Granted, it's all but useless unless you want it for the strength requirement for shields to be lower :)
Side note, I think the spirit of the challenge is about showing that skin, so if you have that thicc dermis through an ability, then skill up!
-
I think you are talking about armor handling, I was referring to Battle Awareness which gives a small armor boost and defensive ability. O0
-
Challenge allows any skills from the masteries - if they boost armour (even though you don't have any) then that's what they do. Not sure if it would add them if you don't have amour to start with. :-\ Admittedly, TQIT didn't have that with its Battle Awareness, that's an AE addition.
-

Whoooooops you're right.
See my second sentence about skin showing then, I wouldn't judge anyone for using abilities to toughen up!

So, back into the TQAER groove and updated progress for Natrelle Again. She's made it to the Athens Catacombs and is up to L16. Did manage to get a Mastery shrine along the way so had 3 wolves out for a bit, though she lost the third one to Cinder Bone in the Lower War Camp. Still two wolves and Nightmare have handled most stuff, Nightmare died a few times but only has one point in it at the moment.

Nice work, my Illusionist just made it to Act5 so I have just a few more play sessions before I can jump back on the nude wagon
-
Another update for Natrelle Again. She's worked her way into Egypt and is resting in Memphis having defeated allcomers so far. Lucky to get a Mastery shrine heading up to the Rhakotis Library so had a 3rd wolf until I reached the Memphis Outskirts where something killed him. Nearly died to the Scarab Lord down in the Library, all that poison. Only the dong of imminent doom saved her as I rushed another potion into her. Whew! Did get a good screenshot of him going poof though - see below. ;D

Darn! Natrelle Again is out of the challenge. I was so busy trying to get a screenshot of a new Zombie Hero (who isn't new after all) I died to him. >:( My fault entirely, should have run away.
(https://i.imgur.com/3p8qW5N.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/0Wb0bpB.jpg)
Think I might try a Skinchanger (Runemaster/Nature) for this challenge, might have better luck then.
-
Oh wut! My avenger is still in the list, i guess i can keep playing then! :D
-
Of course you can. Send me updated info if it's wrong - my filed copy of the list was quite old and I didn't make a newer one before TQ.net went down.
-
Okay, since Natrelle's demise I've come up with a soon to be Skinchanger to try this with. At the moment Skinny Dipper is still a Wanderer with two wolf friends to keep him company. Base skill isn't quite maxed out yet, need another couple of levels. I'm going to try out Thunderstrike and Seal of Fate/Aftershock with this build and possibly Menhir Wall/Guardian Stones too. He's approaching the Spartan War Camp and at L5.

(https://i.imgur.com/oDdxCGU.jpg)
-
Update for Skinny Dipper. He had a good run yesterday and made it all the way from the Spartan War Camp to the Athenian Passage. Had one or two close calls, but survived. Was lucky enough to get a Mastery shrine in the Fetid Lair at Tegea so had a third wolf from then on until just before he reached the Parnassus vendor where third wolf was lost during a hero fight. He's now up to L15 and taking a well deserved rest.

New contestant: Wolfmaid - yet another Ritualist attempt. Yeah, I know, I'm a sucker, but what the heck. ;) Luckily she didn't run into Shadowmaw in his cave. Not sure any Naked toon is going to be able to deal with him. :-\ She's arrived at Delphi and is L13.

No one naked can handle Shadowmaw? Challenge accepted.
Good luck in the Athenian Passage!
-
Good luck if you try 1cec0ld. He's a nasty one to deal with when fully kitted out. I hadn't seen him for a long while and wondered if the devs had taken him out in one of the game updates, but he popped back up when I was playing another toon so he is still ingame. I'm just glad he's a random spawn and also optional. ;D
-
I still remember I only saw him when I was running xmax. So, I killed 3 of him. And got no achievement.
-

Running mods disable achievements. If you killed 3 of them by running Xmax, wich is a mod, you obviously got no achievement.
Or maybe you reached the Egypt act before killing them?
-
Shadowmaw hangs out in the cave in the Phocian Swamp so a long way from Egypt and Act 2. You haven't even reached Delphi yet. He makes Polyphemus seem easy peasy. :o
What toon were you playing that had to tackle 3 of him 1cec0ld?

Oh, it was certainly the mod issue. I knew exactly what was going to happen, I'm just bitter about it being my only encounter with him lol
I was using some twinked EBD focused build, so I was able to hit and run with Distortion Wave and burn him/them en masse
-
OOOOOOK. After so many months, and discussing challenges on Discord, I was motivated to jump back in.
Tried a character, died to a centaur. That sad soul will remain unnamed.
Now, meet Insanity, a (currently) pure Rogue, using traps as main damage, and flashpowder+mandrake+flurry of knives to spread confusion everywhere.
Got SUUUUPER lucky with a Staff of Magi from the pile of dead bodies near Hippius, kept using that until I maxed Rapid Construction, now just toting a Beastcallers elemental bonus staff. Self found so far, but if I don't find a puppetmaster's staff soon i might change that. Energy regen is a pain.
Level 27 in the Parthian Highlands, still going strong.
and it wont let me attach any more than my last 5 images xD
Edit: I just noticed that I killed all of 6 monsters in all of Egypt. Wow.
-
Welcome back to the challenges 1cec0ld. Nice to have someone else join me. :) I'll add Insanity to the leaderboard.
Could I ask you to not attach images please? Unfortunately doing this increases our bandwidth use and we could go over our limit incurring extra costs. Something like Dropbox or Imgur should do the trick.
https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=464.0
-
My mistake, won't happen again. I also replied there, trying to be helpful in my own way.
-
Is anybody still doing this challenge? I am considering to try it myself and would like to post my results here.
-
Yes, I am - or will be once I've finished playtesting on Grim Dawn's new expansion. I've been playing that exclusively since August, but hope to get back into TQAE pretty soon. I miss it!
-
Okay, so my first attempt at this challenge is going to be with an Evoker. Meet Mona (after her defeating the shaman):
(https://i.imgur.com/fWRcIxD.jpg?1)
The beginning was a bit tough because I only had points in Earth mastery and nothing else but a few staff attacks per enemy did the trick. Nessus was not a huge problem:
(https://i.imgur.com/O63O4Vr.jpg?1)
For Polyphemus I finally had Eruption, that was a long wait but definitely worth it to get it as early as possible. With it he was really easy:
(https://i.imgur.com/EexI9GM.jpg?1)
(https://i.imgur.com/FOkyeQ7.jpg?1)
Of course I met Shadowmaw on my first attempt:
(https://i.imgur.com/bRT37nH.jpg?1)
He was tough but I managed to dodge his attacks a lot better this time around and with my health pool and Stone Form there was not a lot he could do:
(https://i.imgur.com/8oSMalh.jpg?1)
-
Welcome to the forum and to the challenge Zoot. :)
I've added Mona to the leaderboard, but can you let me know which version of the game you're playing (TIQT, TQAE or TQAER) and whether you're twinking your character with items from TQVault.
-
I play TQAER and my character is untwinked. :)
-
Okay, thanks.
-
Update: Mona is now level 23 and has finished the first act.

Update:
Act 2 was not a big problem as expected:

(https://i.imgur.com/5iCfgiA.jpg?2)
The start of act 3 was not that hard:
(https://i.imgur.com/eLi4uZS.jpg?1)
But then I faced Barmanu and of course I knew how dangerous he was but normally dodging his stun attack is not a big problem for me. Well, he hit me with it IMMEDIATELY this time and I was sure that I would die at that point, no character of mine ever survived his full meteor shower (and previously that was impossible as far as I know). I did survive though, on 111 health of my 4855. I am not sure if they nerfed him or if I was able to somehow not be hit by all of it (or was just lucky). The 15% damage resistance from Trance of Convalescence, the 15% physical damage resistance from Heat Shield and the fact that I put every single attribute point I got into health saved my character there. So close though...
(https://i.imgur.com/vF51TAD.jpg?1)
The rest was no big problem.

Mona is now level 35.
Edit: I can reupload the screenshots which did not upload properly here if you want, I do not know why that sometimes happens.
-
Hi Zood, please use spoilers when posting images. Also most of them doesn't exist.
[spoiler][img] link [/img][/spoiler]
-
Sure thing, I can use spoilers. :)
Well, they do exist when I post (I can see them all fine) but then a few minutes later some just disappear and show those broken links and I do not know why.
-
Did you delete them from the image host after posting them on this thread , it might be why.
-
That might indeed be why but some of the other images I deleted from there are still there and have not been deleted on here so that is pretty weird. I will just leave them on there in the future, I guess.
-
Updated and yes leave the screenshots on Imgur otherwise they do tend to disappear.
-
Update:
I am done with act 4 normal, Mona is level 41 now.

Act 5 was not that hard although I almost killed myself fighting crystal golems in their damage reflect form, that was pretty scary.

Mona died to Barmanu on Epic because I was too stupid to dodge his attacks again. RIP. She was level 60. I will take a little break and then be back with another character.
-
Aw, bad luck Zoot. Still that's the furthest anyone's got in the challenge so far.
-
Yeah, hopefully next time I will beat it, I am already pondering which character I will be using next. :)
-
Pardon me for necroposting, but I've decided to take a crack at this challenge. Got through Cyclops and Arachne (didnt snap arachne as there's a proper boss right after her). I had no idea what I was gonna do, so I ended up going for a Guardian, and I'm not sure whether or not I will do Atlantis as that will just make me die due to lag.
(https://imgur.com/EljT7a5.jpg)
(https://imgur.com/UKiHuvz.jpg)
I've got a specific plan in mind so it's a twinked char, I only hope I'll be careful enough as recklessness is my downfall on every HC char I attempt :D
Edit: oh I forgot to add the name! She's Ishtar (thought it'd be fitting to name a nude char after the biggest thot-goddess of the Mesopotamian myths lol)
-
Welcome markotuna. Good to see you here. :) Good luck with the Guardian.
I need your character's name amd where they are in the game atm to be able to add them to the leaderboard.
-
Oh right, her name is Ishtar (edited the first post too so it's known). Wew, here she is at level 16, I just beat Alastor, my god that was one horrifying fight, wolves just get deleted on his death chill aura, thank fuck I had a DoT staff with Prometheus Flame on it...

also beat Telkine
(https://imgur.com/sHkQTUA.jpg)
Got a different question now- do I have to post for every single boss I kill, or can I edit a previous post, or maybe show only end of act bosses or something?
Alright: Editing this one. I messed up and just got a lot of screenshots lost, but hopefully this can be enough: I got a screenshot of dead Barmanu and opened/finished Secret Passage. I didnt grab the Typhon one, so I went back and killed him again after, that's why it looks like I killed him after Secret Passage but it's just me being an idiot about screenshots. The bosses I snapped are in this order: The Scarabeus in Rhakotis, Barmanu, Yaoguai, Typhon, Toxeus, End of Secret Passage/Chooch

You could probably edit a previous post if it's the last one in the thread currently, but no guarantees I'd see the change.
And yes - Screenshots of boss kills plus one of your toon to show they're still naked required.
Obviously we don't all manage that, but the main ones at least you should post.
And added to the leaderboard - good luck markotuna.
-
Woooooh man! I managed to beat Hades! And also a random Dactyl spawn, my god this is INTENSE! I'm twinked a bit, using that Atlantis Spear and Shield, and I'm swapping out the shield for bosses to use Chieftains Pelta for that juicy Battle Standard. I'm level 41 and stopping for now at Corinth. Still unsure on whether or not I wanna do Atlantis, the lag in there is just so cancer that I'm bound to die to it.

Atlantis is optional for this challenge so up to you whether to try it or not.
-
Inspired by marko's success I'm giving this yet another go with yet another Ritualist. Yeah, sucker for ending up dead I know.
Meet Physis, my latest twinked character for this challenge. She's up to L12, has 2 wolves and Nightmare to go to bat for her.

Yes, you can accept gear from other characters to sell.

Aaaaaaand done with Normal! wew man, fucking Surtr was so annoying, pets dont even come close to him in his 2nd out of the 3 lava-pool phases, and the Nymph kept killing herself on the Dmg reflect... Everything else was fairly good, not too hard, other than Fire giants, god damn they crit and they hurt a lot! Epic act 1 will probably be a bit easier hits wise, but my god now the real challenge starts... I'm 1/3rd of the way there, and it's gonna sting getting to legendary... I did full clear+grind a bit, so I'm lvl 49 at the end of normal. I'm a bit torn, I'm not sure if I should keep going for int points or maybe strength for the Golden Shield of Pelaron, or maybe stick to the Euphrates shield for maximum -%recharge and then going all in on HP, as that's my current plan. The challenge was definitely the hardest in act 3-4 when I didnt have enough points to fight certain things reliably, but now the difficulty penalties are gonna step in, and my pets are already falling off on damage...

Decided to also breeze through act 1. Doing amazingly well, my Phalanx+Earthbind spam carries me so hard though :D I would have 0 dmg were it not for Phalanx. Now I'm chilling in Rhakotis at level 54, enough for one day.

Well done marko, the first of our challengers to make it into Epic difficulty. :)

Wooooooh man this was rough! Act 2 was fairly easy, Phalanx carries me. I do notice a start of lacking damage for quick kills. Act 3- everything is easy, even Barmanu got rekt before he could get his meteors out (from what I've seen, Phalanx' damage seems very inconsistent. Sometimes they all nuke something into oblivion, like what happened with Barmanu, and sometimes they just sit there and do nothing... ), Dragon Liche wasnt even a problem so long as I positioned myself correctly. However... Those god damned Gilded dead with Spellbreak and Death Chill aura!!!! with -40% vitality resist, if I accidentally walk close to them I just lose half my health (and I've been dumping points into HP and Energy, hoarded some before and dumped them all at once for that nice big HP boost, along with maxing Heart of Oak, since it's my best way to get tankiness/utility). And of course, the Dragonian Deathlances... Holy mother of God, they ignore the Phalanx a lot of the time and go after me, thank you Earthbind for existing! Everything else was simple enough, but problems are rising for sure. Telkine and Typhon werent an issue, although I didnt kill Typhon as fast as I could because I positioned my phalanx wrong. Now I'm at level 61, chilling in Rhodes, done for today.
I'm definitely not making the same mistake as on normal, I'm not touching Toxeus until I finish act 4, I want more levels before I fuck with him! :D
Also, sry for pulling an "akshually", but the char name is Ishtar, with an H :-X

Why is Cerberus listed as your strongest defeated enemy? I get that just after you killed Surtr, he's probably not yet showing on in stats, but shouldn't be Hades or Hildisvini your strongest opponents at this point of the game... or any of the other Act 5 bosses? When the pets kill a boss is he not registering as your kill?

I think it's precisely that. I somehow must've gotten a last hit on to cerberus (or he died to dmg reflect from rally, bless Colossus form+Sanctuary), pets getting the finishing blow dont count towards your "greatest monster killed". You can see this if u go for a pet build from Accomplished Hero, you can finish the game with 0 enemies killed, and you can thus have nothing listed as your Greatest Monster Killed.
Edit: I got a question- Are all side quests mandatory? I kinda dont wanna do most of them, especially Barmanu :D -100% pierce and vitality and bleed resists got me worried for Act 4 as well, I think there's no way I win this challenge looking at all the mandatory stuff... I know Toxeus is mandatory tho.

Welcome to the challenge Wagi and good luck. :)
-
I've got a new challenger since my other 2 are so old GDDefiler won't give me their stats so I'll retire them.
Wolf Nightmare - L17 Ritualist (yeah, yet another one trying it) who's reached the Athenian Passage. Luckily Shadowmaw didn't spawn. Not sure what to do about him challenge-wise. He's not always there, but if he does spawn he's really hard for an early Naked character to tackle. I don't know; maybe make him optional on Normal difficulty, but you have to fight him if he spawns on the higher ones?
Anyway, I was lucky that I got a Mastery shrine just outside Tegea so had 3 wolves for most of the play session. Did lose one on the way, but luckily it was where another Mastery shrine was so was able to summon a third one again. Now I just need to rush my intel to get up to the 453 needed to equip a Druid's staff and have +2 to Nature so I can have 3 all the time without the shrines. First I've got to survive that long of course! ;D

Sigh, I don't have much luck with my Ritualists. :( Wolf Nightmare died.

Happy Eternal Embers day!
Now that I don't have to hide my activity, I can jump back into this.
Feel free to list as dead, all my existing "active" characters, because I did some cleaning and deleted almost 40 characters from my roster, including all of those :D
And now, for my next trick: character "Expose", level 1 Helos, no mastery selected yet because I have to beat the new expansion and get the achievements before I do anything else :)
-
Moved them. Good luck with the expansion and enjoy! :)
-
Expose: level 17 Rogue, Kairatos Bluff Untwinked (so far)
Poison got her to level 13, then respecced everything into traps.
Forgot to start screenshotting until I reached Arachne :|

Added to the leaderboard and good luck with her.
Need to get back into the challenges myself, but testing this and then testing that then testing something else .... no time! :o
-
Going to give this another go, though heaven help us all if we get to Eternal Embers Naked!
Anyway, that's a LONG way down the road for me. Trying Again is an L11 Illusionist and at the Halcyon Coast atm.

Well, I mightve forgotten a screenshot or two, and they're definitely out of any coherent order. But Expose is past Typhon! Now a level 31 Brigand, just arrived in Soronis and ready to panic while fighting Lamias. Didn't have many close calls with bosses, but at least one Tigerman near the entrance to Chang'an gave me a fright. Heard the low health bell twice before I could run far enough to break his pursuit distance. Someone in voice chat with me was saying "more traps, more traps" and I responded "I HAVE TO STOP RUNNING TO DROP ONE" Fun times.
Update 4 hours later: Dead. Level 35 Brigand in Aneslasia. One of the 5 quest Siege Striders of all things. I took out 3 of them, but as the 4th was spraying balls around, I walked over two. Never stood a chance.
Side note, I think Brigand might be more fun than Illusionist. The pierce modifier of ArtOfTheHunt, the pierce debuff of Study Prey, the Ensnare net as a panic button, the increased healing of Herbal Remedy... Eventually I wanted to add the pierce and %HP modifers to CallOfTheHunt...
But the strategy that worked so well, dropped 3 traps next to myself, then spam Study Prey on anything around. It's the perfect aggro puller, and traps shred them.
I'm starting a new one with the same build, I have to try this again.
