Diablo – How to complete the Cursed Captives achievement

achievementsdiablo-3

The Cursed Captives achievement says to free 6 prisoners in 120 seconds in the Cursed Hold (which is obviously Act I).

I have tried this several times and always been quite over 2 minutes. The distance just seems too great to cover in so little time, especially if you get some really annoying champions like wallers or jailers.

Do I need to just hope for a better pseudo-random layout and prisoner placement? Do I need to boost my movement speed as much as possible and just gun it? Would this be easier with any specific class? Is this possible on multiplayer and, if so, is that perhaps the only way to complete this achievement? In short, how do I get this achievement?

Waiting for an ideal random placement is part of it (I was fortunate enough to have 4 prisoners located nearly adjacent to each other. A pity it took me so long to find them!), but the other thing is that you don't have to kill everything on your way.

Speed is of the essence, so skip combat when you can. Abuse the crap outta Dashing Strike and/or Tempest Rush (You're playing a Monk, right?) (Or whatever movement skill your class has) to get in, get out, and keep going.

And lastly, don't give up if it takes a few goes. One run the random numbers will fall into your favor, and then you'll get it in the end.
