Foreword
========
It has come to my attention that some readers believe that this FAQ is a
simple rip-off copy of BradyGames' own strategy guide for Diablo 2. When
I wrote this FAQ, there were enough hacks out for me to test most of things
mentioned in this FAQ, with many things filled in by a few of my friends.
With all that been said, I will try to obtain a copy of BradyGames's
strategy guide soon, and make a judgement call. If the contents are similar
enough or so, I will immediately request the deletion of my submitted
articles in the various webpages this FAQ has been posted.
I am not profitted in any way in writing this, except for perhaps the
enjoyment of writing.
I am rather upset, and flattered that such a poorly written FAQ could be
comparable to a professional work.
If BradyGames or Blizzard wish the deletion of this FAQ, I will do so
immediately.

Story
-----
Following up on the first game, Diablo has taken the body of the one
who has defeated him. He travels east to the desert in hopes of freeing
his brothers. This would set free the greatest evil the world has known.
Inventory
---------
This is where you put your things. This is basically the same inventory
as in the first game, with the notable exception that gold doesn't take
up slots anymore. There is also a private stash which is in each town.
The stash transfers from town to town, and is protected from almost anything.
Armor and Weapons
-----------------
If you plan to kill Diablo, you will need tons of these. An important
factor is the durability of the item. If it is zero, it will not be able
to be used. An item with a passive magical ability will not be activiated.
It is a good idea to keep your armor and weapons in relatively good repair,
for no one can predict the entropy of hell.
The Belt
--------
At the game's start, your belt will only be able to keep 4 potions. By
equipping yourself with bigger and better belts, you will be able to 'stack'
multiple potions. By pressing one of the four corresponding keys (1-4), you
will be able to quickly access your potions and scrolls. When you have
something in the belt, and you pick up new potions of the same type, it will
automatically be stacked on top, if it has enough room.
Scrolls and Potions
-------------------
Scrolls and potions are very essential to any traveler. A Tome is very
handly because you can fill it with 20 scrolls, thus saving tons of
inventory space.
Scrolls
Identify Item
This scroll shows you the magical properties of any one
magical item. It will usually increased the value of
the item if you plan to sell it.
Town Portal
This will open a portal back to the corresponding town
in the act. It is a very powerful life-saver, as it
provides you a quick and easy way to get back to town.
Potions
Healing Potions
These potions replenish your health. There are five types
of potions and they will heal depending your character class.
Mana Potions
Mana potions replenish your mana. Like healing potions,
it gives you mana depending on your character class and
the strength of the mana potion.
Antidote Potion
This potion will cure poison instantly.
Rejuvenation Potion
This potion instantly replenish one-third of your health
and mana. This is sometimes useful as it does not have the
lag that healing potions have, and thus can be important
sometimes.
Full Rejuvenation potion
This potion instantly fills all of your health and mana.
Difficulty Levels
-----------------
Once you have slain Diablo, a new difficulty level will unlock. This
is the Nightmare difficulty. Once you slain Diablo in Nightmare, it will
unlock the Hell difficulty. The difficulty level increases the
experience loss for death and it is highly recommended that you gain tons
of experience in Act IV of the previous difficulty before you move on.
A general good idea to move to nightmare is around level 30, and hell,
50.
==================
ii. Characters
==================
In Diablo 2, there are five different and distinct character classes.
They are the Barbarian, Sorceress, Necromancer, Amazon, and the Paladin.
Like any other good games, each of these characters has their strength
and weaknesses. Depart from Diablo 1, Diablo 2 has a full set of skill
trees for each character. There's 10 skills under each sets of skills for
each character and there is 3 sets of skills for each character, making
for a total of 150 skills for the 5 characters. Thus, even characters
from the same class may look and act very differently.
The Characters
Necromancer
The Necromancer uses dark magic to his advantage. He can
raise undead to attack for him, and since he gains
experience that from the kills of his minions, this makes
the leveling the first few levels quite easy.
Amazon
The Amazon may be better recognized as the "Rogue" of
Diablo 1. It is a very powerful, fast, and versatile
character who can deal many methods of damage. Usually
holding missle weapons, you will not need to repair armor
often, and can handle very strong hand-to-hand battles
if needed.
Paladin
A natural leader, a paladin or two is very powerful in
multiplayer, as his aura can help his party. However, this
does not make him a weak player in stand-alone play. His
ability to heal will save him many times and he is more
than a capable fighter and various magic.
Sorceress
The sorceress is weak in combat, but she more than makes it
up in her magic. She has the power to freeze, burn, and
toast creatures, and can take out monsters in groups.
Barbarian
The warrior of the group, the barbarian is the master of
physical combat. His exceptional strength will allow him
to wield and wear weapons and armors, respectively, that
other classes will not or have trouble doing so. The vast
skills that he process will be his alone.
Character Skills Development
----------------------------
Because of the 30 skills for each player and 20 skill levels for each skill,
if you want to max out your player, you will need 600 levels. However,
as I have found out the hard way, skills distribution is very important in
this game. I cannot emphasis this more. I will list the individual
classes and the various ways you can specialize. Specialization is very
important.
---------------
The Necromancer
---------------
---------------
Posion and Bone
---------------
This set of skills uses magical attacks that serves a huge range of
purposes, including defense, attack, stall.
Teeth
-----
Level 1
This fires multiple magic teeth. The advantage is that as you pour skill
points into this, there will be more teeth and it will hit targets behind
the first and is useful against a room of enemies, although its damage
may be too weak for after Act I.
A = Mana Cost
Bmin = Minimum Damage
Bmax = Maximum Damage
C = Number of Teeth
L = Skill Level
A = 3 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.5 )
Bmin = L + 1
Bmax = Bmin + 2
C = L + 1
Bone Armor
----------
Level 1
This spells creates a protective shield that will absorb damage that would
have been dealt to you. This skill is very important early in the game.
A = Damage Absorbed
B = Mana Cost
L = Skill Level
A = 20 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 10 )
B = L + 10
Poison Dagger
-------------
Level 6
This spell poisons the target you hit when you have a dagger in your hand.
Personally, this skill is not that useful, as it is only for melee combat
and does not have an effect with a thrown dagger. However, the stats
for this does get very high as you put more into this skill.
A = Minimum Posion Damage
B = Maximum Posion Damage
C = Duration (In Seconds)
D = Attack Rating Bonus
E = Mana Cost
L = Skill Level
L 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
A 7 10 14 18 23 29 35 41 49 57 65 74 84 94 105 116 128 141 154 168
B 15 20 26 33 40 48 56 65 75 85 95 106 118 131 144 157 171 186 201 217
(I somewhat figured out the pattern, but it's too complicated)
C = L + 3
D = 15 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 10 )
E = 3 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.5 ) rounded down
Corpse Explosion
----------------
Level 6
This is probably the most powerful skill of the Necromancer, and at such
and early time, it is important to pump tons of skill points into this to
increase the radius of effect.
A = Mana Cost
B = Radius of Blast in yards
L = Skill Level
A = L + 14
B = 2.8 + ( ( L - 1 ) * ( 5/8) )
Bone Wall
---------
Level 12
Mana Cost 17 Mana
Duration 48 Seconds
This skill creates a barrier of bone that will prevent anyone from passing
through it. It is quite useless after Act I, except for maybe stalling
enough to get out of trouble.
A = Hit Points
L = Skill Level
A = 19 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 4.5 )
Bone Prison
-----------
Level 24
Duration 48 seconds
This is very similar to the Bone Wall except for it forms a circle around
the target rather than a wall. This will prevent the target from getting
to you, but it also prevents you from getting to the target. You can
use this to stall someone or to run away.
A = Mana Cost
B = Hit Points
L = Skill Level
A = 27 - ( ( L - 1 ) * 2 )
*Note: from level 14 on, this spell cost only 1 mana to cast.
B = 19 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 4.5 )
Poison Explosion
----------------
Level 18
Mana Cost 8 Mana
This skill is identical to Corpse Explosion, except for it does poison
damage. It is very powerful and it has the advantage of poison - it
does damage that continues over time. This is another skill that is very
important if you are a necromancer.
A = Minimum Poison Damage
B = Maximum Poison Damage
C = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 25 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 5 )
B = 50 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 10 )
C = 4 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.8 )
Bone Spear
----------
Level 18
Bone Spear is a powerful spell that creates a bone missile of magic
that flies forth from the necromancer and inflicts much damage. It will
passes through enemies and continue, thus is very effective in hallways,
as in many places in Act II.
A = Minimum Damage
B = Maximum Damage
C = Mana Cost
L = Skill Level
A = 16 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 8 )
B = A + 8
C = 7 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.5 )
Poison Nova
-----------
Level 30
Mana Cost 25 Mana
This skill creates a ring of poison that will explode outward from the
necromancer and it is a very powerful spell that will inflict a large
amount of damage to a group of enemies that surrounds the necromancer.
Since this does not need a corpse, as poison explosion needs, it is very
handy, with its only drawback being its high mana cost.
A = Minimum Poison Damage
B = Maximum Poison Damage
C = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 50 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 5 )
B = 75 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 7.5 )
C = 8 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.8 )
Bone Spirit
-----------
Level 30
This skill creates a spirit that will seek any enemy and inflict massive
damage. Although the damage increases rapidly, it is better to pour
points into Bone Spear as it works better fighting large groups of
creatures.
A = Mana Cost
B = Minimum Damage
C = Maximum Damage
L = Skill Level
A = 12 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.5 )
B = 20 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 16 )
C = 30 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 16 )
------
Curses
------
The Curses are a set of skills that will affect the enemy and is usually
used in conjunction with skeletons and golems or great for multiplayer.
Since the curses works against groups, it makes for powerful spells.
Amplify Damage
--------------
Level 1
Mana Cost 4 Mana
Damage 200%
Amplify Damage is a very powerful early skill because it increases the
damage dealt to the cursed target by doubling it. This means any hits
on the targets will count as two. The duration and the effect increases
and will allow you to use other spells.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 2 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 6.5 )
B = 8 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 3 )
Dim Vision
----------
Level 6
Mana Cost 9 Mana
Sight Radius 1 Yard
Dim Vision reduces the sight radius, making them nearly blind. With
Arrows or Skeleton Mages, you can take out enemies before they even
see you. You can also use this spell so archers cannot shoot you.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 2.6 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 6.5 )
B = 7 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2 )
Weaken
------
Level 6
Mana Cost 6 Mana

B = 14 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.4 )
Iron Maiden
-----------
Level 12
Mana Cost 5 Mana
Radius 4.6 yards
This skill forces the cursed creature to take damage that it deals.
This is a very powerful spell as it will allow you to take out some minions
very quickly.
A = Percent Damage Returned
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 200 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 25 )
B = 12 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.4 )
Terror
------
Level 12
Mana Cost 7 Mana
Radius 2.6 Yards
Terror makes the cursed creature run away in terror. This is not a skill
you will use frequently, but will get you out of trouble at the worst
times. Its set radius will limit the ability of this spell.
A = Duration in seconds
L = Skill Level
A = L + 7
Confuse
-------
Level 18
Mana Cost 13 Mana
Confuse will force the cursed monster to attack random nearby monsters
and/or players randomly, so this spell is very effective in a group of
creatures as they will greatly reduce each other's collective hit points.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 4 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 6.5 )
B = 10 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 10 )
Life Tap
--------
Level 18
Mana Cost 9 Mana
Hit points drained 50% of damage
This is one of the few ways in this game to replenish health. When you
curse someone, they will give up the life they lose to you. This
is very effective at times, as its duration and radius increases with level,
thus benefitting both you and your party members. Note that when your
skeletons and golems hits the enemy, they will return the 50 percent damage
to themselves, thus healing themselves.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 2.6 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.635 )
B = 16 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.4 )
Attract
-------
Level 24
Mana Cost 17 Mana
Radius 6 Yards
This skill is very effectively in taking out uniques, although it will
not work on bosses. This will also create an escape route for you as
the enemies will go after the cursed creature.
A = Duration
L = Skill Level
A = 12 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 3.6 )
Decrepify
---------
Level 24
Mana Cost 11 Mana
This is one of the few skills that will slow enemies down, even though it
will not freeze them. It is not cold, and thus is very useful in some
situation. It will also allow your Skeletal Mages and party members to
fire off before the enemies can attack in melee.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 2.6 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.635 )
B = 2 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.2 )
Lower Resist
------------
Level 30
Mana Cost 22 Mana
Lower Resist will lower the enemy's resistance by more than 30 percent,
and it will allow some skills to be more effective, as creatures will
have greater resistance near the end of the game.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
C = Resist Lowered by in %
L = Skill Level
A = 4.6 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.635 )
B = 20 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2 )
L 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
C 31 37 41 44 47 49 51 52 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 61 61 62 62
---------
Summoning
---------
The Necromancer can raise the dead to help him. He also has the power
to summon golems from. While they are powerful initially, they will
be hard to maintain in the later acts.
Skeleton Mastery
----------------
Level 1
If you planned on summoning tons of skeletons, this is a very important
skill to pump up your minions.
A = Skeleton Hit Points
B = Skeleton Damage
C = Monster Hit Points
D = Monster Damage %
L = Skill Level
A = L * 7
B = L * 2
C = L * 7
D = L * 2
Raise Skeleton
--------------
Level 1
For every new skill point, you can raise one more skeleton, but the
problem lies in the fact that it is very difficult to manage all the
skeletons, as they will get stuck behind doors and very hard to move around
in tight quarters. Many Skeleton will get lost. And late in the game,
the skeleton will get destroyed very quickly, and it will be hard to
maintain the pace to create more, and it also becomes harder to find more
dead bodies.
A = Number of Skeletons
B = Mana Cost
L = Skill Level
A = L
B = L + 5
Clay Golem
----------
Level 6
This creates a Golem, with the exception that you can only have ONE
golem of any type at one time. The advantage is that they heal
over time, and that's why they are better than skeletons, as they do not
need corpses to be created.
A = Mana Cost
B = Minimum Damage
C = Maximum Damage
D = Hit Points
L = Skill Level
A = 15 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 3 )
B = 2 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.65 )
C = 5 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 1.65 )
D = 100 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 35 )
Golem Mastery
-------------
Level 12
This is to Golems what Skeleton Mastery to Skeletons. This increases
the health and speed of golems, and it is quite worth the investment.
A = Hit Points % increase
B = Speed % increase
L = Skill Level
A = L * 20
L 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
B 8 10 14 17 20 22 23 24 26 27 28 29 30 30 31 32 32 32 33 33
Raise Skeletal Mage
-------------------
Level 12
Hit Points 61
This raises a skeleton mage to fight for your necromancer. It is very
useful as they will shoot a ranged attack. When it is summoned, it will
be one of the four random elements: Fire, Cold, Poison, or Lightning.
You will not be able to choose which kind, but nonetheless, you can keep
raising one after another until you get the kind you want, at the cost
of mana.
A = Number of skeletal mages
B = Mana Cost
L = Skill Level
A = L
B = L + 7
Blood Golem
-----------
Level 18
Hit Points 201
Blood Golem raises a Golem that's connected to you in health, which means
that you will gain the health it steals, and you will lose the health it
loses. This is very effective in the earlier levels, but will be bad
near the end, as the huge groups of enemies will quickly destroy the blood
golem.
A = Mana Cost

D = Heal Convert Damage
L = Skill Level
A = 25 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 4 )

D 31 32 33 34 35 35 35 36 36 36 37 37 37 37 37 38 38 38 38 38
Summon Resist
-------------
Level 24
Summon Resist that will increases the resistance of your minions. This
will become very useful near the end of the game, as the damages will be
elemental.
A = Resist All %
L = Skill Level
L 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Iron Golem
----------
Level 24
Mana Cost 35
Damage 7-19
Hit Points 367
This skill creates a golem from a metal item. It will take on the
properties of the item, however, you will lose the item. It is a great way
to get rid of items that would you would not use otherwise.
A = Thorns %
L = Skill Level
A is 0 when L is 1
L = 150 + ( ( L - 2 ) * 15 )
Fire Golem
----------
Level 30
The fire golem is very useful in Act IV, when most of the creatures are
fire-related. The more skill points you put into this, the more damage
they will absorb from fire damages.
A = Mana Cost
B = Minimum Damage
C = Maximum Damage
D = Fire Damage Absorbed to Hit Points
L = Skill Level
A = 50 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 10 )
B = 10 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.5 )

D 36 45 52 58 62 66 69 71 74 76 78 79 81 82 83 85 85 86 87 88
Revive

for three minutes, and not indefinitely as other creatures.
A = Mana Cost
B = Number of Monsters
C = Hit Points of Original Monster %
L = Skill Level
L 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

B = L
C = 200 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 20 )
------
Amazon
------
----------------
Bow and Crossbow
----------------
This set of skills utilizes the Amazon's high dexterity well. It also kills
enemies from a distances, which would minimize repairing costs and damage
received.
Magic Arrow
-----------
Level 1
The magic arrow is an invaluable skill and for every point you pour in,
the damage dealt goes up while its mana cost goes down, making it a free
spell after level 13. They will miss their target, making it an excellent
way to damage enemies.
A = Mana Cost
B = Damage Modifier
L = Skill Level
L 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
A 1.5 1.3 1.2 1.1 1 .8 .7 .6 .5 .3 .2 .1 0
B = L - 1
Fire Arrow
----------
Level 1
This spell adds on fire to your arrows, causing it fire damage. This is
a little weak near the end due to the fire-resistant creatures, but it's
worth to put a few points here initially.
A = Mana Cost
B = Minimum Fire Damage
C = Maximum Fire Damage
L = Skill Level
A = 3 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.5 )
B = L * 2 - 1
C = B + 3
Cold Arrow
----------
Level 6
This skill is similar to Fire Arrow, except for it tags on cold damage,
as well as the ever useful effect of slowing down the enemy. This is an
effective amazon skill because it also helps play keep-away with the
monsters, slowing them down while you can keep on hitting them.
A = Mana Cost
B = Cold Damage
C = Cold Length in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 3 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.5 )
B = L * 2 + 1
C = 4 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 1.2 )
Multiple Shot
-------------
Level 6
Multiple Shot magically splits one arrow into multiple arrows. As you put
more points into this skill, you will get more arrow. This is very
effective in clearing out rooms, and with critical strike, you can easily
destroy hordes of creatures.
A = Mana Cost
B = Number of Arrows
L = Skill Level
A = L + 3
B = L + 1
Ice Arrow
---------
Level 18

==============
iii. Quests
==============
Unlike the original Diablo, the quests are the same and are set every game.
While you do not have to do all the quests, each quest do have their
rewards. However, the maps are still random, with everything - monsters,
items, and others - are completely random.
-------------------------
Act I: The Sightless Eye
-------------------------
----------------
Rogue Encampment
----------------
This is the town to Act I. There's nothing special here, and I dislike
the town because it doesn't look too nice. Other than that, it's just
another town.
Non-Player Characters
---------------------
Charsi
------
Found in the upper right, it's a blacksmith that repairs, buys, and sells.
Akara
-----
Located in the lower right, it's the mage of the town, selling various
magical stuff. You also get a free heal when you talk to her.
Kasha
-----
When you finish her quest, she will let you rent out mercenaries, which
will try to aid you on your quest.
Deckard Cain
------------
Found near your stash, he identify items for free when you rescue him and
when you complete a quest.
Gheed
-----
The Gamble person of the town that sells everything for a little more.
Warriv
------
Found near your Private Stash, his duty is to take you back and forth to
Lut Gholein, the town of Act II.
---------------------
Quest I - Den of Evil
---------------------
This is a very straight forward quest. You are to clear the Den. It is
preferable to gain a level or two first, but this is easy. There is one
unique in this area though, so be careful. The Den is located in the Blood
Moor, and when you complete the quest, you can visit Akara and receive your
reward - a free Skill Point.
-------------------------
Quest II - Burial Grounds
-------------------------
This quest is hard for beginners, so you should stay in the Blood Moor and
gain some levels. Your job is to destroy Blood Raven. She's fast, she
raises skeletons, and she shoots arrow. She even do Fire Damage.
Try to gain experience in Cold Plains before you move on to the Burial
Grounds. You should try to kill her minions first. When you are done,
it's worthwhile to check out the two dungeon - Crypt and Mausoleum, nearby.
They are intended to raise your level, and are not too difficult if you
can get pass Blood Raven. There are unique monsters in there, so it's a
great way to gain some experience and item.
----------------------------
Quest III - The Cairn Stones
----------------------------
This is the longest quest so far. You have to get to Dark Woods to find
the Tree of Inifuss, which require you to find and use the Underground
Passage, which is located in Stony Fields. There are hordes of monsters
in the Underground Passageway, so go prepared. At the tree, there will
be plenty of fighting left to do. The Scroll is a 2 by 2 item, so be sure
to make room for it. Talk to Akara and she will decipher the scroll for
you. Find the Cairn Stone and touch them in the proper order, and the
Portal to Tristam will open. There will be plenty of creatures there as
well, so be sure to pay a quick visit to town to repair and prepare.
Tristam is full of enemies, quickly go to the middle of the town, and
release Cain from his cage. He will leave quickly. There is a unique in
this town, the familiar Griswold, but now he's cursed. He's slow, but he
is one tough cookie. If you head toward to upper left, you will see Wirt's
corpse. Pick up his leg, and save it in your stash. You will need it
when you beat the game if you plan on getting to the cow stage.
------------------------------
Quest IV - The Forgotten Tower
------------------------------
To activate this quest, you have to find the Moldy Tome in the Stony Field.
The Forgotten Tower is located in the Black Marsh, which is connected to
from the Dark Woods. There will be pleny of monsters in you way. This quest
is not hard, and it is a great way to gain experience. The first four
levels are just regular fighting, but be careful when you are on the fifth
level, as the Countess is not easy. She likes to use Fire Walls, so be
careful where you step. An effective way is to lure her minions out to
fight you, as she is easy without her minions. When you destroy her,
there will be plenty of gold for you.
----------------------------
Quest V - Tools of the Trade
----------------------------
This quest is enabled when you talk to Charsi upon completion of the
previous quest. You have to reach the Monastery, which is far away. You
will need to travel from the Dark Wood to the Black Marsh to the Tamoe
Highland. You will gain much experience on the way, however, so it is worth
your while. When you fight your way into the Barracks, you will have to
locate the Malus, which is on your when you can see it. Beware, as it is
protected by the Smith, as well as plenty of minions. If you can remember
the Butcher, the Smith is basically the same, but is very tough, so beware.
Try to take out the minions before facing the Smith. When you killed the
Smith, you can take the Malus and return it to Charsi, she will then imbue
something for you. One piece of advice is to not imbue until you get to
Nightmare difficulty or Hell difficulty, because she will not imbue anything
magical, socketed, jewelry or thrown item. In Nightmare and Hell difficulty,
there are items that are exceptional items, which means they have higher
stats in some area, so it's a good idea to keep it. Since the imbue is
random, one way to cheat is to save your character files before you imbue,
and then restore them if you don't like the imbuing, and repeat.
-----------------------------------
Quest VI - Sisters to the Slaughter
-----------------------------------
This is the last quest of Act I, and is deservingly hard. The fight
is inside the Monastery, and it will not be easy getting there. You will
have to move from the Barracks, through the Jail, through the Inner Cloister,
through the Cathedral and then finally into the Catacombs. The Jail is
especially hard at this point, as the monsters will be sniping you from
behind bars. There are plenty of monsters and unique monsters along the
way, so be very prepared to fight. There is a waypoint marker on level 2
of the catacombs, and it's a very good idea that you get to it, because
Andariel is very tough. She is inside the room in Catacombs in the double
doors. Be sure to clear the areas surrounding it first. She will throw
out plenty of poison, so either have poison resistance, or have plenty of
antidote. When you destroy her, you can head back to down, talk to Warriv,
and head East. You will get to see a cool Full Motion Video.
-------------------------------
Act II - The Secret of Vizjerei
-------------------------------
-----------
Lut Gholein
-----------
This is a beautiful town with details. Note that the palace will not be
accessed until near the second half of the Act.
Non-Player Characters
---------------------
Warriv
------
He took you here, and can take you back to the Rogue's Encampment.
Drognan
-------
The one that buys and sells all things magical, scrolls, tomes, and potions.
Griez
-----
The one to provide you with his mercenaries.
Fara
----
The Blacksmith of the town, she also heals you instanteously. She will
repair your armor and weapons.
Elzix
-----
The Gambler of the city, he will sell you weapons and armor, if at a slightly
higher price.
Jerhyn
------
The leader of the city that will lead you to the later quests.
Deckard Cain
------------
Doing what he does... not much.
Lysander
--------
He sells and buys potions, keys, and some items.
Gelash
------
Doesn't do much, but does give some information if you can somehow decrypt
his messages.
Atma
----
She doesn't do much except for gives you the first quest.
Meshif
------
The one that will allow you to travel east to the Kurast Docktown.
-------------------------
Quest I - Radament's Lair
-------------------------
Atma will give you this quest and you can enter the Sewers on the North
side of the city. There will be tons of undeads, as well as fire-happy
monsters, so having some fire resistances will help greatly. When you
reach Radament on the lower level, you will find him very hard. He is
magic resistant, and can poison you, and he can also resurrect his dead
minions. When you destroy him, there will be a Book of Skill, which
allow you to receive an invaluable Skill Point. Then look for the Horadric
Scroll. Bring it to Cain, and he will keep you updated.
----------------------------
Quest II - The Horadic Staff
----------------------------
This is a true epic quest. You will need three items - the Horadric Cube,
the Horadic Shaft, and the Viper Amulet. The first piece you need to find
is the Horadric Cube, which is located in the Halls of the Dead, which is
in the Dry Hills. The Cube can be found on level 3 of Halls of the Dead.
You will find a few uniques along the way, and you rack up the experience,
pick up the Horadric Cube and put it away. Next, you will need the Horadric
Staft, which is found in the Sand Maggot Lair, which is found in the Far
Oasis. The Shaft is found on the level 3. The final part of the staff
can be found on level 2 of the Claw Viper Temple in the Valley of the Snakes.
Which is next to the Lost City, next to the Far Oasis. The Amulet will be
on level 2. There will be plenty of enemies with poison and cold. When
you are done, put both part of the staff in to the Horadric Cube, and you
can transmute it into a staff. Talk to Cain and follow his instructions.
---------------------------
Quest III - The Tainted Sun
---------------------------
The Tainted Sun is a quest that will be finished when you finish the
previous quest. Basically, you will have to go to the Claw Viper Temple and
kill the Unique there, and then destroy the evil altar.
-------------------------------
Quest IV - The Arcane Sanctuary
-------------------------------
This quest will be given to you by the Drognan, and all the quests will
be given to you by various people. You move through the Place onto the
Harem, and on the lowest level, there will be a portal to the Arcane
Santuary.
----------------------
Quest V - The Summoner
----------------------
When you meet the Summoner in the Arcane Sanctuary, you will receive this
quest. The Summoner is well-toned in the arts of magic, so be prepared to
stock up on the resistances. He is tough, and you have to do some footwork
to get around his fire walls, but he is beatable.
--------------------------
Quest VI - The Seven Tombs
--------------------------
This is the last quest. When you kill the summoner, you will read the tome
and it will give you the correct symbol. Go through the portal, and you will
arrive at the Canyon of the Magi. Hit the waypoint just in case. It is a
good idea to bag all the other false tombs for experiences and riches, if
you have time. Once you found the right tomb, insert the staff into the
hole, and it will open an entrance to the Duriel's lair. Duriel is fast,
and he casts many freeze and cold spells. Resistances against cold does
not work against his attacks. Keep Duriel at a distance with something
and keep on sniping him. He is tough with tons of hit points, so the
only way to take him out is keep on hitting. Once he is dead, walk around
the lair, and you will find Tyrael the Angel. He will deliever a speech
and a portal will open. Back to Lut Gohlein you go, and Meshif will take
you east, with another Full Motion Video follows.
---------------------------
Act III - The Infernal Gate
---------------------------
---------------
Kurast Docktown
---------------
This is the city of Act III. I don't like this town, too much running
around, and it's not much of an eye candy.
Non-Player Characters
---------------------
Meshif
------
He took you here from Lut Gohlein, and can take you back if desired.
Ormus
-----
This guy talks in a third-person perspective and do all the magic stuff,
while healing your health.
Deckard Cain
------------
He just tag along once again.
Hralti
------
The armor of the town that will repair your armor and weapons for you.
Asheara
-------
The one that will rent you Mercenaries. I personally like the ice-based
attack ones, because of the flayers, and this will slow any enemy down.
Alkor
-----
The Gambler of the town that is in a small hut. He's also crazy.
-------------------------
Quest I - The Golden Bird
-------------------------
This quest begins and ends rather quickly. When you first encounter and
destroy the first unique while exploring outside the town, you will receive
a Jade Figurine. Give this to Meshif, and he'll give you the Golden Bird,
which in turn is given to Alkor. Leave Alkor for about two seconds, come
back, and he will give you a potion of life. This potion of life adds
a permanent twenty to your life.
------------------------------------
Quest II - Blade of the Old Religion
------------------------------------
You will have to find an enchanted dagger called the Gidbinn. You must find
the Pygmy Village, which is around the Flayer Jungle. You will need to kill
the Pygmy with the Gidbinn, and once you do you can take it to Ormus. He
will now give you a rare magical ring. Asheara will now give you a free
mercenary. The same trick with the imbuing can be done here, since the
nature of the magical ring given is randomly generated. Make a copy of your
character files, get the ring, and if you do not like it, restore the older
copy of your character file, and keep on doing it until you do. This is
somewhat time consuming but may well worth the effort.
-------------------------
Quest III - Khalim's Will
-------------------------
Deckard Cain will give this quest to you. This quest is another epic quest,
similar to the Horadric Staff of last Act. You will need to find the Flail
and the three body parts.
Eye
---
The first body part can be found in the Spider Forest, inside the Spider
Cavern. Be sure to gain some experience before, as you may need all the
advantages you can get. Going back to last Act's Canyon of Magi is a
great way to gain experience. After you destroy the unique, you can
take the Eye and many goodies that are in the golden chest.
Brain
-----
Khalim's brain is small, taking usually one by one space. It is found on
the third level of the Flayer Dungeon. You have to destroy an unique to
get it, so be careful, as it is a shaman.
Heart
-----
The heart is located in the level 2 of sewers, which is located in
Upper Kurast. This is no easy task, so be prepared.
Flail
-----
This is the last piece of the puzzle, and it is held by one of the members
of the High Council, which is Travincal. You would have to kill the Council
Members for another quest anyhow, but remember that they are very very
tough, especially if you breeze through the previous quests, so remember to
gain experience where you can.
--------------------------
Quest IV - Lam Esen's Tome
--------------------------
You will have to find a tome and return it to Alkor. It is located
in a ruined temple, and inside you will find the Lam Esen's Tome. The
temple is located in a random temple in Upper Kurast, the Bazzar, and the
Causeway. This is very time consuming, but when you get the book and return
it to Alkor, you will gain five attribute points.
------------------------------
Quest V - The Blackened Temple
------------------------------
This quest will be given to you by Ormus. You will have to kill all the
evil High Council there, and destroy the Compelling Orb with Khalim's Will.
The three council members are all uniques, with plenty of minions with them.
Be careful. Once you destroy them, you will find the Compelling Orb inside
the Travincal area. You can open the door to the Durance of Hate.
-----------------------
Quest VI - The Guardian
-----------------------
When you destroy the Compelling Orb, you will have to find the Tower, and
then destroy Mephisto himself. This is the last quest of the act, and it's
not easy at all. Be sure to hit the way point in the Durance of Hate,
as you may probably need it. Mephisto is heavily guarded by Council Members,
Blood Lords, and many other destructive creatures. He will also cast many
spells toward you, such as meteors and firewalls. Fire resistance, as well
as lightning resistance and poison resistance are critical, as he will
do poison damge, and cast lightning bolts. When you kill him, be sure
to pick up the Soulstone and the item he gives up.
----------------------
Act IV - The Harrowing
----------------------
--------------------
Pandemonium Fortress
--------------------
The last cityin the game, and there's not much people here. Just another
city, but only this time, you can't hire mercenaries, so you're on your
own.
Non-Player Characters
---------------------
Deckard Cain
------------
He's still here, just tagging along.
Tyrael
------
The angel that will give you quests. He's the man.
Jamella
-------
The wizard person that will sell you things, as well as gambling.
Halbu
-----
He buys and sells weapons an armor, as well as repairs.
--------------------------
Quest I - The Fallen Angel
--------------------------
Tyrael will ask you to destroy an unique monster that is actually Izual.
Sad faith turned him against the good. He will have Cold Attacks, so having
cold resistance is a good idea. You will get two skill points when you
complete this quest. Izual is in the Plains of Despair, and is randomly
placed, so you have to probably fight through plenty of creatures to get
to him. Always be prepared.
------------------------
Quest II - The Hellforge
------------------------
If you picked up the Soulstone from last Act, then you will have to take it
to Hellforge to destroy it. If you didn't take it, well, Cain will give
it to you anyhow, so don't worry about it. The Hellforge is across the
River of Flame, which is in the City of the Dammed, next to the Plains of
Despair. You will meet Hephasto, which is a much tougher Smith that you
have encounter in Act I. Destroy all the creatures, and this is hard, so
be sure to have plenty of town portals. You will get the Hellforge Hammer
when you kill Hephasto. Just equip the Hammer, and then put the Soulstone
on the forge. You will be able to smash the stone and you will be rewarded
with a large number of Gems.
------------------------
Quest III - Terror's End
------------------------
You will have to move around the Chaos Sanctum and find five seals. Break
them, and Diablo will show up. There will be uniques when some of the
seals are broken, so be ready. Diablo has many attacks, and it's a good idea
to have resistance to everything. He is the toughest guy you seen right now,
and rightfully so. If you run, he will Bone Cage you, leaving you wide open
for his spells, so be careful. Bring plenty of Town Portals, and cast them
ahead of time so when you die, you can come back, or you can run into it.
When you kill him, the game is over.
Congratulations!
-----------------
Act ? - Cow Level
-----------------
I almost forgot about this, but after you have beaten the game, start a new
game under Normal, and head to the Rogue Encampment. If you kept Wirt's leg,
put it in the Cube along with a Tome of Town Portal. Transmute, and the
portal will pop up. This is an interesting stage, but keep in mind that this
is very hard, as it's not easy at all. Th Cows are strong, and even stronger
if they swarm you. Take it slowly to make sure not too many of them will be
able to hit you and you will do fine.
================
iv. Monsters
================
There are plenty of monsters in this game and I will just give most of the
information I know about them in here. If there's more that I should know,
please email me. The stats here are not uniques, they will be covered in
another portion.
These are rough estimates, and I will update soon with more information on
how to deal with each one.

Magical Weapon and Armor
------------------------
There are plenty of magical items in this game, as there are many. They are
blue when you pick it up, and you will need to use an Identify Scroll to
reveal the hidden stats of it. The magical items depends on the prefixes

identical magical items.

Unique Weapons and Armor
------------------------
Unique weapons and armor are not random, but they do appear randomly in
the game. They may have a different graphic, which looks cool. They are
usually worth something, so it's a good idea to pick it up. Their name
is in Gold, which would seperate them from all the other items.
I am currently compiling a list. I will post this up later.
----------------------
Rare Weapons and Armor
----------------------
Rare weapons and armor are even better than just magical items because they
can have more than one magical modifier. They are still generated randomly
in the game, and they are usually what people show off. There are actually
different Suffixes for each different item. They may not have any effect
at all, but they make the weapon or armor unique and look cool.

Foreword
========
It has come to my attention that some readers believe that this FAQ is a
simple rip-off copy of BradyGames' own strategy guide for Diablo 2. When
I wrote this FAQ, there were enough hacks out for me to test most of things
mentioned in this FAQ, with many things filled in by a few of my friends.
With all that been said, I will try to obtain a copy of BradyGames's
strategy guide soon, and make a judgement call. If the contents are similar
enough or so, I will immediately request the deletion of my submitted
articles in the various webpages this FAQ has been posted.
I am not profitted in any way in writing this, except for perhaps the
enjoyment of writing.
I am rather upset, and flattered that such a poorly written FAQ could be
comparable to a professional work.
If BradyGames or Blizzard wish the deletion of this FAQ, I will do so
immediately.

Story
-----
Following up on the first game, Diablo has taken the body of the one
who has defeated him. He travels east to the desert in hopes of freeing
his brothers. This would set free the greatest evil the world has known.
Inventory
---------
This is where you put your things. This is basically the same inventory
as in the first game, with the notable exception that gold doesn't take
up slots anymore. There is also a private stash which is in each town.
The stash transfers from town to town, and is protected from almost anything.
Armor and Weapons
-----------------
If you plan to kill Diablo, you will need tons of these. An important
factor is the durability of the item. If it is zero, it will not be able
to be used. An item with a passive magical ability will not be activiated.
It is a good idea to keep your armor and weapons in relatively good repair,
for no one can predict the entropy of hell.
The Belt
--------
At the game's start, your belt will only be able to keep 4 potions. By
equipping yourself with bigger and better belts, you will be able to 'stack'
multiple potions. By pressing one of the four corresponding keys (1-4), you
will be able to quickly access your potions and scrolls. When you have
something in the belt, and you pick up new potions of the same type, it will
automatically be stacked on top, if it has enough room.
Scrolls and Potions
-------------------
Scrolls and potions are very essential to any traveler. A Tome is very
handly because you can fill it with 20 scrolls, thus saving tons of
inventory space.
Scrolls
Identify Item
This scroll shows you the magical properties of any one
magical item. It will usually increased the value of
the item if you plan to sell it.
Town Portal
This will open a portal back to the corresponding town
in the act. It is a very powerful life-saver, as it
provides you a quick and easy way to get back to town.
Potions
Healing Potions
These potions replenish your health. There are five types
of potions and they will heal depending your character class.
Mana Potions
Mana potions replenish your mana. Like healing potions,
it gives you mana depending on your character class and
the strength of the mana potion.
Antidote Potion
This potion will cure poison instantly.
Rejuvenation Potion
This potion instantly replenish one-third of your health
and mana. This is sometimes useful as it does not have the
lag that healing potions have, and thus can be important
sometimes.
Full Rejuvenation potion
This potion instantly fills all of your health and mana.
Difficulty Levels
-----------------
Once you have slain Diablo, a new difficulty level will unlock. This
is the Nightmare difficulty. Once you slain Diablo in Nightmare, it will
unlock the Hell difficulty. The difficulty level increases the
experience loss for death and it is highly recommended that you gain tons
of experience in Act IV of the previous difficulty before you move on.
A general good idea to move to nightmare is around level 30, and hell,
50.
==================
ii. Characters
==================
In Diablo 2, there are five different and distinct character classes.
They are the Barbarian, Sorceress, Necromancer, Amazon, and the Paladin.
Like any other good games, each of these characters has their strength
and weaknesses. Depart from Diablo 1, Diablo 2 has a full set of skill
trees for each character. There's 10 skills under each sets of skills for
each character and there is 3 sets of skills for each character, making
for a total of 150 skills for the 5 characters. Thus, even characters
from the same class may look and act very differently.
The Characters
Necromancer
The Necromancer uses dark magic to his advantage. He can
raise undead to attack for him, and since he gains
experience that from the kills of his minions, this makes
the leveling the first few levels quite easy.
Amazon
The Amazon may be better recognized as the "Rogue" of
Diablo 1. It is a very powerful, fast, and versatile
character who can deal many methods of damage. Usually
holding missle weapons, you will not need to repair armor
often, and can handle very strong hand-to-hand battles
if needed.
Paladin
A natural leader, a paladin or two is very powerful in
multiplayer, as his aura can help his party. However, this
does not make him a weak player in stand-alone play. His
ability to heal will save him many times and he is more
than a capable fighter and various magic.
Sorceress
The sorceress is weak in combat, but she more than makes it
up in her magic. She has the power to freeze, burn, and
toast creatures, and can take out monsters in groups.
Barbarian
The warrior of the group, the barbarian is the master of
physical combat. His exceptional strength will allow him
to wield and wear weapons and armors, respectively, that
other classes will not or have trouble doing so. The vast
skills that he process will be his alone.
Character Skills Development
----------------------------
Because of the 30 skills for each player and 20 skill levels for each skill,
if you want to max out your player, you will need 600 levels. However,
as I have found out the hard way, skills distribution is very important in
this game. I cannot emphasis this more. I will list the individual
classes and the various ways you can specialize. Specialization is very
important.
---------------
The Necromancer
---------------
---------------
Posion and Bone
---------------
This set of skills uses magical attacks that serves a huge range of
purposes, including defense, attack, stall.
Teeth
-----
Level 1
This fires multiple magic teeth. The advantage is that as you pour skill
points into this, there will be more teeth and it will hit targets behind
the first and is useful against a room of enemies, although its damage
may be too weak for after Act I.
A = Mana Cost
Bmin = Minimum Damage
Bmax = Maximum Damage
C = Number of Teeth
L = Skill Level
A = 3 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.5 )
Bmin = L + 1
Bmax = Bmin + 2
C = L + 1
Bone Armor
----------
Level 1
This spells creates a protective shield that will absorb damage that would
have been dealt to you. This skill is very important early in the game.
A = Damage Absorbed
B = Mana Cost
L = Skill Level
A = 20 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 10 )
B = L + 10
Poison Dagger
-------------
Level 6
This spell poisons the target you hit when you have a dagger in your hand.
Personally, this skill is not that useful, as it is only for melee combat
and does not have an effect with a thrown dagger. However, the stats
for this does get very high as you put more into this skill.
A = Minimum Posion Damage
B = Maximum Posion Damage
C = Duration (In Seconds)
D = Attack Rating Bonus
E = Mana Cost
L = Skill Level
L 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
A 7 10 14 18 23 29 35 41 49 57 65 74 84 94 105 116 128 141 154 168
B 15 20 26 33 40 48 56 65 75 85 95 106 118 131 144 157 171 186 201 217
(I somewhat figured out the pattern, but it's too complicated)
C = L + 3
D = 15 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 10 )
E = 3 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.5 ) rounded down
Corpse Explosion
----------------
Level 6
This is probably the most powerful skill of the Necromancer, and at such
and early time, it is important to pump tons of skill points into this to
increase the radius of effect.
A = Mana Cost
B = Radius of Blast in yards
L = Skill Level
A = L + 14
B = 2.8 + ( ( L - 1 ) * ( 5/8) )
Bone Wall
---------
Level 12
Mana Cost 17 Mana
Duration 48 Seconds
This skill creates a barrier of bone that will prevent anyone from passing
through it. It is quite useless after Act I, except for maybe stalling
enough to get out of trouble.
A = Hit Points
L = Skill Level
A = 19 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 4.5 )
Bone Prison
-----------
Level 24
Duration 48 seconds
This is very similar to the Bone Wall except for it forms a circle around
the target rather than a wall. This will prevent the target from getting
to you, but it also prevents you from getting to the target. You can
use this to stall someone or to run away.
A = Mana Cost
B = Hit Points
L = Skill Level
A = 27 - ( ( L - 1 ) * 2 )
*Note: from level 14 on, this spell cost only 1 mana to cast.
B = 19 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 4.5 )
Poison Explosion
----------------
Level 18
Mana Cost 8 Mana
This skill is identical to Corpse Explosion, except for it does poison
damage. It is very powerful and it has the advantage of poison - it
does damage that continues over time. This is another skill that is very
important if you are a necromancer.
A = Minimum Poison Damage
B = Maximum Poison Damage
C = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 25 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 5 )
B = 50 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 10 )
C = 4 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.8 )
Bone Spear
----------
Level 18
Bone Spear is a powerful spell that creates a bone missile of magic
that flies forth from the necromancer and inflicts much damage. It will
passes through enemies and continue, thus is very effective in hallways,
as in many places in Act II.
A = Minimum Damage
B = Maximum Damage
C = Mana Cost
L = Skill Level
A = 16 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 8 )
B = A + 8
C = 7 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.5 )
Poison Nova
-----------
Level 30
Mana Cost 25 Mana
This skill creates a ring of poison that will explode outward from the
necromancer and it is a very powerful spell that will inflict a large
amount of damage to a group of enemies that surrounds the necromancer.
Since this does not need a corpse, as poison explosion needs, it is very
handy, with its only drawback being its high mana cost.
A = Minimum Poison Damage
B = Maximum Poison Damage
C = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 50 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 5 )
B = 75 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 7.5 )
C = 8 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.8 )
Bone Spirit
-----------
Level 30
This skill creates a spirit that will seek any enemy and inflict massive
damage. Although the damage increases rapidly, it is better to pour
points into Bone Spear as it works better fighting large groups of
creatures.
A = Mana Cost
B = Minimum Damage
C = Maximum Damage
L = Skill Level
A = 12 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.5 )
B = 20 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 16 )
C = 30 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 16 )
------
Curses
------
The Curses are a set of skills that will affect the enemy and is usually
used in conjunction with skeletons and golems or great for multiplayer.
Since the curses works against groups, it makes for powerful spells.
Amplify Damage
--------------
Level 1
Mana Cost 4 Mana
Damage 200%
Amplify Damage is a very powerful early skill because it increases the
damage dealt to the cursed target by doubling it. This means any hits
on the targets will count as two. The duration and the effect increases
and will allow you to use other spells.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 2 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 6.5 )
B = 8 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 3 )
Dim Vision
----------
Level 6
Mana Cost 9 Mana
Sight Radius 1 Yard
Dim Vision reduces the sight radius, making them nearly blind. With
Arrows or Skeleton Mages, you can take out enemies before they even
see you. You can also use this spell so archers cannot shoot you.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 2.6 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 6.5 )
B = 7 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2 )
Weaken
------
Level 6
Mana Cost 6 Mana
Damage Dealt 66%
Weaken reduces the amount of damage the cursed can do to you and your party.
This skill is defensive and is best used in a situation where you are
surrounded by a great number of enemies.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 6 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 6.5 )
B = 14 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.4 )
Iron Maiden
-----------
Level 12
Mana Cost 5 Mana
Radius 4.6 yards
This skill forces the cursed creature to take damage that it deals.
This is a very powerful spell as it will allow you to take out some minions
very quickly.
A = Percent Damage Returned
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 200 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 25 )
B = 12 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.4 )
Terror
------
Level 12
Mana Cost 7 Mana
Radius 2.6 Yards
Terror makes the cursed creature run away in terror. This is not a skill
you will use frequently, but will get you out of trouble at the worst
times. Its set radius will limit the ability of this spell.
A = Duration in seconds
L = Skill Level
A = L + 7
Confuse
-------
Level 18
Mana Cost 13 Mana
Confuse will force the cursed monster to attack random nearby monsters
and/or players randomly, so this spell is very effective in a group of
creatures as they will greatly reduce each other's collective hit points.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 4 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 6.5 )
B = 10 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 10 )
Life Tap
--------
Level 18
Mana Cost 9 Mana
Hit points drained 50% of damage
This is one of the few ways in this game to replenish health. When you
curse someone, they will give up the life they lose to you. This
is very effective at times, as its duration and radius increases with level,
thus benefitting both you and your party members. Note that when your
skeletons and golems hits the enemy, they will return the 50 percent damage
to themselves, thus healing themselves.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 2.6 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.635 )
B = 16 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2.4 )
Attract
-------
Level 24
Mana Cost 17 Mana
Radius 6 Yards
This skill is very effectively in taking out uniques, although it will
not work on bosses. This will also create an escape route for you as
the enemies will go after the cursed creature.
A = Duration
L = Skill Level
A = 12 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 3.6 )
Decrepify
---------
Level 24
Mana Cost 11 Mana
This is one of the few skills that will slow enemies down, even though it
will not freeze them. It is not cold, and thus is very useful in some
situation. It will also allow your Skeletal Mages and party members to
fire off before the enemies can attack in melee.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
L = Skill Level
A = 2.6 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.635 )
B = 2 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.2 )
Lower Resist
------------
Level 30
Mana Cost 22 Mana
Lower Resist will lower the enemy's resistance by more than 30 percent,
and it will allow some skills to be more effective, as creatures will
have greater resistance near the end of the game.
A = Radius in Yards
B = Duration in Seconds
C = Resist Lowered by in %
L = Skill Level
A = 4.6 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.635 )
B = 20 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2 )
L 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
C 31 37 41 44 47 49 51 52 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 61 61 62 62
---------
Summoning
---------
The Necromancer can raise the dead to help him. He also has the power
to summon golems from. While they are powerful initially, they will
be hard to maintain in the later acts.
Skeleton Mastery
----------------
Level 1
If you planned on summoning tons of skeletons, this is a very important
skill to pump up your minions.
A = Skeleton Hit Points
B = Skeleton Damage
C = Monster Hit Points
D = Monster Damage %
L = Skill Level
A = L * 7
B = L * 2
C = L * 7
D = L * 2
Raise Skeleton
--------------
Level 1
For every new skill point, you can raise one more skeleton, but the
problem lies in the fact that it is very difficult to manage all the
skeletons, as they will get stuck behind doors and very hard to move around
in tight quarters. Many Skeleton will get lost. And late in the game,
the skeleton will get destroyed very quickly, and it will be hard to
maintain the pace to create more, and it also becomes harder to find more
dead bodies.
A = Number of Skeletons
B = Mana Cost
L = Skill Level
A = L
B = L + 5
Clay Golem
----------
Level 6
This creates a Golem, with the exception that you can only have ONE
golem of any type at one time. The advantage is that they heal
over time, and that's why they are better than skeletons, as they do not
need corpses to be created.
A = Mana Cost
B = Minimum Damage
C = Maximum Damage
D = Hit Points
L = Skill Level
A = 15 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 3 )
B = 2 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 0.65 )
C = 5 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 1.65 )
D = 100 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 35 )
Golem Mastery
-------------
Level 12
This is to Golems what Skeleton Mastery to Skeletons. This increases
the health and speed of golems, and it is quite worth the investment.
A = Hit Points % increase
B = Speed % increase
L = Skill Level
A = L * 20
L 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
B 8 10 14 17 20 22 23 24 26 27 28 29 30 30 31 32 32 32 33 33
Raise Skeletal Mage
-------------------
Level 12
Hit Points 61
This raises a skeleton mage to fight for your necromancer. It is very
useful as they will shoot a ranged attack. When it is summoned, it will
be one of the four random elements: Fire, Cold, Poison, or Lightning.
You will not be able to choose which kind, but nonetheless, you can keep
raising one after another until you get the kind you want, at the cost
of mana.
A = Number of skeletal mages
B = Mana Cost
L = Skill Level
A = L
B = L + 7
Blood Golem
-----------
Level 18
Hit Points 201
Blood Golem raises a Golem that's connected to you in health, which means
that you will gain the health it steals, and you will lose the health it
loses. This is very effective in the earlier levels, but will be bad
near the end, as the huge groups of enemies will quickly destroy the blood
golem.
A = Mana Cost
B = Minimum Damage
C = Maximum Damage
D = Heal Convert Damage
L = Skill Level
A = 25 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 4 )
B = 6 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 2 )
C = 16 + ( ( L - 1 ) * 5.5 )
L 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
D 31 32 33 34 35 35 35 36 36 36 37 37 37 37 37 38 38 38 38 38
Summon Resist
-------------
Level 24
Summon Resist that will increases the resistance of your minions. This
will become very useful near the end of the game, as the damages will be
elemental.

than a few points into this, as the damage modifier will increase
dramatically after a few skill points.

==============
iii. Quests
==============
Unlike the original Diablo, the quests are the same and are set every game.
While you do not have to do all the quests, each quest do have their
rewards. However, the maps are still random, with everything - monsters,
items, and others - are completely random.
-------------------------
Act I: The Sightless Eye
-------------------------
----------------
Rogue Encampment
----------------
This is the town to Act I. There's nothing special here, and I dislike
the town because it doesn't look too nice. Other than that, it's just
another town.
Non-Player Characters
---------------------
Charsi
------
Found in the upper right, it's a blacksmith that repairs, buys, and sells.
Akara
-----
Located in the lower right, it's the mage of the town, selling various
magical stuff. You also get a free heal when you talk to her.
Kasha
-----
When you finish her quest, she will let you rent out mercenaries, which
will try to aid you on your quest.
Deckard Cain
------------
Found near your stash, he identify items for free when you rescue him and
when you complete a quest.
Gheed
-----
The Gamble person of the town that sells everything for a little more.
Warriv
------
Found near your Private Stash, his duty is to take you back and forth to
Lut Gholein, the town of Act II.
---------------------
Quest I - Den of Evil
---------------------
This is a very straight forward quest. You are to clear the Den. It is
preferable to gain a level or two first, but this is easy. There is one
unique in this area though, so be careful. The Den is located in the Blood
Moor, and when you complete the quest, you can visit Akara and receive your
reward - a free Skill Point.
-------------------------
Quest II - Burial Grounds
-------------------------
This quest is hard for beginners, so you should stay in the Blood Moor and
gain some levels. Your job is to destroy Blood Raven. She's fast, she
raises skeletons, and she shoots arrow. She even do Fire Damage.
Try to gain experience in Cold Plains before you move on to the Burial
Grounds. You should try to kill her minions first. When you are done,
it's worthwhile to check out the two dungeon - Crypt and Mausoleum, nearby.
They are intended to raise your level, and are not too difficult if you
can get pass Blood Raven. There are unique monsters in there, so it's a
great way to gain some experience and item.
----------------------------
Quest III - The Cairn Stones
----------------------------
This is the longest quest so far. You have to get to Dark Woods to find
the Tree of Inifuss, which require you to find and use the Underground
Passage, which is located in Stony Fields. There are hordes of monsters
in the Underground Passageway, so go prepared. At the tree, there will
be plenty of fighting left to do. The Scroll is a 2 by 2 item, so be sure
to make room for it. Talk to Akara and she will decipher the scroll for
you. Find the Cairn Stone and touch them in the proper order, and the
Portal to Tristam will open. There will be plenty of creatures there as
well, so be sure to pay a quick visit to town to repair and prepare.
Tristam is full of enemies, quickly go to the middle of the town, and
release Cain from his cage. He will leave quickly. There is a unique in
this town, the familiar Griswold, but now he's cursed. He's slow, but he
is one tough cookie. If you head toward to upper left, you will see Wirt's
corpse. Pick up his leg, and save it in your stash. You will need it
when you beat the game if you plan on getting to the cow stage.
------------------------------
Quest IV - The Forgotten Tower
------------------------------
To activate this quest, you have to find the Moldy Tome in the Stony Field.
The Forgotten Tower is located in the Black Marsh, which is connected to
from the Dark Woods. There will be pleny of monsters in you way. This quest
is not hard, and it is a great way to gain experience. The first four
levels are just regular fighting, but be careful when you are on the fifth
level, as the Countess is not easy. She likes to use Fire Walls, so be
careful where you step. An effective way is to lure her minions out to
fight you, as she is easy without her minions. When you destroy her,
there will be plenty of gold for you.
----------------------------
Quest V - Tools of the Trade
----------------------------
This quest is enabled when you talk to Charsi upon completion of the
previous quest. You have to reach the Monastery, which is far away. You
will need to travel from the Dark Wood to the Black Marsh to the Tamoe
Highland. You will gain much experience on the way, however, so it is worth
your while. When you fight your way into the Barracks, you will have to
locate the Malus, which is on your when you can see it. Beware, as it is
protected by the Smith, as well as plenty of minions. If you can remember
the Butcher, the Smith is basically the same, but is very tough, so beware.
Try to take out the minions before facing the Smith. When you killed the
Smith, you can take the Malus and return it to Charsi, she will then imbue
something for you. One piece of advice is to not imbue until you get to
Nightmare difficulty or Hell difficulty, because she will not imbue anything
magical, socketed, jewelry or thrown item. In Nightmare and Hell difficulty,
there are items that are exceptional items, which means they have higher
stats in some area, so it's a good idea to keep it. Since the imbue is
random, one way to cheat is to save your character files before you imbue,
and then restore them if you don't like the imbuing, and repeat.
-----------------------------------
Quest VI - Sisters to the Slaughter
-----------------------------------
This is the last quest of Act I, and is deservingly hard. The fight
is inside the Monastery, and it will not be easy getting there. You will
have to move from the Barracks, through the Jail, through the Inner Cloister,
through the Cathedral and then finally into the Catacombs. The Jail is
especially hard at this point, as the monsters will be sniping you from
behind bars. There are plenty of monsters and unique monsters along the
way, so be very prepared to fight. There is a waypoint marker on level 2
of the catacombs, and it's a very good idea that you get to it, because
Andariel is very tough. She is inside the room in Catacombs in the double
doors. Be sure to clear the areas surrounding it first. She will throw
out plenty of poison, so either have poison resistance, or have plenty of
antidote. When you destroy her, you can head back to down, talk to Warriv,
and head East. You will get to see a cool Full Motion Video.
-------------------------------
Act II - The Secret of Vizjerei
-------------------------------
-----------
Lut Gholein
-----------
This is a beautiful town with details. Note that the palace will not be
accessed until near the second half of the Act.
Non-Player Characters

------
He took you here, and can take you back to the Rogue's Encampment.
Drognan
-------
The one that buys and sells all things magical, scrolls, tomes, and potions.

The one to provide you with his mercenaries.
Fara
----
The Blacksmith of the town, she also heals you instanteously. She will
repair your armor and weapons.
Elzix
-----
The Gambler of the city, he will sell you weapons and armor, if at a slightly
higher price.
Jerhyn
------
The leader of the city that will lead you to the later quests.
Deckard Cain
------------
Doing what he does... not much.
Lysander
--------
He sells and buys potions, keys, and some items.
Gelash
------
Doesn't do much, but does give some information if you can somehow decrypt
his messages.
Atma
----
She doesn't do much except for gives you the first quest.
Meshif
------
The one that will allow you to travel east to the Kurast Docktown.
-------------------------
Quest I - Radament's Lair
-------------------------
Atma will give you this quest and you can enter the Sewers on the North
side of the city. There will be tons of undeads, as well as fire-happy
monsters, so having some fire resistances will help greatly. When you
reach Radament on the lower level, you will find him very hard. He is
magic resistant, and can poison you, and he can also resurrect his dead
minions. When you destroy him, there will be a Book of Skill, which
allow you to receive an invaluable Skill Point. Then look for the Horadric
Scroll. Bring it to Cain, and he will keep you updated.
----------------------------
Quest II - The Horadic Staff
----------------------------
This is a true epic quest. You will need three items - the Horadric Cube,
the Horadic Shaft, and the Viper Amulet. The first piece you need to find
is the Horadric Cube, which is located in the Halls of the Dead, which is
in the Dry Hills. The Cube can be found on level 3 of Halls of the Dead.
You will find a few uniques along the way, and you rack up the experience,
pick up the Horadric Cube and put it away. Next, you will need the Horadric
Staft, which is found in the Sand Maggot Lair, which is found in the Far
Oasis. The Shaft is found on the level 3. The final part of the staff
can be found on level 2 of the Claw Viper Temple in the Valley of the Snakes.
Which is next to the Lost City, next to the Far Oasis. The Amulet will be
on level 2. There will be plenty of enemies with poison and cold. When
you are done, put both part of the staff in to the Horadric Cube, and you
can transmute it into a staff. Talk to Cain and follow his instructions.
---------------------------
Quest III - The Tainted Sun
---------------------------
The Tainted Sun is a quest that will be finished when you finish the
previous quest. Basically, you will have to go to the Claw Viper Temple and
kill the Unique there, and then destroy the evil altar.
-------------------------------
Quest IV - The Arcane Sanctuary
-------------------------------
This quest will be given to you by the Drognan, and all the quests will
be given to you by various people. You move through the Place onto the
Harem, and on the lowest level, there will be a portal to the Arcane
Santuary.
----------------------
Quest V - The Summoner
----------------------
When you meet the Summoner in the Arcane Sanctuary, you will receive this
quest. The Summoner is well-toned in the arts of magic, so be prepared to
stock up on the resistances. He is tough, and you have to do some footwork
to get around his fire walls, but he is beatable.
--------------------------
Quest VI - The Seven Tombs
--------------------------
This is the last quest. When you kill the summoner, you will read the tome
and it will give you the correct symbol. Go through the portal, and you will
arrive at the Canyon of the Magi. Hit the waypoint just in case. It is a
good idea to bag all the other false tombs for experiences and riches, if
you have time. Once you found the right tomb, insert the staff into the
hole, and it will open an entrance to the Duriel's lair. Duriel is fast,
and he casts many freeze and cold spells. Resistances against cold does
not work against his attacks. Keep Duriel at a distance with something
and keep on sniping him. He is tough with tons of hit points, so the
only way to take him out is keep on hitting. Once he is dead, walk around
the lair, and you will find Tyrael the Angel. He will deliever a speech
and a portal will open. Back to Lut Gohlein you go, and Meshif will take
you east, with another Full Motion Video follows.
---------------------------
Act III - The Infernal Gate
---------------------------
---------------
Kurast Docktown
---------------
This is the city of Act III. I don't like this town, too much running
around, and it's not much of an eye candy.
Non-Player Characters
---------------------
Meshif
------
He took you here from Lut Gohlein, and can take you back if desired.
Ormus
-----
This guy talks in a third-person perspective and do all the magic stuff,
while healing your health.
Deckard Cain
------------
He just tag along once again.
Hralti
------
The armor of the town that will repair your armor and weapons for you.
Asheara
-------
The one that will rent you Mercenaries. I personally like the ice-based
attack ones, because of the flayers, and this will slow any enemy down.
Alkor
-----
The Gambler of the town that is in a small hut. He's also crazy.
-------------------------
Quest I - The Golden Bird
-------------------------
This quest begins and ends rather quickly. When you first encounter and
destroy the first unique while exploring outside the town, you will receive
a Jade Figurine. Give this to Meshif, and he'll give you the Golden Bird,
which in turn is given to Alkor. Leave Alkor for about two seconds, come
back, and he will give you a potion of life. This potion of life adds
a permanent twenty to your life.
------------------------------------
Quest II - Blade of the Old Religion
------------------------------------
You will have to find an enchanted dagger called the Gidbinn. You must find
the Pygmy Village, which is around the Flayer Jungle. You will need to kill
the Pygmy with the Gidbinn, and once you do you can take it to Ormus. He
will now give you a rare magical ring. Asheara will now give you a free
mercenary. The same trick with the imbuing can be done here, since the
nature of the magical ring given is randomly generated. Make a copy of your
character files, get the ring, and if you do not like it, restore the older
copy of your character file, and keep on doing it until you do. This is
somewhat time consuming but may well worth the effort.
-------------------------
Quest III - Khalim's Will
-------------------------
Deckard Cain will give this quest to you. This quest is another epic quest,
similar to the Horadric Staff of last Act. You will need to find the Flail
and the three body parts.
Eye
---
The first body part can be found in the Spider Forest, inside the Spider
Cavern. Be sure to gain some experience before, as you may need all the
advantages you can get. Going back to last Act's Canyon of Magi is a
great way to gain experience. After you destroy the unique, you can
take the Eye and many goodies that are in the golden chest.
Brain
-----
Khalim's brain is small, taking usually one by one space. It is found on
the third level of the Flayer Dungeon. You have to destroy an unique to
get it, so be careful, as it is a shaman.
Heart
-----
The heart is located in the level 2 of sewers, which is located in
Upper Kurast. This is no easy task, so be prepared.
Flail
-----
This is the last piece of the puzzle, and it is held by one of the members
of the High Council, which is Travincal. You would have to kill the Council
Members for another quest anyhow, but remember that they are very very
tough, especially if you breeze through the previous quests, so remember to
gain experience where you can.
--------------------------
Quest IV - Lam Esen's Tome
--------------------------
You will have to find a tome and return it to Alkor. It is located
in a ruined temple, and inside you will find the Lam Esen's Tome. The
temple is located in a random temple in Upper Kurast, the Bazzar, and the
Causeway. This is very time consuming, but when you get the book and return
it to Alkor, you will gain five attribute points.
------------------------------
Quest V - The Blackened Temple
------------------------------
This quest will be given to you by Ormus. You will have to kill all the
evil High Council there, and destroy the Compelling Orb with Khalim's Will.
The three council members are all uniques, with plenty of minions with them.
Be careful. Once you destroy them, you will find the Compelling Orb inside
the Travincal area. You can open the door to the Durance of Hate.
-----------------------
Quest VI - The Guardian
-----------------------
When you destroy the Compelling Orb, you will have to find the Tower, and
then destroy Mephisto himself. This is the last quest of the act, and it's
not easy at all. Be sure to hit the way point in the Durance of Hate,
as you may probably need it. Mephisto is heavily guarded by Council Members,
Blood Lords, and many other destructive creatures. He will also cast many
spells toward you, such as meteors and firewalls. Fire resistance, as well
as lightning resistance and poison resistance are critical, as he will
do poison damge, and cast lightning bolts. When you kill him, be sure
to pick up the Soulstone and the item he gives up.
----------------------
Act IV - The Harrowing
----------------------
--------------------
Pandemonium Fortress
--------------------
The last cityin the game, and there's not much people here. Just another
city, but only this time, you can't hire mercenaries, so you're on your
own.
Non-Player Characters
---------------------
Deckard Cain
------------
He's still here, just tagging along.
Tyrael
------
The angel that will give you quests. He's the man.
Jamella
-------
The wizard person that will sell you things, as well as gambling.
Halbu
-----
He buys and sells weapons an armor, as well as repairs.
--------------------------
Quest I - The Fallen Angel
--------------------------
Tyrael will ask you to destroy an unique monster that is actually Izual.
Sad faith turned him against the good. He will have Cold Attacks, so having
cold resistance is a good idea. You will get two skill points when you
complete this quest. Izual is in the Plains of Despair, and is randomly
placed, so you have to probably fight through plenty of creatures to get
to him. Always be prepared.
------------------------
Quest II - The Hellforge
------------------------
If you picked up the Soulstone from last Act, then you will have to take it
to Hellforge to destroy it. If you didn't take it, well, Cain will give
it to you anyhow, so don't worry about it. The Hellforge is across the
River of Flame, which is in the City of the Dammed, next to the Plains of
Despair. You will meet Hephasto, which is a much tougher Smith that you
have encounter in Act I. Destroy all the creatures, and this is hard, so
be sure to have plenty of town portals. You will get the Hellforge Hammer
when you kill Hephasto. Just equip the Hammer, and then put the Soulstone
on the forge. You will be able to smash the stone and you will be rewarded
with a large number of Gems.
------------------------
Quest III - Terror's End
------------------------
You will have to move around the Chaos Sanctum and find five seals. Break
them, and Diablo will show up. There will be uniques when some of the
seals are broken, so be ready. Diablo has many attacks, and it's a good idea
to have resistance to everything. He is the toughest guy you seen right now,
and rightfully so. If you run, he will Bone Cage you, leaving you wide open
for his spells, so be careful. Bring plenty of Town Portals, and cast them
ahead of time so when you die, you can come back, or you can run into it.
When you kill him, the game is over.
Congratulations!
-----------------
Act ? - Cow Level
-----------------
I almost forgot about this, but after you have beaten the game, start a new
game under Normal, and head to the Rogue Encampment. If you kept Wirt's leg,
put it in the Cube along with a Tome of Town Portal. Transmute, and the
portal will pop up. This is an interesting stage, but keep in mind that this
is very hard, as it's not easy at all. Th Cows are strong, and even stronger
if they swarm you. Take it slowly to make sure not too many of them will be
able to hit you and you will do fine.

There are plenty of monsters in this game and I will just give most of the
information I know about them in here. If there's more that I should know,
please email me. The stats here are not uniques, they will be covered in
another portion.
These are rough estimates, and I will update soon with more information on
how to deal with each one.

Magical Weapon and Armor

There are plenty of magical items in this game, as there are many. They are
blue when you pick it up, and you will need to use an Identify Scroll to
reveal the hidden stats of it. The magical items depends on the prefixes

identical magical items.

Unique Weapons and Armor
------------------------
Unique weapons and armor are not random, but they do appear randomly in
the game. They may have a different graphic, which looks cool. They are
usually worth something, so it's a good idea to pick it up. Their name
is in Gold, which would seperate them from all the other items.
I am currently compiling a list. I will post this up later.
----------------------
Rare Weapons and Armor
----------------------
Rare weapons and armor are even better than just magical items because they
can have more than one magical modifier. They are still generated randomly
in the game, and they are usually what people show off. There are actually
different Suffixes for each different item. They may not have any effect
at all, but they make the weapon or armor unique and look cool.
