Diablo2 is a great game that, although involves a lot of fighting, requires less fighting skill compared to the conventional arcade fighting games. Rather, it is more of knowing your own abilities, comparing them with the opponents', and deciding whether to back out or not from a fight or to ask for help. It's quite complicated, but once you learn to like the basics the rest will simply follow. * note: There still is pretty much unfinished work in this FAQ, but I don't plan to get active in FAQ writing anytime soon so might as well submit this. I also have to finish my SC and BW FAQs and since I'm going through a lotta sched changes right now, maybe next time =p Why read this guide: I. Commands II. Definitions III. Towns IV. The Indoors V.

Click on items and you'll pick them up; click on friends and you'll talk to them; click on enemies and you'll kill them. Right clicking causes you to cast your spell and nothing else. You can, however, make use of the keyboard since the game utilizes hot keys as well. One thing new about Diablo2, however, is the fact that you no longer have to click like hell when attacking a very strong monster; just hold the left mouse button on him and he's done for. One exception would be the shift key. Holding this while attacking will cause your player to refrain from walking while you attack. Normally, your player will move toward the enemy and strike---not so when you hold the shift key. It's very useful if you're using arrows so you won't have to get close before you fire. And new to us Diablo fans is the use of the two auxillary keys: Ctrl and Alt. Holding them yields two results: run and view all onscreen items respectively. The RUN (ctrl) button does have it's limits though: it can be depleted. You'll have to keep an eye on the yellow bar below, since it tells you how much stamina you have left for running. The SHOW ITEMS (alt) button on the other hand works like Hellfire's search spell, and like before, does not include doors, portals, and shrines and the "search", but unlike before, now features a boxed name of the item above that item. You may click the name box instead and pick the item up just the same---cool! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ _ _ ____ ____ ____ _____ _ _ ___ (_ _)(_ _) ( _ \ ( ___)( ___)(_ _)( \( )(_ _)(_ _)(_ _)( _ )( \( )/ __) _)(_ _)(_ )(_) ) )__) )__) _)(_ ) ( _)(_ )( _)(_ )(_)( ) ( \__ \ (____)(____)() (____/ (____)(__) (____)(_)\_)(____) (__) (____)(_____)(_)\_)(___/ 1. Character Classes: a. Paladin - your typical knight in shining armor---only he doesn't have a shining armor yet. You'll have to either fight for it or raise the money to buy it. Good at swords, maces, scepters (yeah, scepters), and other melee as well as semi-magical weapons. b. Barbarian - no, not your typical Conan. This barbarian is a shaman at heart, and unlike the "barbarian" featured in an altered Hellfire, this one gives much room for spellcasting though these spells mostly only increase his barbaric capabilities in combat. Also good at melee weapons, but is more approriate for the heavier ones like the axe or the two-handed swords. c. Amazon - every game that allows you to select from different players must include a female, otherwise its creators will be called sexists. Should have been the exact translation of Diablo1's Rogue, but was given as her specialty a new item, the Javelin. Of course, she is also respectable when it comes to bows and arrows. d. Necromancer - yeah, mah current fav, this type introduces an ability so new it actually alters the gameplay alot: raising the dead. Yeah! That dead will now follow you wherever you go, much like Diablo1's Golem spell. But wait, Necromancers also have Golem spells of their own! Very cool!. On the down side, I can think of only one weapon that suits a Necromancer fine, namely, the (Fairy Godmother's) wand. e. Sorceress - you're dealing with the supernatural, so what else do you expect? A magician, of course! Now there are two females to choose from, and both aren't to be under- estimated since they can do things the other characters can't. She is, of course, best at staves, and as good at that as an Amazon is with her javelins and bows. 2. The "Dashboard": (from left to right) a. Life - the red orb being held by some sort of angelic figure. Placing your mouse pointer above it lets it display in numbers what the red liquid expresses in proportion: the amount of life you have left. b. Attack - tells you what type of attack you are currently prepared to do (eg. melee or throwing). Clicking on it will allow you to change that attack type. c. Experience - the thin white bar; gives you an idea of how far you've go and how far you still are from the next level. Placing the mouse pointer above it will give you a more exact idea. d. Auto-Run - is almost self-explanatory; clicking it will enable you character to skip walking and start running whenever he/she moves. e. Stamina - the thick yellow bar; keeps you informed on how tired your legs are of running, if you deplete it, you can no longer run unless you stop to rest. Then the bar will refill itself. f. Mini-panel - displays what else but a mini-panel that in turn would have the following options: (from left to right) - Character : displays your name, class, level, experience, and other things about your player - Inventory : displays the items you have and where you have put them - Skill Tree : displays the skills that you can do as well as those you can't along with their prerequisites - Auto-map : displays what part of the current level you are in have you already passed through and where you are in the map right now. Allies are also displayed. - Message Log : what else but a log of messages... - Quest Log : displays the quests you have already done, those you need to do, and a faint representation of those you havent encountered yet. - Game Menu : click this if you want to save, quit, configure, and stuff like that 3. Character Stats: The box on the upper-left most contains your name, and your class is next to it. Your level determines how well you will fare against different monsters. Experience is basically the number of points you have gathered via slaughtering numerous demons. A certain number of experience points, stated in the Next Level box, is your goal to raise your level by one. Here's a complete table: _________________________ |_Level_|_Experience____| | 1 | 0 | | 2 | 500 | | 3 | 1,500 | | 4 | 3,750 | | 5 | 7,875 | | 6 | 14,175 | | 7 | 22,680 | | 8 | 32,886 | | 9 | 44,396 | | 10 | 57,715 | | 11 | 72,144 | | 12 | 90,180 | | 13 | 112,725 | | 14 | 140,906 | | 15 | 176,132 | | 16 | 220,165 | | 17 | 275,207 | | 18 | 344,008 | | 19 | 430,010 | | 20 | 537,513 | | 21 | 671,891 | | 22 | 839,864 | | 23 | 1,049,830 | | 24 | 1,312,287 | | 25 | 1,640,359 | | 26 | 2,050,449 | | 27 | 2,563,061 | | 28 | 3,203,826 | | 29 | 3,902,260 | | 30 | 4,663,553 | | 31 | 5,493,363 | | 32 | 6,397,855 | | 33 | 7,383,752 | | 34 | 8,458,379 | | 35 | 9,629,723 | | 36 | 10,906,488 | | 37 | 12,298,162 | | 38 | 13,815,086 | | 39 | 15,468,534 | | 40 | 17,270,791 | | 41 | 19,235,252 | | 42 | 21,376,535 | | 43 | 23,710,491 | | 44 | 26,254,525 | | 45 | 29,027,522 | | 46 | 32,050,088 | | 47 | 35,344,386 | | 48 | 38,935,796 | | 49 | 42,850,109 | | 50 | 47,116,709 | | 51 | 51,767,302 | | 52 | 56,836,449 | | 53 | 62,361,819 | | 54 | 68,384,473 | | 55 | 74,949,165 | | 56 | 82,104,680 | | 57 | 89,904,191 | | 58 | 98,405,658 | | 59 | 107,672,256 | | 60 | 117,772,849 | | 61 | 128,782,495 | | 62 | 140,783,010 | | 63 | 153,863,570 | | 64 | 168,121,381 | | 65 | 183,662,396 | | 66 | 200,602,101 | | 67 | 219,066,380 | | 68 | 239,192,444 | | 69 | 261,129,853 | | 70 | 285,041,630 | | 71 | 311,105,466 | | 72 | 339,515,048 | | 73 | 370,481,492 | | 74 | 404,234,916 | | 75 | 441,026,148 | | 76 | 481,128,591 | | 77 | 524,840,254 | | 78 | 572,485,967 | | 79 | 624,419,793 | | 80 | 681,027,665 | | 81 | 742,730,244 | | 82 | 809,986,056 | | 83 | 883,294,891 | | 84 | 963,201,521 | | 85 | 1,050,299,747 | | 86 | 1,248,718,217 | | 87 | 1,361,512,946 | | 88 | 1,484,459,201 | | 89 | 1,618,470,619 | | 90 | 1,764,543,065 | | 91 | 1,923,762,030 | | 92 | 2,097,310,703 | | 93 | 2,286,478,756 | | 94 | 2,492,671,933 | | 95 | 2,717,422,497 | | 96 | 2,962,400,612 | | 97 | 3,229,426,756 | | 98 | 3,520,485,254 | | 99 | 3,837,739,017 | | | | ------------------------- Everytime your level is raised by one, you gain five stat points which you should distribute wisely among your strength, dexterity, vitality, and energy. Just click on the red button that appears to distribute when possible. | Strength | Dexterity | Vitality | Energy -------------------------------------------------------- * Min Stats: Paladin | 25 | 20 | 25 | 15 Barbarian | 30 | 20 | 25 | 10 Amazon | 20 | 25 | 20 | 15 Necromancer | 15 | 25 | 15 | 25 Sorceress | 10 | 25 | 10 | 35 Ok, on to the other parts. The life box explains in numbers what the red liquid explains in amount---how much more damage can you' take without dying. The same goes with mana, which is the amount of "magic" you can use to pay for a spell's casting cost. Gold and Damage are self-explanatory, while armor class is your chance of evading an enemy's attack and Attack Rating is your chance of landing a hit everytime you attack. The Resist to boxes tell you how much damage from a said form of attack can you be invulnerable to. 4. Belt: The small boxes just right of your "run meter" is your belt. They pretty much work just like your inventory, but they cannot be hidden, cannot hold gold coins, rings, amulets, and everything larger, and can be accessed quickly by pressing the number corresponding to the box whose item you'd like to use. Each box can hold more than just one item depending on the kind of belt you are wearing. 5. Stash: Since Diablo2 no longer saves the exact world (locations and everything) as it is, you no longer have an infinite storage place that goes by the name Tristram. If you drop something and save, that something will be lost forever. But, to compensate (though I beg to disagree), is the so-called Stash. In it you can store those oh-so-cool weapons that your oh-so-weak self can't use yet ;) and those items that serve as reserve for specific situations. It also has gold storage in a separate "room", just like the one you have in your inventory. Oops, forgot to tell ya the limits of them gold keepers, well actually they come in two simple formulae, Max Inventory Gold - Current Level x 10,000 Max Stash Gold - 50,000 (+50,000 every 10 levels) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ____ ____ ____ ____ _____ _ _ _ _ ___ (_ _)(_ _)(_ _) (_ _)( _ )( \/\/ )( \( )/ __) _)(_ _)(_ _)(_ )( )(_)( ) ( ) ( \__ \ (____)(____)(____)() (__) (_____)(__/\__)(_)\_)(___/ This is where you're at whenever you start a new game. There are four in total, and they all correspond to the four acts that comprise the entire game. Each will of course have a unique cast, with Cain the Elder (yeah, the "$100 Indentifier" in Diablo1) as the only constant, and this time he identifies items without asking anything in return (yeah!) There also will be a "traveler" in towns 1 and 2 and of course you'll still see them in towns 2 and 3 respectively since it's them who brought you those towns in the first place. Well anyway, here's a list of the townsfolk in each act: ROGUE ENCAMPMENT (Act 1): Akara: - The equivalent of Adria in Diablo1, this purple-hooded leader of the rogue group called the Sisters of the Sightless Eye will give you not only give you several quests and fully replenish you health and mana whenever you talk to her, but will also trade a number of spell-oriented things like scepters, staves, wands, potions, scrolls, and tomes. Charsi: - Armed with a blacksmith's strength yet surprisingly charming and sweet, this blonde babe is the one to go to whenever your items are not as strudy as they used to and need a little tweaking. And as the blacksmith, she will also be trading your everyday weapons along with bow/crossbow ammo (yes, these babies already NEED ammo in Diablo2) Gheed: - Sells/trades the same type of wares that Charsi does, and although he cannot repair like a blacksmith does, he can do something else, something new to Diablo fans everywhere, something called GAMBLING. It's just like dealing with Wirt in Diablo1, but you don't have to spend 50 bucks just to take a look. Instead you'll be presented a list of unidentified items that are available at very high costs. It's your risk, although sometimes uniques may come out. (hooooweeeee!!!) Kashya: - An arrogant rogue who despises you at first, but will change her mind on you later on. Then she will allow you to get some occasionally much needed help from the best of her bow-wielding warriors. But of course, nothing is free nowadays ;) Warriv - The caravan traveler who'll take you east to Lut Gholein of Act 2 once you've defeated Act 1's major boss, Andariel. Of course, you may also go back to Act 1 through him cause he'll be just there for you at Lut Gholein's starting point. LUT GHOLEIN (Act 2): Atma - Often seen crying to herself, this poor mother will give you Act 2's first quest, and won't be of much help afterwards. Drognan - This a male and orange version of Akara, but without the ability to heal and replenish mana. He will also give you a quest, and is the primary source of spell-oriented things like scepters, staves, wands, potions, scrolls, and tomes. Elzix - An older, wiser, and more serious version of Gheed, this retired warrior will, as Gheed does, sell you blacksmith's items as well as give you a chance to gamble on one of the best (or worst) items in the game! Fara - Probably the most useful of Act 2's townsfolk, this red-haired woman Paladin can not only do everything that Charsi normally does (eg. trades and repairs weapons and armor), but in addition to that heal and replenish your mana everytime you try to talk to her. Geglash - And now I present the most useless being in all of Diablo2. This low-life fat drunkard annoys you the first time you meet him, and will continue to because of his uselessness. He's just like Diablo1's Farnham, but at least the latter can make you laugh somtimes (remember the quote: "YOU DRINK WATER!?" ^_^) Griez: - Yep, the resident mercinary. No need to earn his trust as with Kashya, since for him all that counts is yer cold cash. You can hire from him several spear-wielding warriors. Jerhyn - As Lord of Lut Gholein, it is he who must solve the mysteries that lie within the palace walls, yet like everyone else, he can't He will come to you for help after some time, when you've already gained his trust. Kaelan - A palace guard, so what else do you expect him to do? Of course, keep you out when Jerhyn doesn't want you in, and let you in when his Lord says so. Lysander - His restriction to potions and keys whenever you trade with him makes him inferior to Drognan, who will, as stated, also trade spell-oriented weapons. His easy access location, however, sometimes makes him even more frequently visited than the former. Meshif - The ship captain who'll take you, yet again, east to Kurast of Act 3 once you've defeated Act 2's major boss, Duriel. Of course, you may also go back to Act 2 through him cause he'll be just there for you at the Kurast dock. KURAST DOCKS (Act 3) [my favorite town! got a buttload o' gothic chicks, walking around, carrying buckets of, well,..... whatever! ^_^] Alkor - An old man with an accent that gets pretty funny when he's angry. (I just love the way he says, "DAMMIT") He has Lysander's wares, Gheed's gambling system, and most important of all no one else's stat improving quests. Visit him a lot. It will do you more good than harm. Asheara - Yeah! Many claim that Kurast is no longer a sight to behold, but this babe sure proves otherwise ;) She is the leader of a mercenary band of mages known as the Iron Wolves, and gives out the most useful of employees in all of Diablo2. I always try to weed out those with a "Cold, Fast Cast" ability since it's they who have the ability to totally FREEZE the opponent and do it repeatedly until they ALL DIE!! Hooyaah!! Hralti - Will start out very near your starting point, but will be very far from that the next time you visit the town. He is somewhat secluded as with Alkor, and is your everyday blacksmith who comes with everything that Charsi (as a blacksmith) can offer. Natalya - Seemed as useless as that drunkard Geglash, but upon surfing the net I found out that she actually had the potential to be a spoiler. Notice how she mysteriously disappears after you beat the crap out of Mephisto? Well what she was supposed to say is STILL hidden somewhere in the Diablo2 CD and here it is (SPOILER ALERT!!)... "Word is spreading fast that you killed Mephisto. I'd be honored to fight beside you and help, but I've just received my mission orders. I'll be traveling to the Barbarian lands of the north, but I can't tell you why. With luck, our paths will cross again. Farewell..." Ormus - Another "weird" person in the glorious town of Kurast, this retired "great mage" is now your source of philosophical (not to mention third person) views as well as some scepters, some staves, and some wands. He will also sell some potions, some scrolls, some tomes, and a mask---if he feels like doing so. PANDEMONIUM FORTRESS (Act 4) Halbu - Not much I can say about this guy cause he doesn't have a "Talk" option, nor does he give you any quest at all. He does, however, open his weapons and armor for trade. And he can repair too. Jamella - Compliments Halbu's wares with those that are spell-oriented like scepters, staves, and wands. She also sells some potions, scrolls, and tomes, and even restores 100% of your own health and mana everytime she is clicked. And last but not least, she can offer anyone the pleasure of gambling. Tyrael - None knows what an Archangel is supposed to look like, but if it did look like him, it'd look so very cool. Blizzard's notion of an Archangel having "tentacles" shooting from behind him is just sooo new I find it worthy of attention! He will also give you yer first mission. SPECIAL MENTIONS: Deckard Cain - found in all the Acts (though not right away in Act1), Cain must have something very helpful and applicable in all Acts to convince you to always tag him along. And he does: FREE IDENTIFICATION! In Diablo2 you can no longer use items that are unidentified, and that's why this skill of Cain's is considered...very...helpful. Flavie - A member of the Sisters of the Sightless Eye, this rogue stands in your way towards the Cold Plains (in Act 1) and warns you to retreat until you have finished your first mission. She looks as if she's just another rogue guard like those in town, but really she can be of much help (if you lure your enemies to her) when you're still very weak and can't take out the next batch of monsters on your own. Hadriel - As Flavie is to Act 1, so is Hadriel to Act 4. He is an Archangel who will prevent you from taking up the last mission (Diablo, of course) until you complete the previous mission regarding Mephisto's soulstone.

The only pattern I can think of is that each area "out of town" is either link to the town itself, another out of town, a lower level, two of the above three, or even all of the above.

They look differently on screen, but identical in the auto-map (yes, that grey square thingy) and are simply activated by the almighty left click. Note that not all the "out of town" sections have their respective waypoints. The following are the only ones to look out for: ACT 1 - Rogue Encampment ACT 2 - Lut Gholein Cold Plains Sewers 2 Stony Field Dry Hills Darkwood Halls of the Dead 2 Black Marsh Far Oasis Outer Cloister Lost City Jail 1 Palace Cellar 1 Inner Cloister Arcane Sanctuary Catacombs 2 Canyon of the Magi ACT 3 - Kurast Docks ACT 4 - Pandemonium Fortress Spider Forest City of the Damned Great Marsh River of Flame Flayer Jungle Lower Kurast Kurast Bazaar Upper Kurast Travincal Durance of Hate 2 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _ _ _____ __ __ ____ ___ ____ ___ ( \/ ) ( _ )( )( )( ___)/ __)(_ _)/ __) \ / )(_)( )(__)( )__) \__ \ )( \__ \ \/ () (___/\\(______)(____)(___/ (__) (___/ Quests in Diablo2 are no longer randomized in sets. Instead you are given a total of six quests per act (except for Act 4 which has only three quests) and these six never change. Also, you may not re-take these quests and of course their respective rewards more than thrice (one for normal, one for nightmare, and another for hell difficulty) And lastly, most of the quests now do not just involve one task, rather a series of different ones. Here they are: Oops!!! under construction!!! coming soon!!! hehe =p %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% * for the rest of the item sections I won't be including much strategies because that's what the game is all about---building your OWN strategy and relying on the items of YOUR choice. _ _ ____ ____ __ ___ ____ ___ ____ ____ ____ __ __ ___ ( \/ )(_ _) ( _ \ /__\ / __)(_ _) / __) (_ _)(_ _)( ___)( \/ )/ __) \ / _)(_ ) _ < /(__)\ \__ \ _)(_ ( (__ _)(_ )( )__) ) ( \__ \ \/ (____)() (____/(__)(__)(___/(____) \___) (____) (__) (____)(_/\/\_)(___/ * These are the items whose description is written in plain white text.

The first words apply to all rare items, but the second ones only apply to some or often even just one item type. These descriptions do not in any way affect the abilities of the item, and here they are: first words: ______________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------------- Armageddon Beast Bitter Blood Bone Bramble Brimstone Carrion Chaos Corpse Corruption Cruel Death Demon Dire Dread Doom Eagle Empyrian Entropy Fiend Gale Ghoul Glyph Grim Hailstone Havod Imp Loath Order Pain Plague Raven Rift Rune Shadow Skull Soul Spirit Stone Storm Viper Wraith second words: __________________________________________________________ Amulets: Armors: Axes: Belts: Blades: -------- ------- ----- ------ ------- Beads Carapace Beak Buckle Barb Collar Cloak Bite Chain Bite Gorget Hide Cleaver Clasp Cleaver Heart Jack Edge Cord Edge Necklace Mantle Gnash Fringe Fang Noose Pelt Mangler Harness Gutter Scarab Shroud Reaver Lash Impaler Talisman Suit Rend Lock Needle Torc Warp Scythe Strap Razor Sever Winding Saw Slayer Scalpel Song Scratch Splitter Scythe Sunder Sever Thirst Skewer Spiker Song Stinger Thrust Wand ___________________________________________________________ Blunts: Bows: Gloves: Helms: Rings: ------- ----- ------- ------ ------ Blow Bolt Claw Brow Band Break Branch Clutches Casque Circle Crack Fletch Finger Circlet Coil Crusher Flight Fist Cowl Eye Grinder Horn Grasp Crest Finger Knell Nock Grip Hood Grasp Mallet Quarrel Hand Horn Grip Ram Quill Hold Mask Hold Smasher Song Knuckle Veil Knot Star Stinger Touch Visage Knuckle Thirst Visor Loop Nails Spiral Touch Turn Whorl ______________________________________________ Scepters: Shields: Spears: Staves: --------- -------- ------- ------- Blow Aegis Barb Branch Breaker Badge Branch Call Call Emblem Dart Chant Chant Guard Fang Cry Crack Mark Goad Goad Crusher Rock Gutter Gnarl Cry Shield Impaler Spell Gnarl Tower Lance Spire Grinder Ward Song Knell Wing Weaver Ram Smasher Song Spell Star Weaver * And in case you don't know, rare items get their stats from three randomly-generated "prefix" descriptions and another three randomly- generated "suffix" descriptions, so, in theory, the most damaging rare axe for a Barbarian would give him 150% damage, +150 to Attack Rating, +2 to All Barbarian Skills, +5 Min Damage, +20 Max Damage, and finally a +20 to Strength.....whew! * But not to be outdone are the set items (those written in green) which are somewhat halfway between magical, rare and uniques. They "may" be found more than twice in a single game, but being quite rare, their set of stats are theirs alone. Futhermore, if and only if all the members of the set are equipped, they will give their owner an additional set of bonuses.

(____)(_/\/\_)(___/ * Sadly, I can only put a few items on this section. I'm sure I just forgot the rest, as I am just writing this whole faq (except for the charts) from memory. Please email me on things you think should be included in this section. 1) Potion of Healing Red as blood? Yep, and it will restore all that vitality you've lost in your most recent encounters. This baby is like THE mother of potions and should be an indefinitely available commodity especially during the earlier parts of the game. Healing potions come in all shapes and sizes (and of course prizes) so here's a list from least to greatest: Minor Healing Potion - within the thinnest of bottles Light Healing Potion - in an ok bottle with a metal ring Healing Potion - same as above but with two metal rings Greater Healing Potion - in an even bigger bottle with three metal rings Super Healing Potion - same as above but filled to the brim 2) Potion of Mana And on the blue corner, weighin so and so ounces, the Mana Potion!! There will be times when this little beverage would prove more useful than the red one, but those are limited times, so better have...let's say...a one is to four ratio between this and the healing potion. Of course if you're using a spell caster that ratio can as much as switch values. But anyway, this potion also comes in the same size levels as the Healing Potion, so go figure. Note: Mana potions are no longer for sale anywhere in the Diablo2 world, so better cherish them when you get them. 3) Potion of Rejuvenation This is without a doubt the most important potion for higher level players. The thing is, besides the fact that it restores BOTH your health and mana, it restores thirty PERCENT of it, not some fixed value like the red and blue potions. Thus as your max health goes higher, so does the part of it restored by this red+blue=purple concoction. And if that ain't enough, this dandy piece of a lifesaver restores what it does INSTANTLY, unlike the gradual ways of the other two. Note: There also exists a potion of FULL Rejuvenation, which instantly restores ALL your health and mana---cool!! 4) Antidote, Thawing, and Stamina Potions These are the defensive potions and are used to "cure" your most common Diablo2 related problems. Among them is a black potion, the Antidote, which immediately neutralizes any amount of poison that happens to enter your blood stream. Feeling cold? Then the Thawing potion is for you. Cures colds just as quickly. And finally the Stamina potion, colored white, which cures cramps and sprains or in other words depletion of the run meter. 5) Strangling, Choking, and Rancid Gas Potions And now for the Offensive potions. These mean n' green concoctions, as you might have already guessed, inflict some serious poison damage on the earlier opponents. They tend to become less and less useful during the later stages, so I recommend seeing these only as sources of income (SELL, SELL, SELL!!) The cone shaped bottle contains the Strangling Gas Potion, the cylindrical one holds the Choking Gas, and the spherical safekeeps the Rancid. 6) Fulminating, Exploding, and Oil Potions Our second batch of offensive solutions include these yellow-orange liquids. They inflict fire damage, and like their green counterparts, are only a bit useful early in the game. They really wouldn't be that much help against the bosses, and their main purpose is to just build your cash meter up =p You can use them to stall a crowd that comes at you when you're pathetically out of arrows or equiped with a broken blade, but that's about it. 7) Scrolls of Identify and Town Portal Unlike the first installment of this game, there will only be two types of scrolls can be readily available during the game. One would be the Scroll of Identify, which would prove quite useless after Cain the Elder's mission (*note: Identify enables you to use a newly found magic, set, rare, or unique item), and the Scroll of Town Portal, which is a lot more invaluable. The Town Portal spell enables you to get to the town from virtually anywhere in the game. This proves most useful in tough times when retreat is more than necessary. Note: There also exists a Tome of Identify/Town Portal, which, again unlike in Diablo1, do no more than store their respective scrolls, and up to twenty of them. 8) Keys Well, they open locked chests, what else? There are no such things as locked doors in the Diablo2 realm, so these keys won't be used for that purpose. Instead they open things that contain riches ranging from gold in the thousands to items found nowhere else to...well... dust particles =p Yes, there are empty chests in this game, but keys don't cost much so better take the risk than be sorry without even knowing you are. 9) Gems Ever see one of those "Socketed" Weapons with two to three holes in them? Well it's these gems that you "socket" into those items. And depending on what type and quality (Chipped/Flawed/Normal/Flawless/ Perfect) of gem you insert as well as what type of item it is inserted on, your item will get an additional stat bonus. Inserting different types of gems will yield a versatile item, while inserting those of the same type would allow you to create a weapon more powerful in a certain area. Here's a little chart on each gem and the stat they boost. When inserted on a Type of Gem | Helm | Shield | Weapon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | Amethyst | Strength | Defense | Attack Rating Diamond | Attack Rating | All Resistances | Damage to Undead Emerald | Dexterity | Poison Resist | Poison Damage Ruby | Max HP | Fire Resist | Fire Damage Sapphire | Max Mana | Cold Resist | Cold Damage Topaz | Chance to Find| Lightning Resist| Lightning Damage | Magic Item | | | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * This of course is not a gem, but is considered such in Diablo2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Skull | Life and Mana | Damage Taken by | Life and Mana | Regeneration | Attacker | Steal | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _ _ ___ ____ ____ __ __ ___ ( \/ ) / __)( _ \( ___)( ) ( ) / __) ) ( \__ \ )___/ )__) )(__ )(__ \__ \ (_/\_)() (___/(__) (____)(____)(____)(___/ * Spells, or Skills as they are now commonly known, are no longer universal as in Diablo1. Each character class now has a unique set of skills that best suits his/her area of expertise. Spells in Diablo2 are also no longer learned through books and cast through scrolls ('cept for the Identify and Town Portal), but are leveled up as your character levels up. Each time your characters increases in level, you are given one skill point to pour on a skill of your choice. Each skill has a limit of twenty skill points, so you can't just abuse a single ability. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % % PALADIN SKILLS % % % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% OFFENSIVE AURAS --------------- 1) Might - %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _ _ ____ ___ _ _ ____ ____ _ _ ____ ___ ( \/ )(_ _) / __)( )_( )( _ \(_ _)( \( )( ___)/ __) ) ( _)(_ \__ \ ) _ ( ) / _)(_ ) ( )__) \__ \ (_/\_)(____)() (___/(_) (_)(_)\_)(____)(_)\_)(____)(___/ * These areas of worship come your way throughout the whole game.

(copied from the Diablo2.com site) Aura Enchanted - Much like the paladin, this monster has an aura that affects it and any other monsters within a certain radius. Here are the possible auras: Might, Holy Fire, Thorns, Holy Freeze, Holy Shock, Conviction, and Fanaticism. Kill the main unique first in order to get rid of the aura. Cold Enchanted - Attacks are imbued with a cold effect that does extra damage and can chill your character, slowing you considerably. Upon death, the monster explodes in a frost nova that does a lot of damage and also chills. Be careful that you aren't at low life when you kill one of these critters. Also has 75% cold resist and a double chance to hit. Cursed - 50% chance of performing the Amplify Damage curse on you each time the monster hits. The curse is performed at the monster's level divided by 4, so there can be quite a large radius and duration. Extra Fast - Both the monster and its pack of minions move more quickly. Additionally, the main unique attacks twice as quickly. Extra Strong - The unique deals 3x as much minimum and maximum damage and has +25% to hit. Fire Enchanted - Adds fire damage to the monster's attacks and makes it explode in a damaging shower of flesh and blood upon it's death. Also gives 75% fire resist and a double chance to hit. Lightning Enchanted - This is without a doubt the deadliest monster skill. These monsters have extra lightning damage added to their attacks and also emit a shower of deadly charged bolts each time they are struck. The bolts radiate out in many directions and are difficult to avoid. They are also quite damaging. On top of this, the monsters have a double chance to hit and 75% lightning resist. Magic Resistant - Resist all 75%. This is mainly a problem for the sorceress. Mana Burn - Can drain up to four times its normal damage in mana each hit. Also has double the normal chance to hit and Magic Resist 75%. This can be a big problem for the heavily mana using characters since they tend to have low defense and get hit a lot anyway. Hit these guys from range unless you are a melee fighter. Multiple Shot - The monster fires 3 or 5 of whatever projectile it normally uses. This could be arrows, fireballs or anything else. Spectral Hit - Randomly adds an element (cold, fire, lightning, poison) to each attack. Also has 20% fire, lightning, and cold resist, and double the regular chance to hit. Stone Skin - Increases the monsters damage resist by 80% and multiplies its AC by 3. These guys take a long time to go down. Teleport - If the monster has less than a third health or it is a ranged monster and someone is close by, it will teleport. If its life is below a third, 25% of its max life will be added back. These guys are really annoying. You need to hit them with a strong barrage to stun them and finish them off. Thieving - Monster steals potions out of the belt. * So the next time you see a Bone Spirit caster on Multiple Shot or a Stone Skinned Life Stealer with Teleport, run..... =P %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _ _ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ___ __ _ _ ____ ( \/ )(_ _)(_ _)(_ _) (_ _)(_ _)( _ \/ __) /__\ ( \( )( _ \ ) ( _)(_ _)(_ _)(_ )( _)(_ )___/\__ \ /(__)\ ) ( )(_) ) (_/\_)(____)(____)(____)() (__) (____)(__) (___/ (__)(__)(_)\_)(____/ ____ ____ ____ ___ _ _ ___ (_ _)( _ \(_ _) / __)( )/ )/ __) )( ) / _)(_ ( (__ ) ( \__ \ (__) (_)\_)(____) \___)(_)\_)(___/ THE NAME SAYS IT ALL---A FEW FACTS, VIEWS, AND ADVICES FOR BETTER PLAYING: I. MAP REVEALER -> "THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD" Diablo2 is a game that requires quite a lot of finding the right things on th right places. And most of the time you spend not fighting is spent in finding that darn cave or that darn underground...anything. These places are randomly generated everytime you start a new game from scratch, so seems that random luck with some random wandering is the best and only way to find your destinations, right? WRONG!! Or at lease in Act 1 it's wrong. You see, in Act 1, there is such a thing as a "Yellow Brick Road" or a path easily identified because it is bare (without grass unlike most parts of the map). Following this path all the time will lead you to one of four things: a large pack of goblins, a shrine, an entrance to a cave, building, passage, etc, or an exit to the next section of the entire Act 1 map. So don't lose track and I'm sure you'll complete those missions in record time. II. LOADING - "THE WAY OF THE BARBARIC COMPUTER SCIENTIST" Blizzard tried to make the game a little more "fair" and "challenging" by eliminating the Load option in the Esc menu. They also linked their save function with their exit function, so as, theoretically, to save the effects of every single thing you do while playing the game. Now while this new interface can be advantageous at times, the potential frustration it can bring about outweighs its usefulness. Picture this: You drop all your items on the ground to fix your inventory, and suddenly the game crashes or you accidentaly hit "Save and Exit". That's right, you go bonkers. But all's not lost yet---IF you knew about the rather barbaric way of re-loading a previously saved game. Here's how: When you save the game once, Diablo stores all your info in a folder called "save", in separate files all named after your character. It's this folder (or those files that are yours) that you may back up in another part of your hard drive or in a handy diskette and update as often as possible. Now anytime you feel like the way you were in your previous game was a lot better than your present condition, just quit and copy your back-up files in the save folder. III. BAD@$$ BOSSES -> "THE NEWBIE'S ECONOMY" Let's face it, going through the game the first time won't really allow anyone to get pass the bosses without at least suffering a small scratch that, for lower level players, could prove fatal. Most of you would just think, "Hey, I'll just rack up on Health Potions and get it over with!" Sure, that may work most of the time, but besides the fact that it sometimes won't, it just costs too damn much. Now what I do is rack up on TOWN PORTALS (scrolls and/or tomes) and cast Town Portal just before I fight the boss. Then when I do and consequently die, I'll end up in the town, all naked, but with a portal nearby that leads to the boss's lair. Then I enter, cast another Town Portal, loot my own corpse, and start a rematch with the monster. Doing this over and over, I'll finally get the upper hand and eventually defeat the boss---WITHOUT using a single potion of health! Of course, this only works on Normal Difficulty, since dying costs way too much experience points in the higher levels. IV. ELECTRIC MONSTERS - "THE CHARGED BOLT THEORY" The most annoying characteristics a monster could have is the ability to unconsciously pack a whallop at the slightest hint of pain, and the ability to just kill anyone who dare deliver the final blow. Well the electric monsters (the most common example being the beetle) have both these abilities, and for that reason alone should they be feared. They blast of a handful of charged bolts whenever attacked, and blast a whole lot more when finally killed. Engaging in melee combat seems out of the question, but wouldn't you agree they'd die fast if they couldn't damage you with their shards of electricity? Well there is a way! Electric monsters shoot out bursts of charged bolts in a lot---but not all---directions. Therefore, each electric monster has some sort of "blind spot" with regards to its electricity burst. And it's this blind spot that you have to find and attack from. If you happen to still have the same amount of life after you strike the abomination, then you have found the right angle of attack. Just continue slashing and I guarantee you quick death of your electrifying foes. Trapping them in corners before looking for that perfect spot to attack is an even better strategy. V. CHOOSING FLIGHT OVER FIGHT -> "THE UNORTHODOX EXODUS" So what do you do when a pack o' beats start overwhelming your little brittle body? For this question I'd probably get the unanimous reply: "Run my @$$ off, what else?" And while that is a very sound thing to do (in the absence of Town Portal Scrolls and any helpful potions), it is not the most efficient considering the fact that your stamina will eventually get all burned out, and you'll die anyway. The correct answer is (believe it or not) to WALK. Yes, to walk. You should only run for immediate distance from the pack's center, and when an overwhelming number of projectile attacks are being directed on your poor soul. Otherwise, walking is the key. Why? Because these dumb monsters only mimic your general speed, thus will only truly catch up on you when you're not moving at all. Run and they will run after you. Walk and they will escort you to your destination. Start running again only when you see another pack coming from another direction, but once you see the two packs become one, resume walking your @$$ off. VI. HODRADRIC CUBE - "THE TRUE POWER OF MODERN ALCHEMY" As our good friend Cain the Elder said himself, the Horadric Cube is not only for restoring the Horadric Staff, but also for a great big deal of "Transmutations". If you play your cards right and insert' the right combination of items in the cube and hit transmute, you will get something new, something that may not be of the same value, but at the time being could be just what you're looking for. Below are some of the cube's common formulae: 1 Axe + 2 Daggers = 1 Throwing Axe 1 Spear + 1 Quiver of Arrows = 1 Stack of Javelins 2 Quivers of Arrows = 1 Quiver of Bolts 2 Quivers of Bolts = 1 Quiver of Arrows 3 Amulets = 1 Ring 3 Rings = 1 Amulet 3 Health Potions + 3 Mana Potions = 1 Potion of Rejuvenation 3 Health Potions + 3 Mana Potions + 1 Gem = 1 Potion of Full Rejuvenation 3 Non-perfect Gems (same type and quality) = 1 Gem of Higher Quality 3 Perfect Gems + 1 Magic Item = 1 Magic Item of Same Type 4 Antidote Potions + 1 Emerald + 1 Ring = 1 Viridian Ring 4 Exploding Potions + 1 Ruby + 1 Ring = 1 Garnet Ring 4 Thawing Potions + 1 Sapphire + 1 Ring = 1 Cobalt Ring 6 Gems + 1 Sword = 1 Socketed Long Sword VIII. SECRET STAGE -> "THE MOO MOO FARM" At last, a rather easier way to get to the famed "Cow Level". I must admit that Diablo1's Cow Level is still an unconfirmed rumor for me, so anyone who could shed some light on this issue, by all means please drop me a line. Anyway, here in Diablo2 the Cow Level can be accessed after you have defeated Diablo himself, and have chosen to re-enter that same difficulty where you have defeated the Lord of Terror. Use the Pandemonium Fortress's Waypoint to get yourself to Act 1, in the Rogue Encampment. Now pick a nice good spot (actually anywhere in town would do) and transmute (yes, using the Hodradric Cube) a Tome of Town Portal along with Wirt's Leg. And you thought that leg was rather useless, didn't you? Ok, time to re-visit Tristram boy!! Go and re-loot the dead merchant's body! Got it now? Good. Once transmuted, a red portal will appear. Step through it (of course) and poof! You're there! At long last!! The Cow Level!! But wait.....OMGWTF?!?! Cows standing on two feet with polearms are coming from all directions!! Run, baby, run!! =D Ok, ye want some Moo Moo strategies? Here's some: 1) NEVER NEVER EVER EVER die anywhere near the portal back to town. Why? You'll usually die by the swarm and end up in the town again, right? Well that means the red portal would be swarming with muscle-bound cows (and believe me, they ARE strong) that'd kill you the moment you re-enter from the town all naked. So now how do you get your precious corpse (and items) back? Get the point? 2) Keep moving. These cows may be a little slow, but their numbers can enable them to get all over you in seconds. There really is no problem if you're using projectile attacks, but if you're playing melee, then the more you have to keep yourself on the go. Keep an eye out for cows straying from the crowd cause it's these cows that you start bashing first. 3) Abuse your God given talents. Each character class has a skill that is most effective on cow land. The Paladin has both has offensive and defensive auras to thank, though experience has hand-picked "Thorns" as the number one aura to use against these cows. Holy Freeze also helps in stalling when needed, but otherwise Thorns is where it's at. The Barbarian has his Whirlwind, which in itself can like, shave the farm free of cows ;) Also recommended is the use of Leap Attacks for escaping. The Amazon has her Strafe and her Multiple Shot for those that concentrated on her Bow and Arrow skills, and her Lightning Fury as well as her Lighting Strike for those that poured some serious skill points on the Spear and Javelin side. For the Necromancer, two words: CORPSE EXPLOSION. This spell is without a doubt the best and cheapest to use against your beloved mammals. Corpse explosion doesn't care how strong the opponent is, and works best against large groups of the same type of creature. It was MADE for the cow level! And lastly for the Sorceress, Fire Skills seem to do the job best, as in the case of Fire Walls and Hydras, but if you just didn't happen to believe in them, then I guess a Frozen Orb or even at least a Chain Lightning would do. 4) Make sure you find and defeat the Cow King before you decide to call it a day. The red portal won't come back when you reload the game, so bye-bye neat items for you if you quit without even checking the cow boss out yourself. There also is another unique cow there, and he yields some pretty dandy stuff too. Come to think of it, just clear the entire area! It's not that big really, and all it takes is a little patience. And as a final note, don't expect an easy level up in these areas, cause them cows are really.....really.....low in giving out experience points. IX. MOST IMPORTANT TIP OF ALL: If you ever come across a ring that gives +2 to all Necromancer's Skills, SEND IT TO ME! I guarantee you WON'T be disappointed ^_^ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _ _ ____ _ _ ____ _ _ ____ ____ _ _ ___ ( \/ )(_ _)( \/ ) ( ___)( \( )( _ \ (_ _)( \( ) / __) ) ( _)(_ \ / )__) ) ( )(_) ) _)(_ ) ( ( (_-.

Anyway, there is a total of five FMVs distrubuted throughout the game, and there is no better way to narrate the ending than to include everything else. Here goes: Old man: \ > yep, ye guessed it, coming soon! =p Stranger: / .....and so after all your work there is but a lame consolation: rank promotion. As a male character you would be granted the title, "Sir", followed by "Lord" and "Baron" as finish the higher difficulties in the non-hardcore mode. Otherwise your titles would be, "Count", "Duke", and then "King". As a female on the other hand, you would get the titles, "Dame", "Lady", and "Baroness" in the non-hardcore mode and "Countess", "Duchess", and "Queen" otherwise. *note: for those who didn't know, Hardcore mode is where one death means the end of your save file. No re-loading from where you were last seen alive. You're dead.....forever. Pick this mode only for the thrill of it. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _ _ _ _ ___ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ___ ( \/ )( \/ ) / __)( _ \( ___)( _ \ (_ _)(_ _)/ __) ) ( \ / ( (__ ) / )__) )(_) ) _)(_ )( \__ \ (_/\_) \/ () \___)(_)\_)(____)(____/ (____) (__) (___/ Miguel Morales(Iomanech@hotmail.com) for his Unique Items FAQ Larry Mak(MakAtak@bigfoot.com) for his Diablo2 Bible *both the above's FAQs are also found on Gamefaqs.com, and they don't fill these FAQs with nothing but loose charts ;) so check them out* THE sites (Battle.net & Diablo2.com) for tons of info To whoever you are who will, in the future, send me a file containing a ring that gives +2 to all Necromancer Skills ^_^ Gamefaqs.com for paying attention to this faq Blizzard and all its affiliates for creating such a great game %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _ _ _ _ ____ ____ ____ _ _ ____ ___ ____ _____ _ _ ( \/ )( \/ )(_ _) ( _ \( ___)( \/ )(_ _)/ __)(_ _)( _ )( \( ) ) ( \ / _)(_ ) / )__) \ / _)(_ \__ \ _)(_ )(_)( ) ( (_/\_) \/ (____)() (_)\_)(____) \/ (____)(___/(____)(_____)(_)\_) _ _ ____ ___ ____ _____ ____ _ _ ( )_( )(_ _)/ __)(_ _)( _ )( _ \( \/ ) ) _ ( _)(_ \__ \ )( )(_)( ) / \ / (_) (_)(____)(___/ (__) (_____)(_)\_) (__) none yet. suggestions, anyone? %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% _ _ _ _ ____ ____ ____ ____ _ _ __ __ ( \/ )( \/ )(_ _)(_ _) ( ___)(_ _)( \( ) /__\ ( ) ) ( \ / _)(_ _)(_ )__) _)(_ ) ( /(__)\ )(__ (_/\_) \/ (____)(____)() (__) (____)(_)\_)(__)(__)(____) _ _ _____ ____ ____ ___ ( \/\/ )( _ )( _ \( _ \ / __) ) ( )(_)( ) / )(_) )\__ \ (__/\__)(_____)(_)\_)(____/ (___/ Please feel free to email me if there's something about Diablo2 I left out (I'm sure there will be as this faq barely tries to tell everything about such a big, big game) or if you just want to comment on my work.
