Start doing at 20-12-2000 *NOTE:If there aren't any major mistakes or changes, I don't think that I will update it. --------- SOME WORD --------- So, you choose Necromancer, right? Good choice, in fact, Necromancer is a Battle.net favourite! But, be warned, using Necromancer isn't as easy as you think.(Probably his minions won't do a lot when battling with bosses, unless you pump heck lot of points into them.) And remember a word, choose a tree and stick to it, and don't evenly separate them, OK? It's true... About Necromancer's history, I don't quite like putting them out here, if you really have interest on it, you may find all these stuff on Blizzard.com. Finally, to the main points... -------------- PLANS AND FOCUS -------------- Everyone hopes to train a powerful Necro. This section is made by my own idea and I hope it can help you. Equipments: I personally think that equipments that can add to skills are the best, I mean those that add 1 or 2 to all skills levels. You'll probably won't find some of them or even 1 item at the normal difficulty, but if you continue to Nightmare and Hell, or by killing the Cow King again and again(version 1.00 only), I'm sure you can get all of them. By the way, you should find some thing that can replenish your HP. These are the equipments that I think you should find: 1. Summoner's Amulet Of The Sentinel(+1 to Necro's skills) 2. Necromancer's Amulet(+2 to Necro's skills) 3. Silks Of The Victor Ancient Armor(+1 to all skills) 4. Goldwarp Heavy Belt(very high defense) 5. Wormskull Bone Helm(+1 to Necro's skills) 6. Stone Of Jordan(+1 to all skills) 7. Ume's Lament Grim Wand(+2 to Necro's skills) 8. Frostburn Gauntlets(Best gauntlets) 9. The Ward Gothic Shield(High chance of blocking and defense) 10.Tearhaunch Greaves(Good attributes) These are the attributes of those stuff: Summoner's Amulet Of The Sentinel- Required Level 22 +1 To Necro's Skills Magic Damage Reduced By 2 Necromancer's Amulet- Required Level 67(Ah!) +2 To Necro's Skills Silks Of The Victor Ancient Armor- Defense 230 Required Strength 100 +1 To All Skills 5% Mana Stolen Per Hit +2 To Light Radius Goldwarp Heavy Belt- Defense 46 Required Strength 45 +40 defense +2 To Light Radius Slightly Increased Attack Speed 30% Better Chance Of Getting Magic Item Wormskull Bone Helm- Defense 34 Required Strength 25 +1 To Necro's Skills 5% Life Stolen Per Hit Poison Resist 25% +10 To Mana Stone Of Jordan- +1 To All Skills Increase Maximum Mana 25%(Very Good!)

Then pump as many points as you can into Mana, and forget about Strength and Dexterity, cuz you can find tons of items that adds to Strength and Dexterity later, put a little points into Vitality too, cuz that is not very important for a Necro. Generals: Find Healing Potions and Mana Potions and put it in your back pack, don't think that being a Spell Caster doesn't need to drink Healing Potions, cuz sometimes you'll need to fight with your minions. ------------------ NECROMANCER SKILLS ------------------ I spend most of my points into Poison And Bone Spells tree. I only put three points into the Curses part, cuz I think it's not very useful. It's your choice whether you wanna specialize on which tree, but I tell you, I gain victory not very hard, and seldom, ya, SELDOM(I think I die for 2,3 times...) die. a)Summoning Spells This tree allows you to summon minions to help you, they are Golems, Skeleton Warriors, Mages and perhaps the monster itself. I think this tree is quite powerful, but I like Poison and Bone Spells better. CLAY GOLEM(6) RAISE SKELETON(1) ___________|__________ _________|________ | | | | GOLEM BLOOD SKELETON RAISE MASTERY(12) GOLEM(18) MASTERY(1) SKELETAL MAGE(12) | | | SUMMON IRON | RESIST(24) GOLEM(24)------------------------->REVIVE(30) | FIRE GOLEM(30) -RAISE SKELETON- Requirements :Level 1(Duh!) Description :Summon skeletons to help you, as the name has suggested. Advantages :Use very little mana to summon, and pumping points to it allows you to raise more skeletons, sometimes you need them to attract monsters while you are escaping! Disadvantages:Super low HP and damage. And they are quite stupid too, can stuck you in tight corridors. You won't need them after Act 1 Normal! Comments :Put a point and forget about it, save your points for Golems or other spells you like. But remember, the reason I put a point here is just for the mages and revive, because they are not bad.

Advantages :Hey, your skeletons and revived creatures are tougher, so you are more powerful! Disadvantages:It doesn't add lots of damage and HP to your skeletons. Comments :Mmmnnn, I think should save points for Golems, but a few points for it won't harm though.

Advantages :Very tough(until the Act 2 Normal). It is your main power for some times. And, you don't need a corpse to do so. Disadvantages:You can summon ONLY ONE Golem of any type, at a time. It doesn't a large brain too, I think. Comments :I love this guy, until I get Blood Golem. Put some points are good, but don't overdo it, cuz you will not use it after you get Blood Golem.

Advantages :It's a passive skills and need no mana. And it can make your Golems harder to kill! Plus, it affect all types of Golems Disadvantages:It doesn't increase the damage cause by Golem, making this skill not as useful as it sounds. Comments :I don't quite like this spell, though I put a few points here. I recommend save those points for Golem itself. Grade :B+ LEVEL LIFE WALK/RUN SPEED 1 +20% +6% 2 +40% +10% 3 +60% +14% 4 +80% +17% 5 +100% +20% 6 +120% +22% 7 +140% +23% 8 +160% +24% 9 +180% +26% 10 +200% +27% 11 +220% +28% 12 +240% +29% 13 +260% +30% 14 +280% +30% 15 +300% +31% 16 +320% +32% 17 +340% +32% 18 +360% +32% 19 +380% +33% 20 +400% +33% -RAISE SKELETAL MAGE- Requirements :Level 12, Raise Skeleton Description :Summon range attack skeletons(And of course, that fight for you!) Advantages :A lot better than Skeletons, since they don't toe-to-toe attack like skeletons, you will find out that they can survive quite a period of time. And it doesn't need a lot of mana. Disadvantages:Again, their brain aren't well developed. Still, they don't have a lot of HP, which is a bad idea when they are surrounded by monsters. I notice that skeletal mages are quite slow too, cuz they usually can't catch me up when having a long run. Comments :I quite like skeletal mages, not bad to dump a few points into it in order to increase the quantity of them. There are four types of skeletal mages, include Poison (which I dislike the most!), Fire, Lightning and Ice/Cold (I like this flavour the most, cuz they can freeze the enemies and slow them down!) Grade :B LEVEL QUANTITY MANA COST 1 1 8 2 2 9 3 3 10 4 4 11 5 5 12 6 6 13 7 7 14 8 8 15 9 9 16 10 10 17 11 11 18 12 12 19 13 13 20 14 14 21 15 15 22 16 16 23 17 17 24 18 18 25 19 19 26 20 20 27 -BLOOD GOLEM- Requirements :Level 18, Clay Golem Description :Creates a Golem that links to your health. Advantages :Very very hard to kill if combine with Iron Maiden. You will get healed when Blood Golem hits enemies. It also heals itself by this. Disadvantages:Same as Clay Golem, his IQ isn't very high, and only one type of Golem can be summoned at one time. You lose a little health when Blood Golem is hit. Putting points into it won't increase its HP, so if you want a high HP Blood Golem, you have to waste some points into Golem Mastery. Comments :I love this Golem! Combine with Iron Maiden, he is really unstoppable, he can heal you! But after you get the most powerful Golem of all types(I think), which is Fire Golem , you will probably ignore it...

Advantages :OK, your summoned monster live longer and harder to kill from elemental attacks, making you tougher!(Duh!). It's a passive skill, so you don't need to spent a single mana on it! All summoned monsters get affected, doesn't need to spent each points to each Mastery. Disadvantages:It won't affect your resistance! Only your summoned monsters gain it! Damned! Comments :Well, as you can see, it won't affect your resistance, but putting a few points isn't a bad idea, cuz it affects all the summoned monster. Grade :B LEVEL ALL RESISTANCE 1 28% 2 34% 3 39% 4 44% 5 47% 6 50% 7 52% 8 54% 9 56% 10 57% 11 59% 12 60% 13 61% 14 62% 15 62% 16 64% 17 64% 18 65% 19 65% 20 66% -IRON GOLEM- Requirements :Level 24, Blood Golem Description :Summons a Golem made of metal from anything that is made of iron. Advantages :Has quite high HP. It has the attributes of the sacrificed weapon or armor. It has thorns that worked like Irom Maiden curse at level 2. Improvement won't raise the mana you need to summon. Disadvantages:Improvement won't raise its damage, HP and defense.(this Golem has the attributes of the sacrificed armor or weapon , however, if you summon him from a normal metal thing, he is a normal Iron Golem, but will you sacrificed very very good armors or weapons? Sure not!) His thorns improve very slow! Quite dumb, you can be stucked by him in tight corridors. Unlike other Golems, Iron Golem can't be summoned anywhere.(Cuz you need a metal thing to do so!) Only a Golem can't be summoned at a time! Comments :I don't like this dirty little Golem, Blood Golem is better, but I think you should put a point to it in order to learn powerful Fire Golems. Grade :B- LEVEL THORNS DAMAGE 1 0% 2 150% 3 165% 4 180% 5 195% 6 210% 7 225% 8 240% 9 255% 10 270% 11 285% 12 300% 13 315% 14 330% 15 345% 16 360% 17 375% 18 390% 19 405% 20 420% -FIRE GOLEM- Requirements :Level 30, Iron Golem Description :Creates a Golem of Fire Advantages :You don't need FIRE to summon this FIRE Golem! It has lots lots of HP. Absorbs fire damage to his life.(useful when facing all those damned blood Lords) Has fire aura that can damage enemies. When he dies, he will explode! Only this Golem can. Disadvantages:If you put a point more into this Golem, it will increase 10 mana! So, before putting points to it, please look at the blue globe at your lower right. He is the last in the class too... Comments :If you pump your mana a lot, mana cost probably won't be a problem. In short, I love this Golem very very very very much!!!!!!!!! Grade :A+++ LEVEL FIRE ABSORBS PERCENTAGE MANA COST DAMAGE FIRE DAMAGE 1 10-27 36 50 2 12-33 45 60 3 15-40 52 70 4 17-47 58 80 5 20-54 62 90 6 22-60 66 100 7 25-67 69 110 8 27-74 71 120 9 30-81 74 130 10 32-87 76 140 11 35-94 78 150 12 37-101 79 160 13 40-108 81 170 14 42-114 82 180 15 45-121 83 190 16 47-128 85 200 17 50-135 85 210 18 52-141 86 220 19 55-148 87 230 20 57-155 88 240 -REVIVE- Requirements :Level 30, Raise Skeletal Mage, Iron Golem Description :Revive a dead monster Advantages :It even has a higher HP than the original ones! Putting points will increase the quntity you can summon at a time. Disadvantages:Your revived creature can only survive 3 minutes! Putting points won't raise the time limits! Not all dead monsters can be revived, they are champions, unique, super unique, and bosses. High mana cost. Revived monsters are even more brainless than Golems and Skeletons!! Comments :You will think Revive is not very useful at first, but if you continue to Nightmare and Hell(like me), you will find that this skill is the best! Cuz you will slowly notice your Fire Golem is dying more quickly and more, and your main minions and your main strength will go to the reveived monsters, pump it more if you plan to go on!

You will need to use this spell again and again, best when the enemies stick together.

BONE SPIRIT? ------------------------ Well, well, well. This section is made just to help you to decide. You should know Bone Spear and Bone Spirit, right? And you wanna choose one of them, right? Can't decide? Then read this section. Bone Spear: Pros- 1.Faster 2.Can pass through enemies 3.Cheaper mana cost Cons- 1.Can't hunt down enemies 2.Need to spent more points to make it more powerful(cuz it increase 6) 3.Less Damage Bone Spirit: Pros- 1.Can hunt down enemies 2.More Damage 3.Don't need to spend more points to make it more powerful(cuz it increase 12) Cons- 1.Can't pass through enemies 2.Slower 3.Higher mana cost I personally think that Bone Spirit is better, cuz it can hunt enemies down a, does a lot more damage. But Bone Spear is not bad though, it's up to you. ----------- WALKTHROUGH ----------- Walkthrough, just a guide for finishing the game. When I play this game, I work quite hard to level up myself, I know, sometimes you will feel boring, but if you get a powerful Bone Spirit by the time you get to Diablo, you are going to beat him easily! I was level 34 when I face the Lord Of Terror. Remember, work hard!

I think don't go to Den Of Evil first, instead, wander around Blood Moor and even Cold Plains if you like, and kill all the baddies there to gain some experience. It is best when you reach about Level 8, so you can have your toughie Golem to handle them. QUEST II :Sisters' Burial Ground Available:Talk to Kasha after you have completed Quest I Mission :Kill Blood Raven, the corrupted Rogue Reward :1 Free Rogue, and you can hire Rogues after this quest Note :MMnnnn.... Blood Raven, your first boss. Actually, Blood Raven is too weak to consider to be a boss(If you level yourself up hard!) So, there is nothing to fear!

Pass Stony Field and go through The Underground Passage, where leads to Dark Wood.(I suggest don't sneak away but finish all those monsters on the way.) When you are near the tree, you can see a big tree symbol appears on your map, so don't worry missing that tree. Click the tree and a scroll will be dropped, take the scroll back to Akara. Akara will translate the meaning of that scroll so that you know how to open the portal that leads to Tristram. Next, go to Stony Field and activate the portal.

You can find tons of gold there. The Countess is located at level 5. Remember, kill all the baddies before tackling The Countess, cuz it is much more easier to beat her.

Hephasto is located quite near the waypoint at River Of Flames. So you can heal yourself when you get hurt. But Hephasto is quite cheap, read Bosses Guide to see how cheapy he is(Armorer?

Three of the seals will pop some baddies out, including some Uniques, they are Infector Of Souls(Venom Lord Unique), Lord De Seis (Oblivion Knight Unique), Grand Vizier Of Chaos(Storm Caster Unique). These uniques are covered by lots of minions, which.. is a good thing! Just cast one or two powerful Bone Spirit and let Corpse Explosion finish them all! Sometimes the Unique is left alone, and sometimes, they... even die with their minions ! Hahahaha! Cheap! Finally, you'll notice there is an earthquake, Lord Of Terror -Diablo(II) appears! To see the techniques I use to beat this Lord Of Terror, read the Bosses Guide!(I recommend at least level up yourself til 34 to have an easier fight!) After some struggle and tackle, he'll fall.

BOSSES GUIDE ------------ Frustrating about beating bosses? Read this section to know the techniques I use to beat them! Actually, these bosses are Super Uniques, but I think they look a little tougher and sound like a boss, so I list them here. I tell you, there're still some Super Uniques out there, so be careful. To know all the Super Uniques, refer to Beasts Section. Act 1- 1.Blood Raven: She will be your first boss, and I think she is easy! Before you enter Burial Grounds, summon a Golem and some Skeleton Warriors, cuz you need them to entertain her minions! Then, you have 2 ways: The first way is to finsh all her minions before tackling her. The second way is to let your minions tackle with her minions while you go to finish Blood Raven. I prefer the second way to the first, it's up to you. After you notice Blood Raven, try your best to lure her to a tree(which is in the centre on the platform), cuz if you do, you can just slash her with your melee weapon while her bow attacks hit the tree! If you can't, there isn't very hard to beat her though. Evade all her attcks(should not be a problem) and hit her with your weapon and step back to dodge again! Repeat this process until she falls!(You may get a scratch or two if using this method, but with your healing potions around, you will not easily die.) 2.The Countess Finish all her minions first, then go to face her. She won't have a lot of HP, so hire a rogue that fires Ice Arrows and get some Mages that have Cold power too, then dodge all her fire wall and let your minions finish her.(Golem to tackle her while your rogue and mage slow her down) After sometime, she'll be a goner!) 3.The Smith Mmmnnn... The method I use to beat him is as same as beating The Countess(With Ice Arrows Rogue and Cold Spell Mages to slow him down), then Bone Spear as much as your can! After some running and attack, he'll fall. What, can't learn Bone Spear yet? Then cast a Bone Armor and tackle him! 4.Andariel This boss is the first toughest boss you face. But she isn't that hard though. It's a very good idea to a Blood Golem with an Iron Maiden curse, cuz she'll be a lot easier to beat! Never mind, if you don't have it yet, again finish all the monster on your screen first and don't try to sneak! Cuz you can kill yourself with tons of baddies around and Andariel! OK, it will be a lot tougher without a Blood Golem, but that isn't mean you can't beat her. There's only one way, that is kill it with your melee weapon. I know it sounds dangerous, but you don't seem to have any choices. By the way, if you toe-to-toe attack her, she won't spread her damned poison too! Plus, her eyes is not developed very well! I mean after you scratch her for 5 or 6 times, you will notice that she still haven't tackle you yet! Another good thing that is when you feel going to hell(or heaven if you like), escape to the second floor! Eventually, she'll die and left some goodies. Act 2- 1.Radament This boss is very annoying! Ya, he will resurect his minions! But you are a Necromancer, right? And a Necromancer can raise skeleton, right? So, use it!, after you kill each baddy, raise a skeleton or a skeletal mage to prevent Radament from resurecting the corpse! After some raising , Radament will be alone. If you have a Blood Golem with Iron Maiden Curse, he'll be to easy. If you don't, tackle him and retreat when you feel to bite the dust and heal yourself and do it again until he falls! Still not a very tough boss though. 2.Cold Worm The Burrower Man... this ....worm don't attack! Instead, his job is done by the Sand Maggots and Sand Maggot Youngs! Kill these maggots and use Corpse Explosion to finish all of them, left only Coldworm the Burrower. Tackle him with your melee weapon and when he nearly falls, run away and let minions do the rest, cuz when he dies, he will explode some poison gas thingy. 3.The Summoner When you are near the Summoner, a Quest Log will pop out remind you to kill him. When you see his platform, summon a golem there to handle him, try to dodge his fire attacks as well as possible. This guy seems to have quite low HP, cuz your golem will only takes half a minute or so to wear him down. 4.Duriel One Word, this boss is very very very..(infinte) tough! First, after you have entered Tal Rasha's Chamber, there's no way out, unless you use a Town Portal. Second, the place is quite small to run around! Third, he has a holy freeze aura that makes you move so S..L..O..W! Fourth, he is super fast, blink your eye once and he'll be in front of you! If you have the Decrepify Curse, use it! If don't, summon a Blood Golem, and cast Iron Maiden on him(Your Blood Golem will not last more than 5 seconds) and Bone Spear as much as you can. And, remember always keep a Town Portal cuz if you die, you won't need to travel a long without all your armors! After a very very tough battle, he'll die(wooh!), and may be you have died a lot too, you can leave this damned place and talk to Archangel Tyrael... Act 3- 1.Mephisto He ain't that hard for being a Prime Evil. In fact, I think Duriel, a normal boss, is even a lot tougher than him. I use Fire Golem and Bone Spirit to beat him. And below is the way I kill the Lord Of Hatred. First, a very important note, that is, kill all the council members before battling with Mephisto. Then lure him to the stairs, where you come from level 2 to level 3(It's an easy task!) Then, summon a Fire Golem and curse Mephisto your Iron Maiden, remember, your Fire Golem won't last very long. While Mephisto is playing with my cute Golem, I fire as much as Bone Spirit to Mephisto.(I get a faster cast rate from my ring) When your Fire Golem dies, he'll explode and hurt Mephisto some . Don't run first, just Bone Spirit again until he comes nearer and nearer, then retreat! Retreat to level 2! It only takes me 10 minutes to wear him down, and without a scratch! If you don't have a Fire Golem or Bone Spirit, just use Blood Golem and Bone Spear! Act 4- 1.Izual Again, I use Fire Golem and Iron Maiden, and too, Bone Spirits to beat him. Izual is easier than Mephisto cuz he takes 10+ seconds to kill my Fire Golem, so I have lots of time Bone Spiriting Izual! If you can't have a Fire Golem or Bone Spirit yet, use Blood Golem and Bone Spear, they work well too! 2.Hephasto The Armorer Even easier than Izual, cuz he has the Amplify Damage Curse. And the funniest thing is, he bite the dust before I notice! Just too fast to be killed being an ARMORER! Haha! I use the same technique when I beat izual, just that I don't even use Bone Spirit at all(cuz he has magic resistance) so if you want some hints, refer on how I beat Izual! 3.Diablo(II) Mmmnnn... final boss... Scare? Shouldn't. Cuz I think he's easier than Duriel(If you have gone here, means you have beaten Duriel! And since you can beat the Toughie Duriel, why not Diablo?) By the way, try to get something that add 1 point to your skills, like the Summoner's Amulet Of The Sentinels, if you can't, transmute one! Look at the Horadric Cube Section to know how! First, before opens the final seal, opens a town portal behind the wall, where Diablo won't see it. Then go and open the final seal to release Diablo. Your Fire Golem will probably rush to Diablo and tackle him, cast an Iron Maiden to help Fire Golem. You, yourself, find nice place to stay there and start Bone Spiritng Diablo! Your Golem will eventually dies and left you and Diablo alone. If you would like a fair fight, don't bother on summoning Golems again, cuz it's the final battle! You should face it yourself! Dodge his attacks(not very hard I think) and Bone Spirit when you have a chance(Bone Spear is not a good idea cuz he don't like camping!) When you see only 1/4 life is left, drink a potion or take the portal! After you are healed in the town, don't use that portal, instead, use the waypoint and warp yourself to the River Of Flames, and walk to Diablo, that way, you don't need to spend more than a portal! It's not a very long route, and you should have finished all the monsters, so there is no problem! Do this for 3,4 times and you will gain your victory for good! "May the light shine upon your path .....", Archangel Tyrael. !GAMES OVER! or not if you want to continue on Nightmare and Hell. --------------------- HORADRIC CUBE RECIPES --------------------- Some recipes I discovered. *NOTE:f.r.p.=Full Rejuvenation Potion 1)3 rings = 1 amulet(random) 2)3 amulets = 1 ring(random) 3)3 healing potions + 3 mana potions = 1 rejuvenation potion (type is not important) (type is not important) 4)3 healing potions + 3 mana potions + 1 gem = 1 f.r.p.

Repair before you sell. 2. Always do a backup of your save file, so you can replace the new one if you have gambled bad stuff or in case anything happens. 3. Visit the Moo Moo Farm and kill the Cow King to get some good stuff. 4. Don't let Necromancer battle alone! Summon! 5. Don't underestimate every single boss until you have beaten them, cuz you will... 6. Pump lots into energy, you'll need it! 7. Specialize on a single tree will bring great success. 8. Save your potions! 9. Kill all the baddies you can, don't sneak. 10.Kill Bosses and do anything dangerous immediately after gaining a level in Nightmare or Hell, cuz in case you die, you won't lose lots of experience points. 11.Save the imbue option and use it after you reach at least level 50. 12.Try to put golds into stash, if your stash is fully loaded, then drop your golds near your stash before your go, and when you wanna quit, be sure to get back and take the golds. 13.If you need to make your gems perfect, there's one long and simple way. First, go to Blood Moor, there are always some shrines around, Go and look for the Gem Shrines(remember to take the gem your wanna upgrade too), if there aren't any, quit and find again, with a hundred tries and a bit luck luck, you can find it! -------------- SPECIAL THANKS -------------- 1.Thank everyone who is in the heaven(Archangel Tyrael?) for I have successfully finish this FAQ. 2.Thank my parents for everything. 3.Thank Blizzard for making this awesome game. 4.Thank GamFAQs.com, NeoSeeker.com and GameWinners.com for giving me a chance. 5.Thank my stuffed toy Pikachu for being my companion. 6.Thank these guys for some informations: "yeoq si kuih " 7.Thank you for reading. 8.Thank myself for writting this FAQ.
