Last update 8th May 2001.

Welcome to my Diablo 2 FAQ

This contains many hints and tips on how to complete the game and train
a character.
It is designed to help you train and complete the game. It also contains
some random info
on some stuff.

A note to anyone reading from Diablo2.com. E-mail back the recent e-mail
I sent you. Please. I really need the skill tables. You know it makes
sense.

Also, DON'T SEND ME HATE MAIL. It is just a waste of my time and yours.
I ignore any hatemail I get because if you don't like my FAQ then don't
read it. If you have ideas of improvement, they would be useful but
hostility is not neccesary thankyou.
And another thing that is bothering me. Please don't say "I'm sorry
for any inconvenience\wasting your time." Number 1, unless you've sent
me a killer virus that will wipe out my family and blind me for life,
you're not being inconvenient. Number 2, unless you waffle on for pages
about tutus or custard colour jumpers, or something else completely
seperate from Diablo 2, you are not wasting my time.

REVISION HISTORY:

Febuary 28 2001: I've started the walkthrough. Broke 1k mark.
March 7 2001: I've done the boss list. Broke 100k mark. Thanks to a day
off school, I had time to e-mail Morquan at Diablo2.com for the skill
tables. They'll come soon.
March 29 2001: The strategy section was added. I thought I'd put it
first as it is very important. Dwason Brotemarkle and Peter Judson added
to the thankyous section. Exp table thingy added.
28th April 2001: Quick update. Locations table added. Didn't get round
to mailing it though :P
3rd May 2001: Easter was great, and when I came back I made up for it
with Solid FAQing. You now have Sorceress, Barbarian and Necromancer
Skill Descriptions. Paladin will come soon but Amazon might take a while
(please mail me with any cotributions).
8th May 2001: I've had the coolest idea. I'm going to put an animals
name then the word doofers. Then I add it to the contents table and you
can use the find button to get the stuff you want easily! Also, my
computer says my guide is 223K but gamefaqs.com say it's only 124k. Help
me please anybody!

STRATEGIES Stinginthedoofers

The Hit-And-Run Strategy:
Fighter Version: Firstly, run in and hit the NME a few times. Don't let
them get a chance to hit you. If they hit you, run away, use a potion,
keep running when they get close, and then start attacking them once
again. Repeat until either of you are dead.
Ranger\Mage Version: Firstly get in their face. Next RUN AWAY VERY
FAST!!! When you are a fair distance away, you want to use your most
damaging attack, until they once again come up to you. Repeat until
dead. If you are a Necromancer cast a spell or curse, then let your army
do the hard work.

The TP Escape strategy:

OK, firstly cast a TP near where the bad guy appears. Then run to an
escape (stairs, WP, whatever). Now run to the nearest WP (if you haven't
already), and when in town simply go through the TP. Doesn't work if you
HAVE to defeat a bad guy, obviously. This is an escape.

Undead Strategy:

Fighter\Necro Version: Use a mace. This means a wand, hammer, or other
blunt weapon.
Mage\Ranger Version: Use holy bolt or fire spells (like Fireball or Fire
Arrow).
Why did I just do that section? The strategy is so blatantly obvious.
I'll mention it in the walkthrough a lot though ;).

The Daleks Strategy:

EXTERMINATE! It may be your quest but it is easier said than done. Fight
your NME well, but when you need a potion go up the stairs so they can't
get you (thus the name Dalek Strategy). When out of potions cast a TP
back to town, and cheekily re-enter the arena. Nice strategy, shame
about it not working on Duriel.

The Through-the-wall Strategy:

Now THIS is clever. Shame it doesn't work for some characters. However,
with an army and Strafe, who needs to do this flash stuff? In order of
effectiveness:
Sorceress Strategy: When injured while fighting, cast teleport through a
wall. You should have time to use a potion, and while the clumsy monster
follows you, missile it when it comes through the door.
Barbarian Strategy: You can jump over almost any liquid and the void in
A4, plus you can also jump through portcullises in some dungeons. If you
see it, try jumping it, and wait behind the door for a stupid monster to
come and hit you.
Paladin Strategy: What you can't see can hurt you. Stand on one side of
a wall. If there is an NME on the other side Sanctuary will hurt it.

Of course, you could e-mail me if you have any more.

DIABLO 2 WALKTHROUGH
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
In my walkthrough I will call things by the first time you meet them.
E.G. I will call Fallen Fallen(1) and Carvers Fallen(2), etc. Most vital
locations will have "--" both in front and behind them, and be in caps.
They stand out that way.
Also, here are keys to abbreviations:
TP= Town Portal
WP= Waypoint
A1\A2\A3\A4= Act 1, 2, 3, 4
Q1\Q2\Q3 etc.= Quest 1, 2, 3, etc.
L1\L2 etc.= Levels of a dungeon.
LG= Lut Gholein
KD= Kurast Docks
PF= Pandemonium Fortress
Now lets get started!


ACT 1: ROGUE CAMP
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
First things first. Don't worry about the movie at the beginning, it is
not a vital part of the game and it does not make
sense until the end. Now you have started off, talk to Warriv. Then talk
to Akara for a quest, and if you are a fighter talk to Charsi. Then go
out to the --BLOOD MOOR--, and find the --DEN OF EVIL--.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
ACT 1: QUEST 1: THE DEN OF EVIL Aardvarkdoofers
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

This is probably one of the easiest quests, especially for a
necromancer. Just wander around and kill things. The little
red dudes, Fallen(1), have Shamans. Kill the Shaman(1) before you
attempt to kill the Fallen(1), cos the Shamans(1)
resurrect Fallen(1) and shoot fireballs at you. Zombies(1) are easy
enough to kill. For a Sorceress, firebolt them, and for
all others, hack at them (or let skells do it for you). Don't waste any
Javelin em. For the Spikes(1)(quill rats)
simply do whatever you can, avoiding the bolts. BEWARE! There is a
magical monster called Corpsefire. He will use an elemental
attack on you (that is what Spectral Hit means). He shows up with a
group of Zombies(1), but should be not much of a prob.
However, you might want to use a ranged attack instead of a melee if you
can. After you find and kill all the monsters,
right click on the blue scroll in your inventory to warp back to town.
Go to Akara for an extra skill point, then go to
Kashya for another quest. She wants you to kill Blood Raven. You can
find Blood Raven in the --BURIAL GROUNDS--, beyond
the --COLD PLAINS--. Oh yeah. Get the waypoint for Cold plains. If you
find the --STONY FIELD--, turn back. You don't go
there yet.
