More experience:
Join a Battle.net or other multi-player game and join a
party. You and your partner will share experience. The
more people in the party, the more experience everyone
gets.
Avoid no-win situation - Press [Esc] when facing
imminent death, then save and exit the game. Load the
game again to start in town, where you can buy weapons,
life etc.
Quick belt item access - If you want to get the items in
your belt quickly, press [Esc] to pause game play, move
your mouse over the object you want to use, then press
[Esc] to resume the game. Then, immediately click on the
item you want to use.
Gain gold and items quickly - Travel past the Blood Moor
and look for a cave. The cave has two levels, with a
golden chest somewhere at the second level. Inside are
usually health potions, mana potions, scrolls of town
portal or identify, unidentified weapons and armor, and
sometimes even a rare item that can be sold for a great
deal of money. If you identify the item and it is
something that you do not want, sell it. Save and exit
the game. The next time the game is loaded, the chest
will still be there with different items. This can be
done as many times
as needed.
More gold for items - Never sell or even pick up items
that are low quality, cracked, etc. They give you less
money and take up space. Only sell Enchanted bows
because they cannot be repaired. Always repair items
before selling to get more money. Armor in general gives
you more money -- always pick up and sell it, especially
Heavy Armor. Keep your inventory clean by having a row
of potions along the bottom, a Tome of Identify and a
Tome of Town Portal on the far left so they take up less
space, and a key bunch. Keep as much space open as
possible. You may feel very compelled to hoard potions,
but it is more profitable to keep space open.
More space - Acquire the Horadric Cube and keep it in
your inventory. It only takes four spaces and gives you
twelve spaces when it is open, allowing you to carry
more items for your
collection.
Unlimited gold - On Act 1, play through the game until
you get to the Countess quest. In the Forgotten Tower on
level 5 of the dungeon, you will find several rooms
containing large masses of gold. After defeating the
Countess and collecting all the treasure, save and exit
the game. Reload and return to the Forgotten Tower on
level 5. The gold should be there again.
Unusable items - If you have a weapon that you cannot
use, throw it on the floor and put something else in
your hand that is usable. Then, open the inventory and
pick up the unusable item. Put it in your hand and will
now be usable.
Keep item in next game - After you kill Diablo and have
some time before the game ends, if you do not have any
room in your inventory open the inventory and pick
something up. When the game ends you will start a new
game with that item.
Safe gold storage - If your stash is full of gold and
you do not want to lose everything if you get killed,
drop all your gold beside your stash or somewhere in
town. You can go out and fight without worrying, but
must pick up your gold again before you save and exit.
Easy experience - Ally with a high level friend in
Battlenet. When battling, just stay back and let your
friend do all the work.
Safe gamble - To get a gold item (rare) when you gamble,
make sure you have at least 10,000 gold. Save and exit
the game. Return to the same character and press [Alt] +
[Tab] when in town. Once at the Windows Desktop, copy
the game's save folder to the desktop or another
location. Click on the minimized Diablo 2, go to Gheed
and gamble. If you do not get a rare item, save and
exit. Press [Alt] + [Tab], delete the current save
folder, and copy the backup save folder from your
desktop or other location back into the game folder.
Click on the Diablo 2
game, return to the same character, and repeat.
Quick restore - When you are near death, save and exit
the game -- make sure you are in Rouge's Encampment.
Then, talk to Akara. She will give you full life and
full mana.
Barabarian:
Cow level - Whirlwind is a necessity. Keep whirlwinding
around the edges of the swarms of cows and always have a
few rejuvenation potions in your belt in case you get
stuck in the middle of them. Remember to kill the cow
king because he will drop either a rare, set, or unique
item.
Necromancer:
Using items in Act 1 - Because gems in the beginning of
the game are usually more precious than any unique/rare
item you may find, get a socketed bardiche and fill it
with chipped or flawed rubies or sapphires. For boots
and gloves, try to go for + to gold from enemies because
gold in Act 1 will allow you to buy useful items in Act
2. For rings and amulets, lean towards + to life Mana or
Attack ratings. For armor and helm, try to get the best
defense. However if you find something that has kicking
abilities, do not hesitate to sacrifice the few defense
points
in difference. For belts, the more slots the better. In
skills, + to strength. In abilities, +2 raise skeleton,
+1 to amp damage, +2 to clay golem, + 1-2 to bone armor.
Stronger skeletons - Summon your maximum number of
skeletons, then find a skill shrine and click on it.
Your maximum skeleton summoning ability should be
doubled. Start summoning skeletons again. You should
have double your number of skeletons and they will be
twice as good in everything than your first skeletons.
When your skill shrine power runs out, the weaker ones
will die, leaving you with the strong ones.
Easy cow kill - Use neckroman's corpse explosion on some
of the cows in the cow level. You can kill over twenty
cows with only four casts of this spell, in a hell
difficulty. .
Easy Gems - Note: You need to be at level 24 or higher
for this trick. When you start the game, save your
skills when you level. Distribute a couple to Clay Golem
(2 or 3) and Golem Mastery (4 or 5) . When you reach
level 18, place one skill on Bone Spear and Blood Golem
each (every time you level ). Play the game until you
reach the Council in Act 3. Let your Golem fight the
Council while you sit behind him, shooting them with the
Bone Spear. This should kill them quickly. The Council
should give you one or more Gems/Skulls. Continue until
you
gain the desired amount of Gems.
Remove minions - Use this trick when facing enemies that
can resurrect other creatures, for example the Shaman.
Cast the "Raise Skeleton", "Raise Skeleton Mage", or
anything that will destroy the corpse, on the dead
creature. His Shaman will not be able to bring him back
to life.
Blood Golem/Iron Maiden combo - Once you get the use of
the Blood Golem, send it into battle and cast Iron
Maiden on the monsters attacking it. This will give you
great amounts of health instantly. Blood Golem gives
you, and it, health for all damage it deals, and Iron
Maiden causes monster who attack to deal themselves 200%
damage back. Since the Blood Golem considers the 200%
damage to be from it, this gives you lots of health. It
works very well since all the monsters kill themselves.
Paladin:
Increased damage - Build up Charge to increase damage.
All you need is a ring that has mana steel.
Better shield defense - Put perfect amethysts in your
shield to raise its defense. For example, getting an
ancient shield with three perfect amethysts will add 86
to the defense.
Protection from Diablo - Place three perfect diamonds in
a Gothic shield for maximum protection against all of
Diablo's attacks. There are several levels of gems:
chipped, flawed, gem type, and perfect type. With the
Horadric Cube you can make the next better
classification by putting three gems of the same type
and class in the Cube and transmuting them. This results
in one of a higher classification.
Defeating Diablo - If you manage to get Diablo near a
corner when he attacks you, simply trap him there . If
you have enough Life Steal (at least 15%) and Lightning
Resist (maximum), you steal enough life with every swing
that you can defeat him without using a healing potion.
Better shield defense - Put perfect amethysts in your
shield to raise its defense. For example, getting an
ancient shield with three perfect amethysts will add 86
to the defense.
Easier rare items - Find and equip two Rings Of Fortune
(increases the chance to get a better item), a socketed
Helm, two gems of Topaz (best if they are perfect),
Gloves Of Fortune, Boots Of Fortune and an Amulet Of
Fortune and equip them. With all that equipped, the
least amount you should have is 60%, but you may get
higher.
Getting rid of chipped gems - When you have too much
chipped gems, simply use the Horadric Cube that you find
on Act 2 on three of the same kind of gem. You will get
one single upgraded gem.
Change enemies - If enemies in a certain area, such as
Hell, are too tough restart the game. Enemies such as
Flesh Spawners, Stygian Hags, and the Hell beetles can
spawn dozens of creatures in seconds. After restarting
(exit, save, load, and play), check the area and repeat
if needed. The Hell beetles are usually replaced by Doom
Knights and Venom Lords, and the Hags are usually
replaced by the same. This may also work with other
areas.
No corpse monsters - Every character has a ability than
get rid of or prevent the creation of a corpse.
Unlimited imbued items - After installing v1.00, play
until Charsi offers to imbue something for you. Save and
exit the game. Then download patch v1.03 and install it.
Join a TCP/IP or open Battle.net game with the same
character. Imbue something, then give it to a trusted
player. After exiting, return as the same character, and
you will be able to imbue again.
Unlimited one way portal - Cast a Town Portal from a
safe location, then take the portal into town. Use the
waypoint system and run to get back to your last
location. This allows you to use the portal to go back
into town an unlimited number of times as long as you do
not use it from town to return to where you were
previously.
Cow level - First, successfully complete the game. Then
you have the Horadaric Cube, obtain "Wert's Leg" in
Tristram (where you go to rescue Deckhard Cain). Go to
the northwest part of the town and search the boy's
body. Place both Wert's leg and a Tome of Town Portal in
the Horadaric Cube, and it will open a portal to a
hidden level filled with axe carrying cows. Do not go
through the portal until you are over level 35 because
the cows are quite numerous and strong.
If you create a portal to the secret Cow level, do not
kill the Cow King. If you do not, the same character
will be able to create a portal there again repeatedly.
However, if you or anyone else kills the Cow King, and
you created the portal, you will not be able to do it
again. Note: You can get another leg from Wirt as long
as you do not have one in your possession.
Easy cow level experience - When you desire to activate
the secret cow level, save and exit first. Start a
multi-player game with one other person, preferably of a
different character type, one distance, one close. You
will gain more experience from it and have more fun. If
you are a close attacker, have some damage before going
into battle with the cows. Use a healing potion and
attack. As you take damage, the potion will continue to
work. This strategy can be used for mana and on other
monsters.
Duplicating items - Note: This only works on Open
Battlenet, as the characters need to be saved on your
computer. This trick also requires two computers with
two copies of Diablo 2. Get the items to be duplicated.
Copy the "Save" folder from the Diablo 2 folder of that
computer and paste it on your desktop. Go online with
both computers and meet in a game. Give the items to be
duplicated to the second computer, then save and exit.
Press [Alt] + Tab] on the first computer to switch to
Windows and copy the "Save" folder from your desktop
back to its original location, overwriting its current
contents. Return and join the other computer in the
game. You will now have all your original items and the
other computer will have a copy of
them.
Avoid death - Press [Esc] when you are about to die,
then save and exit the game. When you reload, your game
you will be at the starting location.
Moving hand - Press [Esc] during game play. Allow the
game to idle at that screen and the hand will begin
moving after a few seconds.
