Diablo II
Windowed game
Start the game with the "-w" command line parameter to run it in a
window on the desktop.
Cow level
When 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.
Retrieving items after death
Save and exit the game after dying. Restart the game, and your corpse will be
in town, allowing you to retrieve your possessions.
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.
Gain money 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 money for items
Identify or repair items before selling them.
Infinite 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.
Duplicate items
Note: This trick only works in an Open Battlenet game, 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. Note: This does not work
with the +1 Skill book from Act 2, as you are only allowed to do it once.
Note: This trick also only works in an Open Battlenet game. Take the item to
be duplicated and place it in your inventory. Then, save and exit the game.
Next, come back to the game or join a different one. Drop the item you want
to duplicate. Make a note of the game name and password, then sign off of your
ISP -- do not save and quit the game. Have another person in the game keep it
open while you are logged off. Sign back on to your ISP, go back into the game,
and pick the item that you dropped. It will also still be in your inventory,
so you now have two copies of that item.
I have realized that, when fighting baddies that raise their minion, a necromancer has an interesting tool. I like to go in with a golem and a skeletal mage [just one] to do the attacking, I cast Iron Maiden to help them out and then I get ready to raise normal skeletons. Why? It is true that these minions are weak and don't last long, but every monster killed which you raise is one less the baddie can raise to fight you.
Typically there are a limited number of minions that the baddie has [exception being when there is a mummy sarcofagus generating new minions - in which case, get rid of it quickly] so if you keep raising them before the baddie does, they run out of minions. Once that has happened you can dispatch the annoying baddie much easier.
