Version 1.0: FAQ Creation.

3.)Quest List:

ACT 1:
1.)The Den of Evil: This is your first quest of the game. It is pretty
easy and you should have no trouble completing it. Given to you by Akara.
2.)The Sister's Burial Grounds: This is harder than the first quest but
it is still pretty easy. Given to you by Kashya after completing the Den
of Evil.
3.)Saving Deckard Cain: This quest is (I thought) easier than The
sister's burial grounds. It also allows you to return to Tristram. Given
to you by Akara after completing the sister's burial grounds.
4.)The Corrupted Tower: This quest is the easiest way to make money in
the first act. The tower's bottom floor has 3 treasure rooms. Given to
you by a book in the Dark Wood.
5.)Charsi's Hammer: This quest allows you to get a rare item out of a
normal item from Charsi. Given to you by Charsi after entering the Black
Marsh.
6.)Killing Andariel: The hardest (obviously) of all the quests. Andariel
is the boss of the first act. Given to you by Deckard Cain after entering
the barracks.

ACT 2:
1.)Clean out the sewers: This quest is pretty easy if you don't rush
around corners swinging your weapon. The enemies are easy also. Given to
you by Atma.
2.)The Horadric Staff: This quest is easy but not easier than the sewers.
It is completed near the end of the act. Given to you by Deckard Cain.
3.)The Tainted Sun: This quest is also easy. Just kill the enemies before
they get you. Given to you by walking around the Dry Hills and talking to
Drognan.
4.)The Arcane Sanctuary: This is HARD!! Anyone will definitely die twice
on his or her first time playing this place. Given to you by Drognan
after making the Horadric Staff.
5.)The Summoner: This guy is easy. He dies so fast. Given to you after
finding the summoner in the Arcane Sanctuary.
6.)Finding Tal Rasha's Tomb and Killing Duriel: Finding Tal Rasha's Tomb
is easy. Killing Duriel is not. Given to you by Deckard Cain after
finding the Horadric Cube.

ACT 3:
1.)Finding the statuette: This is easy after you find the statuette.
Given to you after finding the statuette.
2.)Finding the Blade: This is VERY easy. Given to you by talking to
Hratly after completing the first quest.
3.)Khalim's Will: This quest is not hard but not easy. The "parts" are
spread over a large area. Given to you by Cain after completing the first
quest.
4.)Finding the Black Book: This quest is kinda hard but not very hard.
Given to you by Alkor after entering Lower Kurast.
5.)Killing the Council Members: This is kinda easy. Just don't get
surrounded. Given to you by Ormus after entering the Kurast Causeway.
6.)Killing Mephisto: This is hard but not extreme. I still died a lot.
Given to you by Cain after destroying the Compelling Orb.

ACT 4:
1.)Killing Izual's condemned spirit: This is easy. Again, just don't get
surrounded. Given to you by Tyrael.
2.)Destroying Mephisto's Soulstone: This is harder than it looks. The
smith keeps killing you. Given to you by Cain.
3.)Killing Diablo: This is actually pretty easy. Diablo comes alone so he
is kinda easy. Given to you by Cain after completing the second quest.

4.)Walkthrough:

ACT 1:

Waypoints: Rouge Encampment, Cold Plains, Stony Field, Dark Wood, Black
Marsh, Outer Cloister, The Jail Level 1, Inner Cloister, and The
Catacombs Level 2.

You start off in the Rouge Encampment. Charsi is the blacksmith, Akara is
the leader of the rouges and she sells potions, scrolls, and staves,
Kashya is the leader of the rouges in battle and she lets you hire rouges
from her after killing Blood Raven, Gheed is a merchant and he gambles,
sells UNIDENTIFIED items at extreme prices, and sells keys, and Cain
(after you save him) identifies your items for free. After talking to
everyone, you will have your first quest, the Den of Evil. Find the exit
to the town and explore the Blood Moor completely. Don't go into the Cold
Plains yet. After killing everything in the Blood Moor, go back to town
and sell everything you picked up. Put any gems in your stash. You can
buy better equipment and potions now so go and do that. If you still have
money, get as many keys as you can but don't get any more than 18. After
you are situated, leave town and find the Den of Evil and kill everything
off in there. When you finish, go back to town and get your reward from
Akara. Every time your inventory fills up, go back to town and sell
everything. While you are up there, try to buy better items. If you need
more money, repair things before you sell them and you will make more
money off them. Talk to Kashya and you will get your next quest. Now you
can go into the Cold Plains. Explore there thoroughly. Helpful hint,
ALWAYS activate waypoints. It's easier to travel through them than town
portals except when running from enemies. Don't go in the Stony Field
yet. Find the Burial Grounds and kill Blood Raven. She shoots arrows at
you and sometimes fire arrows. Kill her undead helpers first and kill her
ASAP or she will raise more undead. If you need to, go back to town and
sell everything. Next, go to the crypt and the mausoleum for easy items,
gold, and experience. Then, go through the Stony Field. Don't enter the
underground passage yet. After complete exploration, enter the cave and
clean that place out. Then go through the underground passage. Again,
complete exploration. If you are wondering why you must explore
everything, it is because of three things; gold, experience, and items.
After getting into the Dark Wood, Find the waypoint ASAP. You will return
here later. You can ether explore the Dark Wood now, or find the Tree of
Inifuss and leave. Your choice. Anyway, whenever you decide to leave, go
to the Stony Field and find the Cairn Stones. Look at the scroll and
input the pattern by touching the stones. You should see a red portal
after the lightning show. Enter it. Welcome back to Tristram. TIME FOR
REVENGE!!! Remember Griswold in Diablo? You get to kill him!!! Revenge on
him for never getting good items until AFTER the hard parts of the game.
Not only that, but you get to search Wirt's body!!! He drops lots of gold
and his leg. Maybe it was worth it to pay him so much!!! Anyway, click on
Cain's Gibbet to let him down and save him. Get all the gold. I think
there is gold in Pepin's house but I'm not sure. Kill everything and
leave. Now you can return to the Dark Wood. Explore it if you haven't
already. Just make sure you read the book that gives you the forth quest.
Then, enter the Black Marsh. Explore it thoroughly and go into the tower.
Get down to the bottom level but explore everything on the way down. On
the bottom floor, enter the first room on the left. Clean it out. MAJOR
GOLD. Next, enter the first room on the right. Clean it out. MAJOR GOLD
number 2. Go in ether the top right or the top left doors and clean the
countess off the Earth. MAJOR GOLD number 3. Go out the opposite way you
came in. Easy huh? Then, Kill everything in the pit or the hole or
whatever. Then, go to the Tamoe Highlands and kill everything. Enter the
dungeon and Kill all that oppose you. Next, you want to enter the
Monastery. Wipe up everything in the outer cloister and go to the
barracks. Clean it out and don't forget Charsi's hammer. Helpful hint, if
you imbue Wirt's leg, you get a very strong weapon. Enter the jail and
explore that thoroughly. Then go to the inner cloister and clear that.
Finally, enter the catacombs. On the last level, the quest log button
will appear to show that it is the bottom level. Kill everything until
you get to double doors. Yes Andariel is in there. She has help so be
careful. Try to get Andariel by herself. Then she is easier. Be wary of
the HEAVY poison she throws at you. Killing her gets you a normal (not
chipped) gem of some kind and a bunch of other stuff. DON'T GO TO THE
NEXT ACT YET!!! Kill everything left in Andariel's chamber first. Then
you can leave.

ACT 2:

Waypoints: Lut Gholein, Sewers Level 2, Dry hills, Far Oasis, Lost City,
Claw Viper Temple Level 1, Palace Cellar Level 2, Arcane Sanctuary, and
the Canyon of the Magi

Ahh.. Lut Gholein. Desert paradise. Fara is the blacksmith, Jerhyn is the
leader of Lut Gholein, Drognan sells potions and staves and scrolls, Atma
gives you the first quest and then becomes useless, Griez lets you hire
people which die fast and don't do much, Lysander sells potions and only
potions, and Cain is back. Talk to everyone and clear out the sewers. Try
to avoid getting surrounded by the undead and kill the guys who raise
them first. After that, return to Atma for the reward. Next, talk to Cain
for the next quest. Go into the desert and clean house. Kill 'em all.
Next, clean up the dungeon in the first part of the desert. Then, go to
the Dry Hills. Clean it up and enter the next dungeon. Find the Horadric
Cube and take it back to Cain. Cain tells you some of its uses and you
keep it for the rest of the game if you want. It's a good idea because it
holds more space for you. Next, finish the dungeon and move on the Far
Oasis. Kill all the guys and enter the bug hole. Before you enter the bug
hole there should be a darkness change. It's your next quest. Anyway, be
careful here. The walls are closed tight so running is hard if there are
guys behind you. Kill everything and get the shaft for the Horadric
Staff. Get to the Lost City and kill all the queers. Explore the sewers
thoroughly and go to the Valley of the Snakes. Kill all as usual. Enter
the Claw Viper Temple and kill all. It's 2 levels. You complete two
quests here pretty much. The headpiece is here and it is completing a
quest but the game registers it complete when you use the Horadric Staff
in Tal Rasha's real tomb. The other is the Tainted Sun. Kill everything
in the Temple. Return to town and do your business. Then, talk to
Drognan, Cain, and Jeryhn and clean out the Palace. On the third level of
the cellar, you will find a portal. Kill all the bad guys first and then
enter the portal. Welcome to the Arcane Sanctuary. Prepare to retrieve
corpses of your dead bodies. This is the hardest part of the game. The
guys swarm you and you can run, but the waypoint is in a central location
and the paths are small. Try to clean out as much as possible. If you
can, clean out everything. You will at least gain some levels. The
summoner is somewhere in the level. Find him and kill him. He is EASY.
The guys in the level are harder than him. All he does is curse you. Kill
him and read the diary. The Canyon of the Magi portal appears. Go in when
you are ready. This is easier than the Arcane Sanctuary. Go in all the
tombs for max items, gold, and experience. Don't forget to clear out the
Canyon of the Magi first. In Tal Rasha's true Tomb, put the Horadric
Staff in the glowing altar thingy and it blows the wall open. If you were
using the Horadric Staff, get a new (GOOD) weapon because the boss is on
the other side of the wall. Make sure you cleaned out the Tomb and enter
the wall. Duriel slows you down after a few seconds with a freeze type of
spell but you can still move. He is strong and fast if you are slowed. He
is still not that hard. Hack him up and enter the next room. THERE IS
NOTHING IN THIS ROOM except Tyrael. Talk to him. Go to town and talk to
everyone. Do your stuff and talk to Meshif. He will take you to....

ACT 3:

Waypoints: Kurast Docks, Spider forest, Great Marsh, Flayer Jungle, Lower
Kurast, Kurast Bazaar, Upper Kurast, Travincal, and The Durance of Hate
Level 2.

Welcome to glorious (joke) Kurast. Well, you still get the docks right?
RIGHT? No. OK. Talk to everyone and buy new stuff. You should not have
any quests yet so don't worry. Hratly is the blacksmith, Cain is back,
Ormus sells scrolls, potions, and staves, Alkor sells potions only and
gambles, and Asheara lets you hire people who are good and sells stuff.
First off I recommend hiring a person who casts cold magic from Asheara.
The wildernesses in this area are huge so don't get killed too much. Kill
off the short guys first and take out the shaman second because the
shaman doesn't really resurrect them too much. Now leave town. The "Dark
Wanderer" will walk a little and disappear. Kill the demons. Now explore
the Spider forest. Along your way, you should find a statuette off a guy
you killed. Pick it up and go back to Cain. Give it to Meshif and give
Alkor the Golden bird. Talk to Alkor again and you get 5 stat points. Now
talk to Cain and Hratly. You should get two more quests. Do your business
in town and finish exploring the Spider forest. Explore the dungeons. One
will have Khalim's eye in it. Get it and finish exploring the Spider
forest. Don't forget any waypoints. Next, Clear out the Great Marsh.
Explore any dungeons and go to the Flayer Jungle. Clear it out and
explore the dungeons. Somewhere along the way, you should find the Blade
for your second quest. In one of the dungeons, there is Khalim's brain.
Don't forget that as well. Next, go to the Lower Kurast. Clear it out.
Explore ALL the temples. If you don't find the book, don't worry. Go to
the Kurast Bazaar. Clear it out and explore ALL the temples. You should
fine the black book. If not look in the Lower Kurast and the Kurast
Bazaar temples harder. If you still didn't find it, get it later and
explore the sewers. Get Khalim's heart and leave. Explore Upper Kurast.
Look in ALL the temples. Kill off the council members and get the flail.
Destroy the Compelling Orb with the Transmuted Flail. Go through the
Durance of Hate killing everything. On the third level, Mephisto waits. I
actually thought he was harder than Diablo. Look out for Mephisto's white
sphere thing. It hurts BAD. Sometimes it kills you in one shot. The trick
is to stay at hand to hand combat because that is where Mephisto is weak.
He will poison you yes. Don't worry. Keep slicing. If you run out of
potions go to town and get more. Come back down and keep slicing. He will
die eventually and you will get his soulstone and a bunch of other stuff.
Go to town and do your business. Talk to everyone. Go back down and clear
out the rest of the place. Go through the Portal to Hell to get to....

ACT 4:

Waypoints: The fortress, City of the Damned, and the River of Flame

OK. This is the last Act. Small. Buy your stuff and talk to Cain and
Tyrael. First 2 quests. Leave and explore the place. Kill off everything
and move on the Plains of Despair. Kill everything and fight Izual. Talk
to him when he dies. Next, go to the City of the Damned. Kill everything
and go to the River of Flame. Kill everything. Good luck on the Smith.
His strength is really high. He killed my guy in two hits!!! Get the
hammer off him and go to town. Identify it and get Mephisto's soulstone.
Go to the Hellforge and put the stone and the altar. Smash it with the
hammer. Now get all the gems. Go to the Angel guarding the single path
that says that this is the way to Diablo. Go through the path. Kill
EVERYTHING on the path. Get to the end and you should be in the Chaos
Sanctuary. The mages are a big pain. Try to kill them first. When you get
to a big Star, go up and kill everything. Open the seal(s) and go left.
Kill everything and open the seal(s). Finally, go right and kill
everything. Open the seal(s). If you open a seal, there should be more
guys. Kill them and Diablo will appear in the center. Don't get scared.
He's kinda easy. Just look out for his red lightning. After killing him,
you have 70 seconds to do whatever. Do your level up if you have one
first. Then, get the stuff and go to town. Identify everything and sell
if you still have time. On to Nightmare Difficulty!!! (I just started
Nightmare difficulty. If you die, you lose experience. You will FIND (not
buy) better items like ghost armor (quilted armor except with the EXTREME
armor class), serpent skin armor (ghost armor except with leather armor),
a razor bow (hunter's bow), and a poignant (dagger). There are some other
items but I haven't gotten to the Black Marsh yet. Good luck.)

5.)Character Help:

Having problems with your character? Dying too much? Can't find out what
to get for your guy? Look no farther. The section of the FAQ will help
you.

Amazon: One of the easiest classes. She's best with spears and bows. I
think spears are better but it's your choice. Try, with every class, to
get its strength up to 80 so you can use full plate mail. With an amazon,
build dexterity as well. You will need it for spears and bows later on.
You should get armor that is pretty strong as well. You can do pretty
much whatever you want on skills. Dodge and avoid are very good and I
recommend raising those as high as possible. You have to build your skill
depending on what you are using.

Barbarian: I think this one is the easiest. Just get a weapon and
possibly a shield and go kill things. Armor is not immediate, but it will
help. Two handed weapons are good and double weapons are even better if
they are both good. Skills are your choice mostly. Some good ones are the
masteries, double swing, find potion, find item, and howl. Howl will keep
the enemies away if you are surrounded. Great spell. The masteries are
great if you build them up high enough. Double swing will make your
attacks very strong with two weapons. Bash is OK if you build it up high
enough as well.

Necromancer: The hardest to make effectively. With this guy, don't get
two handed weapons. Defense is what you need. Work mainly on defense. Get
a good one handed weapon. On your skills, DON'T BUILD UP TEETH. Build up
corpse explosion, golem and golem mastery, bone spear, bone armor, and
poison nova. Corpse explosion will clear out crowds. Kill a guy and use
the spell on his corpse. It damages nearby enemies with 60 - 100 percent
of the corpse's life. Golems will save you a lot. Build these up until
you can get iron golem. Then fire golem. Bone spear is great. I killed
Diablo with this spell. I have it on level 7 I think. On that level, it
does around 50 damage. Not only that but it passes through your target
and hits another behind it and it passes through him and so on. Good for
making corpses for corpse explosion. Bone armor will save your life time
and time again. Upgrade it a lot. Poison nova is good for getting rid of
the guys around you. Upgrade that a lot also. I did this guy without
curses but its your choice.

Paladin: If you can do this guy right, you need help. He is very easy to
do. Just get a good weapon and good armor and you are set. He is even
good with a bow. Skills are pretty easy also. Try to build up on the
resistances, Might, prayer, zeal, and freezing. The resistances will help
you fire, lightning, or cold damage. Might raises your damage dealt.
Prayer will help you if you have time to regenerate your life. Zeal kills
a lot of guys with one swing. I will let you decide what to do with your
skills. It won't make too much of a difference.

Sorceress: Hard off the start but it gets easier. She is great with
staves and can use OK armor. Get a staff that raises your skill points or
raises your resistances. Try to run a lot if you are having trouble.
Skill points should be put into teleport, frozen armor, shiver armor,
chilling armor, glacial spike, fireball, hydra, the masteries, and
lightning spells. Teleport saves your butt plenty of times. The cold
armor spells freeze enemies that hit you. Great for melee combat. Glacial
spike freezes multiple enemies. Great for running. Fireball hurts if
upgraded high enough. Hydra will help a little but not as much as some of
the other spells. The masteries help keep your damage up and the
lightning spell help keep you away from danger. You should not build up
on firebolt. Only put one point there so you can get fireball. Charged
bolt isn't the best ether. Put no more that 3 points there. Frost nova
and lightning nova aren't the best spells ether.
