Monster level cheat for Multi-Player:

Here's a way to use a Multi-Player concept to get easy monsters. 
Supposing you and your X friends want to kill Diablo. Just before 
he will be created, everyone saves&exits. After you're in a one 
man game make sure Diablo comes after you, and then run away or 
something. Next, all players reconnect and fight Diablo. X players 
will fight a Diablo created for 1 player. Otherwise his HP would be 
multiplied by the number of players.

Multi-Player Waypoint Sharing Tip:
----------------------------------
Email: rhin0@yahoo.com
Submitted by: Rhin0

To save time and probably lives, ask another character to give you a 
waypoint. Tell him to go thru it and open a Town Portal aside it. 
Then you go thru the portal and activate the Waypoint for yourself. 
This is helpful for getting in hard to access place like Canyon of 
the Magi in Act II or Durance of Hate level 2 in Act III. 


Paladin Auras Tip (for Multi-Player):
-------------------------------------
Email: rhin0@yahoo.com
Submitted by: Rhin0

In a multi-player game remember that a number of paladins using the same 
aura at once will not amplify the effects of the aura by that number. It 
is better for each paladin to simply use different auras. This also stands 
for Barbarian's benefic howlers.

Multi-Player Town Portal Tip:
-----------------------------
Email: rhin0@yahoo.com
Submitted by: Rhin0

Two players each open one portal and then go thru it. When returning to the 
battlefield, they use each other's portal, thus the portals will not close, 
so they can be reused. Other players other than the two owners of the portals 
can return to the battlefield thru any of the two portals (see note).
Note*: Town Portals only close when the OWNER travels from town to the battlefield.

Multi-Player Item Cheating Methods:
-----------------------------------

Here's a very simple and useful way of getting some cool objects from a friend. 
Tell him to make a back up of his character files (copy the  
files from the ...\save\ directory to a separate folder). Next you (or him, 
doesn't matter actually) host a game. He'll give you everything you want, and 
then you both save&exit. Now he has to replace the save-game files with the back 
up he previously created.

In the first act, every time you speak with Akara, she 
refills your mana/life/stamina.

Here's how to dupe an item without any hacking: 
-----------------------------------------------
Submitted by: JetracerRP@aol.com

Use Town portal.
Set any item in front of the portal.
Click with the mouse on the item and step through the portal.
When you reach the town the item will be in your inventory.
Go back through the portal and the item will be where you 
left it. To duplicate an item in multiplayer:

Fill up your belt with healing or mana potions. 
Drop any item on the ground. 
Walk some distance away. 
Click back on the item. Your character will start walking 
toward the item. 
Just before the character picks it back up, click on a potion 
that you should have on your belt. 
If the item is picked up, you can then drop the potion. 
When the potion hits the ground it will change into the item 
that you pick up. If the potion doesn't change when it hits the 
ground, you clicked on it to late. 

Repeat 1 through 6, but try walking farther away from the item. 
It might take a few tries to get your timing down, but it will 
happen. 
Also, you can not have more than one of the same item on the 
ground at any one time. 
If you try, the screen will say "duped item detected," and it will 
remove one of them.   


Diablo 2 in a Window:
---------------------
Although not documented, you may run Diablo 2 in a Window 
instead of full-screen. Simply add "-w" to your Diablo 2 
shortcut. (ie: "C:\Diablo 2\Diablo II.exe" -w) 

Retreiving Items from Dead Corpse:
----------------------------------
(Tested with version 1.01)
When you die and are transported back into town, shutdown 
the game incorrectly (example: [Alt] + [Tab] back to Windows, 
press [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Delete] and shutdown the Diablo 2 task). 
When you load the game back up again, your dead corpse will 
appear in town and you may collect your items/gold. 

Savings & Load:
---------------
Unlike in Diablo I, you cannot save the game in the 
middle of a dungeon, and re-load the game back to that 
point.  That is, if you pick up an unidentified magic 
item and want to save the game before you identify it, 
so that you can reload the game and dump the item if 
its actually cursed or useless, you cannot do it directly 
through the main game menu like you could in Diablo I.  
This is because your in-game menu options are various 
game setting 'Options', 'Save and Quit', and 'Return to 
Game'.  To do this in Diablo I you would just: save, 
identify item, load game, and then dump the item if you 
wanted.  To do this in Diablo II, you need to: save and 
quit, load game, identify item, Alt-Tab (to bring up your 
Windows desktop), end task Diablo II (ctrl-alt-del, select 
Diablo II, click on 'end task'), then relaunch the game, 
and reload the game.  Your item now returns to an 
unidentified state, and you can unload (sell, drop) it 
if you want.

Money:
------
This doesn't work for any class except the Barbarian. 
It definitely takes patience. OK, first learn the find 
potion skill. If u want to, after go to the skills shrine, 
then go around and kill everything, in between use the find 
potion skill and with the shrine enhancement u should be able 
to get light health and mana, and maybe even a rejuvenation. 
when your full go to the blacksmith and sell your potions. 
Presto, Mo money!

Hex Cheat (Stash)
-----------------
WARNING: Always make a backup of your savegame before 
edititng! 

To modify the amount of gold contained in your "Stash", 
do the following: 

1) Try to put at least 1000 gold in your stash. This cheat 
will work with smaller amounts, but you may be limited on 
how much you can add. 

2) Load your game. Record the amount of gold in your stash. 
Exit from game. 

3) Load a Hex Editor and convert your gold to HEX. Open the 
file savegame.d2s (savegame will be the name of your character) 
in your Diablo 2 save folder. 

4) Search for the HEX location (from converted amount of gold). 
Modify the HEX location to FFFF (or any amount in HEX that you 
wish - up to 65000). Save the file. 

5) Re-load your Diablo 2 savegame and you will have 65000 in 
your stash!

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.

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. 

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. 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 is also still 
in your inventory, so you now have two copies of that item.
Use the following trick to duplicate potions. You must be out in 
the Blood Moor. Buy enough potions to fill about half your inventory.
While in the Blood Moor, drop potions until they completely surround 
you. When you are surrounded by potions, continue to drop them and 
they will just keep adding up in your inventory instead of dropping. 

Can't get your Dead body?:
--------------------------
Just save, exit and go back to the game. Your body 
will be in the town.

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. 

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, 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. 

Imbue without worry:
--------------------
When you get an item and want to imbue and are worried about 
the outcome, copy the "Save" folder from the Diablo 2 folder 
to the desktop or any other location. Start your game and imbue. 
If you do not like what happened, save the game and exit. 
You will now be in main menu again. Press [Alt] + [Tab] and 
copy the save folder back to its original location. Then click 
"Single Player Game" and start. You have another chance to imbue 
the item. Repeat this until you get the desired effect.

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. 

Using items in Act 1 for Necromancers: 
--------------------------------------
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.

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. Note: v1.00 
save files cannot be overwritten by v1.03.

You can have unlimited amount of an imbued item. This trick requires 
two computers or a one with two copies of the game running simutaneously,
two different characters (for example, a Paladin and an Amazon). For 
example, if the Paladin has been granted an imbue award, but he wants 
two objects to be imbued (e.g. a shield and a scepter), make a copy of 
the Paladin and save the game. Then, go to Charsi and imbue the shield. 
Trade this shield to the Amazon for safe keeping. Exit, then copy the 
backup saved game you made earlier over the current one. Trade back 
your shield, and you can now have the scepter imbued and keep it. You 
now have unlimited imbues. The same can be done for socketed equipment.
You can even make copies of your equipment to get more runes or life 
(the golden bird in Act 3 can be duplicated).

Hints:
------
Before selling an item, repair it. This will increase its 
value. 

Always have several Town of Portal spells ready. 
These portals can provide a quick escape if the dung 
hits the fan and there's no other way out. 

You can use the waypoints to move between the different 
acts. This is helpful if you want to go back and buy an 
item or get something repaired. 

Horadric Cube formulas:
-----------------------
NOTE: These formulas will not work with patch 1.02 
installed.

The Horadric Cube, found in Act 2, works as a kind of magical 
catalyst. 
If you put certain items into the Cube, it will transform them 
into another item. Here are a few formulas that work:

2 quivers of Arrows = 1 quiver of Bolts
2 quivers of Bolts = 1 quiver of Arrows
1 quiver of Arrows + 1 Spear = 1 bundle of Javelins
3 Perfect Gems + Magical Item (armor, weapon, jewelry) = random 
  high level item
2 Topaz + 1 Ring = 1 Coral Ring (lightning resistance)
3 Mana Potions + 3 Heal Potions = 1 Rejuvenation Potion
3 Gems of same grade and type = 1 higher-graded Gem of same type
3 Rings = 1 Amulet
3 Amulets = 1 Ring

Defeating diablo using Amazon:
------------------------------
Submitted by: d.shankarnarayana
E-mail:shankar_annauniv@yahoo.com

Since Amazon is one of the weakest characters in diablo2 it is very difficult 
to kill the Diablo himself. However, you may kill him easily by following this 
technique. Learn the "STRAFE" spell and level it up as higher as possible. 
The higher the level of "STRAFE" the easier is to kill Diablo and his companions 
(Mephisto, Duriel and Andariel). If more doubts persists, Mail me.

Defeating Diablo using Necromancer:

E-mail:shankar_annauniv@yahoo.com

Necromancer is a summoner of undead & minions. You can kill Diablo by this method. 
First, send a fire golem to make Diablo somewhat busier at that time sneak nearer 
to Diablo. The Fire golem absorbs all the fire damage and when it is struck by 
chain lightning spell of Diablo. Diablo emits this spell every 10 seconds so beware!. 
Attack Diablo from backside and cast the Blood Golem spell. Now the Golem too joins 
with you and attacks Diablo. Diablo won't attack the golem instead he attacks you. 
The Main asset of the blood golem is that he re-vitalizes your health orb when you 
hit the enemy and even if he hits the enemy. This requires a quite patience so 
...If more doubts persists, Mail me.

Submitted by: Daniel a.k.a. The Ewok

There is a little trick I accidentally uncovered that you can do in Diablo II 
(I think it works for the expansion, too), as long as you have access to your 
characters’ save files (so it doesn’t work with closed Battle.net). 
You simply explore your hard drive, find the [Diablo II] folder, and go into [saves]. 
Then, go into the properties of all the files of whatever character you want to use, 
and make them [read-only]. Then when you enter a game, you can do whatever you want, 
even give everything you own away to your friends, and when you join a new game with 
your character, it will be the exact same as before! Because you made it [read-only], 
the game cannot save over your old file, so it will be locked in whatever state it 
was in your save file. I found this very useful in multiplayer with my friends. 
I do the trick, and give away all my awesome equipment. Then I load and it is all 
still there!

defeating diablo and mephisto using necromancer:
------------------------------------------------
Submitted by: Rohit Sabharwal

raise the skill "bone spear" to high level(about 6 or 7). bone spear at this level 
has great magical damage, and diablo& mephisto having low magical resistance, gets 
defeated easily. its a good idea to curse him
with amplify damage to defeat them more quickly. remember to have lightning resistance 
don't take them in melle attacks at all. summoning minions won't work as they kill 
your minions in a single blow.

defeating duriel using necromancer:
-----------------------------------
Submitted by: Rohit Sabharwal

duriel has a great melle attack so its best to curse him with iron maiden, summon a 
blood golem and take him in melle. your blood golem
will keep on converting the damage into life till you knock him down.

note:using blood golem against diablo and mephisto may not work as their fire and 
lightning attacks will kill your golem in seconds. also while fighting duriel its 
better to first engage him in melle attacks against you then summon a blood golem, 
so that he may attack only your character.

Avoiding trapped chests:
------------------------
A normal chest will have a single squeak when you open it. A trapped chest will 
have a sound like two squeaks that are happening at the same time. If you listen 
closely, you will hear the normal 
squeak and a similar but different squeak. After the sound, you will have about one 
second to run 
away. You will not make it if you are walking and the trap is a projectile.

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.

Spin:
-----
Select the regular attack (resembles an arrow) for both of your action icons. 
Then, hold [Shift] + Left Mouse Button. With those held, move your cursor around 
the character and he or she will spin. The faster you circle your character, the 
faster they will spin.

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.

Better restart:
---------------
When you die, do not save and quit. This gives you the advantage of starting next 
to your body. However, if you died fighting a Boss, unique, or champion monster, 
you must face them with full health, rather than whatever you whittled down to before.


Druid: Character development:
-----------------------------
To develop a "tank" Druid, as your Druid levels up, put a skill point in Werewolf and 
put the rest into Lycanthropy. You may put one or two on pets such as Spirit Wolf. 
Also, alternate between assigning points to strength and vitality so that they are 
within 5 points of each other. Do not use any points on elemental skills when making 
a "tank" Druid. By the time you get to about level 20, you should need an increase in 
Dexterity. Make sure to invest 3 to 4 points in the Maul ability, as it helps against 
Bosses. Also, Druids perform best with a maul equipped. Try to make this the item 
Charsi imbues. If you follow this, you should end up with a Druid that has over 900 
health by level 35. 

The tank Druid can be used in another way. You can also focus on Lycanthropy and 
Wearbear, but doing so only put one point on Werewolf. Always have high damage weapons. 
A maul is good because the Druid has a fast attack speed rating with it. Never put any 
skill points on elemental skills as this will ruin the tank. Put points into Heart Of 
Wolverine, and Maul and Hunger with Werebear. These are very good skills. You will be 
able to kill most monsters in one hit. This makes up for the Werebear's slow speed. 
Use Oak Sage until level 30, then you can learn Spirit Of Barbs. This skill gives you 
and your party members a skill similar to the Paladin's Thorns Aura if you have a lot 
of HP. Regardless of the strength of the monsters in Act V, they will be a lot less 
terrifying.

Easy Way To Kill Andariel:
--------------------------
This code only works if your a Sorceress. Before you open the doors to Andariel's 
big throne room, open a Scroll of Town Portal in a corner, Next you make sure you 
have a lot of health potions in your belt( I recommend putting scrolls of town portal 
in the 4th one). Make sure you have blaze selected as your skill and open the door. 
Then you just walk around the pool of blood and make sure she's following you and 
pretty soon the flames will kill her. 

Getting Stuff Back Instantly From Corpse:
-----------------------------------------
If you die and can't get back to your body, simply save and exit the game, then 
load your game and your body should be in the town. All your gold may not appear 
( this obviously depends on whether you were carrying any ), it may still be lying 
near where you died. 

Extra Soulstone:
----------------
To get an extra "Mephisto's soulstone" do the following:

1. Kill Mephisto in act 3.
2. Pick up his soulstone.
3. Go to the river of flame in act 4.
4. Kill "Hephasto the armorer".
5. Pick up the hellforge hammer.
7. Place "Mephisto's soulstone" on the hellforge WITHOUT HAVING IDENTIFIED 
   THE HELLFORGE HAMMER!
8. Make a town portal.
9. Have Cain to identify the hellforge hammer.
10.You will now have an extra "Mephisto's soulstone" in your inventory 
   though the original one will still be on the hellforge.

More Experience Faster:
-----------------------
In a game hit the ENTER button to go to the chat screen type /PLAYERS 8 
you can do this from 1 to 8

Imbue without worry:
--------------------
When you get an item and want to imbue and are worried about the outcome, copy the 
"Save" folder from the Diablo 2 folder to the desktop or any other location. Start 
your game and imbue. If you do not like what happened, save the game and exit. You 
will now be in main menu again. Press [Alt] + [Tab] and copy the save folder back 
to its original location. Then click "Single Player Game" and start. You have another 
chance to imbue the item. Repeat this until you get the desired effect.

Avoid dying from poison:
------------------------
If you are about to die when poisoned, quickly make a town portal and go through. 
You cannot die in town. This also works with hirelings.

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.
