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.
Windowed game
Start the game with the "-w" command line parameter to run it
in a window on the desktop.
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.
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 armour, 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.
Avoiding Overwhelming Odds
Press [Esc] key when facing a no-win situation, then save and
exit the game. Load the game again to start in town, where you
can buy all items..
Unlimited Items
Travel past the Blood Moor and look for a cave. The cave has two
levels, with a golden chest on the second level. Inside the chest
there are usually health potions, mana potions, scrolls of town
portal or identify, unidentified weapons and armour, and sometimes
rare items. 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.
Imbue Without Fear
When you want to imbue an item and are concerned about the outcome,
copy the Save 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 back at the main menu again. Press
the [Alt] and [Tab] keys 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.
Infinite Use of the Town Portal
Cast a Town Portal from a safe location, then take it back to
town. Use the waypoint system and get back to your previous location.
You can use the portal to go back into town an unlimited number
of times as long as you do not use it to get back from town..
Duplicate Items
This trick only works in an Open Battlenet game, since the characters
need to be saved on your computer. The cheat requires two computers
with two copies of Diablo 2. Get the items to be duplicated and
copy the Save folder from the Diablo 2 folder from 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 the [Alt] and [Tab] keys 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 duplicates. This does not work with the +1 Skill book
from Act 2.
Alternatively, this trick also only
works in an Open Battlenet game. Place the item to be duplicated
into your inventory. Then, save and exit the game. Return to the
game or join a different one, and drop the item you want to duplicate.
Remember 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 up the item that you dropped.
It will also still be in your inventory, so you will have two
copies of that item.
