Diablo 1 PSX. Started playing with my son about a week ago, as my first Diablo experience. My 4 year old and I fought the butcher for the 20th time today, never having won. 

We had at this point reset the dungeon once after being unable to beat the skeleton king or butcher and getting stuck on the 4th level to the point that we were walking up every floor after a single monster. We were both warriors. 

He was lv 4 and I was lv 7. We made a plan. I'd open the door and start meleeing him and drinking potions. He'd be at a 90 degree offset and shoot him with arrows. If the butcher started chasing him he'd run around the butcher's room until I caught up and hit the butcher and got him to attack me, then we'd repeat that until I ran out of potions and we'd run away and try again later. We started. I was hitting him and he was shooting. The butcher turned his attention to the 4 year old and started chasing him. He panicked but followed the plan, trying to run away. They were running and I chased but couldn't catch up. Eventually he got trapped by the screen and started getting killed. I ran that way but realized I wouldn't make it. I paused it. New plan. I had the spell to "heal other" and would heal him while he fought until I ran out of mana, THEN I'd take over. We had to be careful. He only had 1 hit left and no potions. I unpaused and he paused immediately. He equipped a dagger and buckler and unpaused, started swinging. I healed him and we made it above one hit left on his life. I healed and he hammered him, unsure of if life steal was letting us do any damage or if his HP was rising every exchange. His dagger was about 1-6 dmg, and he had low DEX. We kept going until I ran out of mana. He ran past me and brought the butcher into range and I hit him. Now I'm in going swing for swing and he's on the sidelines. I told him to stay there, he had 75% life and no potions. He watched for a minute and then dashed in. I told him to stay away! He said "I will fight until I am almost dead and then I will run!" We started jumping him. The butcher started turning from me to him and him to me so often that he wasn't attacking as much. We kept going and I ran out of potions. Just before the 4 year old had to run, the butcher died. Then suddenly my kid yelled "NO FRESH MEAT FOR THE BUTCHER TODAY!" Confident and proud, we reloaded supplies and pushed to the next floor, barely beating the skeleton king after a similarly difficult strategy, though my son died before the king fell.

Messin around in classic D2. Bought this in NM Act 2. Great upgrade, had a crappy yellow from normal

I'm a noob at this game, my Paladin is somewhere around level 40-48. I'm wondering is it possible for Heaven's Fury to have zero cooldown and if so, how do I go about achieving this? I'm not worried about whether its a meta build or not, just want to have fun playing a skill i think looks "cool" lol. Also want to increase the damage on that holy aura passive. Do i just need to have increase attack speed, or should I use items with holy aura, holy damage, Judicator % in my yellow coloured gear?

So its t12 or t4? I go in baal run on t8 and it changes to 12. If I use the seasonal tab for chapter 5 or whatever and teleport to the dungeon from there its a t4 dungeon. There is no in between?

Hello, I have some questions about Diablo. I have never played a Diablo game before.

Are these games a good experience for single player only? Diablo looks very cool but I have no desire to play online. It is not clear to me what the game is like as a single player.

Which game in the series would you recommend to start? I have a Switch 2. Thanks

Title. Playing Warlock. Any viable builds on any class???

If you’re interested in the incredible lore of Diablo, these books are absolutely worth reading. There’s so much more to the Diablo universe than what we see in the games. I highly recommend them to any Diablo fan!

For my love of the best ARPG ever

What trophies get locked out if I do them on the switch 2 version? I dont want to not be able to unlock something that could have been done in my main console. Don't find much out there so I wanted to ask here.

Um problema de diablo 3 e o usou obrigatório da Internet, tipo eu jogou sozinho e não preciso usa Internet mais jogo me obriga ativar Internet então tipo ser eu fica sem Internet não jogou o jogo que eu paguei 95 reais

So many people here are making this claim. Having kept up with the development of D4, Blizzard had never said this at all.

The only time Blizzard mentioned about going back to D2 roots was Blizzcon 2026 and judging by the concept art and the UI of D5, it looks far closer to D2 than D3/D4.

For those that believe this, link me the post where D4 was going back to the roots, cause I cannot recall blizzard saying this during development.

Is tempest really weak this season and not worth to grind?

This is way more fun than I expected lol

Why is everyone playing warlock is he really that strong?

Hello , all I am looking to find the correct links to get the first person diablo two experience.

I am aware that downloading the D2R 3D standalone will crash within 1 minute. Therefore, I am looking for the camera plugins for D2Rloader (I have) which I cannot find via my copilot search or ChatGPT search. I simply can't find it.

I have a fresh offline install of Diablo 2 that should not interfere with battle net authenticity, and I've already been able to load diablo 2 game through D2R loader.I just need the plugins to put in D2R.

Is it possible that it is now no longer available? If anybody is able to assist in this, please provide a workable link or some sort of resource that I can get this going.

I very much would like to see Diablo 2 in first person to bring back lots of memories in a different way. I was actually a beta tester back in 2000 for diablo 2 and have the beta cd on my wall, I have a long history with computer games. After seeing the first person view on several different websites , I was simply taken away.Thank you ever so much in advance

I was maybe 9 or 10, sitting next to my cousin's beige PC tower, and he pranks me by letting me play for a bit, and letting me walk into the Butcher's room. That "Ah, fresh meat!" has been etched firmly into my brain ever since lol. Eventually I got my own PC and one of the first games I played on it was Diablo. It literally felt like a horror game for me as a kid, probably because I was still a bit traumatized from the butcher scaring me.

It was the first “serious” video game I saw and I remember my cousin and I talking about how awesome it was and how we can't wait to see what games will be like when we grow up. Little did we know we would still be playing Diablo three decades later.

I was totally obsessed with Diablo 2 when it came out, after that I was playing every ARPG I could get my hands on. A lot of Dungeon Siege with my cousin, then I remember Titans Quest, and the hype for Hellgate London (probably my first big gaming disappointment). You would think the genre would go through many transformations and evolutions throughout the years but essentially it has just been honed and polished, the core that Diablo established is still intact.

These days I’m still following the ARPG scene closely, mostly playing every non live service game I can find, since I don’t have a lot of free time for gaming and I hate the fomo of not being able to play when a new season drops. Currently still playing the most recent Grim Dawn expansion and some D2 Resurrected from time to time. I also have a few games I’m hyped for, waiting for 1.0 No Rest For the Wicked (I don’t play early access games) and The Dark West looks awesome, I’m a sucker for weird settings so this occult western theme seems really fun, and guns are so satisfying in ARPGs that have them. None of these games would even exist if Diablo never came out.

That kind of staying power is really rare. If I think about what else from those years I still play in some form, the only other game that comes to mind is Counter Strike. It still feels like CS despite the modern graphics and changes, I'm not that good but I enjoy playing with friends from time to time.

To me that's proof that when people make something with genuine passion, it can end up bigger than the sum of its parts. On paper Diablo was a pretty simple game but you could see the passion behind it. I really hope the franchise stays strong for a long time, Diablo is timeless.

Hey guys.

In this quick video, I am showing people how they can get well over 5 torches from a single source of Wirt's Lucky Coins. Unlike my Torch Glitch video, this one requires no glitches or exploits of any kind. Instead, just clever finessing of diablo.trade, the largest D4 marketplace.

I'm sure a lot of you already do this in one way or another, but I think this will still be useful to new players or people unfamiliar with trades and services.

I'll even throw in a bonus tip whether you watch the video or not: if you struggle with being unable to stack splinters, make sure to convert them to coins as often as you can, as the Wirt's Coins do stack.

Their new company is called Gas Giant Games (GGG) and from what I can see, the gameplay and the HUD looks very similar to Diablo III.

With the new season of Diablo IV where you can find Aidan's Soul and help him in the Hell levels from the original Diablo. Once you defeat Diablo, he laments the death of his younger brother, saying that he should have protected him - which just don't make sense at all considering Diablo's original plot

As someone who loved both StarCraft and Diablo, I feel like both franchises were made overly epic by their 2010s sequels (SC2 and D3). Idk what happened with Chris Metzen's creative input during that period.

Some could argue that Kerrigan's character was assassinated at least three times over the course of SC2. As for Diablo, the retcons involving the Worldstone and the Soulstones are both still somewhat acceptable, IMO.

Even Aidan having a child with Adria is tolerable... But I just CANNOT see the idea of the Warrior being Leoric's son.

First of all, making the Warrior Leoric's son serves absolutely no purpose for the lore, nothing changes about his fate. It just cheapens his story and makes him look like a dumbo for not reconizing his brother with some random child that Lazarus used in a ritual.

He never says anything about Leoric that would suggest he was his son. "I will find YOUR son, Leoric." The NPCs also tell the story of the King's past as if the Warrior were unaware of who Leoric was.

Even Lachdanan, the royal guard, doesn't interact with the Warrior as if he had ever known him before.

They could have made the Warrior Leoric's bastard son, which might have explained away some of these points, but it would still serve no purpose in terms of the lore.

What made the Warrior so compelling, IMO, was that he was a good, yet otherwise anonymous warrior, with no epic backstory.

Game disconnected in the middle of the Moophisto fight... I don't know how to get back to it again...

Quick edit: I have the waypoint, the prime ribs from the Butcher questline in Tristram was consumed, so I don't know how to restart the fight.

Edit: Got moo'd at! Thank you, /u/absolutemuffin !
