Here are some hints, cheats, and glitches for Diablo 2: LoD.
Easter Eggs
Every Sound
To hear every sound recorded for Diablo 2 press ''enter'' in a game to open the chat box and type in ''soundchaosdebug''
Secret Cow Level
Just like the Secret Cow Level in the original Diablo II, the Secret Cow Level is in LoD as well. You must have beaten Baal on the difficulty you want to make the portal for though.
1. Go to Rogue Encampment
2. Insert a Wirt's Leg and a Tome of Townsportal into the Cube and Transmute.
3. Enter Portal.
4. Fight Cows.
The cows CAN be difficult to kill with melee characters, so be careful. Paladins and Sorceresses are always helpful here.
The cows do not give good experience, but the chances of finding good runes/gems/equipment is better than most places. Also, most of the ''stashes'' and ''chests'' here are good drops as well.
WARNING: If you want to make the portal again, DO NOT KILL THE COW KING. If the Cow King is killed in a game where you made the portal, you WILL NOT be able to make the portal for that difficulty anymore.
Glitches
Invincible
The only character that can make this glitch work is a Barbarian. In edition, he must be at Level 71 or higher, have at least one skill in Leap, have 185 strength, and 87 dexterity. (The stat requirements have to be met before a weapon is put on.) If all the criteria is met, aquire a Flamebellow Balrog Blade (Unique) and put it on your Barbarian. Next, set Inferno on the left-click hot key which Flamebellow gives you. and set leap on the right-click hot key. Go out of town, use leap and while you are in the air, hold shift and left-click (Inferno). If you are sucessful, when you are attacked by a monster or another player, they can only get you down to 1 life (Invincible). You can tell if it worked by checking your gear, the backround will be red like when you use Whirlwind. WARNING: If you use this glitch, your Barbarian may only use Inferno as an attack, nothing else. Once you leave the game, your Barbarian will go back to normal. Also, if your opponent continuously trys to kill you, your gear may be damaged.
Near Infinite Mana
This glitch can allow you to cast 2 of the spells (Inferno [Sorc] and Arctic Blast [Druid] only) without depleting mana for a period of time. When you use the skill, start the ''click-n-hold'' inside the mana meter ball. Your mana will drain as normal, however, when it reaches low numbers it will stop draining, but you will still continue to cast. This glitch seems to randomly not work, although it works more often then not.
Starting Character Level of 32
** This is only known to work on v1.07 or higher **
Add a short cut to LoD on your desktop. Right click and select properties. Under the target line on the very right add one space and insert '' -Act5 '' ** Note only the dash and act five need to be added one space after the orginal target line. If done correctly you will start in act five will all correct attribute and skill points to spend. This works with the Assasin, Amazon, Druid, and Barbarian classes. If you find a way to get this to work on other classes please let us know. Also not you must create a new character of said classes to do this. You will however only start with the base inventory and no wavepoint or quests completed. Simply go to the wave point in the town and jump back to the Rouge Encampment. Have fun!
Secrets
Play Diablo in a window
On your shortcut to diablo ii, right click on it and go to properties. Then in the target line, at the end of where it is targeted press space then enter -w, this will run diablo in a window and not in full screen. It has less lag and helps alot.
Skip to Battle.net
Right-click on the Diablo II: Lord of Destruction icon on your desktop and click properties. Where on the target line, it should say something like \\\"C:/Program Files/Diablo II/DiabloII.exe\\\" or something similar to that (Depending where you installed it. Add -skiptobnet to the end (Outside of the quotation marks) and when you open Diablo II: LOD with the shortcut, it should skip right to the Battle.net authentication sequence.
