Runewords? In D1 ? @Dam Sen I disagree. Speaking of D2 - Fining rare items with perfect rolls is much much rare that unique. That's the reason why people still love D2 classic - gorgeous classic. Rune words is just the Ruinwords - ruining the balance and the joy. "just get grief" is disgusting. I play LoD of course, but I never ever use runewords when I play, they just too much of breaker for me.
@Dam Sen Runewords are one of the most laziest system to be implemented in D2. Endgame is all about runewords dominating most item slots, which means that you don't even need to identify rares in those itemslots. But for example rare headgear, boots, rings & gloves are interesting, since you want always pick them up, since good rolls on those can be better than any unique / set. Runewords shouldn't be end game items by any means
I don't know how I ended up here but I'm one of those few dudes who played 100% legit all the way and had at least one of every class at max level (50) with near perfect bis items (all self found, no trades) in all slots back then on battlenet. These items and stats are forever stuck in my brain ;) I still have the saves somewhere on external storage, been forever since I last played. Royal Circlet for Warrior and Rogue imo and Thinking Cap (Durability boosted from Hidden Shrines ofc) for Sorc ;) Thanks for this lil trip down memory lane :)
This was my first online game. I had starcraft, but I had bad connection as a kid so I couldn't fully download the patch(later smartened up and got a download resumer). This game blew my mind as a kid. Lucky dupes existed because I sucked at this game. I always needed kings sword of haste, godly plate of the whale and zodiac stuff. Still remember the names of the most duped things. I also remember using apocalypse staff.
I was kid back in those days but I remember them fondly, I used to dupe items for people all the time and The Godly Plate of the Whales was one of them. I loved it and miss it so much. I wish I had the money for a computer again. I miss playing with friends online.
These items like Godly Plate of The Whale.. Do they exist or did they exist in previous versions of the game? Were they fixed in patch 1.09? Did they only exist on the battle net or were they on the single as well? And what about lightforge?
I remember creating new characters online from time to time, and naming the game, “I need Godly Armor of the Whales” or whatever items I was missing. Such good times…

The OP Civerb's Cludgel. Did more damage to demons than any weapons in the game as the +200% bonus damage applies to your char window damage and not base weapon damage. Makes Hell Hell easy on a warrior.
King's Sword of Haste... I will never forget that item and it was legit. Apocalypse and Nova items were hacked with max charges that item could have. Couldn't go above 255 because of code values :D Good old times...
I have a question and I have never come across this ever on PC. But has anyone ever played the PS One version of Diablo and come across the "Deadly Long Sword?" This was in 1999 and was at the time, playing couch co-op with a friend one night and I managed to get it killing off King Leoric. What I remember about his sword was how overpowered and how the durability was 45, the and the damage was +50 with a cost of -20HP. This has only happened once for as long as I have played the PS One version as, a warrior class. Has ANYONE out there ever come across this really unique weapon I've described?

There definitely were legitimate staves of both Apocalypse and Nova. However, I believe they were limited to about 12 charges unless they had the plentiful or bountiful prefix, which could double or triple the maximum number of charges. I remember finding a bountiful staff of apocalypse that had around 40 charges, which was awesome. I did acquire an archangel's staff of apocalypse with 255 charges, which was obviously hacked.

@@MarcoDGallego you don't even need to buy it. There's so many free copies kicking around, as well as many free mods like Beelzebub/tchernobog to make it run in better resolution.
I liked that the Sorcerer used unique items. A legit Sorc would use Thinking Cap as the helm. You would have to use shrines to get it's durability above 1.
I don't know why I see everywhere that the best items were hacked... King's bastard sword of haste (speed was the same atk speed but less expensive to repair), godly plate of the whale and arch angel staff of appocalypse/nova were all available on the ps1 version and I have them on my old memory cards. You just needed a char enough high level to shop them.
My level 36 warrior had the grandfather two-handed sword that can be held in a single hand, the storm shield and a ton of points fully invested in strength. I felt almost unbeatable.
I had one run where Dreamflange dropped off the 2nd or 3rd scavenger on the first dungeon level. It was pretty ridiculous. Waaaaay too much fun even though it nullified most of the challenge during the run. Things like that happening were part of what made the game special though.
I remember polish channel was pretty much the only community which of majority played the game without hacked items like godly full plate, apoc 255 staves, not to mention stuff like lightforge helmet or even worse stuff like god mode.
When GOG re-released Diablo I started a wizard and found "The Thinking Cap" on like level 2 of the labyrinth just laying on the floor in a back room. I immediately put it in the old inventory until I found a 'hidden' shrine, took my chances and immediately had the best wizard helm in the game.
I used to have so much fun with my sorcerer. Doing pvp against another sorc was the best. You'd throw up mana shields and whoever had the best gear and stats would probably kill you with one fireball or two.
The bat item you are referring to was one of the countermeasures to the 32 million life and mana hack. The better way was a hacked spell that worked on multipliers that would actually take someone with 32 million life to -50 million so quickly it would cause them to crash. If I remember correctly, the Naj's plate was not a legit item in diablo 1.09. The godly items of whale were all hacked, there was hacked spells, and even hacked spell books to bring back spells that were removed. Sadly most of the truly great hacks (both items and loaded codes) are gone. But I do know a few may still survive in a handful of hard drives. From being able to teleport to any specified location on any level with a typed command, to loading items. Even the crash packet filters that were created were something amazing. At one point even legit players started downloading them and running them while playing online. Their only purpose was to prevent someone from entering your game and crashing you with a single code for you to load. Obviously they had a kill switch so to speak in them, so if the person who created it wanted to crash you, they could.
2×Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac (20 to All, 40 Resist All) as well as the Amulet of the same stats Dreamflange, Thinking Cap (with a few Hidden Shrines for extra durability), Naj's Light Plate, and ... well screw it - i'd go for Stormshield as well and You got the PERFECT sorcerer base for a lvl. 1 character 😁😁
I did get a King's Sword of Haste once, after many many replays of hell runs. It was a two-handed sword.* 😢 This game's RNG really hated my guts. (*: For those who don't know, a shield is very much a necessity for a warrior in D1. A KSoH is only useful if it's generated in one-handed form.)
These items like Godly Plate of The Whale.. Do they exist or did they exist in previous versions of the game? Were they fixed in patch 1.09? Did they only exist on the battle net or were they on the single as well? And what about lightforge?
The Stormshield and the Royal Circlet are 2 of a very small handful of unique items in Diablo 1 that are worth a damn. Most of your "end game" gear is gonna be basic magic items with both a prefix and a suffix. Oh yeah, I forgot about the Dreamflange...very important for the Sorcerer. I'm not sure why some people prefer the Thinking Cap over the Royal Circlet. I don't feel like the Thinking Cap is worth a damn. Its AC is awful and you have to go shrine hunting in order to raise its overall durability because it starts at at like 1 or 2 max dur.
Both Royal Circlet and Thinking Cap are great items but are for different builds. Thinking cap is primarily for Sorcerers using high level spell builds. Yes, it lacks ac, but +2 spells is no joke, especially on high level characters. Royal Circlet is great all around for obvious reasons, but tends to be more oriented for Rogues and Warriors. Sorcerers using a “tank” build can make great use of it as well, however.
@@FireIceTalon Yeah, the Thinking Cap is good for spells. There's one item I don't think I've gotten - or at least not the last time I got really into the game, which was a few years ago. I believe it won't drop after a certain player level, like 21 or 23 or something like that. I'd have to look it up to remember what the item was. I feel like it was one of the few useful Unique items. I would love a Resurrected-style remake of Diablo - with new items to find and killing Diablo doesn't end the game - he just dies and drops an item or 2.
@@Tom_Van_Zandt not sure. But I know that level 21 was the best and last level that Griswold can sell you a Massive Bow of Swiftness, which offers the highest dps for a Rogue in the game. +96% - +110% bonus damage with fast attack.
I remeber playing on some hacked server and in the town was littered with gold and the best weapons/armor. I picked them up and was OP at lvl 1. Fun times :p
You should replace one of your "obsidian * of the Zodiac" on your warrior with a Dragon's * of the Zodiac, you don't need more than 75 resist, and more mana would allow you to telekill more, and use more Chain Lightning in big packs.
I like to play The Sorc in a special way. I haven't seen Anybody play him in this way so Here Is my way on playing him. You will need: -Constricting ring (gives 75% to all ressist but decreases your HP slowly) -Dreamflange (Crazy Good on a sorcerer) -Book of mana shield -any Shield that gives to Magic -any Helmet that gives to Magic -any Second ring that gives to Magic -any Amulet that gives to Magic -any armor That gives to Magic Try for the items to Give you atleast +20 to Magic or higher (18 works fine too) Magic increases your Mana and since you use mana shield that means you will switch your HP for your Mana which means that the Constricting ring isn't that Bad. The Constricting ring Is Good because it gives max ressistences so you don't have to worry about that. And there Is no Point for you to work your Butt of to try and find some amulets or some items that Give you like 16 to all attributes since the only thing the sorcerer needs Is magic. With this build you have insane Amounts of mana that the Constricting ring Doesn't really have a downside and at the same time you have max ressistences,I play on the Hellfire version so I Can just Fully max out All spells (except Mana shield). You become a monster at the late game
Apocalypse is even better once you have such a large mana pool too. I've been farming so efficiently since I can just teleport, 4-6 apocs and everything on the screen dies. I've yet to find big uniques like Dreamflange, but found some items with both all resist and all stats on them. Have 1 ring with +36 all res +11 all stats which is pretty sick.
afair the duping bug was fixed in 1.09, all the items can be genereted by the game (except for godly/whale on full plate), even aa/nova or apo but not with 255 charges:), godly helm on great helm (15AC) gives 45AC, RC gives 43. Storm is easily findable unique, awesome(holy)/tiger is better for warrior. The notorious item you could show was Lightforge (helm) or Gnarled/Messer on ring, or Dreamflange ring
Good vid. Underrated Diablo channel. For someone like me who never truly played D1 (even though some of my friends back then played it) it's interesting to see all the parallels to D2 which just completely captivated me with its vastly improved, well...EVERYTHING :) You might jut blow up, though, once D2R (and D4) comes out - provided you're gonna cover it, of course. For now I'm just way, WAY more excited about D2R. I assume you feel the same ;)
Thank you for the kind words. I plan to cover a lot of Diablo 2 stuff going forward now that there's new players and new life being breathed into it. I'm neutral on D4. I don't dislike it, but I also don't feel any excitement at all. I haven't looked at any info on it outside of the past 2 Blizzcon panels. I'm sure I'll get around to researching and covering it at some point. Maybe when D2R dies down and D4 is closer to release.
@@Stormsong93 sounds good. Hopefully, D2R doesn't die down anytime soon and will provide a stark and useful contrast to the gameplay of D4 once it comes out. It'll be interesting to see which one becomes more popular. Maybe (hopefully...) Blizz will realize that the harder, less hand holding gameplay of D2R actually creates a bigger interest among even younger players.
I played like 500 runs of Diablo one but I only got 5 or maybe 10 runs with the warrior. It was just so annoying having to chase all the enemies. Rogue and Sorcerer were fun - but I really hated the warrior...
Man, great video. However, I’m sure I’ve found a better sword. It’s king’s sword of blood. It’s has similar extra damage and hit as those in your inventory, but each hit steals 5% of life. Together with the storm shield it makes you invincible against any kind of infantry. Diablo himself can’t inflict any damage to my character fighting face to face even in Hell mode. BTW, I’m an archer character fan and carry the shield and sword specially for Diablo, all other monsters are killed by arrows and so is the dark lord time to time. Yesterday found the Armor of Gloom - first time ever, although have done the game maybe a hundred times
I remember using trainers in this game to hack everything. I would then grief people by creating a bunch of firewalls and then resurrecting them in the firewall when they died creating an "infinite death loop" it would prevent people from quitting the game to because the quit screen would clear every time the were resurrected. I did this to a french person and they got super angry. I was like 10 years old at the time so give me a break.
I remember a scroll that you put in place of the helmet and it pretty much made you indestructible. I am unsure what it's name is, but it likely wasn't a item that was meant to be in the game. Some guy gave it to me on a multiplayer game. Also I seem to remember there was a ring that slowly damaged you. I was playing on my father's account and put on a ring that hadn't been identified. I had to leave so I put his character somewhere safe and afked, when I got back his guy was dead. It was decades ago so my memory might be a bit fuzzy.
i used to hex edit like 20 stats/skills onto a ring, everything that would go on it and still work so one punch cast a ton of magic attacks, and 2 rings that didn't work in epic ways. broken rings for loot grabbers. one if you put it on and hit a mob your game will freeze and require a restart. and another one that you hack into your account, then you cant move it except to drop it, once you drop it anyone who picks it up would full pc crash, and if you try to reload your player without hacking the ring off it keeps crashing :P because certain skills cant be used together.
I only ever beat the game twice. Waaaaay back in the day... like... the year it was released. I don't remember a damn thing about the items, except that the one's Wirt sold were always too expensive for me.
I was messing with cheat engine and died and dropped secret item called "ear of Arok, any idea? I can't find it online. any idea? Item gave me 20,000 HP and MP
KSOH? The Strange Sword of Haste was better. I spent days re-rolling Wirt until I got one. Hit rate would give more DPS over time and was better for dueling. Also I hate a Godly Crown of the Mammoth from Wirt. Everyone claimed it was hacked, but I knew for a fact I bought it from wirt. My level 43 Warrior was the shit.
you can still dupe in hellfire, but you have to leave it in you, i would usually sell it right away to make money btw, i dupe items with 1 gold, not a potion
Rogue's used Merciless bow of thunder or Windforce. Also, Arch Angel's Staff of Apoc is a real item you could shop fairly easily. However, the one most people remember was hacked to have 255 charges. Godly plate of whale I'm honestly not sure about. I do recall being told that it wasn't actually possible to find a plate with the prefix godly but I can't find anything to confirm. All of my years playing D1 though, I never found a plate armor with the "godly" prefix. Highest I ever found was "awesome". Any of the other "hacked" items you mentioned would work when you imported them but if another player picked them up or you left and joined another game, they would change to garbage.
The godly plate of the whale is not hacked item, it is in the game that can drop, the problem is there is no enemy high enough in level to drop that item. So you have to mod monster levels much higher for it to drop normally.
@@Unchainedful since it cant be found nor bought from wirt, it was a hack. 100% hack. Even the tier below that, holy plate of the mammoth was a cheat. The max+ac+life was an awesome plate of the lion.

Sadly most of the truly great hacks (both items and loaded codes) are gone. But I do know a few may still survive in a handful of hard drives. From being able to teleport to any specified location on any level with a typed command, to loading items. Even the crash packet filters that were created were something amazing. At one point even legit players started downloading them and running them while playing online. Their only purpose was to prevent someone from entering your game and crashing you with a single code for you to load. Obviously they had a kill switch so to speak in them, so if the person who created it wanted to crash you, they could.
2×Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac (20 to All, 40 Resist All) as well as the Amulet of the same stats
Dreamflange, Thinking Cap (with a few Hidden Shrines for extra durability), Naj's Light Plate, and ... well screw it - i'd go for Stormshield as well
and You got the PERFECT sorcerer base for a lvl. 1 character
😁😁
I did get a King's Sword of Haste once, after many many replays of hell runs. It was a two-handed sword.* 😢 This game's RNG really hated my guts.
(*: For those who don't know, a shield is very much a necessity for a warrior in D1. A KSoH is only useful if it's generated in one-handed form.)
Yes. Yes, I remember now. The potion-drinking simulator.
1000% correct 😉
Me spamming heal spell
Oh no Beelzebub came to haunt me!!
Fun fact: i did a challenge run where potion are forbiden. Cleared the game.
@@mathieudoucet1446 I assume you had a whole inventory of portals and healed at the healer instead?
I remember having bugged thinking cap rings and amulet
These items like Godly Plate of The Whale.. Do they exist or did they exist in previous versions of the game? Were they fixed in patch 1.09? Did they only exist on the battle net or were they on the single as well?
And what about lightforge?
My buddy and I had a pair of mage's that were crazy powerful. We used to collect ears from cheaters.
The Stormshield and the Royal Circlet are 2 of a very small handful of unique items in Diablo 1 that are worth a damn. Most of your "end game" gear is gonna be basic magic items with both a prefix and a suffix.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the Dreamflange...very important for the Sorcerer.
I'm not sure why some people prefer the Thinking Cap over the Royal Circlet. I don't feel like the Thinking Cap is worth a damn. Its AC is awful and you have to go shrine hunting in order to raise its overall durability because it starts at at like 1 or 2 max dur.
Both Royal Circlet and Thinking Cap are great items but are for different builds. Thinking cap is primarily for Sorcerers using high level spell builds. Yes, it lacks ac, but +2 spells is no joke, especially on high level characters.
Royal Circlet is great all around for obvious reasons, but tends to be more oriented for Rogues and Warriors. Sorcerers using a “tank” build can make great use of it as well, however.
@@FireIceTalon Yeah, the Thinking Cap is good for spells. There's one item I don't think I've gotten - or at least not the last time I got really into the game, which was a few years ago. I believe it won't drop after a certain player level, like 21 or 23 or something like that. I'd have to look it up to remember what the item was. I feel like it was one of the few useful Unique items.
I would love a Resurrected-style remake of Diablo - with new items to find and killing Diablo doesn't end the game - he just dies and drops an item or 2.
@@Tom_Van_Zandt not sure. But I know that level 21 was the best and last level that Griswold can sell you a Massive Bow of Swiftness, which offers the highest dps for a Rogue in the game. +96% - +110% bonus damage with fast attack.
I remeber playing on some hacked server and in the town was littered with gold and the best weapons/armor. I picked them up and was OP at lvl 1. Fun times :p
I have never, I repeat never, found the unique Grandfather sword and I've been playing this game for over 20 years.
Not going to lie, I don't remember any other items except these since people were always giving them out in every game
Hah, that's precisely why I made this video! The memories of the same items being duped over and over haha.
You should replace one of your "obsidian * of the Zodiac" on your warrior with a Dragon's * of the Zodiac, you don't need more than 75 resist, and more mana would allow you to telekill more, and use more Chain Lightning in big packs.
I actually took up learning how to use a Hex editor and how to create custom weapons etc.
I missed the helmet Veil of Steel. I used to love it. But I never played the hellfire extension.
Thanks for this...i also still remember all the items on my war. For helm I used Lightforge ;)
I like to play The Sorc in a special way. I haven't seen Anybody play him in this way so Here Is my way on playing him. You will need:
-Constricting ring (gives 75% to all ressist but decreases your HP slowly)
-Dreamflange (Crazy Good on a sorcerer)
-Book of mana shield
-any Shield that gives to Magic
-any Helmet that gives to Magic
-any Second ring that gives to Magic
-any Amulet that gives to Magic
-any armor That gives to Magic
Try for the items to Give you atleast +20 to Magic or higher (18 works fine too)
Magic increases your Mana and since you use mana shield that means you will switch your HP for your Mana which means that the Constricting ring isn't that Bad. The Constricting ring Is Good because it gives max ressistences so you don't have to worry about that. And there Is no Point for you to work your Butt of to try and find some amulets or some items that Give you like 16 to all attributes since the only thing the sorcerer needs Is magic.
With this build you have insane Amounts of mana that the Constricting ring Doesn't really have a downside and at the same time you have max ressistences,I play on the Hellfire version so I Can just Fully max out All spells (except Mana shield). You become a monster at the late game
Apocalypse is even better once you have such a large mana pool too. I've been farming so efficiently since I can just teleport, 4-6 apocs and everything on the screen dies. I've yet to find big uniques like Dreamflange, but found some items with both all resist and all stats on them. Have 1 ring with +36 all res +11 all stats which is pretty sick.
@@Stormsong93 wow that Is Great!
afair the duping bug was fixed in 1.09, all the items can be genereted by the game (except for godly/whale on full plate), even aa/nova or apo but not with 255 charges:), godly helm on great helm (15AC) gives 45AC, RC gives 43. Storm is easily findable unique, awesome(holy)/tiger is better for warrior. The notorious item you could show was Lightforge (helm) or Gnarled/Messer on ring, or Dreamflange ring
That Awesome Warrior will end Up in my TCG in some way! The Flavour is so great!
Used to have Gnarled Root rings and amulets for the damages bonus. Barely, but I remember lol
Good vid. Underrated Diablo channel. For someone like me who never truly played D1 (even though some of my friends back then played it) it's interesting to see all the parallels to D2 which just completely captivated me with its vastly improved, well...EVERYTHING :)
You might jut blow up, though, once D2R (and D4) comes out - provided you're gonna cover it, of course. For now I'm just way, WAY more excited about D2R. I assume you feel the same ;)
Thank you for the kind words. I plan to cover a lot of Diablo 2 stuff going forward now that there's new players and new life being breathed into it. I'm neutral on D4. I don't dislike it, but I also don't feel any excitement at all. I haven't looked at any info on it outside of the past 2 Blizzcon panels. I'm sure I'll get around to researching and covering it at some point. Maybe when D2R dies down and D4 is closer to release.
@@Stormsong93 sounds good. Hopefully, D2R doesn't die down anytime soon and will provide a stark and useful contrast to the gameplay of D4 once it comes out. It'll be interesting to see which one becomes more popular. Maybe (hopefully...) Blizz will realize that the harder, less hand holding gameplay of D2R actually creates a bigger interest among even younger players.
@@Stormsong93 Hey how did you get all these items on v1.09 when all of them are gone after that patch? Aren't they hacked and were before patch 1.09?
6:00 i remember i had an hacked apocalypse staff as is had (i believe?) 255 charges not only the common 10
ok 30 seconds later u said it i should stop comment before finishing the video hahaha
Yeah the arch-angels's staff of apocalypse was so much fun. No mana cost!
I played like 500 runs of Diablo one but I only got 5 or maybe 10 runs with the warrior. It was just so annoying having to chase all the enemies. Rogue and Sorcerer were fun - but I really hated the warrior...
Does the trainer still work on gog Diablo 1?
No demonspike coat or grandfather?
Man, great video. However, I’m sure I’ve found a better sword. It’s king’s sword of blood. It’s has similar extra damage and hit as those in your inventory, but each hit steals 5% of life. Together with the storm shield it makes you invincible against any kind of infantry. Diablo himself can’t inflict any damage to my character fighting face to face even in Hell mode. BTW, I’m an archer character fan and carry the shield and sword specially for Diablo, all other monsters are killed by arrows and so is the dark lord time to time. Yesterday found the Armor of Gloom - first time ever, although have done the game maybe a hundred times
255 staff of apoc was hacked. Oh how powerful you felt once you acquired one tho
in which mode did you find the zodiac rings?
Is this being played through GOG or were you able to get it work in Windows 10?
Indeed, I am playing this through GOG.
I remember using trainers in this game to hack everything. I would then grief people by creating a bunch of firewalls and then resurrecting them in the firewall when they died creating an "infinite death loop" it would prevent people from quitting the game to because the quit screen would clear every time the were resurrected. I did this to a french person and they got super angry.
I was like 10 years old at the time so give me a break.
Really asome video! I always thought someone got the Godly plate of the whale off Wirt but it was then mass duped (USeast) but is it hacked ? Wow !
I remember a scroll that you put in place of the helmet and it pretty much made you indestructible. I am unsure what it's name is, but it likely wasn't a item that was meant to be in the game. Some guy gave it to me on a multiplayer game.
Also I seem to remember there was a ring that slowly damaged you. I was playing on my father's account and put on a ring that hadn't been identified. I had to leave so I put his character somewhere safe and afked, when I got back his guy was dead. It was decades ago so my memory might be a bit fuzzy.
i used to hex edit like 20 stats/skills onto a ring, everything that would go on it and still work so one punch cast a ton of magic attacks, and 2 rings that didn't work in epic ways.
broken rings for loot grabbers. one if you put it on and hit a mob your game will freeze and require a restart. and another one that you hack into your account, then you cant move it except to drop it, once you drop it anyone who picks it up would full pc crash, and if you try to reload your player without hacking the ring off it keeps crashing :P because certain skills cant be used together.
Windforce? Bruh The Needler is where it was at.
Naw, Bow Of The Stars!
Why is everybody saying dupe isnt possible in hellfire? Theres a Switch in Option to change the Speed in town and it worked on Full Speed aswell
I only ever beat the game twice. Waaaaay back in the day... like... the year it was released. I don't remember a damn thing about the items, except that the one's Wirt sold were always too expensive for me.
I was messing with cheat engine and died and dropped secret item called "ear of Arok, any idea? I can't find it online. any idea? Item gave me 20,000 HP and MP
I remember the Demonspike Coat being a helmet.
Godly Plate of the Whale is insanely powerful, I never found it
Cause it don’t exist legit in the game. Awesome Full Plate Mail of the Lion (75 AC +150% Armor +60 HP) is the maximum you can get.
I remember "GIVE SOJ GIVE SOJ GIVE SOJ" And then scrolling a bunch of periods, which would boot all the koreans. PKPKPKPKPKPKPK... maybe it was d2...
Yeah that’s D2, we were all about gettin those Sojs 😂
Thinking cap for sorceress give +2 to all spell
KSOH? The Strange Sword of Haste was better. I spent days re-rolling Wirt until I got one. Hit rate would give more DPS over time and was better for dueling. Also I hate a Godly Crown of the Mammoth from Wirt. Everyone claimed it was hacked, but I knew for a fact I bought it from wirt. My level 43 Warrior was the shit.
you can still dupe in hellfire, but you have to leave it in you, i would usually sell it right away to make money
btw, i dupe items with 1 gold, not a potion
I remember item hacking back in the day and naming things the most childish stuff ever. Good times.
you can dupe on hellfire just items only, not gold.
i forgot all about some of these!
how do i get a trainer for tchernbog/hellfire?
I do not know. I used the ol' classic Bobbafett trainer for regular D1 here in this video.
none for belze/tchernbog cause it's totaly different game (engine), but i think Reymond's works for HF, you'll find on the internet for sure
Amazing video! Diabolical, even...
Rogue's used Merciless bow of thunder or Windforce. Also, Arch Angel's Staff of Apoc is a real item you could shop fairly easily. However, the one most people remember was hacked to have 255 charges. Godly plate of whale I'm honestly not sure about. I do recall being told that it wasn't actually possible to find a plate with the prefix godly but I can't find anything to confirm. All of my years playing D1 though, I never found a plate armor with the "godly" prefix. Highest I ever found was "awesome". Any of the other "hacked" items you mentioned would work when you imported them but if another player picked them up or you left and joined another game, they would change to garbage.
The godly plate of the whale is not hacked item, it is in the game that can drop, the problem is there is no enemy high enough in level to drop that item. So you have to mod monster levels much higher for it to drop normally.
@@Unchainedful since it cant be found nor bought from wirt, it was a hack. 100% hack. Even the tier below that, holy plate of the mammoth was a cheat. The max+ac+life was an awesome plate of the lion.
These items like Godly Plate of The Whale.. Do they exist or did they exist in previous versions of the game? Were they fixed in patch 1.09? Did they only exist on the battle net or were they on the single as well?
And what about lightforge?

D1 wow brought back memories!!
no love for the rogue. Many people were fans of the needler but i ended up finding a Mithril bow of swiftness. . 1-14 damage and fast attack
This was really cool to watch other than the fact that you could have done all of that in 1/10th of the time... Not trying to be an ass tho this was a nice video!
I remember finding a low dmg fire bow and beat the whole game with it. Goes to show you didn't need much lol
how do you get the henjo items ?
Man how did you get these items on v1.09?
Hi, Just watched your video and noticed you said you can not dup in helfire but you can it's just the items not gold hope this helps
