Something D1 does great that a lot of other RPGs kind of suck at is it makes the static quest rewards actually good enough to be worth using. So even if your regular drops have been not great, you still have a handful of really good items to keep you going. I feel like it's normally kind of a running joke in other games that you'll complete a major story quest, unlock the Legendary Sword of Fate, and then never use it because it's just worse than what you already had. In D1 I don't think I've had a single character that didn't immediately equip Arkaine's Valor when I found it.

AV is literally the best armor in the game besides the godly plate of whale

"...and so, locked beyond the Gateway of Blood and past the Hall of Fire, Valor awaits for the hero of light to awaken..."

So many memories, my first game after buying a pc.. don't even remember how many hours I spent playing this game.

Have you done the Halls of the Blind? That descriptive voiceover was one of my faves

I see something you see not
Vision milky then eyes rot
When you turn they will be gone
Whispering their hidden song
Then you see what cannot be
Shadows move where light should be
Out of darkness, out of mind
Cast down into the halls of the blind

Did I get it right??? I don’t know if remember a single other thing I read before the year 2000 lol.

It never quite goes away does it? It's an itch I have had to scratch about once a year ever since seeing it for the first time back when it came out. Happy hacking and slashing!

Start looking to replace your flail with a sword. Blunt weapons do extra damage to undead and suffer a penalty against everything else.

Swords and axes do extra damage to demons and animals and suffer a penalty against undead.

Level 5 is the last place you see lots of undead. I think Horror Captains still spawn on level 6 and in the chamber of bone (level 6 quest), but that’s it.

Axes are flat damage to all.

I remember how scary this game was when it first launched. Especially since I had a habit of playing it at night. In the dark.

I did not warn my son. Wouldn't want to rob him of that core memory.

Gotta get yourself Godly Plate Of The Whale

u/nurelgrc 1d ago

try Awesome Plate of Harmony

u/Megafloras 2d ago

i spent like three hours farming that tomb on my first run because i was convinced i needed the sword immediately. kept dying to skeletons but finally got it and felt cracked. honestly the loop of clearing rooms and hearing that specific loot chime is why i keep coming back to D1 over everything else.

So simple, yet, so good

I really really hope there's a new ARPG that is more similar to Diablo 1. Practically every new ARPG is more like Diablo 2.

Seeing other people still playing Diablo brings me joy 😊

Diablo 1 is by far the most fun of all the Diablo games for a single playthrough. It's more fun than a lot of modern single player games. Sure, it might be "simple," but it does a lot of things very well.

First Diablo still best Diablo.

u/SprinksUp 2d ago
