Please note that this Guide is for Diablo 1 (and Hellfire) only!

Welcome! You have just reached the home of Jarulf's Guide to Diablo and Hellfire, an in-depth Guide covering almost all areas of the game.

Note: Due to the size of the document and the numerous tables in it, it may, especially on slower computers, take quite a while for Word to open the document. So please have patience when you open it!

Jarulf's Guide to Diablo and Hellfire is an extensive compilation of data, formulas and information about almost all parts of the game. It has no real strategy, although it is a good tool to help, along with playing experience, in developing strategies on your own. In the Guide you will find:

• Detailed information about the characters you can play, including formulas and information about all stats, such as damage, weapon speed, experience points, and hidden bonuses.
• Complete information about all base items, unique items, quest items, prefixes, and suffixes in the game including levels, occurrences, price information, and more.
• Item generation information explaining how items are created by the game, both in the dungeons and in town.
• Detailed information about spells (from players and monsters), mana cost, and magic requirements.
• Detailed information about traps including damage and occurrence.
• Complete monster data for all monsters in the game including: HP, level, AC, To Hit, Dam, Res/Imm, Experience points, Size, activity times, and attack type. Of course, for both single and multi-player and for all difficulty levels.
• Complete information and data about all unique monsters, including special monsters like the Butcher, Diablo, the Defiler, and Na Krul (the last two only exist in Hellfire).
• Detailed information about monster AI.
• A Detailed chapter explaining how combat is handled.
• Complete list of all shrines and their effects.
• A quick walk through of all quests.
• List of all commands on Battle.net and other Battle.net related information.
• much more....a total of more than 170 pages.

Of course, all information is for both Diablo and Hellfire.

The Guide is available as a Word 7.0 (Ms Office 95) document or in PDF v1.2 (Acrobat 3.0) format. It is formatted for standard A4 paper (using 2.5 cm margins) and Apple LaserWriter. If you are using any other paper size and/or printer you might have to adjust the margins of the document for best result (as well as changing paper size if needed).

There are a few people that, without their help, this guide would never have been what it is, and I would like to take the opportunity to thank them here.

If you find any errors, want to change anything or feel you should be here but isn't, please contact me (see address at the bottom of the page).

Here you find some links to programs that you may need in some way or another to unpack and read my Guide.
