About

After the demonic brothers Diablo and Mephisto were finally defeated, the heroic adventurer who has accomplished that feat returned to the Pandemonium Fortress, summoned by Archangel Tyrael. The third evil brother, Baal, has survived by obtaining his Soulstone. He has raised an army and attacked Mount Arreat in the Barbarian Highlands. The protagonist must venture there and defeat Baal once and for all.

Diablo II: Lord of Destruction is an expansion to Diablo II. It adds Act V which concludes the overarching story, offers a new area with more powerful enemies and six quests to complete. It also enhances and modifies the base game by adding the following:

  • Two new character classes: female Assassin (has access to martial arts, shadow techniques, and traps) and Druid (can shape-shift and summon animals to fight on his side)
  • Companions can stay with the player character for the duration of the entire game. They also level up on their own, can be equipped, healed, and resurrected
  • Additional weapons and items
  • The quest item Horadric Cube allows creation of custom items
  • Runes can be placed into sockets and provide further bonuses when arranged in a particular order
  • Charms can be found and placed in the inventory for various benefits
  • Jewels have random bonuses
  • The player can switch between two sets of weapons and armor
  • An expanded stash for storing items, two times the size of the original one
  • 800x600 resolution is available alongside the former 640x480
