Run game in a window  -  To run the game in a window on your desktop, enter "-w" at the command line. So, if you have a shortcut on the deskop you will want to put the code in this way:

"C:\Program Files\Diablo2\Diablo2.exe" -w

NOTE - the directory where the game is installed will vary per computer. Also, be sure to put the -w in after the quotes.

Retrieving Items from Dead Corpse  -  If you die and cannot make it back to retrieve the items from your dead body, simply save, exit, and return to the game. Your corpse will appear in town and you may retrieve your items easily.

Secret Cow Level?
In order to find the secret cow level you are going to need a few things.

1.Wirts Leg
2.Beaten the Game
3.Tome of Town Portal (with scrolls)
4.The Horadric Cube

Once you have beaten the game go to the Rogue Encampment in Act I, then put Wirts Leg and a Tome of Town Portal (This has worked with random ammounts of scrolls in the tome) into The Horadric Cube. Once you hit transmute they should disappear, but once you close your inventory window there is a red portal that will lead you to the Secret Cow Level. This ONLY works in the Rogue Encampment in Act I.
A Cacophony of Sound - During gameplay, press enter. Then type: SOUNDCHAOSDEBUG to hear an uproar of voices and sounds. To turn it off, type it again.

Claim Your Items After Death - Normally when you die, your corpse will remain where you croaked, surrounded by whatever killed you. To avoid this, after you die Save and Exit the game. Now your corpse and possessions can be picked up in the safety of the town.

Easy Way to Up Gems - If you have a particular gem that you wish to increase (such as raising a chipped ruby to a flawed ruby) then this trick is for you.

1. Find a gem shrine, but don't click on it.
2. Then put the gem that you wish to increase in your inventory, but make sure no other gems are present in you inventory. It would even be smart to remove any items that you are wearing that contain gems.
3. Then when you have everything above finished click on the gem shrine.
4. The gem that you had in your inventory will be on the ground but it will be increased .

For example: If you had a flawed ruby in you inventory and you clicked on the gem shrine, you flawed ruby will be changed into a ruby!

Save Yourself From Certain Death - If you are about to die and have no Potions, simply press ESC, then Save and Exit the game. When you boot up again, you'll find yourself in the safety of the town. Now you can buy health, repair items and go to a more manageable location to gain levels.

Avoid no-win situation - Press [Esc] when facing imminent death, then save and exit the game. Load the game again to start in town, where you can buy weapons, life etc.

Quick belt item access - If you want to get the items in your belt quickly, press [Esc] to pause game play, move your mouse over the object you want to use, then press [Esc] to resume the game. Then, immediately click on the item you want to use.

Gain gold and items quickly - Travel past the Blood Moor and look for a cave. The cave has two levels, with a golden chest somewhere at the second level. Inside are usually health potions, mana potions, scrolls of town portal or identify, unidentified weapons and armor, and sometimes even a rare item that can be sold for a great deal of money. If you identify the item and it is something that you do not want, sell it. Save and exit the game. The next time the game is loaded, the chest will still be there with different items. This can be done as many times
as needed.

More gold for items - Never sell or even pick up items that are low quality, cracked, etc. They give you less money and take up space. Only sell Enchanted bows because they cannot be repaired. Always repair items before selling to get more money. Armor in general gives you more money -- always pick up and sell it, especially Heavy Armor. Keep your inventory clean by having a row of potions along the bottom, a Tome of Identify and a Tome of Town Portal on the far left so they take up less space, and a key bunch. Keep as much space open as
possible. You may feel very compelled to hoard potions, but it is more profitable to keep space open.

More space - Acquire the Horadric Cube and keep it in your inventory. It only takes four spaces and gives you twelve spaces when it is open, allowing you to carry more items for your
collection.

Unlimited gold - On Act 1, play through the game until you get to the Countess quest. In the Forgotten Tower on level 5 of the dungeon, you will find several rooms containing large masses of gold. After defeating the Countess and collecting all the treasure, save and exit the game. Reload and return to the Forgotten Tower on level 5. The gold should be there again.

Unusable items - If you have a weapon that you cannot use, throw it on the floor and put something else in your hand that is usable. Then, open the inventory and pick up the unusable item. Put it in your hand and will now be usable.

Keep item in next game - After you kill Diablo and have some time before the game ends, if you do not have any room in your inventory open the inventory and pick something up. When the game ends you will start a new game with that item.

Safe gold storage - If your stash is full of gold and you do not want to lose everything if you get killed, drop all your gold beside your stash or somewhere in town. You can go out and fight without worrying, but must pick up your gold again before you save and exit.

Easy experience - Ally with a high level friend in Battlenet. When battling, just stay back and let your friend do all the work.

Safe gamble - To get a gold item (rare) when you gamble, make sure you have at least 10,000 gold. Save and exit the game. Return to the same character and press [Alt] + [Tab] when in town. Once at the Windows Desktop, copy the game's save folder to the desktop or another location. Click on the minimized Diablo 2, go to Gheed and gamble. If you do not get a rare item, save and exit. Press [Alt] + [Tab], delete the current save folder, and copy the backup save folder from your desktop or other location back into the game folder. Click on the Diablo 2
game, return to the same character, and repeat.

Quick restore - When you are near death, save and exit the game -- make sure you are in Rouge's Encampment. Then, talk to Akara. She will give you full life and full mana.

Barabarian:

Cow level - Whirlwind is a necessity. Keep whirlwinding around the edges of the swarms of cows and always have a few rejuvenation potions in your belt in case you get stuck in the middle of them. Remember to kill the cow king because he will drop either a rare, set, or unique item.

Necromancer:

Using items in Act 1 - Because gems in the beginning of the game are usually more precious than any unique/rare item you may find, get a socketed bardiche and fill it with chipped or flawed rubies or sapphires. For boots and gloves, try to go for + to gold from enemies because gold in Act 1 will allow you to buy useful items in Act 2. For rings and amulets, lean towards + to life Mana or Attack ratings. For armor and helm, try to get the best defense. However if you find something that has kicking abilities, do not hesitate to sacrifice the few defense points
in difference. For belts, the more slots the better. In skills, + to strength. In abilities, +2 raise skeleton, +1 to amp damage, +2 to clay golem, + 1-2 to bone armor.

Stronger skeletons - Summon your maximum number of skeletons, then find a skill shrine and click on it. Your maximum skeleton summoning ability should be doubled. Start summoning skeletons again. You should have double your number of skeletons and they will be twice as good in everything than your first skeletons. When your skill shrine power runs out, the weaker ones will die, leaving you with the strong ones.

Easy cow kill - Use neckroman's corpse explosion on some of the cows in the cow level. You can kill over twenty cows with only four casts of this spell, in a hell difficulty. .

Easy Gems - Note: You need to be at level 24 or higher for this trick. When you start the game, save your skills when you level. Distribute a couple to Clay Golem (2 or 3) and Golem Mastery (4 or 5) . When you reach level 18, place one skill on Bone Spear and Blood Golem each (every time you level ). Play the game until you reach the Council in Act 3. Let your Golem fight the Council while you sit behind him, shooting them with the Bone Spear. This should kill them quickly. The Council should give you one or more Gems/Skulls. Continue until you
gain the desired amount of Gems.

Remove minions - Use this trick when facing enemies that can resurrect other creatures, for example the Shaman. Cast the "Raise Skeleton", "Raise Skeleton Mage", or anything that will destroy the corpse, on the dead creature. His Shaman will not be able to bring him back to life.

Blood Golem/Iron Maiden combo - Once you get the use of the Blood Golem, send it into battle and cast Iron Maiden on the monsters attacking it. This will give you great amounts of health instantly. Blood Golem gives you, and it, health for all damage it deals, and Iron Maiden causes monster who attack to deal themselves 200% damage back. Since the Blood Golem considers the 200% damage to be from it, this gives you lots of health. It works very well since all the monsters kill themselves.

Paladin:

Increased damage - Build up Charge to increase damage. All you need is a ring that has mana steel.

Better shield defense - Put perfect amethysts in your shield to raise its defense. For example, getting an ancient shield with three perfect amethysts will add 86 to the defense.

Protection from Diablo - Place three perfect diamonds in a Gothic shield for maximum protection against all of Diablo's attacks. There are several levels of gems: chipped, flawed, gem type, and perfect type. With the Horadric Cube you can make the next better classification by putting three gems of the same type and class in the Cube and transmuting them. This results in one of a higher classification.

Defeating Diablo - If you manage to get Diablo near a corner when he attacks you, simply trap him there . If you have enough Life Steal (at least 15%) and Lightning Resist (maximum), you steal enough life with every swing that you can defeat him without using a healing potion.

Better shield defense - Put perfect amethysts in your shield to raise its defense. For example, getting an ancient shield with three perfect amethysts will add 86 to the defense.

Easier rare items - Find and equip two Rings Of Fortune (increases the chance to get a better item), a socketed Helm, two gems of Topaz (best if they are perfect), Gloves Of Fortune, Boots Of Fortune and an Amulet Of Fortune and equip them. With all that equipped, the least amount you should have is 60%, but you may get higher.

Getting rid of chipped gems - When you have too much chipped gems, simply use the Horadric Cube that you find on Act 2 on three of the same kind of gem. You will get one single upgraded gem.

Change enemies - If enemies in a certain area, such as Hell, are too tough restart the game. Enemies such as Flesh Spawners, Stygian Hags, and the Hell beetles can spawn dozens of creatures in seconds. After restarting (exit, save, load, and play), check the area and repeat if needed. The Hell beetles are usually replaced by Doom Knights and Venom Lords, and the Hags are usually replaced by the same. This may also work with other areas.

No corpse monsters - Every character has a ability than get rid of or prevent the creation of a corpse.

Unlimited imbued items - After installing v1.00, play until Charsi offers to imbue something for you. Save and exit the game. Then download patch v1.03 and install it. Join a TCP/IP or open Battle.net game with the same character. Imbue something, then give it to a trusted player. After exiting, return as the same character, and you will be able to imbue again.

Unlimited one way portal - Cast a Town Portal from a safe location, then take the portal into town. Use the waypoint system and run to get back to your last location. This allows you to use the portal to go back into town an unlimited number of times as long as you do not use it from town to return to where you were previously.

Cow level - First, successfully complete the game. Then you have the Horadaric Cube, obtain "Wert's Leg" in Tristram (where you go to rescue Deckhard Cain). Go to the northwest part of the town and search the boy's body. Place both Wert's leg and a Tome of Town Portal in the Horadaric Cube, and it will open a portal to a hidden level filled with axe carrying cows. Do not go through the portal until you are over level 35 because the cows are quite numerous and strong.

If you create a portal to the secret Cow level, do not kill the Cow King. If you do not, the same character will be able to create a portal there again repeatedly. However, if you or anyone else kills the Cow King, and you created the portal, you will not be able to do it again. Note: You can get another leg from Wirt as long as you do not have one in your possession.

Easy cow level experience - When you desire to activate the secret cow level, save and exit first. Start a multi-player game with one other person, preferably of a different character type, one distance, one close. You will gain more experience from it and have more fun. If you are a close attacker, have some damage before going into battle with the cows. Use a healing potion and attack. As you take damage, the potion will continue to work. This strategy can be used for mana and on other monsters.

Duplicating items - Note: This only works on Open Battlenet, as the characters need to be saved on your computer. This trick also requires two computers with two copies of Diablo 2. Get the items to be duplicated. Copy the "Save" folder from the Diablo 2 folder of that computer and paste it on your desktop. Go online with both computers and meet in a game. Give the items to be duplicated to the second computer, then save and exit. Press [Alt] + Tab] on the first computer to switch to Windows and copy the "Save" folder from your desktop back to its original location, overwriting its current contents. Return and join the other computer in the game. You will now have all your original items and the other computer will have a copy of
them.

Avoid death - Press [Esc] when you are about to die, then save and exit the game. When you reload, your game you will be at the starting location.

Moving hand - Press [Esc] during game play. Allow the game to idle at that screen and the hand will begin moving after a few seconds.
