Cheat Codes

Windowed game

Start the game with the -w command line parameter to run it on a window on the desktop. To do this, right click the icon and select "Properties" at the bottom of the list. Next, where it states "Target:" go to the very end and add -w (outside the quotes). When you double click this specific icon, it will open in a 800 x 600 window size. When you play the game itself, it runs under the 640 x 480 size, unless you specify otherwise with the newer patches.

Sound debug

Press [Enter] to open the chat screen, then type SoundChaosDebug to hear a sound. To return to normal, repeat the code.

Unlockables

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 (including stash).

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. Note: This does not work with the +1 Skill book from Act 2, as you are only allowed to do it once.

Note: This trick also only works in an Open Battlenet game. Take the item to be duplicated and place it in your inventory. Then, save and exit the game. Next, come back to the game or join a different one. Drop the item you want to duplicate. Make a note of the game name and password, then sign off of your ISP - do not save and quit the game. Have another person in the game keep it open while you are logged off. Sign back on to your ISP, go back into the game, and pick the item that you dropped. It is also still in your inventory, so you now have two copies of that item.

Use the following trick to duplicate potions. You must be out in the Blood Moor. Buy enough potions to fill about half your inventory. While in the Blood Moor, drop potions until they completely surround you. When you are surrounded by potions, continue to drop them and they will just keep adding up in your inventory instead of dropping.

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. Note: v1.00 save files cannot be overwritten by v1.03.

You can have unlimited amount of an imbued item. This trick requires two computers or a one with two copies of the game running simutaneously, two different characters (for example, a Paladin and an Amazon). For example, if the Paladin has been granted an imbue award, but he wants two objects to be imbued (e.g. a shield and a scepter), make a copy of the Paladin and save the game. Then, go to Charsi and imbue the shield. Trade this shield to the Amazon for safe keeping. Exit, then copy the backup saved game you made earlier over the current one. Trade back your shield, and you can now have the scepter imbued and keep it. You now have unlimited imbues. The same can be done for socketed equipment. You can even make copies of your equipment to get more runes or life (the golden bird in Act 3 can be duplicated).
