Diablo 1 + Hellfire Expansion - Rogue Playthrough - Part 1: Welcome To Tristram

With the end of one series marks the beginning of another, and for my next series I decided to play a retro PC game that I wanted to play on my channel for a long time but never had the means to record until now! Welcome to Diablo 1, with the Hellfire expansion included! Buy the game on GOG here: https://www.gog.com/game/diablo

Diablo is a dungeon-crawling action RPG with procedurally-generated dungeons and random sets of quests that are never the same each time you play it (except for special quest areas), allowing for massive replayability. Adding on to this factor, you can also play as three different classes: the Warrior (the physical tank), the Rogue (the ranged attacker), and the Sorcerer (the magician). The Hellfire expansion also adds the Monk class (a melee attacker with a staff). I will be playing as the Rogue in this playthrough, though I may do separate playthroughs of the other classes later.

The setting of Diablo includes the mortal realm which is the world of Man as well as the High Heavens and the Burning Hells. After eons of war between angels and demons, the ascension of man prompted the three Lords of Hell (including Diablo himself) to seek victory through influence, prompting their exile into the mortal realm. There, they sowed chaos, distrust, and hatred among men until a group of magi, called the Horadrim, trapped them in enchanted crystals called "Soulstones". Diablo's soulstone was buried deep in the earth and a monastery was built over the site.

Generations passed and the purpose of the monastery was forgotten. A small town named Tristram sprang up next to the monastery's ruins. When King Leoric rebuilt the monastery as a cathedral, Diablo manipulated its archbishop, Lazarus, to destroy his soulstone prison. Diablo subsequently possessed the king, sending out his knights and priests to battle against peaceful kingdoms, and then possessed the king's son, Prince Albrecht, filling the caves and catacombs beneath the cathedral with creatures formed from the young boy's nightmares.

Tristram became a town of fear and horror, where people were abducted in the night. With no king, no law, and no army left to defend them, many villagers fled. The game starts when the player's character arrives in Tristram. Several of the remaining townsfolk assist the player such as Deckard Cain the Elder, Griswold the Blacksmith, Pepin the Healer, and Adria the Witch. The labyrinth under the Cathedral descends from the dungeon/church, to the catacombs, followed by the caves, and finally Hell itself, each with a mixture of the undead, animals, and demons. The Hellfire expansion also adds two new areas: the Hive and the Crypt.

In Part 1, I complete my first quest, which involves Tristram's water supply being poisoned. There is a secret passage hidden somewhere in Level 2. Go in there and kill all the enemies within, then talk to Pepin to complete the quest. Your reward is the Ring of Truth.
