Diablo and Hellfire Hints
How do I get the Secret Quests?
The Secret Quests and Characters are only available if you do two things:
1. Get the Version 1.01 upgrade for Hellfire from the Sierra webpage. Follow their directions to finish the upgrade of Hellfire. This fixes a few bugs in Hellfire, so it is a good idea anyway.
2. Create a file named COMMAND .TXT in your Hellfire containing the text
"cowquest theoquest bardtest barbariantest" but without the quote marks.
The next time you begin Hellfire, the extra quests and extra character types will be available. You may have to start a new game with your character to be able to complete the quests, though.
