Diablo and Hellfire Hints

Skeletons

  • Skeletons are a common problem on the upper levels.  They come in two flavors, archer and fighter.  The archer types are the worse of the two, because you can take a lot of damage from a group of distant archers while fighting a group of monsters hand-to-hand.  You can use Holy Bolt against any undead foe with great effect, especially against the archers.  Try not to stay in one spot too long, since this will make them miss you more often.  As a simple Warrior, just run up to them and club them to bits as quickly as possible.

    The normal skeletons just come straight at you.  If you are fighting a mixture of carvers and skeletons, concentrate on the skeletons.  Each time you kill one, the carvers will get scared and run off for a while, giving you a chance to finish off the other skeletons without interference.
