Diablo and Hellfire Hints

The Monk

  • Hellfire adds a new character to the list of available character types, the Monk.  You can think of the Monk as a good blend of the Warrior and Sorcerer types.  The Monk specializes in bare handed and bare foot combat, so be careful not to slow him down with any bulky weapons.  If you choose any weapon at all, look at using a good staff.  A Monk can take out two or three enemies almost at once with a good staff.

    Also, be careful of adding any heavy armor to him, since his armor class will go down if you slow him down.  Arkaine's Valor is a good armor to use, if you can find it.  Dexterity and Strength are the Monk's best attributes -- he can attain 150 in each.  But be sure to work in a little Magic too -- the Monk can get to a respectable 80 in magic .

    The Monk has a special skill, Search, which works just like the Search spell except it uses no Mana.  With the version 1.01 patch to Hellfire, this is a valuable addition, as you can see items on the map view, even when they are out of site in the normal view.

    As your magic improves, work on getting a good Mana Shield.  This will compliment the Monk's attack power by providing defence without the bulk of armor.  If you develop your character right, you can kill Diablo the first time through the levels with a Monk.  Just remember to bring lots of Full Mana potions for your Mana Shield!
