How to Finish Diablo II Without Attacking a Single Enemy

If you were planning to revisit Blizzard's classic RPG, this might interest you. User DrCliche implemented a “pacifist” strategy in which he shows in a video how to finish Diablo II: Lord of Destruction without attacking any enemy.

The speedrunning community never ceases to amaze, finding clever and ridiculous ways to play our favorite games. This time, the chosen one is Blizzard's classic RPG, Diablo II, where user DrCliche shows us how to complete the Lord of Destruction expansion without attacking any enemy. To kill monsters, DrCliche equipped the Sorceress with armor, shields, and other gear that includes thorns, which automatically counterattack any enemy that damages her. He also used Shiver Armor, an armor that has a passive ability that deals cold damage to nearby enemies.

Diablo II: Lord of Destruction is already a fairly long game with five acts to overcome, but DrCliche has managed to finish the campaign in just 7 hours, 41 minutes, and 33 seconds in “pacifist mode.” The user explains on the site Reddit the rules to overcome the challenge, where he clarifies that you cannot perform any offensive action against the creatures (whether common enemies or bosses), nor can you summon an entity or hire a mercenary to fight for you. If you accidentally damage an enemy (something that happens very rarely when you change equipment), you have to do everything possible so it doesn't die. The most difficult part of the game, in this mode, is in Act 4.

This is because you must meet a series of requirements to improve your equipment, otherwise it would be totally impracticable (if not impossible) to continue. Undoubtedly, finishing games with new challenges is a tough nut to crack, like the one we already saw in Super Mario Bros. with a player playing blind, but if you are determined to implement this new strategy then don't think twice and dare to finish Diablo II: Lord of Destruction without attacking any enemy.
