Sorry for the reupload guys! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!! More announcements soon. Thank you for always being here with me over the years and sticking around. You guys are my heroes! - Xtimus
Glad to see you're still making content.
@@idmooseman its a reupload
@@GBEWgw2 2nd most subscribers of D2 content only to dbrunski and he hasn’t posted in a year.. no clue what ur talking about
Was curious to know if you would make Path of Exile content? i can see you covering some POE lore vids but even if you dont I enjoy your D2 content alot!
Xtimus are you keen for d2 remastered? Will you make new diablo videos?
Lets go, we are still here. D2 community is special. Supporting a 20 year old game b/c it's the best action RPG of all time.
Best game*** of all time.
First time diablo 2 player here, i regret never being able to play this 20 years ago :( so sad that i started on diablo 3 i almost want to puke at the thought of that shite
Still the shit!!!
Still here?
@@LeviAndFriends111 I’m still playing it over D4…waiting on PoE2 at this point
Am I the only one that gets goosebumps every time I hear that background music???? SOOOOOOOOOOOO many hours played on that game. One of the best of all times!
not the only one
"Scrolls go on belt" is still the most mind-blowing thing I ever discovered.
That was like 1of the 2 things i knew from the list. Well it's kind of a cheat, because i know it from a video clip 20 years ago that had me "mind-blown" when i saw it :D
you never played diablo 1? You could do it in D1, for me it was common knowledge but seems I was wrong :)
Shame he didn't explain why it's so useful knowing that your can do it. It removes all of the casting animation and doesn't involve changing spells.
The reason that's so important is when you're a sorceress teleporting to Baal in public games for example you can't really solo all of the enemies so you want to get a tp up fast, move away from TP so the tankier players can enter and help.
Every good farmer knows it is better to scrolls on belt than potions on endgame travincal farming as you can port to town and back in 1 sec rather than waiting for your merc to run around the wall in 5 secs lol
1:52 For some reason I've never seen that part of the game manual before, but it's a direct translation of an Old English poem called The Wanderer. I had never connected the two before!
Diablo 2 is one of those games where all of the perfect elements came together at the right time to create something incredibly deep, timeless, beautiful, and inspiring. It can't be replicated or improved upon, and to this day no other game has come close to replicating the formula properly. It's like the Mona Lisa of Games and will be marveled at for hundreds of years as an example of what humanity is truly capable of when it comes to this art form.
I know diablo 2 was unique but the diablo core is the D1 is more unique then diablo 2 couse the first diablo core is the dungeon crawler rpg, in the second game it was turn into action rpg game mostly.. Also for me sacred was a unique rpg hackn slash game too
It can't be replicated or improved upon? I don't think that. I just think too many people don't understand it enough to replicate it or improve upon it. We have plenty of mods for Diablo 2 that improve upon the game in different ways. New developers just don't want to make a whole new game from scratch without throwing in their own ideas, which haven't been tested by time.
@@NeflewitzInc
In making a game from the ground up that seeks to accomplish the same goals, you cannot hope to improve on the sum of this game's parts. It is a mechanical marvel melded to amazing artistry, both visual and audible.
Of course a resolution mod can improve the experience today. But I think you missed my point a touch. And all that really does is get you a little bit closer to the way you might have perceived experiencing it in the early years of its release.
Despite as well as the game will continue to hold up, it's still too bad you can't really go back in time to experience it as it was back then.
Those who didn't get to play it at the time can only imagine the impact it had. How mind blowing it was. One of those games that becomes more real and important than our boring reality, for many people.
I've played this game for over 20 years. I feel old lol.
@@cynthiavanswearingen4520 I know I'm old but I live as if I were immortal.
This is just crazy, how deep this game is. I have never thought in my childhood, that there is so much secret in d2. Amazing and terrifying also. Thanks for the video.
Great to have u back man
Horazon actually tells you that the true tomb is the one with the symbol missing... if you actually bother to read his journal. Kinda funny that people don't know that because no one ever actually reads it even though that is the quest objective haha
As far as i know, portal wont open if u dont read the journal))
@@bogdanstetskiv8313 doesn’t mean people actually read it though 🤷♂️
This! 💯 I'm so surprised this is almost considered a secret or at least something mindblowing 🤔🤦
Great to have you back on UA-cam making videos! Keep up the great content
I thought I knew everything but there were quite a few in here I didn’t know about. Well done!
The man the myth the legend! Welcome back
I didn't believe the last one and had to check it out for myself. That's crazy, wonder if there are more hidden stuff like that.
@FlyingMonkies325 In terms of solely character level, yes. However, if items comes into factor then not really. In this case, you are not getting geared, but I suppose at some point in development they wanted to add cross character stashing and this feature was meant to skip the already played before portions of the game. It took me 20 years to learn about this feature, I think if it was meant to be used more widely then it would have been more public.
@FlyingMonkies325 Well he said in the video that you’d have a set level for that act, that’s why when he opens the character menu you could see 160 stat points there
For doing basic modding adding the flags "-w -direct -txt" can be useful, but you would need certain tools to extract from the game's .mpq files
9:25 mind blown and why Xtimus deserves mad street cred.
Nice video. You can also put scrolls of identify in your belt along with town portals.
The return of the king
Nah the dislikes aren't high enough.
Meh he’s stuck in his ways and has been proven wrong multiple times.
@@kyledrake7313 feel like I'm missing out on something
@@gerex645 not missing anything just 30 year old man children whining about a dude on a 21 year old game
Glad to see the chat gem is still... working as intended.
Excellent video! My only note: "Scimitar" is pronounced "sim-uh-tar" or "sim-ih-tar." The "c" is silent and there's an extra "i" in there. :-)
I had to pause and rewind to make sure i heard him really say SKIMTAR.
hey man i thought thats how you said it until i was 27
He also spelled it wrong on screen: "Scimtar"
I played this for 10 years and never noticed that they were called "Scimtar" instead of "Scimitar". Is that really true?
@@Andrew-zq3ip it's properly spelled scimitar. This video spelled it scimtar
@14:15 - ASKERIS SYMBOLS
mud slowing down your character, imagine act 1 where it constantly rains, your stamina drains in like 10 seconds, and now you also have to walk even slower than normally. Thankfully that never got implemented.
So glad you are back X! Missed you!!!
New logo is fire my guy!!! Missed you much, glad to see some more stuff
When this game first came out I had enemy’s spawn and kill me in the act 1 rouge camp just like you talked about in act 2 but it was act 1 and it only ever happened once. I’ve tried looking things up about it but have never found anything on it
Been watching you on and off for a couple of years now I hope when resurrected releases you'll be there with builds I love your channel 😀👍
Good to see you back old friend!!
Glad to see you back Xtimus
Barbarian leap in town and monsters in act 2 I vividly remember. Pretty neat.
Yep! These are the two I remember.
How many 20+ year old games do you know that have been alive all this time? How you feel about Blizzard is one thing, but acknowledging this game as a masterpiece is undeniable
4:57 - Yep, I remember it from my childhood. I cant remember when exactly did it happen. If I remember correctly they were even able to harm you if you were close enough.
that last trick made my jaw drop, seriously
5:48 - Would have been cool if that paladin holy outfit was obtainable in game. For example you put The Standard of Heroes from Uber Tristram to cube, click transmute and then get permanent holy outfit so that you would look kinda like hero walking away from explosions in movies.
Great to have you back man.. any reason you stopped posting and have you been playing Path of Diablo?
Finally poked your head out of the dungeons! Good to see you well.
Very interesting stuff! Maybe now with D2R they should consider trying to add that bnet town/arena that would be incredible!
Back then I only played Druid, Barb and Necro. Now that I purchased D2R last December because it was 67% off, I get to play the classes that I missed out back then. Seeing that AOE frost attack from the Sorceress made me look forward to levelling her up. In fact, I created all classes in my account and will beat the game using all of them, I was addicted to this game back then, even more addicted to it now because of the new graphics and since I can't get away with using character editors anymore.
I thought here we go another video with nothing new. Somethings blew my mind, nice!
that woulda been really cool to be an eagle druid and be able to fly really fast like quin form league of legends
Diablo 1 and 2 are such beautiful games...
Hail to you Champion
Great stuff, thanks for sharing these!
D2R baby! Let's Go!!!! Can't wait for more awesome content, guides and builds! Woot!

About 42... That's not really a secret, when you open up a book it says that you can see false symbols of Tal Rasha's tomb in here
💯
I learned pretty early on how to tell which was the true tomb of Tal Rasha, and avoided it until I cleared out the rest :P
Even around the Circle your character is standing in right there you can see all 7 symbols, so it's not difficult to puzzle out which one is missing from the glowing glyphs around the place.
Wow the last one was so cool!
I have to say I knew at least 10/50 of this list, one of them was the hero flying scimitar
Right? Like, _everyone_ who’s a fan has known that, for years and years...
Such combative video titles are just stupid, especially when they’re so often very wrong.
I _may_ comment and give 👎 feedback, but I’d never sub to someone who uses them - _especially in 2021._
That was out quicker than Anthony Scaramucci, but at least he gave us Bill Heder’s impression of “The Mooch, Baby!”
13:03 • Is that door the only front-facing object in the game?
Arcane sanctuary entry portal
Hi your the reason I got back into d2 all this time after years of not playing just wanted to let ya know :)
Amazing! I've been playing this game for 16 years and I never knew any of these facts. Awesome work, X! And welcome back!
Glad to have u back mate! Will u b doing any more streams either on UA-cam or twitch?
Flat out, one of the best developed games of all time. Made by true enthusiasts long before gaming become such a money making business. They spent the time to truly go the extra mile, where as now it seems games have super accelerated deadlines with the thought process to get it released to make money then make fixes later
So many i didnt know about..hope you can play again man...love to see your content.
Thank you! Very soon I worked on a lot over the years and a lot of cool stuff on the way.
Concerning the symbols around the Summoner, Horazon's Journel right there explicitly states that those symbols are for the false tombs.
The guru has returned!
и ты тут))) привет
TL;DR, this game came out TWENTY years ago - anything I "knew" about it I've long forgotten. LOVE these vids, tell me 50 things I didn't know about shoeing my mule...
I'm surprised the trick to know which path Nihlathek is down wasn't on here. Everyone knows Arcane symbols not many know Nihl.
Same with catacombs exits trick and underground entrance
So much great info that I've never heard before and then he comes out with tp scrolls in the belt 😂😂👌 love it
Wow , wow wow ! Take it easy , welcome back ! amma miss for u content
Actually learned so much!
Great video 👍
Hope you are well!
Still at it!!! I thought this was a mistake-seeing NEW Xtimus content. Hell yeah!
OMG you r baaaaack finally, we missed you so bad
Most of these I did not know. Well done. ^.^
Only knew about two of these, so I learned a lot thanks :).
Again good to See U back :) 👍
I honestly hope they bring some of this cut stuff to D2R. Like guild halls, the Bnet town, the Gorgon monsters.
man i love xtimus with my morning coffee ! glad u back
Thanks glad to be back!
I've always wished there was a fan developed Diablo 2 version with all these missing quests & staff included, just like Crowbar's Black Mesa. That would be legendary...
We miss you xtimus. Still playing the game 2021.. been playing since 2003🥰
Come back xtimus! I would love to see you cover the remaster
Dude, having stuff change in power during nighttime is such a rad idea - why don't they use that all over?
Something you done see, or hear often... Was that the original Diablo game was sold to Sierra Entertainment, who made the exspandtion to Diablo 1. Very bizarre, and then Sierra Entertainment went out of business not very long after that...
They made awesome games, that had tons of replay value.
Great vid very interesting as always!
Played this game a lot when it came out as a kid and ever since. I was todays old when I learned I can put scrolls in the sash slot.
Wow actually a lot of stuff I didn’t know for once fair play
Reading all the guides theres like 50.000 things i didnt know 💪😂
How could people not know number 42, it’s literally what the text tells you when you click on it. Do people really click this thousands of times without realizing what it is telling you to do?
He's back
the ghost of Mephisto is quite common. Twice passing the normal I saw him, can be killed but will appear again. And may appear before M dies, so it's not accurate to say that its M's ghost. Just a minion.
Great list!
I knew some, but a lot I didn't, thanks!
glad youre back Xtimus , ignore the haters and lets get back in the groove!
Return of the king
wow welcomw back
Great channel sorry it took me so long to subscribe.
So stoked for the D2 Resurrected.
Where's your project diablo 2 guides?? The mod scene is killing it.
Welcome back!
Lord of destruction this game is the best
Xtimus, the sound OF diablo2 content creator in my mind, wb!
Absolute legend
been playing since it came out, still the best game ever, and there was a few i did not know surprisingly
We need transmog now that armors look sick also spartan helmets corinthian style need them
dope vid, thank you
8:56 “SPILT“
This information is pretty useful
Lets go! New Xtimus video!
Relate 10 in Diablo 3 during quest, where we must go to bastion fortress, monsters with it go to town.
Da man is back!
yeah it always felt weird that act 4 only has 3 quests and is the quickest to level through. did vanilla d2 run into deadline troubles?
Excellent video!
hello friend I am a big fan of yours ... you are congratulated for the work ... I would like to know if you have tried to make a murderer who uses runeword destruction ???
