- Diablo I Speed Run done in 3 minutes and 12 seconds.
Class: Sorcerer
Found @ www.speeddemosarchive.com/Diablo.html
Best time as the sorcerer: 0:03:12 by Maciej 'groobo' Maselewski on 2009-01-16, done in 27 segments appended to one file.
This Video was not made by me! I found this on www.speeddemosarchive.com
It is kind of funny to see "world record speed run" then right when the vid starts, you just see this sorcerer calmly walking around.
I think he might have played this game before recording this run.
2:34
"I sense a soul in search for answers..."
Yeah... that would be me. I... don't understand!
Now I want to play Diablo again. This game and Doom actually gave me chills playing them back in the day. Of course being 7 or 8 years old helped that.
Say "I sense a soul in search of answers" one more time and i swear i'll fucking punch my screen.
i think i speak on behalf of most people here, in saying WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?
I woke up today and became a demon slayer in 6 minutes...
The cinematics and storytelling of the first game are so campy and lovable. RIP old days of gaming.
those were some nice loading screens :D
Pretty obvious it was save stated. The chances of getting all those stairs that close is astronomical.
I miss this game so much
Ring is "heaven ring of vulture"(magic) stats is -22 life , + 19 mana - Staff is Naj's Puzzler (unique) stats is +20 magic, +10 dexterity, resist all +%20, 87 charges teleport, -28 hit points
Diablo: WTF!...
I had forgotten how slow you moved in the original Diablo.
And I, idiot, was running through the whole levels...
WHAT THE FUCK THIS GAME IS SCARY
the guys who made d1 + d2 are not the guys who made d3
Still looks and sounds better than cartoon diablo 3.
you're allowed to use save states. He just saves right before he enters a level. When he enters the level and the door isn't right next to him, he reloads the save and enters the level again.
I feel like an ssd could probably improve the record to 3mins...
So he just spliced together the best possible odds for random level generation and random item drops (the staff he dupes, the ring he finds and the helm that makes him invincible due to the negative hp glitch.)
I never played that game with sorcerer, but damn that energy shield is OP as fuck!
Ohh thank God. I honestly thought I was the only one who likes D2 a hell of a lot better. D1 is kind of like the first time you see your future wife, you like her a lot and all. D2 you fall in love and get engaged. D3 You get married and she puts on 100 lbs. Sorry if anyone disagrees... Just how I feel.
It's a segmented run, so the "stairs" thing is just "save scum until you get what you want."
I played this game for many years and I've never seen all stairs like that. You'll understand my doubt of the legitimacy of this record.
Edit: Never mind, I didn't know it was reloaded 50 zillion times.
0:42 to 0:46, Sorcerer not minding the dying soldier, epic.
I am not a fan of segmented speed runs at all. That is what this is; the runner basically replayed several segments many, many times, waiting for optimal stairs, drops, and monster rolls. Each segment usually starts at a loading screen and ends right before the next.
This makes it into a psuedo-TAS (tool assisted run), yet Speed Demos Archive still allows it. In short, this is nothing more than luck manipulation, and is nowhere near possible in real time.
What the hell is happening in this video..
Chipotle diarrhea makes more sense than this.
im pretty sure ive had the stairs like that for myself once before
Thats right look at the description it´s a segmented run.
Diablo: S-Sanic...?
*dies*
Items that gave you minus health and brought you below 0 made you invincible. It was a bug in the game that people used to just cheese the game.extremely easy to do.
watching that walk is like watching water boil
As for the "teleport to end" thing, that's when luck manipulation stops, and teleport makes short shrift of all levels due to a bug. If you enter a level, hold your cursor at the (for example) "down to level 11" stairway and then cast teleport during the loading screen, it will remember that teleport as pointed to the ending stairway. So when you enter level 11, it will cast teleport and automatically send you to level 12.

@ShiningforceHero
It's called a brute force method where he rerolls Diablo's RNG seed billions of times before actually creating the game. This is why every stairway is right beside the next, Naj's Puzzler (his teleport stick) just *happens* to drop at the earliest point possible, and other hilarities. Reverse-engineering the RNG enables you to create a game instance that does whatever you want it to do.
This is madness !!
this is better than diablo 3. imho.
But he didnt kill the butcher!
Bugs may remove the challenge from a simple playthrough, but pretty much all decently challenging games are VERY HARD to speedrun. The glitches are there to lower the time, not to make it easier. Just try duping at the insane speed groobo does. You will fail, over and over.
About imagery "cut out" -- well, this is called save/load. "27 segments appended to one file" so this required 27 saves.
_continued_in_the_next_post_
Who cares?This game still blows D3 out of the water in terms of atmosphere.
@ShiningforceHero I don't know Diabolo at all, but I just want to mention that this is a SEGMENTED speed run. So he can try every scene as long as he wants and cut things together afterwards.
Wait... u can defeat the end boss with low level equipment?
WTF do speedrunners do with their life.
I agree with you! I was visiting my cousins back in 1996 just after the game was launched and went to buy the game the next day. One of my all time favorites and had two friends we used to play together with modem connections lol. Now looking back the game lacks running and variety of items and what not, but it never bothered me back then. It was best game ever. (still is)
Now, some of you might question the reason why SDA rules (and _any_ speedrun rules, for that matter) allow glitches, game breaking bugs, (sometimes) luck manipulation, and what not. Well, that's because they're SPEEDRUNS. Not playthroughs. Speedruns. They're different as night and day.
A bug may make PLAYING TO WIN easy. But groobo is PLAYING FOR SPEED.
_continued_in_the_next_post_
and Roy Campbell from Metal Gear Solid ;P
That's also luck manipulation. The damage you/enemies receive is "from X to XX" and the exact number is "random". You can manipulate the damage you or enemies receive, so that you receive minimum damage, while enemies receive maximum damage in the possible damage ranges.
So, the only edgy thing groobo does is the negative health glitch because it's FIXED on 1.07 which means he played an earlier version. According to the SDA rules, it's fine.

They buy their food in the same way, they use their vehicles the same way, use alternate routes as much as possible, they eat fast food all day and like psychobro said with the rest of their time they do speedruns ;)
I would bury that freaking stone in the Earth's Core
Screw my life
That was some masterful duping.
Can someone explain how to get mana shield and teleport that fast?
ahhh.....what just happened?
best narrator of all time in the final cutscene.....
This game is fantastic!
If you were really a Diablo fan you would play this one and not actually care about how it looks like! It looks good, dark and evil with the most fantastic soundscape of the `90s!
Diablo II is just bigger and more brighter! The third one is just cartoony!
RIP Blizzard North!
Where the stairs are is determined randomly. in this case he has the best possible.
who else thought the title said diablo 3 in 12 seconds.
Npc: Hello!
Sorc: .I.
The sanctity of this, the smell, it is hot down here. I sense a soul in search of answers I have no spell ready. your foolish quest your madness ends, post-modern poem
I do not have a spell ready!
The hero thought that the only way to contain diablo was to have the soul stone implanted into some one of strong mind and body. The idea being that some one who was powerful enough to defeat diablo would be able to resist his powers and temptation longer than any other mortal.
480p and it looks exactly how Diablo normally looks. :D
That, friend, is duping:
1. Drop an item.
2. Walk toward it to pick it up.
3. Select a potion on your hotbar right when you pick up the item.
4. Sell for unlimited profit.
if you like diablo and haven't played divine divinity play it! its an amazing game, just got re-released to and its on steam for 6 dollars i hope everyone gets a chance to play it. it remains to this day one of my all time favorite games! hope you give it a try!
I gotta wonder how the hell the person playing got so lucky with the floor layouts there. If the floors are randomly generated every time, how the hell did the stairs to the next floor down show up right next to him every time?
@jogonexon the warrior becomes the wanderer the rogue becomes blood raven and the sorcerer becomes the summoner i think
If you save during a cutscene, an animation, or a speech said by an NPC, then when you load, the end of the cutscene/animation/speech is not going to be there. Since the 27 segments were all appended to one file, the save/load was cut out -- and rightfully so, due to the way SDA times. The loading screens for levels are still there, but apparently cut from timing. (otherwise, 3:12 is a few seconds too short)
All levels are randomized. So if you start a new game, the levels won't be like the last time.
--> It's possible that the next entrance is right next to you, but its also possible that you have to run xx miles until you've found it.
this blows my mind.. how did u get all the random factors to play for you ? like having all the stairs next to each other and the exact drops u needed. u just repeated this 100000000 times, till u got lucky ?
Nice speedrun bro.
@Draknfyre wrong... the summoner has his own part in Diablo lore which goes a LONG way back before the first game... you should check that out.
well done groobo
@jutsin928 there are torrents for the game (the only reason i say this is cause no pc shop or blizz sells this or emulates for newer pc so it seems to be up for grabs if they refuse to sell it to us) I forgot how freaking hard the game is to play and start up again.
i played this when i was a kid 12 years ago, so much found memories... people who think this game is lame because of the graphics.. i agree... but u didn't grow up in the old days... this game back then was and IS still soo much win !!!
i had so much fun playing this game, as well as 2 and LOD
@Okurion His HP don't drop, because he uses an ability called mana shield. So when you take damage your mana drops instead of your HP.
I call creep and save with the stairs.
i miss that game
@Trollek1984 I got D2 and D1 on my computer, and I play D1 A LOT more often than I play D2... I haven't even beaten hell Baal on 2 different characters in D2 yet, but I have beaten the entire D1 about 100+ times on each character, without using any speedrun methods, and killing every single monster in the game.
In fact, I just beat it with a Rogue again today, and got to level 14 w/ Sorcerer. Plan on playing some more after my midterms later this week.
@KrutoyPostowoy run function is added in Hellfire, but only in town. I think that run function in second Diablo is a cheat to avoid enemies.
What in the fuck.
Soulstone: Apply directly to the forehead!!!!!! Soulstone: Apply directly to the forehead!!!!!! Soulstone: Apply directly to the forehead!!!!!! Soulstone: Apply directly to the forehead!!!!!!
@jjjjjjkl He tried and tried and tried, until he got it right, no matter how much time he were to spend on it. Thats the most important thing about being a speedrunner
Technically when using a glitch in a speed run it's not considered cheating.
he sticked that thing in his head thats maybe wy diablo came back in diablo 2
That's a nice TAS run.
Stop saying he's cheating, every TAS runners abuse bugs, and this game is filled with them.
This was ABSURD. How is this possible?!
i dont think this should count
he had invincibility
@TheDragon2569 ya but he doesnt really start til about 20 seconds in.. although that still makes it 3:20... maybe he just takes off some loading times?
i miss this game
IT IS HOT DOWN HERE
If people can do this. . . why the hell were they in so much trouble in the first place?
@quietlily33 This game is far from stupid. When this game was new it was "the shit" and one of the best games I have ever played. Just because you weren't born when this came out doesn't make it stupid.. It's an excellent game!
5:02 onwards - Colonel Campbell
There were plenty of PK's back then.
The only "edgy" thing he does is using the negative health glitch at the end. I mean, it was fixed in 1.07 which means he specifically searched for an earlier version. Some websites allow such trickery, some do not. SDA allows it, and groobo was playing under SDA rules here.
As for 1:30 and "how does he know what they drop"...
_continued_in_the_next_post_
what upsets me is nobody has the guts to do a speedrun with a warrior
I have a feeling Diablo 3 is not going to be any where as cool as this game.
i think gamers who played D3 didn't quiet sure know that you did there.
what are you talking about?...its practically the same game except you actually have to go out and find spells to gain rather then retrieve them from simple level ups, plus I think the graphics in diablo 1 where slightly better then 2...not to mention the nostalgia of its music!
@prexx89 That was Prince Albrecht that Diablo had possessed.
