  ===The Interface===<div style="float:right; clear:right; text-align:right; background-color:#1A0303; padding:2px 4px 4px 4px; color:white;">(Page 11)</div>The game screen in Diablo is divided into two main sections, the Play Area and the Interface Bar. The Play Area displays the immediate environment around your character, including any other creatures or items that are within your character’s line of sight. You can zoom in on your character by pressing the '''Z''' key on the keyboard. Press '''Z''' again to return to normal view. {|align="right" style="clear:right;"

Once you have looked over your hero’s statistics, close the Character Information screen by clicking the [CHAR] button, or pressing ''C '' on the keyboard.  ===Inventory Screen===To see what equipment your character is currently carrying, you will want to examine your character’s inventory. To open the Inventory screen, either click the [INV] button, or press the I key on the keyboard. A silhouette of your hero will appear along with several boxes to represent wielded/worn equipment, as well as items stored in your backpack.<div style="float:right; text-align:right; background-color:#1A0303; padding:2px 4px 4px 4px; color:white;">(Page 14)</div>{|align="right" style="clear:right;"|<div style="text-align:center;">''“The only future Peace has to<br />offer is War…”''</div>|} '''Head''' For wearing caps, helmets, crowns and the like. '''Torso''' This displays the overall armor that you are currently wearing. '''Right Hand''' Place any weapons that you wish to use in this spot. '''Left Hand''' This space is normally used for carrying a shield. If you are wielding a two-handed weapon, such as a great axe or a bow, this space will display a darkened version of the weapon to indicate that your left hand is also full. '''Amulet''' Various magical amulets may be found deep within the labyrinth under the church. Only one amulet may be worn at a time. '''Rings''' Magical rings can gift the wearer with many abilities. The nature of the these powerful enchantments, however, allows only one ring to be worn on each hand. '''Backpack''' The space below your character silhouette represents your backpack. Note that items of different sizes take up different amounts of space. It may be necessary to rearrange items in your inventory to make room for new treasure. Put your cursor over the club in your hero’s backpack. Notice that the club will highlight, and a description of it will appear in the Description Box at the bottom of the screen. Left-click on the club. Your cursor will be replaced by the picture of the club. Move the club over to another empty square in your backpack, and left-click again. You have now moved the club to another spot within your backpack. To drop the club from your inventory, left-click on it to select it and move the cursor over the Play Area. Left-click on the ground near your character and he will toss the club onto the ground. Move the cursor over the discarded club. It will be highlighted by a blue outline, and a brief description of it will appear in the Description Box. Left-click on the club to pick it up again. Note that if the Inventory screen is open, items will not automatically be placed in your backpack. Move the cursor over an empty space in your backpack and left-click to put away the club.<div style="float:right; text-align:right; background-color:#1A0303; padding:2px 4px 4px 4px; color:white;">(Page 15)</div>{|align="right" style="clear:right;"|<div style="text-align:center;">''“I have seen the horrors that lie''<br />''beneath the earth. I have felt''<br />''the icy breath of darkness upon''<br />''my skin, and have been gripped''<br />''by the skeletal talons of death''<br />''itself. What prayer can ever''<br />''heal the bleedingmarks of''<br />''Terror’s embrace?”''</div>|} Items in your backpack such as scrolls and books can be used by right-clicking on them. If it is a potion or other non-targeted effect, the effects will take place immediately. If it is a spell or effect that requires a target, your cursor will be replaced by a targeting cursor. Put the targeting cursor over the item or area that you wish to affect and click the left mouse button. Close the Inventory screen by clicking on the [INV] button or pressing '''I''' on the keyboard. You can also close the inventory screen by pressing the spacebar on the keyboard. Pressing the spacebar automatically closes any screens that you have open.  ===The Belt===Small items, such as potions and scrolls, can be kept on your belt instead of in your backpack to make them easier to use. The Warrior starts out with two healing potions stored on his belt. The number in the lower right hand corner of the potion icon is the hotkey for that item. Pressing the '''1''' key on the keyboard, for example, will cause your character to drink the potion in the first spot on his belt. You can also use the items by right-clicking on them. When your character picks up a usable item that is small enough, he will automatically place it on his belt if there is room. You can also transfer items between your backpack and your belt by opening the Inventory screen, left-clicking on the item to be moved, and then left-clicking on the space that you want to move the item to.  ===Movement==={|align="right" style="clear:right;"|<div style="text-align:center;">''“A warrior’s true strength lies''<br />''not in the body, but in the''<br />''spirit…”''</div>|}Movement in Diablo is accomplished by placing the cursor over the area where you wish to walk and then holding down the left mouse button. Your character will automatically move towards that direction. Note that walls, monsters, or closed doors may prevent your character from being able to find a route to where you want him to go.  ===Interacting with Characters===Now it’s time to explore the town of Tristram and talk to one of the few remaining residents. Walk over to the fountain in the center of the town. Several people will be visible. Move your cursor over the large fellow standing off to the right. His name will appear in the Description Box. Denizens of the town or labyrinth may ask your character to perform tasks for them or offer advice on quests on which you are currently working. Some people may even have access to goods or magical artifacts that will aid you on your journey. To talk to Griswold, left-click on him. Your character will automatically walk to him and start a conversation.<div style="float:right; text-align:right; background-color:#1A0303; padding:2px 4px 4px 4px; color:white;">(Page 16)</div> Griswold is the blacksmith of Tristram and can provide your character with weapons and armor. Left-click on “Buy Basic Items”. A list of items that Griswold is selling will appear. You can left-click on the scroll bar or use the '''Arrow''' keys to scroll up and down the list. The item’s name, description and statistics will be listed, along with its price. Items that are in red are too powerful for your character to use; your hero may be too weak to wield the weapon, or too clumsy to utilize it properly. Left-click on “Back” or press '''Escape''' once to get back to the main conversation menu, and then left-click on “Leave the Shop” or press '''Escape''' again to end the conversation with Griswold.  ===The Quest Log===Continue to explore Tristram and talk to each of the people that you meet. Eventually, one of them will ask you to perform a task for them. You have just received your first quest. Quests are various missions that you may be asked to complete as you are investigating the evil that has been plaguing the land. To view a list of the quests that you are currently working towards, or to review the instructions that you have been given, take a look at the Quest Log. Click on the [QUEST] button on the Interface Bar, or press the '''Q''' key on the keyboard. All quests that your character is currently assigned will be displayed. Left-click on the quest name or press '''Enter''' to read the instructions again. Once you are done, close the Quest Log. This can be done by clicking on the [QUEST] button, pressing the '''Q''' key on the keyboard, or pressing the spacebar. Also, once you have a quest, you can ask everyone in town for information that could help you.  ===Saving/Loading the Game===Before you venture into the labyrinth, you’ll probably want to save your game. Bring up the Main Menu by pressing the [MENU] button or pressing the '''Escape''' key. From here, you can Save your game, Load a saved game, begin a New Game, Exit Diablo, or change the game Options. Click on “Save Game” to save your character’s status. Single player heroes have one saved game slot per character, so save wisely. Multi player heroes are saved automatically as they adventure throughout the town of Tristram and the labyrinth below.<div style="float:right; text-align:right; background-color:#1A0303; padding:2px 4px 4px 4px; color:white;">(Page 17)</div>  ===Game Options===If you wish, you can also adjust the game’s music or sound effects volume by choosing the Options selection. You can also adjust the brightness/darkness of the game by changing the Gamma setting. The farther you move the Gamma slider to the right, the lighter the game screen will become. You can exit the Menu by clicking on the [MENU] button or pressing the '''Escape''' key on the keyboard.  ===Entering the Dungeon===Now you are ready to begin your quest to destroy Diablo. Moving the cursor over the entrance to the church will reveal the way down into the labyrinth below. Left-click on the entrance and you will begin your descent. The labyrinth beneath the church provides a similar view to that of the town above, with one notable exception. As your character approaches walls and doorways, they will become slightly transparent, so that you don’t miss any items or creatures that may be hidden behind them. Only items and creatures that are within your character’s line of sight are visible.  ===Pausing the Game===There may be creatures near the entrance that will approach your hero. To pause the game, press the '''P''' key on the keyboard. The screen will turn red to indicate that the game play is stopped. Pressing the '''P''' key again will resume the game. Note that pausing the game is available only in single player games.<div style="float:right; text-align:right; background-color:#1A0303; padding:2px 4px 4px 4px; color:white;">(Page 18)</div>{|align="right" style="clear:right;"|<div style="text-align:center;">''“I am not driven by hatred.''<br />''I am not driven by fear.''<br />''I am not driven by desire,''<br />''duty, or any rationale.''<br />''I can no longer feel any of''<br />''these.''<br />''All that remains is''<br />''Retribution;''<br />''Cold and hard and final…”''</div>|}  ===Interacting with the Environment===Movement in the labyrinth is the same as in the town. You can either click on the destination where you wish to walk, or you can hold down the left mouse button to walk in the indicated direction. Anything that you can interact with will become highlighted when you move the cursor over it. Creatures are highlighted in red, items that you can pick up are highlighted in blue, and dungeon features such as doors are highlighted in gold. Left-clicking on the selected item will cause your character to automatically move to and interact with the selected item.  ===Combat===Combat is handled in the same fashion as movement. To attack a creature, move the cursor over the target, which will highlight it. The name of the creature, and what your character knows about it, will be displayed in the Description Box. Left-click on the creature to attack it. If your character is not within range, he will automatically walk towards the creature to attack it. If you are using a bow, or are trying to stay behind cover such as a doorway, you can hold down the Shift key on the keyboard while attacking to prevent your character from moving. He will stand in the same spot and fire his bow or swing his weapon. Search the labyrinth until you find some creatures to fight. Don’t forget that if your health gets low, you can use a healing potion to restore some of your hit points.  ===The Automap===An Automap is available to help you navigate around the dungeon. To open the Automap, click on the [MAP] button on the Interface Bar, or press the '''Tab''' key on the keyboard. A map will be overlaid on top of the Play Area. Your character’s location and facing are indicated by an orange arrow in the center of the map. Doors and stairways are shown in yellow. You can use the '''Arrow''' keys on the keyboard to scroll around the map, and the + and - keys to zoom your view in and out. Game play does not stop while the Automap is displayed, so you can still move, attack, and be attacked by the denizens of the labyrinth.  To hide the Automap, either click the [MAP] button, or press the '''Tab''' key on the keyboard. You can also press the spacebar to hide any open screens, including the Automap.<div style="float:right; text-align:right; background-color:#1A0303; padding:2px 4px 4px 4px; color:white;">(Page 19)</div>  ===Gaining Experience and Levels===Continue to explore the labyrinth for a while. Try out different weapons that you find to determine which are the most effective against the creatures that you’re fighting. Don’t forget your healing potions, and, if things get too tough, you can always exit the dungeon and seek help in the town. Eventually, your character will gain enough experience to reach the next level. When this happens, your Life and Mana Orbs will be completely restored, and a button will appear in the playing area. Either click on the button or bring up the Character Information screen to gain the benefits of your new level. Each level that you advance gives you points to distribute among your attributes. Left-click on the [ + ] button to the right of an attribute to raise it. Also, your character’s effectiveness in combat and with most spells will increase automatically.  ===Using Skills and Spells===Once you have gained enough experience to reach level 2, head back to the entrance. Use the Automap to locate the stairway up if you’ve moved far away from it. Before you go back to the town, left-click on the [SPELLS] icon on the Interface Bar, or press the '''B''' key on the keyboard. This opens your Spellbook that holds a list of all the spells and skills that your character currently knows. Left-clicking on the numbered tabs along the bottom of the Spellbook allows you to flip through the pages in your Spellbook. Left-clicking on a spell or skill will prepare it, and the icon on the Interface Bar will change to indicate the prepared spell/skill. Prepare your Repair skill by left-clicking on the icon on the first page of your Spellbook. Click on the [SPELLS] button, or press the '''B''' key on the keyboard, to close the Spellbook. Move your cursor over the playing area and click the right mouse button. Your character will be surrounded by a magical aura, and your cursor will turn into an icon to represent the Repair skill. The Inventory screen will also automatically open. Move the cursor over a piece of equipment that you wish to Repair, and left-click on it. Most spells and skills are used in this way, though some spells will automatically target the area that you right-click, so you’ll need to experiment to see which technique to use for each spell. Also, right-clicking on the icon in your Spellbook will cast that spell.<div style="float:right; text-align:right; background-color:#1A0303; padding:2px 4px 4px 4px; color:white;">(Page 20)</div>{|align="right" style="clear:right;"|<div style="text-align:center;">''“Gird thyself with the''<br />''weapons of knowledge and the''<br />''armor of wisdom.'' ''Victory is won as much''<br />''through strength of mind and''<br />''will as through brawn and''<br />''steel.”''</div>|}  ===The Speedbook and Spell Hotkeys===Another method that you can use to select the spell or skill that you wish to use is through the Speedbook. Click on the icon on the Interface Bar or press the '''S''' key on the keyboard to open the Speedbook. A row of icons indicating the spells and skills that your character is capable of using will appear in the Play Area, just above the Interface Bar. Skills are displayed in gold, memorized spells in blue, spells contained on scrolls are red, and spells available through a staff are orange. To change the spell/skill that you wish to have prepared, left-click on the icon that represents the one that you want. The Speedbook will close and that spell/skill will be readied for use. Once you have learned a few spells, or have found several magical items, it might be useful to set up spell hotkeys so that you do not have to use the Spellbook or Speedbook to change spells. Put the cursor over the Repair icon in your Speedbook. Press '''F5''' on the keyboard. The description of the skill will change to reflect the new hotkey. Pressing the '''F5''' key at any time will now prepare the Repair skill for use. Using the '''F5''' through '''F8''' keys, you can assign up to four spell hotkeys.  ===End of Tutorial===Feel free to continue adventuring with this warrior, or open the Main Menu (using the [MENU] button or '''Escape''') and select “New Game” to create a new hero. For more detailed information on the world of Diablo and the creatures and items contained within it, continue reading the manual.  ==Overview of Gameplay==<div style="float:right; text-align:right; background-color:#1A0303; padding:2px 4px 4px 4px; color:white;">(Page 21)</div>{|align="right" style="clear:right;"|<div style="text-align:center;">''“It is easy to go down into Hell;''<br />''night and day, the gates of''<br />''dark Death stand wide; but to''<br />''climb back again, to retrace''<br />''one’s steps to the upper air —''<br />''there’s the rub, the task. ”''</div><div style="text-align:right;">''— Virgil, The Aeneid''</div>|}===Movement===Left-click on the location that you want your character to walk to.  Continuous movement can be achieved by moving the cursor in the direction you wish to travel and holding down the left mouse button. Your character will continue to walk in that direction until the mouse button is released or a path is not available.  ===Combat===Place the cursor over the creature that you wish to attack. The creature’s name and any information that your character knows about that creature will appear in the Description Box. Unique creatures will have their name displayed in '''Gold'''. Left-click on the creature to attack it with the weapon currently wielded by your character. Holding down the Shift key while attacking will attack a location and prevent your character from moving.  ===Using Skills and Spells==={|align="right" style="clear:right;"|<div style="text-align:center;">''“Break the bones and the body''<br />''will heal.'' ''Break the spirit, and the body''<br />''will die…”''</div>|}Left-click the skill/spell that you wish to prepare by using the Spellbook or Speedbook. Right-click on the creature or area where you wish to cast the prepared spell. Spells or skills that affect an item in your character’s Inventory will turn the cursor into a targeting icon. Highlight the item that you wish to target with the cursor and left-click on it. Hotkeys can be assigned to frequently used spells by using the Speedbook. Open the Speedbook, and place the cursor over the spell that you wish to assign a hotkey to. Press '''F5-F8''' to assign that key to the spell, and close the Speedbook. Pressing the appropriate key will now prepare that spell.  ===Speedbook Color Key:===:Gold: Skill:Blue: Memorized Spell:Red: Scroll:Orange: Staff  ===Interacting with the Environment===Move the cursor over any item.

Moving the cursor over an item in your character’s Inventory will display any other information that is known about the item. The color of the description indicates the nature of the item. :White: Normal item:Blue: Magic item:Gold: Unique item Any equipment that is tinted in '''Red''' is either unusable or too powerful for your character to use. Right-click an item in your character’s Inventory or Belt to use it.

Diablo will allow up to four players to journey into the labyrinth beneath Tristram as friend or foe. Multi player characters are separate from single player characters. A multi player character’s state is saved periodically during play, with experience and equipment being carried over from session to session. Therefore, the “Save” and “Load” options will not appear when the Diablo Menu is opened during a multi player game. ====The Multi player Interface Bar===={|align="right" style="clear:right;"|<div style="text-align:center;">''“Any Master of battle should''<br />''always take stock of his friends''<br />''as well as his enemies. Knowing''<br />''both can, in time, be''<br />''profitable.”''</div>|}The Interface Bar in multi player games has two additional buttons on it, the Message button and the Player Intent button. To send a message to other players in a multi player game, left-click on the Message button, or press Enter on the keyboard. The description box will display a prompt where you can type in your message. Click on the Message button or press '''Enter''' to send the message. From the message screen, you can toggle specific players on or off. This will allow you to send secret messages to only the players that you want. If you want to quickly send a frequently used message, the keys '''F9-F12''' are available as hotkeys to relay preset messages. The Player Intent button controls how your character interacts with other players in the game. Left-clicking on the Player Intent button toggles it between Aggressive and Peaceful. Choosing Aggressive means that your character will treat other players like any other creature in the dungeon, and will attack the player if you left click on them. For a cooperative game, you will want to select Peaceful. A Peaceful character will not attack other players if they are left-clicked on, and will not directly target them with harmful spells.<br />''Note: other players may still be hit by arrows and spell effects even if they are not specifically targeted. Use caution when fighting in close quarters.''<br /><br />

Bows are excellent weapons for those who to prefer to strike at their foes from a distance. The greatest archers in the world are the Sisters of the Sightless Eye. They are trained in the use of every instrument of archery, from the short bows used by the Horsemen of the Kataan Steppes to the great war bows of the Northern Tribes. Even the most skilled of the Sisters, however, knows that a bow is no match for a sword or other weapon if the fighting should come to close quarters. ''Note:Holding down the Shift key while attacking with a bow will prevent your character from moving closer to his or her target.''<div style="float:right; text-align:right; background-color:#1A0303; padding:2px 4px 4px 4px; color:white;">(Page 39)</div>

Enchantments exude an aura that can be sensed by many, but years of training are required to properly exploit the Mana that pervades our world.

While it is very efficient to transform Mana into electrical energy, it is extremely difficult to control. This spell calls into being multiple pockets of lightning which seem to have a will of their own. The caster is able to shield himself from the effects of these charges, but any creature - friend or foe - may be struck. Greater understanding of this spell allows more of these Charged Bolts to be formed, and their existence will be maintained for a longer period of time. The physical toll on the caster, however, increases as well, requiring more Mana to be spent.

To determine the exact nature of this enchantment, however, requires intense study and an extensive knowledge of arcane materials and symbols. While none have mastered the ability to memorize a spell of this magnitude, the Vizjerei have developed a means for the untrained to discover the secrets of an ensorcelled object by using a rare crystal that is extremely sensitive to magical auras. This sensitivity makes it very fragile, however and the crystal will shatter if it is brought too close to an enchanted item. The very act of Identifying such an object also destroys the crystal.

====Telekinesis====This versatile spell is derived from a training exercise that was used by the Horadrim. Once they reached a certain point in their training, acolytes were bound and locked in a cell, with the key to the door lying on the floor in front of them. The student had to unlock and open the door without being able to physically move. Through intense concentration and fine control, the acolyte could manipulate the key as if it was held by an invisible hand. Those that were able to open the cell door were allowed to proceed to the next level of training. There is some speculation as to the fate of those unfortunates that lacked the magical prowess to escape. Today, this spell serves as a reminder that what was once a simple mental exercise for the Horadrim is now a difficult spell known by few sorcerers. Telekinesis could prove very useful in the labyrinth, as there are many trapped doors and chests that could be safelyopened from a distance. By exerting greater force, at a cost in fine control, creatures can also be pushed away from the caster.

Eventually, a secretive order of mortal magi was gathered together by the enigmatic [[Archangel|Arch-Angel]] [[Tyrael]]. These [[sorcerer]]s were to hunt the Three Evils and put an end to their vicious rampage. The order, known as the [[Horadrim]], consisted of wizards from the diverse and numerous [[mage clan|mage-clans]] of the East. Employing disparate magical practices and disciplines, this unlikely Brotherhood succeeded in capturing two of the Brothers within powerful artifacts called [[Soulstone]]s.  [[Mephisto]] and [[Baal]], trapped within the swirling, spiritual constraints of the Soulstones, were then buried beneath the dunes of the desolate [[Aranoch|Eastern Sands]].

The [[Leoric|Black King]] lay dead, slain at the hands of his own [[Priest]]s and [[Knight]]s. The young Prince [[Albrecht]] was still missing, and the proud defenders of [[Khanduras]] were no more. The people of [[Tristram]] looked about their lifeless town and were greatly dismayed. Awash in feelings of both relief and remorse, they soon realized that their troubles had merely begun. Strange, eerie lights appeared in the darkened windows of the [[Tristram Cathedral|Monastery]]. Misshapen, leathery-skinned creatures were seen venturing forth from the shadows of the church. Horrible, wounded cries seemed to linger on the wind, emanating from deep underground. It became apparent that something quite unnatural had infested the once holy sight…site…
