If players are really stuck, and can't defeat Diablo no matter what they do, they can respec their character with the Token of Absolution in Diablo 2: Resurrected, or talk to Akara in the Rogue Encampment town in Act 1. Equipping gear with high Lightning Resistance and Damage Reduction can help players survive the attack. Melee characters won't actually receive any damage from it if they are close enough to Diablo. All of the above advice should be followed, but ranged attackers, like an Archer Amazon build in Diablo 2: Resurrected should be careful of his Red Lightning Hose move, as it will only hurt players attacking from a distance. Running to these halls is also a good idea if players need to take a break, or fill their belt with potions again.īeating Diablo on Nightmare or Hell difficulty is an easier fight with good gear, but his attacks are slightly different. Thankfully, he will never go outside of the central area of the Chaos Sanctuary, so players are free to make a portal in any one of its 4 halls.

This is because Diablo likes to cast Bone Prison on players to immobilize them as soon as they return from town. Players will inevitably need to use a Town Portal in Diablo 2: Resurrected while fighting Diablo to stock up on more potions, but they shouldn't make one within the boss area. This move is cast several times in a row, so be prepared to run in the opposite direction once Diablo has used the move again. Players will know right before Diablo is about to cast Red Lightning Hose, because he will ready both of his hands in front of him, instead of raising them in the air as he does with most of his other attacks. This is what makes Diablo one of the most difficult bosses in Diablo 2: Resurrected. It's an incredibly powerful lighting and physical attack that can kill characters in an instant. However, when Diablo indicates he is about to use his Red Lightning Hose attack, players must try and avoid it completely. Most of Diablo's attacks are fire-based, so with enough resistance, players can continue to attack him while using health potions without too much difficulty. There are two essential tactics to beating Diablo in Diablo 2: Resurrected: run from his Red Lightning Hose attack, and create a Town Portal just outside the boss arena.

Players won't have as high-level gear as they will when fighting him on Nightmare and Hell, which means they can't rely on superior stats to see them through the fight. Beating Diablo on Normal difficulty in Diablo 2: Resurrected is one of the hardest challenges in the game.
