SOME WORD
---------
So, you choose Necromancer, right? Good choice, in fact, Necromancer is
a Battle.net favourite! But, be warned, using Necromancer isn't as easy
as you think.(Probably his minions won't do a lot when battling with
bosses, unless you pump heck lot of points into them.)
And remember a word, choose a tree and stick to it, and don't evenly
separate them, OK? It's true...
About Necromancer's history, I don't quite like putting them out here,
if you really have interest on it, you may find all these stuff on
Blizzard.com.
Finally, to the main points...

--------------
PLANS AND FOCUS
--------------
Everyone hopes to train a powerful Necro. This section is made by
my own idea and I hope it can help you.

Equipments:
I personally think that equipments that can add to skills are the best,
I mean those that add 1 or 2 to all skills levels. You'll probably won't
find some of them or even 1 item at the normal difficulty, but if you
continue to Nightmare and Hell, or by killing the Cow King again and
again(version 1.00 only), I'm sure you can get all of them. By the way,
you should find some thing that can replenish your HP.

These are the equipments that I think you should find:
1. Summoner's Amulet Of The Sentinel(+1 to Necro's skills)
2. Necromancer's Amulet(+2 to Necro's skills)
3. Silks Of The Victor Ancient Armor(+1 to all skills)
4. Goldwarp Heavy Belt(very high defense)
5. Wormskull Bone Helm(+1 to Necro's skills)
6. Stone Of Jordan(+1 to all skills)
7. Ume's Lament Grim Wand(+2 to Necro's skills)
8. Frostburn Gauntlets(Best gauntlets)
9. The Ward Gothic Shield(High chance of blocking and defense)
10.Tearhaunch Greaves(Good attributes)

These are the attributes of those stuff:
Summoner's Amulet Of The Sentinel-
Required Level 22
+1 To Necro's Skills
Magic Damage Reduced By 2

Necromancer's Amulet-
Required Level 67(Ah!)
+2 To Necro's Skills

Silks Of The Victor Ancient Armor-
Defense 230
Required Strength 100
+1 To All Skills
5% Mana Stolen Per Hit
+2 To Light Radius

Goldwarp Heavy Belt-
Defense 46
Required Strength 45
+40 defense
+2 To Light Radius
Slightly Increased Attack Speed
30% Better Chance Of Getting Magic Item

Wormskull Bone Helm-
Defense 34
Required Strength 25
+1 To Necro's Skills
5% Life Stolen Per Hit
Poison Resist 25%
+10 To Mana

Stone Of Jordan-
+1 To All Skills
Increase Maximum Mana 25%(Very Good!)
Add 1-12 Lightning Damage
+20 To Mana

Ume's Lament Grim Wand-
One Hand Damage 5-11
+2 To Necro's Skills
+40 To Mana
Faster Cast Rate
Hit Causes Monster To Flee
150% Damage To Undead

Frostburn Gauntlets-
Defense 42
Required Strength 60
Enhanced Damage
Increase Maximum Mana 40%(Impressive!)
Add 1-6 Cold Damage
+30 Defense

The Ward Gothic Shield-
Defense 73
Successful Blocking 46%
Required Strength 60
Increased Chance Of Blocking
Magic Damage Reduced By 2
+40 Defense
+10 To Strength

Tearhaunch Greaves-
Defense 23
Required Strength 70
Faster Run/Walk
All Resistances +10
+10 To Defense
+5 To Strength
+5 To Dexterity

Stats:
Spend your points to Strength and Vitality at first, to make it more
balance. Then pump as many points as you can into Mana, and forget about
Strength and Dexterity, cuz you can find tons of items that adds to
Strength and Dexterity later, put a little points into Vitality too, cuz
that is not very important for a Necro.

Generals:
Find Healing Potions and Mana Potions and put it in your back pack,
don't think that being a Spell Caster doesn't need to drink Healing
Potions, cuz sometimes you'll need to fight with your minions.

------------------
NECROMANCER SKILLS
------------------
I spend most of my points into Poison And Bone Spells tree. I only put
three points into the Curses part, cuz I think it's not very useful.
It's your choice whether you wanna specialize on which tree, but I tell
you, I gain victory not very hard, and seldom, ya, SELDOM(I think I die
for 2,3 times...) die.

a)Summoning Spells
This tree allows you to summon minions to help you, they are Golems,
Skeleton Warriors, Mages and perhaps the monster itself. I think this
tree is quite powerful, but I like Poison and Bone Spells better.

-RAISE SKELETON-
Requirements :Level 1(Duh!)
Description  :Summon skeletons to help you, as the name has suggested.
Advantages   :Use very little mana to summon, and pumping points to it
             allows you to raise more skeletons, sometimes you need
             them to attract monsters while you are escaping!
Disadvantages:Super low HP and damage. And they are quite stupid too,
             can stuck you in tight corridors. You won't need them
             after Act 1 Normal!
Comments     :Put a point and forget about it, save your points for
             Golems or other spells you like. But remember, the reason
             I put a point here is just for the mages and revive,
             because they are not bad.

-SKELETON MASTERY-
Requirements :Level 1, Raise Skeleton
Description  :It's a passive skills and it can make your skeletons and
             revived creatures more powerful.
Advantages   :Hey, your skeletons and revived creatures are tougher, so
             you are more powerful!
Disadvantages:It doesn't add lots of damage and HP to your skeletons.
Comments     :Mmmnnn, I think should save points for Golems, but a few
             points for it won't harm though.
Grade        :A-

-CLAY GOLEM-
Requirements :Level 6
Description  :Creates a Golem from the Earth that fights for you.
Advantages   :Very tough(until the Act 2 Normal). It is your main power
             for some times. And, you don't need a corpse to do so.
Disadvantages:You can summon ONLY ONE Golem of any type, at a time. It
             doesn't a large brain too, I think.
Comments     :I love this guy, until I get Blood Golem. Put some points
             are good, but don't overdo it, cuz you will not use it
             after you get Blood Golem.

-GOLEM MASTERY-
Requirements :Level 12, Clay Golem
Description  :Enhances the HP and speed of all types of Golems in
             certain percentage.
Advantages   :It's a passive skills and need no mana. And it can make
             your Golems harder to kill! Plus, it affect all types of
             Golems
Disadvantages:It doesn't increase the damage cause by Golem, making
             this skill not as useful as it sounds.
Comments     :I don't quite like this spell, though I put a few points
             here. I recommend save those points for Golem itself.

-RAISE SKELETAL MAGE-
Requirements :Level 12, Raise Skeleton
Description  :Summon range attack skeletons(And of course, that fight
             for you!)
Advantages   :A lot better than Skeletons, since they don't toe-to-toe
             attack like skeletons, you will find out that they can
             survive quite a period of time. And it doesn't need a lot
             of mana.
Disadvantages:Again, their brain aren't well developed. Still, they
             don't have a lot of HP, which is a bad idea when they are
             surrounded by monsters. I notice that skeletal mages are
             quite slow too, cuz they usually can't catch me up when
             having a long run.
Comments     :I quite like skeletal mages, not bad to dump a few
             points into it in order to increase the quantity of them.
             There are four types of skeletal mages, include Poison
             (which I dislike the most!), Fire, Lightning and Ice/Cold
             (I like this flavour the most, cuz they can freeze the
             enemies and slow them down!)

-BLOOD GOLEM-
Requirements :Level 18, Clay Golem
Description  :Creates a Golem that links to your health.
Advantages   :Very very hard to kill if combine with Iron Maiden. You
             will get healed when Blood Golem hits enemies. It also
             heals itself by this.
Disadvantages:Same as Clay Golem, his IQ isn't very high, and only one
             type of Golem can be summoned at one time. You lose a
             little health when Blood Golem is hit. Putting points
             into it won't increase its HP, so if you want a high HP
             Blood Golem, you have to waste some points into Golem
             Mastery.
Comments     :I love this Golem! Combine with Iron Maiden, he is really
             unstoppable, he can heal you! But after you get the most
             powerful Golem of all types(I think), which is Fire Golem
             , you will probably ignore it...

-SUMMON RESIST-
Requirements :Level 24, Golem Mastery
Description  :All your summoned monsters(include Golems, Skeletons Mages
             and revived creatures) will gain resistance.
Advantages   :OK, your summoned monster live longer and harder to kill
             from elemental attacks, making you tougher!(Duh!). It's
             a passive skill, so you don't need to spent a single mana
             on it! All summoned monsters get affected, doesn't need
             to spent each points to each Mastery.
Disadvantages:It won't affect your resistance! Only your summoned
             monsters gain it! Damned!
Comments     :Well, as you can see, it won't affect your resistance,
             but putting a few points isn't a bad idea, cuz it affects
             all the summoned monster.

-IRON GOLEM-
Requirements :Level 24, Blood Golem
Description  :Summons a Golem made of metal from anything that is made
             of iron.
Advantages   :Has quite high HP. It has the attributes of the
             sacrificed weapon or armor. It has thorns that worked like
             Irom Maiden curse at level 2. Improvement won't raise the
             mana you need to summon.
Disadvantages:Improvement won't raise its damage, HP and defense.(this
             Golem has the attributes of the sacrificed armor or weapon
             , however, if you summon him from a normal metal thing,
             he is a normal Iron Golem, but will you sacrificed very
             very good armors or weapons? Sure not!) His thorns improve
             very slow! Quite dumb, you can be stucked by him in tight
             corridors. Unlike other Golems, Iron Golem can't be
             summoned anywhere.(Cuz you need a metal thing to do so!)
             Only a Golem can't be summoned at a time!
Comments     :I don't like this dirty little Golem, Blood Golem is
             better, but I think you should put a point to it in order
             to learn powerful Fire Golems.

-FIRE GOLEM-
Requirements :Level 30, Iron Golem
Description  :Creates a Golem of Fire
Advantages   :You don't need FIRE to summon this FIRE Golem! It has lots
             lots of HP. Absorbs fire damage to his life.(useful when
             facing all those damned blood Lords) Has fire aura that
             can damage enemies. When he dies, he will explode! Only
             this Golem can.
Disadvantages:If you put a point more into this Golem, it will increase
             10 mana! So, before putting points to it, please look at
             the blue globe at your lower right. He is the last in the
             class too...
Comments     :If you pump your mana a lot, mana cost probably won't be
             a problem. In short, I love this Golem very very very very
             much!!!!!!!!!

-REVIVE-
Requirements :Level 30, Raise Skeletal Mage, Iron Golem
Description  :Revive a dead monster
Advantages   :It even has a higher HP than the original ones! Putting
             points will increase the quntity you can summon at a time.
Disadvantages:Your revived creature can only survive 3 minutes! Putting
             points won't raise the time limits! Not all dead monsters
             can be revived, they are champions, unique, super unique,
             and bosses. High mana cost. Revived monsters are even
             more brainless than Golems and Skeletons!!
Comments     :You will think Revive is not very useful at first, but if
             you continue to Nightmare and Hell(like me), you will
             find that this skill is the best! Cuz you will slowly
             notice your Fire Golem is dying more quickly and more,
             and your main minions and your main strength will go to
             the reveived monsters, pump it more if you plan to go on!

             cost than Bone Spear. It will fade away after some times.
Comments     :I love love this spell. In fact, I do spend points to it.
             A good thing that Bone Spirit has, is that the fact it can
             hunt down enenies on its own. I mean if you miss the
             target, it will find on its own. Cool animation. I think
             you should focus on either Bone Spear or Bone Spirit, I
             prefer Bone Spirit to Bone Spear, so I spend Points into
             it, it's up to you.

Description  :Double the damage you cost.

             steadily on 200%.
Comments     :I think you should spend a point here, cuz it really

BONE SPEAR? BONE SPIRIT?
------------------------
Well, well, well. This section is made just to help you to decide. You
should know Bone Spear and Bone Spirit, right? And you wanna choose one
of them, right? Can't decide? Then read this section.

Bone Spear:
Pros-
1.Faster
2.Can pass through enemies
3.Cheaper mana cost

Cons-
1.Can't hunt down enemies
2.Need to spent more points to make it more powerful(cuz it increase 6)
3.Less Damage

Bone Spirit:
Pros-
1.Can hunt down enemies
2.More Damage
3.Don't need to spend more points to make it more powerful(cuz it
 increase 12)

Cons-
1.Can't pass through enemies
2.Slower
3.Higher mana cost

I personally think that Bone Spirit is better, cuz it can hunt enemies
down a, does a lot more damage. But Bone Spear is not bad though, it's
up to you.

WALKTHROUGH

Walkthrough, just a guide for finishing the game.
When I play this game, I work quite hard to level up myself, I know,
sometimes you will feel boring, but if you get a powerful Bone Spirit
by the time you get to Diablo, you are going to beat him easily! I was
level 34 when I face the Lord Of Terror. Remember, work hard!

QUEST I  :Den Of Evil
Available:Talk to Akara
Mission  :Kill all the monsters in Den Of Evil at Blood Moor
Reward   :1 Skill Point
Note     :This is your first quest and in fact, this is the easiest
         quest. I think don't go to Den Of Evil first, instead,
         wander around Blood Moor and even Cold Plains if you like,
         and kill all the baddies there to gain some experience. It
         is best when you reach about Level 8, so you can have
         your toughie Golem to handle them.

QUEST II :Sisters' Burial Ground
Available:Talk to Kasha after you have completed Quest I
Mission  :Kill Blood Raven, the corrupted Rogue
Reward   :1 Free Rogue, and you can hire Rogues after this quest
Note     :MMnnnn.... Blood Raven, your first boss. Actually,  Blood
         Raven is too weak to consider to be a boss(If you level
         yourself up hard!) So, there is nothing to fear! If you want
         more hints on defeating Blood Raven, read the Bosses Guide
         Section below.
         Some nice place to level up=>Cold Plains, Caves, Stony Field,
                                      The Underground Passage.

         A random ring given by Akara
Note     :First, you need to find Tree Of Inifuss at Dark Wood. Pass
         Stony Field and go through The Underground Passage, where
         leads to Dark Wood.(I suggest don't sneak away but finish
         all those monsters on the way.) When you are near the tree,
         you can see a big tree symbol appears on your map, so don't
         worry missing that tree. Click the tree and a scroll will be
         dropped, take the scroll back to Akara. Akara will translate
         the meaning of that scroll so that you know how to open the
         portal that leads to Tristram.
         Next, go to Stony Field and activate the portal. Kill all the
         damned monsters in Tristram and free Cain. Back to town and
         mission is completed!

         Marsh. You can find tons of gold there. The Countess is
         located at level 5. Remember, kill all the baddies before
         tackling The Countess, cuz it is much more easier to beat her.
         And one very important note, that is, REMEMBER TO DEPOSIT ALL
         YOUR MONEY BEFORE TACKLING HER, CUZ YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU
         ACCIDENTALLY DIE, YOU WILL LOST ALL THOSE GOLD YOU FIND!!!!

         and you gain quite a lot of experience!
         First, If you need to reach Barracks, you need to go through

         the toughest boss in Diablo II! Even the 2 Prime Evils are
         easier than him! I am not scaring you, but he is way too tough
         , train as hard as you can before facing him!).
         Finally, enter the real tombs and place the staff at the place
         you should. Then you can enter Tal Rasha's Chamber. As soon as

         let Corpse Explosion finish them all! Sometimes the Unique is
         left alone, and sometimes, they... even die with their minions
         ! Hahahaha! Cheap!
         Finally, you'll notice there is an earthquake, Lord Of Terror
         -Diablo(II) appears! To see the techniques I use to beat this
         Lord Of Terror, read the Bosses Guide!(I recommend at least

BOSSES GUIDE
------------
Frustrating about beating bosses? Read this section to know the
techniques I use to beat them!
Actually, these bosses are Super Uniques, but I think they look a little
tougher and sound like a boss, so I list them here. I tell you, there're
still some Super Uniques out there, so be careful. To know all the Super
Uniques, refer to Beasts Section.

Act 1-

1.Blood Raven:
She will be your first boss, and I think she is easy! Before you enter
Burial Grounds, summon a Golem and some Skeleton Warriors, cuz you need
them to entertain her minions!
Then, you have 2 ways:
The first way is to finsh all her minions before tackling her.
The second way is to let your minions tackle with her minions while you
go to finish Blood Raven.
I prefer the second way to the first, it's up to you.
After you notice Blood Raven, try your best to lure her to a tree(which
is in the centre on the platform), cuz if you do, you can just slash
her with your melee weapon while her bow attacks hit the tree!
If you can't, there isn't very hard to beat her though. Evade all her
attcks(should not be a problem) and hit her with your weapon and step
back to dodge again! Repeat this process until she falls!(You may get
a scratch or two if using this method, but with your healing potions
around, you will not easily die.)

2.The Countess
Finish all her minions first, then go to face her. She won't have a lot
of HP, so hire a rogue that fires Ice Arrows and get some Mages that
have Cold power too, then dodge all her fire wall and let your minions
finish her.(Golem to tackle her while your rogue and mage slow her down)
After sometime, she'll be a goner!)

3.The Smith
Mmmnnn... The method I use to beat him is as same as beating The
Countess(With Ice Arrows Rogue and Cold Spell Mages to slow him down),
then Bone Spear as much as your can!
After some running and attack, he'll fall.
What, can't learn Bone Spear yet? Then cast a Bone Armor and tackle him!

4.Andariel
This boss is the first toughest boss you face. But she isn't that hard
though. It's a very good idea to a Blood Golem with an Iron Maiden
curse, cuz she'll be a lot easier to beat!
Never mind, if you don't have it yet, again finish all the monster on
your screen first and don't try to sneak! Cuz you can kill yourself with
tons of baddies around and Andariel!
OK, it will be a lot tougher without a Blood Golem, but that isn't mean
you can't beat her. There's only one way, that is kill it with your
melee weapon. I know it sounds dangerous, but you don't seem to have any
choices. By the way, if you toe-to-toe attack her, she won't spread her
damned poison too! Plus, her eyes is not developed very well! I mean
after you scratch her for 5 or 6 times, you will notice that she still
haven't tackle you yet! Another good thing that is when you feel going
to hell(or heaven if you like), escape to the second floor!
Eventually, she'll die and left some goodies.

Act 2-

1.Radament
This boss is very annoying! Ya, he will resurect his minions! But you
are a Necromancer, right? And a Necromancer can raise skeleton, right?
So, use it!, after you kill each baddy, raise a skeleton or a skeletal
mage to prevent Radament from resurecting the corpse! After some raising
, Radament will be alone. If you have a Blood Golem with Iron Maiden
Curse, he'll be to easy. If you don't, tackle him and retreat when you
feel to bite the dust and heal yourself and do it again until he falls!
Still not a very tough boss though.

2.Cold Worm The Burrower
Man... this ....worm don't attack! Instead, his job is done by the Sand
Maggots and Sand Maggot Youngs! Kill these maggots and use Corpse
Explosion to finish all of them, left only Coldworm the Burrower. Tackle
him with your melee weapon and when he nearly falls, run away and let
minions do the rest, cuz when he dies, he will explode some poison gas
thingy.

3.The Summoner
When you are near the Summoner, a Quest Log will pop out remind you to
kill him. When you see his platform, summon a golem there to handle him,
try to dodge his fire attacks as well as possible. This guy seems to
have quite low HP, cuz your golem will only takes half a minute or so
to wear him down.

4.Duriel
One Word, this boss is very very very..(infinte) tough! First, after you
have entered Tal Rasha's Chamber, there's no way out, unless you use a
Town Portal. Second, the place is quite small to run around! Third, he
has a holy freeze aura that makes you move so S..L..O..W! Fourth, he is
super fast, blink your eye once and he'll be in front of you!
If you have the Decrepify Curse, use it! If don't, summon a Blood Golem,
and cast Iron Maiden on him(Your Blood Golem will not last more than 5
seconds) and Bone Spear as much as you can. And, remember always keep a
Town Portal cuz if you die, you won't need to travel a long without all
your armors!
After a very very tough battle, he'll die(wooh!), and may be you have
died a lot too, you can leave this damned place and talk to Archangel
Tyrael...

Act 3-

1.Mephisto
He ain't that hard for being a Prime Evil. In fact, I think Duriel, a
normal boss, is even a lot tougher than him.
I use Fire Golem and Bone Spirit to beat him. And below is the way I
kill the Lord Of Hatred.
First, a very important note, that is, kill all the council members
before battling with Mephisto. Then lure him to the stairs, where you
come from level 2 to level 3(It's an easy task!) Then, summon a Fire
Golem and curse Mephisto your Iron Maiden, remember, your Fire Golem
won't last very long. While Mephisto is playing with my cute Golem, I
fire as much as Bone Spirit to Mephisto.(I get a faster cast rate from
my ring) When your Fire Golem dies, he'll explode and hurt Mephisto some
Don't run first, just Bone Spirit again until he comes nearer and
nearer, then retreat! Retreat to level 2! It only takes me 10 minutes
to wear him down, and without a scratch!
If you don't have a Fire Golem or Bone Spirit, just use Blood Golem and
Bone Spear!

Act 4-

1.Izual
Again, I use Fire Golem and Iron Maiden, and too, Bone Spirits to beat
him. Izual is easier than Mephisto cuz he takes 10+ seconds to kill my
Fire Golem, so I have lots of time Bone Spiriting Izual!
If you can't have a Fire Golem or Bone Spirit yet, use Blood Golem and
Bone Spear, they work well too!

2.Hephasto The Armorer
Even easier than Izual, cuz he has the Amplify Damage Curse. And the
funniest thing is, he bite the dust before I notice! Just too fast to
be killed being an ARMORER! Haha!
I use the same technique when I beat izual, just that I don't even use
Bone Spirit at all(cuz he has magic resistance) so if you want some
hints, refer on how I beat Izual!

3.Diablo(II)
Mmmnnn... final boss... Scare? Shouldn't. Cuz I think he's easier than
Duriel(If you have gone here, means you have beaten Duriel! And since
you can beat the Toughie Duriel, why not Diablo?)
By the way, try to get something that add 1 point to your skills, like
the Summoner's Amulet Of The Sentinels, if you can't, transmute one!
Look at the Horadric Cube Section to know how!
First, before opens the final seal, opens a town portal behind the wall,
where Diablo won't see it. Then go and open the final seal to release
Diablo. Your Fire Golem will probably rush to Diablo and tackle him,
cast an Iron Maiden to help Fire Golem. You, yourself, find nice place
to stay there and start Bone Spiritng Diablo! Your Golem will eventually
dies and left you and Diablo alone. If you would like a fair fight,
don't bother on summoning Golems again, cuz it's the final battle! You
should face it yourself! Dodge his attacks(not very hard I think) and
Bone Spirit when you have a chance(Bone Spear is not a good idea cuz he
don't like camping!) When you see only 1/4 life is left, drink a potion
or take the portal! After you are healed in the town, don't use that
portal, instead, use the waypoint and warp yourself to the River Of
Flames, and walk to Diablo, that way, you don't need to spend more than
a portal! It's not a very long route, and you should have finished all
the monsters, so there is no problem! Do this for 3,4 times and you
will gain your victory for good!

"May the light shine upon your path .....", Archangel Tyrael.

!GAMES OVER!
or not if you want to continue on Nightmare and Hell.

TIPS AND HINTS
--------------
1. Repair before you sell.
2. Always do a backup of your save file, so you can replace the new one
  if you have gambled bad stuff or in case anything happens.
3. Visit the Moo Moo Farm and kill the Cow King to get some good stuff.
4. Don't let Necromancer battle alone! Summon!
5. Don't underestimate every single boss until you have beaten them, cuz
  you will...
6. Pump lots into energy, you'll need it!
7. Specialize on a single tree will bring great success.
8. Save your potions!
9. Kill all the baddies you can, don't sneak.
10.Kill Bosses and do anything dangerous immediately after gaining a
  level in Nightmare or Hell, cuz in case you die, you won't lose lots
  of experience points.
11.Save the imbue option and use it after you reach at least level 50.
12.Try to put golds into stash, if your stash is fully loaded, then drop
  your golds near your stash before your go, and when you wanna quit,
  be sure to get back and take the golds.
13.If you need to make your gems perfect, there's one long and simple
  way. First, go to Blood Moor, there are always some shrines around,
  Go and look for the Gem Shrines(remember to take the gem your wanna
  upgrade too), if there aren't any, quit and find again, with a
  hundred tries and a bit luck luck, you can find it!
