Glitches that STILL EXIST in Diablo 2 | History of Glitches Series (Part 2) 

So excited for my wife when I Resurrect the next 20 year Diablo addiction.

Without reading other comments, and off the top of my head: - Strafe bug - 2fps strafe is possible on client side, but not server side, which causes 7 arrows to actually go off instead of 10 when you hold the mouse button down. Also restricts movement for a few frames, because server side is still firing arrows. - Inferno and the druid cold version of it (forgot its name) doing around 1/3 of the intended damage - Any cube recipe which yields ethereal armor pieces has eth bonus re-applied. This is because they "fixed" a bug where upgrading eth unique/rare armor pieces lost the eth bonus. - You can still teleport outside the map in some locations, most notably the tower cellar and act 3 jungles - Hell Baal exp caps out at /players 3 while Hell Diablo exp caps out at /players7 - unsure if bug or feature - Fire enchanted bug was fixed for hell, but not for nightmare, which can at times kill high HP characters in nightmare. - Pindleskin may re-trigger death effects when the game tries (and fails every time) to reanimate him - Lightning enchanted monsters who are also fire and/or cold enchanted trigger an invisible version of their fire/cold death explosion whenever hit. The "charged bolts carry cold damage" bug - Flayer type monsters have several sounds they should make, but don't after LoD. - If you update old characters (pre-LoD) to LoD without opening them in 1.07 (first version of LoD), some very strange things can happen to set/rare items. Rare items get rerolled from BOTH the pre-LoD classic affix pool AND the new one, which can lead to 20% faster cast rings, +4 class skill amulets, 179% goldfind rares, among other things. Set items may have the wrong set assigned for its base item, so that you end up with eg. Death's belt still being a sash, but now part of Iratha's set. Don't know if "still exists" really applies to that one. - Mercs can turn invisible and/or untargetable - You can "quest bug" any act boss online. However, you need a character who haven't completed said act boss quest, and a game where the quest is already done. Typical usage would include running meph for items in baal games. - Mephisto is clearly levitating, but can't levitate over otherwise impassable terrain. This is so that his drops won't be lost. Andariel may still attempt to drop items on impassable terrain, and these items ARE lost. Also, you can use Find Items on corpses on impassable terrain. This may produce items which cannot be reached by the character. - Most chests which are not in act V have their seeds truncated to 16 bits, which leads to them having "only" around 65k different drops (depending on players setting; locked chests do one additional drop attempt). This leads to some relatively stable drops, which can be exploited to farm runes. - Gaining a level while mid-whirlwind with the skill granted from an item will cause the character to continue the whirlwind animation and render any command futile. This is only fixed by exiting the game. - Buffs like Battle Orders or Shout may not apply if casted directly after using a waypoint, without moving ever so slightly first - Waypoints tab may be opened by telekinesis, but can't be used if the character is too far away. Very annoying for Pandemonium Fortress WP.

Can you please make more videos like this? I love these essay vids on D2 quirks, glitches, unknown features. It's some of the best on the platform

Playing this game so much as a kid and there's still tons of information I missed. I remember watching Andys quest "re-completing" which I assume was actually the "bug" or feature as someone notated. Great video. I especially enjoy the fact that you speak with a normal voice and not some weird or actor-style voice. Those videos get quite annoying to watch. Typically I just flip through those to find the information I need, but yours I actually watch.

Wasn't my proudest f@p, but times are rough. Thanks njaguar and Coooley!

Love this series! Glad to see your sub count jumping up because it's well deserved :)

Your content is so good! There is so many of us D2 players out there and those old 2004 websites don't hold up like they used to, I'll keep checking in

"It remains an enigma to this day"... I see what you did there

Love your genuine enthusiasm man, gets me pumped

ive played this game for like 20 years and i didn't even know about the andy quest drop thing

Doing andy bug isnt even something i think about doing when i sometimes play d2 over again. It's just pure muscle memory at this point :D

Hey man I'm 27 years old now. I LOVED diablo lod when I was young. I remember being about 10 and intercepting somebody drop trading a full inventory of sojs. Getting a perfect gaze from andrial. And a valor from cows. You bring back many memories.

God damn this dude can be huge. clear and precise, good voice too!

Good video. regarding ST bug you could have mentioned self sustaining items ;) Also the worst glitch i have ever encountered is when you are in the tal rasha tombs and there is this pile of goo in the corner of two wooden shelves and the moment you step on it, you cannot move unless you have teleport. Also the other glich is when you cannot enter portals and speak to anyone or interact with items so you are dsynced and to fix it you can enter the WP and teleport to any other location without the need to reentering the server. This is quite usefull for summoner

Yes! I love these glitch videos, and the bug and duping history stuff you do. Will be interesting to see which bugs they feel are important enough to port to D2:R, as they’ve said they’ll look at them on a case by case basis

Loving these vids mate, I'm definitely drinking the 'coooley' aid :)

Coooley, in case you're looking for some more material for a part 3, there is the infamous "no level name" portal, i can explain how and why it works (no third party program needed), just let me know.

I found a 4 socket divine scepter with 2 to blessed hammer many years ago. I saw that it was a mace type of weapon. So i pulled up my runes and nothing... Lesson learned.

Coooley: "Baal throne room glitch saves a lot of time". Javazon: "I strongly disagree".

Appreciate your videos coooley keeping the d2 scene on the map

My girlfriend is already displeased with my new found addiction for D2 currently. She has no idea what’s in store for D2R lol

One of my favorite old "glitches" was when (I think kolbot) had a bumperless g-rush script addon that would force packets to open / bypass the ancients gate. A level 1 character would use the packet to get thru the ancients door, have to walk all the way to baal after being cleared, and then could kill baal and progress, even though ancients wasn't done. I used to do them a lot and people would argue every time because I had no bumper character until they saw my level 1 character running thru to baal.

Quality video as always! Good shit man :)

Serioulsy Coooley you got the best D2 videos man! I love this game, countless hours! Years! Decades! Keep up the good work!

busy catching up on all your vids ^^ damn november is TOO far !! Playing d2 on the go on switch gonna be awesome ;-)

I remember White gear for a while. Your outfit was completely white and the stats were hacked OP. It all circulated for quite a while then got a patch finally. It would be dope to see a video on that if you had any info on it. Not exactly glitch related, but hey it was one of those things like, you better have 27 SoJs to trade for 1 piece or pay 75 bucks lol.

Thanks for the upload. The permanent quest drop glitch also applies to Duriel, though it's a bit more tricky to trigger.

Nice series, love it!

I remember a huge glitch back in the old d2 days, get a barb to use frostwind and hold the arctic blast on first click then have leap on 2nd click and leap as you holding it. When people hostile you your hp doesn't drop below 1 hp. Never told anyone about it back in the day so might still exist in older d2

my man Coooley stayin fly as usual 👌

Well explained all that stuff, nice video man! Greetings from Germany

Another documented glitch is on the Skill double throw on the barb where the AR bonus after the 1st point doesn't add any AR or dmg. On top of other skill glitches.

Have you done the "pop" glitch? more than 10 years ago i was fooled by a player promising to dupe the items on my body. i let him kill me over and over without picking up my corpse and eventually all of the items for my bowazon dropped on the ground. He stuck around to tease me a bit about stealing all of my endgame gear, and then i stopped playing the game for a few years. I was mad at the time, but now I think about it as a unique encounter with a non-npc villan. D2 is still easily my favorite video game of all time. Love the historical content, the programmers perspective is interesting. good work :)

I love this music Coooley, it's on point.

the baal skip bug I remember in baal runs way back in the day, back when games didn't realm down as much from going through baal runs faster, used to be a strat to skip wave 3 to avoid those hydras that slow down the run. we had a bit of different tactic for doing the skip, since it was done in 7-8 player games, involved everyone teleporting out of the throneroom after wave 2 and one player triggering the bug. If d2r doesn't have realm down or otherwise prevent games being recreated quickly, I can see this strat being very useful again.

Love this series 👍

Yo great vid! I liked the one on history of scams. You should do one on the current day scam methods

I absolutely love your videos! I am an old school player starting in 2002 until 2007 and I was incredibly rich in game

Better vid than expected lol

I've known about the Andariel quest drop bug for what feels like forever. Something I am curious about that I haven't had a chance to test though, is does the Andariel quest bug exist in non-expansion? If so, when you convert a character from non-expansion to expansion with the bug active, does the bug remain after the conversion? I don't have Diablo 2 installed at the moment since I am waiting for Resurrected to come out in a few weeks so I can test it. I am curious because I plan to set up a Sorc for CRushing and also want to play my first character through non-expansion first. So I am curious if I can get the bug to trigger, and maintain it after converting to expansion. Anyone willing to test all of this in current version of D2 or know how it will work?

Is that andy bug attached to just the the character who did it or to your account for all your future characters? What happens if I trigger the bug with one guy, then play another character and decide to talk to everyone missing out the special loot drop? Can I still go back to the 1st character who triggered the bug and still have it enabled?

great video, here i am thinking i knew everything there was to know in this game but i didnt know 99% dr nullify CB thanks!

nice video once again. i wanna see the bug portal teleporting to other acts. i remember u could go from stony field to act5 town wp. i know they socketed alot items in classic that way; could they also do anya with their classic chars?

Never heard of 100% DR nullifying CB in PvP, that's really awesome. GG

im most intrestd in glitches that are useful to advancing the game. the andarial quest glitch is the most interesting one i have seen and i keep hoping there are more like it.

Interesting to know. I've just gotten back into D2 again after I quit in 2003/4

i like the intro of your channel

Wow, never knew about the Andariel bug. I wonder if you get better loot killing her bugged or hanging back killing Baal in the previous difficulty.

I need help i am now lv 97 WW Barb and i haven't find highlord's amulet. Where can i farm this amulet. All i got is a bunch of rising sun amulets.

Strength bug is how everyone knows it, actually shoulda been called charm bug, because all charms do not properly show their effects on the opponent's side. Your items can be bugged by Dexterity as well. Also all frw from charms does causes desync as it does not show as active on the opponent's side, same as frw on equipment that is bugged by the str/dex from charms that is needed for it. Also to note, although its not too noticeable, this charm bug will also mess with weapon and cast animations for the opponent.

Coooley: About the Andariel quest bug... So, when you kill Andariel for the first time, do you just go to the next act as fast as possible to activate the glitch while Andariel is in her death animation? Does this bug work per difficulty you try it on?

Weapon swap bug. Always you to swap cast speeds of spells or cast speed and attack speed. For instance charge bolt and lightning have different break points so I swap cast might lighting to move up a break point since lightning doesn't hit a possible breakpoint but you can increase to the next break point for a 30% increase in damage. You can swap cast on every character. Getting hammerdins without enigma to teleport using charge. And so on.

I remembered once there were black hole pk and assertion error pk, we need to run red scull proxy to block to hack signal which may kill you. it was before the warden implantation

hello Cooley! You sure u don't need to exit game after Andi kill? (travel east + exit)

vid about all glitch found in d2r id watch that

One I used to use was the marrow walk glitch on a bone necro. If you didn't put any points into bone prison and put on marrow walk boots it granted you 33 skill points into bone prison as if you had put those 33 points there. The important thing was that it worked with the other bone spell synergies. The only down side was you could not cast bone prison outside of the charges on the boots.

i hope they fix Desync in D2r i dont feel its something good for the pvp..

In diablo 2 lod 1,14 d i still have bug for paladin charge . Is it fixed in diablo 2 ressurected ?

Wow, I'd never thought that poison clouds coming from tomb vipers deal physical damage. I wonder what exact number of physical damage it causes. I think phys dmg reduction builds(such as IPDR assassin) can completely negate physical part of damage of poison cloud.

Hey Cooley was just wondering what is worth putting the time into when they come out in your opinion. Diablo 2 remake or diablo 4

The tomb vipers physical damage bug can easily be negated by wearing items with "damage reduced by X" (NOT damage reduced by X%) Edit: I don't remember the specific amount, but I think it's actually pretty low, compared to the damage they actually do.

See if you can find any information on the Moonwalking glitch. Not sure how it happened to me, but WAY back in the day, I somehow ended up doing the Horadric Amulet quest twice or something. After my sorc smashed the alter a second time, she was running around backwards for the remainder of the game. It was the funniest thing ive ever seen, and I've only seen one video on youtube showcasing it.

Remember the old scam rooms ITeachu2dupe? Good old scammers.

The Diablo 2 engine was remarkably well-built (either that or very simple); the bugs in D2 pale in comparison to any Bethesda game (which I love dearly, too)

Any word if theyr patching the andy quest glitch in ressurected?

should also mention you can get the duriel quest bug drops permanently as well

Good Stuff!!!

mana burn, mdr/pdr overflow with es, lightning enchanted + fire/cold enchanted monsters. (not sure if last one applies to beetles) but damn that's annoying bug.

So.....I've been andy quest drop bugged without knowing it this entire time? Nice.

Omg finally I know how I died. My lv 98 sorc #1 on the hardcore ladder right after the 1.10 patch died in nightmare mode in the viper caves helping a friend. I dropped in one second I couldnt full rej or leave and was so confused how in nightmare with the best gear in the game I died so fast.

Hidden Cube recipe to reroll amount of open sockets on a weapon is 3 normal grade skulls. Haven't seen it written anywhere else on the internet apart than discovering it myself by mistake with a 5 OS Ogre Maul that was rerolled into a 6 OS accidentally.

Thanks, I think the viper poison damage bug is fixed in D2R now(not in D2); actually this does not only happen in A5, but anywhere Viper appear, for example in A2. Hope they backport it to D2(maybe, or maybe they will not fix it as they want to move all ppl to D2R)

ive seen LoD items like vamp gaze or shaftstop in classic mode on battlenet server, how did they revert lod items to classic?

@coooley: So if you can drop a game by using rabies on bone walls, can't you use it to retry socketing rune words until they are perfect?

Can I revive those Tomb Vipers and have decent phys damage "range" summons? I am wondering and dont have a Nec in Hell A5 right now to test it...

How was fletch made, the 20fcr is impossible on a rare item, always wondered :)

With the wave skip for Baal, couldn't you just pull the group out of the room into the back near the entrance and then teleport back to the Baal room and it'll skip? I vaguely recall that being a thing..

Lost a level 89 HC Necromancer to those tomb vipers. Doing Nihlathak runs at 4am definitely has its disadvantages.

can you do a specific video how strenght bug work?

The Delirium helm bug on an A2 mercenary. Crashes the game when your Merc turns into the lvl 50 bone fetish and attacks.

Is the 27 state bug still around or was that patched out?

Please, do more of these videos. There’s so much that I’m learning about this game I never even knew was going on. Glitched weapon classes?! Don’t use a mace rune word on Devine scepters!? Quest bugging andariel!? Teach us!!

Tomb viper poison cloud does poison dmg now in D2:R as of the last patch.

yisss more lore videos!

Dont know if someone said it , but the single player starting act 5 with skills and stats, thing is gotta go back act 1 and do all quests , create shortcut on your d2 on computer (desktop) and go to properties then space -W -act5 there ya go enjoy fun with plugy

Will I be able to quest bug Andy in D2R?

UUUUUHH BLIZZARD.... the amount of bugs in the game is literally never ending. Even some of the most powerful skills in the game come from bugs..even Blessed Hammer isn’t even supposed to work with Concentration to just get started...lmao. Also nice video dude!

I've seem some mentions of andy bug not working anymore. If it is still a thing, then i am sad with my lvl 95+ chars :/

What about the charge from the pally? It slows you down sometimes or just simply freezes you there haha

Will the Andarial bug work in d2r?

I'm not seeing anyone talking about the Quest Item keep bugs, for the A2 staff or it's pieces, or the A3 flail.

About the first one am I allowed to talk to anybody in Act 1 after I activate it? You know so I can still buy potions and such.

first one that comes to my mind... .delirium.

You honestly seem like a great guy! Thanks for the VIdeo,

Still not convinced the Tomb Vipers is a bug. Has to be at least a couple monsters that are just deadly

I had that necklace when d2 was released.

What about the glitch that's still since 2001 with Might aura + Amp dmg + requiping equip? :P Im surprised its not on the list

could you do one for glitches that still exist in pd2?

used to play Javazon with the farcast bug :))))

5:57 what about if u get classic rushed from norm a1 to hell a3, you have baalquests for free and your still in hell , classic rushed > convert to expansion at hell act 3
