Diablo: Hellfire - Hidden Characters and Quests

Hidden Characters and Quests

Hellfire contains one extra character class, the Monk. Two additional characters, the Barbarian and the Bard and two additional quests can be enabled with a special text-file edit in the Diablo: Hellfire installation directory.

These classes have new skills and attributes. The Bard can use two one-handed weapons, one in each hand. The Monk is a master of the two-handed staff and has a very high attack speed. The Barbarian lacks any magic but has the highest life and resistance of all classes, and is designed to be a specialist with the two-handed axe (compared to Warriors who use the sword & shield combo). As unfinished test characters, the Bard and the Barbarian do not have unique graphics developed for them, appearing in-game as the Rogue and the Warrior, respectively. The monk has its own character graphics and backstory.

The hidden quests are the Theo quest and the cow quest. The cow quest appears first by turning Lester the Farmer, who allows the player to unlock the hive, into the "Complete Nut", who wears a cow suit. After giving the player a rune bomb to open the hive level, he will send the player off to recover his suit. Once the player returns the brown suit to him, he rewards them with the Bovine Plate. The cow quest was based on an internet joke that directed players to complete a series of silly objectives to unlock a secret cow quest.

The Theo quest is given by a little girl standing by a tree near Adria's shack. The player must kill the Hork Demon to retrieve Theo and acquire the reward. If this quest is not activated, the Hork Demon drops the amulet himself with no storyline.
