How to Hex Diablo 2 Skills

You can modify "Diablo 2" savegames in any number of ways by using a hex editor. Hex editors look for certain memory addresses that govern the variables that make up gameplay elements. This can grant experience, skills and items, as well as letting you skip between levels and quests.

Things You'll Need

Hex Workshop

Instructions

- 1
  Install and open Hex Workshop. Go to "File," then "Open," then navigate to the "Diablo 2" saves folder. This is typically under "C:\Program Files\Blizzard\Diablo 2\save." Open a savegame.
- 2
  Click the "Edit" menu, then select "Goto." Make sure "Hex" is selected, as well as "Beginning of File." In the "Offset" form, type or copy the desired hex location. Ignore the "0x" portion of the hex address. As an example, the "Magic Arrow" skill for Amazons is at location "0x26F."
- 3
  Type or copy "26F" into the Offset form. In the right panel, a value should be highlighted, corresponding to the hex address highlighted in the left panel. You can edit skill values from 01 to 14. Anything outside that range may corrupt the savegame.
- 4
  Go to "File," then "Save". This will automatically overwrite the savegame, but will also ask if you want to back up the old savegame to a .bak file. If your edited savegame becomes corrupt, it can be deleted and the backup can be restored by changing the extension from .bak to .sav.
