Players say that at first you like the game, you can go at different levels, but if you play often, it can become boring. You pumped your character to the maximum, you learned all the skills, found all conceivable and inconceivable objects. In this case, it is recommended to take the mod for Diablo 2, Horadric cube recipes are also added in the game.
Horadric cube
Horadrim records do not reveal the origins of the cube. It is known that there was a more powerful version, but the result of the methods showed that it is too dangerous to use the cube further. Then they created a Horadric cube. The work of the cube is based on the principles of transmutation and alchemy, thanks to which it is possible to collect a new object in it. The cube works by linking the basic energies of the objects stored in it.
In order to find a Horadric cube in Diablo 2, you need to go to the Hall of the Dead. This is in the Sears Hills, and the cube is somewhere on the second level. It is important to keep in mind that you can only have one cube. If you find two, then you will not pick them up. However, remember the places where you found the cubes, because, you never know, suddenly it disappears from you, then you can come there and take it again. Below is a map where you can find a cube.
It has small dimensions - two by two. In some additions, its size expands. In total, he has four slots, to open it, you need to click on it with the right mouse button. It has 12 cells 4 x 3. To save the item there, you need to drag it onto the cube icon with the mouse. Also there is a button where it says "mix". If you put the right objects there and press the button, the cube will create something new for you. But if the items are wrong, then nothing will happen.
Quest Items
In Diablo 2, Horadric Cube recipes also include making things necessary to complete a quest. For example, in order to open the tomb of Tal Rashi in Act Two in the Mage Canyon, you need a horadric staff (pictured below).
In order to get it, you need the Viper Amulet, as well as the Staff of Kings, which must be placed in a cube and click "mix".
Next, in the third act, you need to get to one place called the Focus of Hate. Wonderful name, isn't it? But you cannot get there until the Indestructible Sphere is destroyed in Travinkalen. To do this, you need to select some of Halim’s things: his flail, his eye, brain and heart. When you put all this into a cube, you will receive the Will of Halim. It is with her help that you can destroy the Sphere.
Cow level. You cannot get here until you complete the whole game to the end and kill the boss. At the same time, in the classic passage you need to kill Diablo, and in addition - Baal. Next you go to the robber camp. There you need to find the volume of the city portal and add to it the Foot of Virt. When you mix these two ingredients, you will open a red portal to this level.
However, there is a feature: if you kill the cow king, then such a portal can no longer be opened. However, any other player who has not yet killed the king will perfectly open the portal, and you can go along with him.
