First rule: forget about your mercs, they are going to die. Don't
waste money reviving them.
Second rule: immediately after triggering the Big Red Dog, run away
and open a town ****tal far enough back from the pentagram that he
won't follow you there.
Third rule: go back to town and pick up all the charms you've been
saving for a rainy day, and put them in your pack to max your
offensive and defensive power.
Fourth rule: when you ****tal back to Diablo's crib, *immediately*
open another ****tal. Do this every time you retreat to town for more
mana and life pots.
Fifth rule: if possible, use a range weapon against Diablo. Stay
away from his talons. The further away you keep yourself, the longer
you will live.
Sixth rule: when he vomits forth his red lightning blast, run to the
*side* -- do not try to get out of range of it. The blast will
follow you around, but you can out-run it by going in a circle
around him.
Seventh rule: hit and run, hit and run, hit and run. Don't try to do
much damage at any one attack, because you won't be able to. Just be
content to chip away at his life bar.
Eighth rule: when you get low on potions, break off your attack and
get your ass back to town for more. Never let your life ball fall
much below half-way during your fight, and never let yourself run
out of life potions while still going toe to toe with him.
Ninth rule: keep moving to try to avoid his bone cages. Bone cages
can kill you if you do not have a powerful weapon, such as a
hard-hitting maul, to break out of them. Once the Big Dog has you in
a cage, it only takes a second or two of his lightning attack
playing over your body to kill you.
Tenth rule: when you finally kill him, do a little dance on his
corpse. You've earned it.
