This is a sub-page of Diablo II.

Diablo II contains several unused items and unused objects. Using a character editor, some of these items may be added to a player. Sometimes players may encounter other players in Open Battle.net mode with these hacked items. For clarification, "Objects" refers to objects that can be interacted with in the world, and "items" refer to things which are picked up and/or used by the player.

Vengeance, Voice, and Wonder have some basic data filled out about them, but are incomplete:

Vengeance

Ith Amn El
Applies to: Weapons

Voice

Tir Ith
Applies to: Helmets

Wonder

Nef Sol Ist
Applies to: Wands

Since wands cannot have three sockets in them, it would be impossible to create the runeword "Wonder."

Some of the missing runewords were later introduced in Diablo 2: Resurrected remake (Flickering Flame, Mist, Obsession, Pattern, Plague, Unbending Will, Wisdom)1 and in the Reign of the Warlock expansion (Authority, Void)2.

The Black Tower Key#

The Black Tower Key seems to be a quest item that was given to, or acquired by, the player at some point as part of a story quest. Either as an aspect of the Countess quest in act 1 or during Act 3. The design of the Countess's tower in the Black Marsh has doors that could have needed a key to unlock during development. If it was for Act 3, this idea was scrapped in favor of either Khalim's Will quest or the Black Tower quest of killing the high council. It can be acquired using a character editor and doesn't do anything since it was solely a quest item. The graphics were later reused for Keys as part of the 1.11 Pandemonium Event on Closed Battle.net.

Diablo's Soulstone#

There exist graphics for Diablo's soulstone. Some abandoned quest code deep in the executable points to there being actually 6 quests in Act 4, but the code for them doesn't trigger, and there are only 3 in the final game. It's been speculated that destroying Diablo's soulstone may have been a final quest in the game. The hero is shown destroying the soulstone in the final cinematic instead. This item cannot be acquired with a character editor.

Herb#

An item called Herb exists. It has sounds, graphics, and even boosts the player's speed for a short time after it is used. It can be acquired using character editors. Some unused strings seem to suggest that other items could, or were planned to, increase the duration of Herbs. This could be related to how the beta version of Amazons had a "healing, movement and repair" skill tree instead of "passive and magic". Maybe the idea was for Amazons to have herbal medicine?

Elixirs#

Two different items for elixirs exist, but both use the blue elixir graphic. They don't do anything when used by the player and can be acquired with a character editor.

Organs#

Organs are a cut item that have the unique ability to transform into other items when right-clicked. They are also unique in that they take on the name of the monster who dropped them. For instance, if a Zombie drops a Heart, it will become a Zombie Heart. They can be acquired with a character editor, and when acquired through this means, they are referred to as Skeleton or Warriv depending on the game version.

A few of these organs can transform into other cut items, like a full healing potion.

According to an interview with David Brevik as to why these items were cut:

In terms of arguments around the office, there was a lot of controversy over [body parts]. One of the things that we had thought about doing was putting in the parts of the beasts that you killed, that they would drop their hearts or organs or claws or whatever, and we ended up going away from it. It was too gruesome, and we ended up taking it out, but that was a very controversial decision. And there were people that put signs on their doors, "Bring Back Body Parts' for weeks, months even, where people were upset about the decision that we were going to take those out. Because, a lot of people liked them, but, it was pretty graphic, so I can see why we did it. But, it was not a popular decision, and it was not a super popular decision with me. I thought it was gruesome but pretty fun.

Erich Schaefer portrays it as being more of a decision made by Blizzard South:

We would kind of try to push the limits and see how bloody and crazy we could make this game and just let our imaginations go wild, and they would try to rein us in. Body parts was a great example, though, where, it just felt too gruesome while we played. It just didn't feel right that there would be so much emphasis on these. And you could pick them up and put them in your inventory. And so, Blizzard South, as I recall, were the first people to complain. We pushed back immediately, because we do whatever we want to do, except, then, as we played, it didn't take long, after a week or two as body parts proliferated in the game, it just didn't sit well with any of us. I remember me specifically saying, "Yeah, you know what, these guys are right, let's redesign that whole idea.' Kind of the contrary, though, was my favorite skill of all time was Corpse Explosion, where you would just target a corpse and it would explode in bloody violence all over the screen. And that one people were a little taken aback by, especially, again, Blizzard South. But that one was so fun that it was the opposite, they realized after a couple weeks, "OK, yeah, that does fit the game.' It's gruesome but funny, and not gruesome like I'm carrying around hearts and lungs.

Torch#

The game includes graphics and data entries for a torch item, however it does not work when given to the player by a character editor. The graphics were used later for the Hellfire Torch charm as a reward for Pandemonium Event. Only the Paladin character class has animations for the torch being equipped.

Flaming Sword#

The Paladin class has animations for a flaming sword weapon. There are no items, however, which assign this animation to the player. Even if a mod adds such an item, the animations won't work correctly however since they are missing a secondary attack sequence, which causes the game to crash.

Full Set Animations#

When equipped the last piece of a set, this animation was supposed to play on that piece. It was probably cut because of how annoying it could be.

A similar effect was re-introduced in the Reign of the Warlock expansion to indicate a new item being added to the Chronicle.

Other Cut Sounds#

A whip sound effect. There are no icons, data or animations for a whip in the game.

A potion sound effect, copied from Diablo 1.

A sound effect that would've played when right clicking on a Scroll of Identify. At release, the game just plays the scroll sound effect.

A sound effect that would've played when using the Convert function. It's not exactly clear how this sound would've been played if Convert was a skill, since it's an inventory sound effect.

An Evil Hole sound effect, indicating that they were items at one point.

Objects

Cut Shrines#

The game has two known cut shrines: The Enirhs shrine (which reverses the player name) and the Exchange shrines. Both of them have some rudimentary code backing them up as well as strings and sound effects. However, they cannot be trivially spawned through .txt editing mods.

Shrine of Enirhs. That's shrine backwards!

Exchange Shrine

Some other shrine sound effect, called warping.wav

Obelisks#

These objects seem to gain power when you place a gem in them. They can be spawned, but will crash the game when used.

Guild Objects#

Guilds are a major cut feature from the game. After completing the game on Normal difficulty, a player could create a guild that other players could join, and later work towards upgrading their guild hall. Some of the graphics from that feature remain, including these objects:

Steeg Stone This object would have been where guild members could donate gold in order to eventually upgrade their guild hall.

Guild Vault. Presumably a chest accessible by all guild members.

Message Board. It would supposedly be like a guestbook that players could write notes to one another in.

Trophy Case. For storing trophies, one would assume?

Other Uncategorized Objects#

Generic Object data#

As released, the only use for the generic key object is opening treasure chests. However, code exists in the game to allow other objects in the environment (such as doors or shrines) to also be locked. But, as published, the game doesn't actually use that feature.
