What weapon do I need to finish the first quest of Diablo?

Question

I'm stuck in the first quest of Diablo. I keep getting beat down by huge skeletons with staffs and some creatures in yellow outfits. I can't seem to get past them all to get to what's-his-name's tomb. I don't have a strategy guide for this game either. Although the stategy guide for D2 hasn't done me much good yet. Although I did just start that game as well.

Edit: My character for D1 is a barbarian.

Answer 1

I believe you are talking about king Lorics tomb I think thats how its spelled well anyway you might want to spend some time leveling since the king can be kind of hard but if you'd rather just go then try beating all the skeletons slowly so you only have to a fight a few at a time and try to make them follow you down to the entrence to the tomb becuase the king can bring them back to life this can help keep him from doind so, this is an optional mission and you dont get anything that is needed to finish the game but you will get a good crown from the king and a bunch of items that can potentially be good plus the money and exp aint half bad.

Answer 2

If i were u i would grind first to get some money ,items and experience.After that buy pots and head to defeat them.I cant remember that part since i haven touch the game for years.But whenever u cant defeat a monster means
your equipment aren't as good or u didn't spam pots.

goodluck
