==Dungeon Elements==
The world of Diablo is much smaller than that of Diablo II. The only town is Tristram, beneath which there are [[Diablo Levels|16 dungeon levels]] grouped into four sets of four levels each. Going down, they are referred to as the Church (or Cathedral), the Catacombs (Cats), the Caves, and Hell. The uppermost level of each new dungeon section has a stairway up to town, and in multiplayer games it's possible for characters of a sufficient level to descend directly to level 5, 9, or 13.
===Shrines===
Another major difference between SP and MP Diablo and Hellfire is level up speed. Multiplayer monsters have more hit points, and are worth far less experience. Characters gain no more than 200 exp/Clvl in MP Diablo or Hellfire (up to 10,000 at level 50), while there is no cap in SP, and each monster in hell can be worth 100,000 and more. A SP character can reach level 44 or 45 in the time it takes to get to level 29 or 30 in multiplayer, and getting an MP character over level 40 requires many dozens more games than it does in singleplayer.
===Battle.net===
Monsters display kill counters in Diablo, and each time you bag one of a given type, the number of killed goes up. At 15 kills you get some information on the monster's resistances, and at 30 kills you are shown the full resistances and immunities.
One special monster to notein Diablo: The Black Death is a bright yellow zombie found on levels 3-5. They permanently steal one of your hit points each time they strike you, and should be avoided at all cost. Do not fight them melee, if you can help it, and do not let them hit you or that's a hit point you will never get back. Overall most Diablo I monsters were of demonic origin likely due to the "imported" from the Burning Hells thanks to the Lord of Terror's influence underground. This is in contrast to Diablo II, where a significant number of monsters were natural animals of the outdoors who had been corrupted by the Dark Wanderer's presence.
