Changes

There's almost no reason to bother with this, since Diablo drops like a regular monster (albeit one with the highest level in the game), so his odds of dropping anything at all are very low, much less something magical and of a good item type. Still, it's fun to get his drop, so here's how. Wear him down almost to death, and while he's cooking in your firewall or being pelted by your Guardians or golem, cast Telekinesis so the grabbing cursor appears. Don't click it though, just wait like that, and when Diablo succumbs and (if he) drops something, you can use the TK cursor to grab it, while standing frozen as Diablo spouts blood and gives his death scream. You must have room in your inventory to hold the item or gold he drops.

Or It's easier if you're playing multiplayer with friends, just . Just have someone wait in town or anywhere other than level 16, with a town portal left to 16. They will remain in the game when Diablo dies and everyone on 16 is force exitedbooted from the game. Then rejoin the game and use their portal to head straight back to 16, to finish off the level, pick up Diablo's drop, or simply dance around in triumph.
