Griswald
After Diablo was slain in the catacombs beneath the town of Tristram, a grand
celebration that lasted several days was held. The hero that defeated the Lord
of Terror looked as if he had walked through Hell itself, and as the weeks
passed, he kept his distance from the rest of the townsfolk and seemed to lapse
into a dark, brooding depression. One day, he simply left. And shortly
thereafter Tristram was attacked by legions of foul demons. While many of the
townsfolk were merely slain, some were forced into cursed servitude.
The stout blacksmith Griswald was one of those who were bound past death to
attend the desires of The Three. Wandering the town he once loved, he uses
powers and an unholy strength granted to his twisted body by Andariel to stop
any from following the path of the Wanderer.
Tips and Other Additional Information
Griswald will curse with
Amplify Damage if he can hit you. If possible stay out of melee range to avoid
being cursed.
To rescue Deckard Cain in the Field
of Stones quest, you must travel back to the ruined town of Tristram and wander
through its ashes in search for the Horadrim monk. The ruins are inhabited by
the usual Fallen, skeletons, goatmen, and zombie monsters. Chief amongst the
latter is the special Zombie boss, Griswold, whom many will recognize as the
blacksmith from Diablo I.
The once noble smith was killed when
the demons invaded Tristram, and his undead form guards the burning ruins of the
town. Though slow, he is very strong, and takes quite a while to kill. He also
has an amplify damage curse he uses whenever he lands a hit, which can rapidly
drain the hitpoints players as they get tagged by lesser monsters running around
the area.
