Ever wondered what it’d be like to swap your Barbarian's battle cries for the world-shredding roar of Baal, Lord of Destruction? The Play as Baal mod for Diablo II: Resurrected lets you do just that. Think of it as flipping the script—running through Sanctuary not as the hero, but as the final boss.

What Does “Play as Baal” Actually Do?
In a nutshell, you become the Prime Evil thanks to a transformation charm created in the Horadric Cube.
-
Baal Clone: Summon a destructive doppelgänger to fight alongside you.
-
Incineration Nova: Release waves of scorching fire.
-
Hoarfrost: Send chilling blasts that freeze enemies in their tracks.
-
Baal Tentacles: Tear through crowds with writhing appendages.
-
Teleport: Blink across the map like the ruler of the Burning Hells.
To trigger the transformation, just cube together any key and a Town Portal Scroll to create the Baal Transformation Charm. Equip it—and boom—you're Baal, overpowered and unstoppable.
Chaos, Destruction, and Overkill
Let’s be real: this mod isn't about balance. It’s about chaos. If you ever fancied yourself as a walking cataclysm, this is your moment.
-
Use fiery novas to char every mob in sight.
-
Freeze elites with Hoarfrost while summoning your clone to slam the hits.
-
Tear entire packs to shreds with tentacles, then teleport away like a demon sprinter.
It’s perfect for sandbox-style playthroughs or messing around in single-player chaos zones. A wild, over-the-top experience with all hell as your playground.
Setup & Compatibility
It runs on D2RMM (Diablo II: Resurrected Mod Manager)—tested on version 1.7.3. Just dump the files, turn it on, and you’re good to go. Worried about online play? This is strictly single-player chaos. Using mods like this in online matches can trigger anti-cheat systems, potentially leading to bans—so stick to solo madness.
A Fun, Impure Twist on Diablo Nostalgia
Baal transformation isn't exactly canonical, but it hits that modding sweet spot: familiar yet anarchic. Whether you're into grinding for loot, enjoying the casino thrill of RNG, or just want to watch Sanctuary burn from Baal’s hot seat—you’re in for a treat.
Enjoy vintage Diablo II visuals, modern Resurrected graphics, and a dose of unhinged power fantasy. It adds a flavor not many mods do: pure villainy with style.
Heads-Up: Known Bugs and Quirks
-
Charm may deactivate when traveling between Acts—just re-equip it if that happens.
-
Carrying more than two charms can cause life display issues.
-
Skill tooltips don’t always match actual damage—because who cares when you're stacking tentacles?
Bottom line: a few rough edges, but those are part of the experience.
Why This Mod Stands Out
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill skill tweak or texture swap. It’s boss mode. It’s rare to see a mod that lets you embody a Big Bad, complete with mechanics, animations, a unique charm, and unspeakable power. If you're curious what it’s like to tear through Sharkskin in esports-level hoverbos, but from Baal’s perspective—give it a whirl.
