Griswold

Griswold was the NPC blacksmith in Tristram, the only town area in Diablo I. His hearty, "What kin I do fer ya?" greeting, delivered in a hearty brogue, was one of the trademarks of the game. (Voice by Bill Roper.) He doesn't have a speaking role in Diablo II, but makes an appearance as a monster, corrupted and twisted into an undead demon by the destruction that engulfed Tristram following the conclusion of Diablo I.

Griswold is slow of foot, but can take a lot of damage, and hits quite hard, especially when characters are handicapped by the Amplify Damage his Cursed state inflicts. Tearing him apart from a distance is a safer bet than tanking him toe to toe, so use your ranged attack if you've got that option.

Griswold can not be stunned or knocked back by anything other than the Sanctuary Aura.
