Geglash can be found in Act II of Diablo II and is a warrior who spends a lot of time drinking in Atma's public house and seems to think of nothing but drinking and fighting, though some dialogue with the player character suggests he may be interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with Atma, and that he possesses a measure of sympathy for her situation. He admires the Barbarians for their ferocity, and for their dual wielding abilities. He tells Barbarian characters that he never developed the latter ability, but can carry a sword and a wineskin simultaneously. He is afraid of one thing however, water, and he will not go near it or ships for any reason. He spends his days drunk in Atma's Tavern, not much use as a soldier. He started drinking because the demons were getting too much for him.

Geglash is one of two NPCs in the Diablo series who spends all of his time drinking; the other being Farnham the Drunk from the original Diablo.

Introduction

• General

Bah! I don't know why you people keep pestering me.

Greiz seems to have this place locked down nice and tight. Not that I couldn't have done the same! I've proven my valor in combat plenty of times.

• Barbarian

Hey, you're a Barbarian, aren't ya? Ferocious as the wild beasts of the north, that's what they say. I suppose you've come to help save this city. You needn't bother.

Gossip

• Harem guilds

Sure, I hear lots of what goes on. Did you hear about the harem guilds? They were the only ones allowed to hide out in the palace when the raids started!

Ah... It figures.

• Demons

I've killed plenty of those demons out in the desert. It doesn't seem to slow them down any, though... they just keep coming back for more.

• Sand Maggots

Have you found those big sand maggots yet? Arrows and all that don't work so well against them. Best thing is to hack 'em with a sword or such.

• Ancient tombs

There are some ancient tombs out there in the desert. You have to go pretty far to find them, though. Rumor has it that they're crawling with walking corpses now.

As if the Saber Cats and Claw Vipers weren't bad enough.

• Meshif

Yeah. Meshif's okay, I guess. But I'll be damned if I ever get on his ship. I don't even like to drink water.

• Jerhyn

Jerhyn's been acting strange lately. I can't imagine why he recalled the town guards into the palace. If there is something wrong in there, I hope he doesn't expect me to handle it.

• Fara

I've seen Fara defend herself against a few drunken ruffians. She's got moves I've never even seen before. Wherever she's from, she sure learned how to fight there.

• Lysander

I've got no time for old alchemists. Lysander would be completely useless in a real fight.

• Two-handed (Barbarian)

Hey, I heard that you Barbarians can wield multiple weapons at once. I never learned to fight two-handed. Carrying a sword and a wineskin at the same time is all I can ever handle.

Radament's Lair

• After Initiate

Hey... Don't touch my drink or I'll bore a hole into your skull with my thumb.

• Early Return

Ah-hah! Back for a small shot of courage... Believe me, it doesn't help for long.

Drinks, barkeep!

• Upon Completion

Whoah oh... 'Radament the Fallen', is it?

I've fallen off many a barstool and no one calls me 'Geglash the Fallen'. They might go so far as to say, 'Geglash, you've fallen!'

Tainted Sun

• After Initiate

This whole place is one big ale fog.

• Early Return

It's strange when the morning after the night before... is still the same night.

• Upon Completion

So, this is daylight... It's over-rated.

Arcane Sanctuary

• After Initiate

Look, look... I'm just about as tough and arrogant as they come, but you'd never catch me trying to tame a demon for a pet. That's just asking for a lot of trouble.

• Early Return

All my years of brawling, of pummeling both the unsuspecting and the deserving, have yielded two insights. You can either fight or you can run. All other strategies are variations of these.

• Upon Completion

Hah! I wish Jerhyn would've let me in the palace. I would've saved those girls and kicked demon ass back to the fire-pits o' Hell!

The Summoner

• Early Return

So! Horazon's crazy, eh? I'd be surprised if he wasn't. All those centuries without ale would drive anyone to drink... but then you couldn't drink. And that would drive you to drink... Hah?... What was the question?

• Upon Completion

The way I see it... Well, it's all pretty blurry.

The Seven Tombs

• After Initiate

Ohh... I'd go with ya' to those tombs... But... umm... I don't like all that living dead stuff.

• Upon Completion

You're an inspiration! And such a hero that it makes me look twice as bad...

Ahh, you're OK... Hey! Just save some glory for us little guys, huh?

Gossip about Geglash

Some of the other locals give their thoughts concerning Geglash.

• Atma

Geglash may seem like a sot, but he's a brave man. All this trouble has driven him to drinking more than his usual.

• Fara

Geglash is too confident in his abilities. A warrior's true strength is in his heart.

• Elzix

Geglash is a fool who would fight his own shadow if he could. Fighting's all he ever thinks about!

• Greiz

Geglash is an imposing warrior, but he's never been able to back down from a fight. One of these days, his pride will be the death of him.

• Meshif

Hah! That braggart Geglash says he fears neither man nor beast. Yet, when I offer to take him out to sea, he quakes with fear.
