Login to GOG.com and download the offline installer: setup_diablo_1.09_hellfire_v2_(30038).exe
Download and install Inno Setup Extractor
Run Inno Setup Extractor and follow the on-screen instructions
During step 1, select the offline installer you downloaded from GOG.com
During step 2, it is highly recommended to create a new folder to extract the files into so they can be easily cleaned up afterward
Locate the app icon for DevilutionX and long press to access additional options
Select the Import Data option from the list
In the file browser that appears, navigate to the directory from step 2 of the Inno Setup Extractor and select DIABDAT.MPQ
This may take a few seconds, the file browser will close automatically when the import is complete
If you would like to play the Hellfire expansion, repeat this import process for the hellfire.mpq, hfmonk.mpq, hfmusic.mpq, and hfvoice.mpq files in the hellfire subdirectory
Open DevilutionX to start playing
Note: The import process copies the MPQ files into external storage for the DevilutionX app. Once you have verified that the app is working, feel free to delete the DevilutionX directory to free up space.
Open DevilutionX then close it
