  • Tyrael It is good to see you again, hero. Mephisto’s defeat is a great victory for the Light. I knew that you would eventually find your way here. The Pandemonium Fortress is the last bastion of Heaven’s power before the Gates of the Burning Hells. This place has been hallowed by the blood of thousands of champions of the Light, many of whom were mortal, like yourself. Now the final battle against the Prime Evils...

  • Deckard Cain Can you believe this place? Did you ever dare to dream that you’d one day stand upon the crossroads between Heaven and Hell? This Pandemonium Fortress is truly miraculous. However, your journey is not yet over. Diablo still roams free in Hell, marshalling his demonic forces. Only when he is beaten will our world finally have peace. Hurry now . . . the sands of time slow for no one! The time has...

  • Tyrael Congratulations, hero! Surely, even Diablo, himself, sensed the fury unleashed when you smashed his Brother’s Soulstone. But beware, the Lord of Terror is not to be underestimated. He single-handedly destroyed the town of Tristam and corrupted the last noble hero who tried to stop him. This time, you must defeat him for good. Only by destroying the Soulstone which he carries will his spirit be banished forever. Good luck! Though this be our darkest...

  • Griez I’ll bet you wonder how this town manages to stay safe with all the trouble going on out in the desert. Well, I can tell you that it’s got nothing to do with the local town guards… they’re all in the palace for some reason. Jerhyn hired me and my mercenaries to help keep the peace around here. We’re not cheap, but we’re the best this wasteland has to offer. Elzix Hmm… You look...

  • Warriv Greetings, stranger. I’m not surprised to see your kind here. Many adventurers have traveled this way since the recent troubles began. No doubt you’ve heard about the tragedy that befell the town of Tristram. Some say that Diablo, the Lord of Terror, walks the world again. I don’t know if I believe that, but a Dark Wanderer did travel this route a few weeks ago. He was headed east to the mountain pass guarded...

  • Killing monsters in the Jungle, one random monster will drop a jade figurine, which triggers a new quest:  The Golden Figurine. Ask Cain about the Jade figurine. Show Meshif the Figurine. Meshif Praise you! That jade figurine will complete the set I was collecting. Here! I’ve had this statuette of a golden bird for years, but I consider it a fair exchange. Ask Cain about the Golden Bird . Deckard Cain I’ve read legends about...

  • Ormus You have done well, my friend. Your courage and valor are an inspiration to us all. But now the time has come to face those responsible for the evil that has stifled our land. You must destroy the High Council of Zakarum! Long ago, these elders were charged with the stewardship of Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred, who was imprisoned within the Guardian Tower. Through the generations, these pious men slowly fell more and...

  • Ormus You must know that the Guardian Tower in the Temple City was built by the Horadrim for one purpose – to hold Mephisto. Once the Council is dead, you may enter the Tower.

It will be difficult to get past them. Meshif It...

  • Alkor It pains me to waste time with you, so I’ll get right to the point. There is a very special book which you must find for me. It was written long ago by a sage known as Lam Esen, who studied Skatsimi magic and the effects of the Prime Evils on the mortal world. The Black Book was lost when the Children of Zakarum took over this land. Now, you must reclaim it without...
