	[[Hephasto]] was one of the most feared monsters in the game prior to v1.08. He was always Cursed, Extra Strong, and Magic Resistant, did huge damage, and had a lot of foot speed. Hep spawning with Might or Extra Fast was a terrifying sight; he could outrun most characters in a footrace, and packed a potential one-hit kill for many types of characters. ~~MOst~~ players, especially hardcore characters, lived in dread of his section of the River of Flame, and ran for their lives if they got close enough while exploring to trigger his quest button to pop up. He's ''much'' less fearsome in v1.08 and the Expansion, with Spectral Hit and Conviction instead of his earlier mods, and he's not as quick either, so killing him solo is no longer a real test of your skills or technique.

	Diablo is found in the Chaos Sanctuary, and you must release him by opening the seals you find around the level. There are five seals in three locations. Three of the Seals will spawn a fearsome pack of boss monsters, and opening all five and killing all of the three seal bosses will make Diablo appear in the center of the pentagram of fire in the middle of the level.

Three of the Seals will spawn a fearsome pack of boss monsters, and opening all five and killing all of the three seal bosses will make Diablo appear in the center of the pentagram of fire in the middle of the level.

	The Chaos Sanctuary is the most difficulty area in the game for most character types~~, much worse than anything you see in Act Five even~~. ~~You must have very good~~ resistances here, and it's especially dangerous for melee characters due to the ~~Obsidian~~ Knights casting Iron Maiden, ~~which~~ will cause a melee ~~char~~ to kill themselves with their next attack ~~or two in most cases~~.		The Chaos Sanctuary is among the most difficulty area in the game for most character types. Characters will want high resistances here, and it's especially dangerous for melee characters due to the [[Oblivion Knights]] casting Iron Maiden, a curse that will often cause an afflicted melee character to kill themselves with their next attack.

	The Bowazon is the best suited for clearing out the CS solo, with her ranged attack and Valkyrie and Decoy to keep her from being swarmed or fired at too much. Her partying with a Sorceress with long range Static Field makes for a very fast clear. Necromancers are useful here too, with a Bowazon or Sorceress to kill while protected by his minions.

	There is no reward for this quest other than what Diablo drops~~. He can drop very good stuff~~ though, ~~and~~ usually ~~kicks out 4 or 6 items in v1.08.

	'''Tips:''' The Seals that release the Seal Bosses are always the same, depending on the layout of the level. De Seis always has one seal, so no wondering there. He used to appear right on top of it some times, but in the Expansion he's always over far to the left, in the hallway coming towards his Seal. The Grand Vizier is always to the left, if there is a single hallway with a corner there, the first Seal you reach will always release him. If there is a fork there, the Seal to the right will release him. For the Infector of Souls, if there is a single hallway with a Seal in the middle, and then a pair of right turns into a Cul de Sac, it's always the Seal in the back corner. If there is a shorter straight hallway with Seals on both sides, it's always the first Seal you reach. Knowing which Seal is going to release them is useful to get ready for their appearance.

	All the seal bosses can spawn with MSLE on Hell, so be wary of them appearing close to you and spitting out lightning of death. They can't have MSLE on Nightmare, so there is less to worry about there. Besides, in v1.10 and later MSLE is no longer especially dangerous.

His ~~Pink Lightning (often referred to as~~ LBoD for "Lightning Bolt of Death"~~) is the most damaging attack~~ in the ~~game, dealing 50% Lightning~~ and ~~50% Physical damage~~. ~~You can resist the Lightning and Block the physical~~, but it ~~does huge damage anyway. All~~ players quickly learn to run ~~from it and in~~ circles around Diablo~~, so~~ he~~'s spinning~~ and ~~trailing you with the LBoD~~.		[[Diablo]] is a difficult fight for many characters. He dies more quickly than [[Baal]], but can deal far more damage while he remains alive. Diablo was much more dangerous prior to the expansion, since his Firestorm ground flame attack could hit nearby targets many, many times, potentially killing almost any character in a blink. His pink lighting was very hazardous too, dangerous enough that D2 players dubbed it the LBoD, for "Lightning Bolt of Death." It too has been much nerfed in the Expansion (v1.07 and later) and is no longer lethal. It doesn't even hit characters at melee range, but it can hurt ranged attackers quite a bit, and most players quickly learn to run circles around Diablo when he fires this inferno-like spell and tracks it after his target.

	~~His LBoD is toned down in v1.08, doing a lot less instant damage, but his Fire ground attack is much improved.~~ Diablo also has a very high blocking rate, which makes him last a lot longer than you expect, and makes him seem almost impossible to hit at times.
