 Inside one of them you'll find the Orifice.  You must insert the completed Horadric Staff into the orifice, and it will put on a pretty light show and break open a wall, leading down to Tal Rasha's tomb.
-This is probably the single-deadliest spot in the entire game, as the massive Lesser Evil Duriel awaits you inside the small tomb, and he hits very, very hard.  It's a very good idea to do this part of the game with some tank character or minions if you aren't a massive melee fighter type character with hit points galore.  This is especially true on Nightmare and Hell.

 [[Image:Quests-a2-q6-duriel.jpg|left|frame|Duriel.]]Duriel has a huge damage charge attack, but once you close to melee range he's less deadly, with a bash and jab attack.  He also has a Holy Freeze aura, so you'll always be slowed down as you try to run from him and will be hitting him more slowly as well.  Lots of hit points and a minion or two to take the initial charge from him is required, unless you have Barbarian or Druid style huge hit points.
