This quest ends the game in ''Diablo II'', and enables access to Act Five in ''Diablo II: Lord of Destruction''. Diablo is found in the Chaos Sanctuary. He appears in the center of the large pentagram after the five seals have been opened and the three seal bosses have been killed or moved out of the Chaos Sanctuary. | ||

Like many of the monsters in Diablo II, Diablo was a lot harder in earlier versions of the game. Prior to v1.08, his Firestorm (ground fire) attack could insta-kill virtually any character who took it point blank, since there were so many overlapping pixels of flame at melee range. Maximum fire resistance was essential, along with fire absorption, and digging in for a long toe-to-toe slugfest with Diablo was almost sure suicide. Hit and run tactics had to be employed, in those days. | Like many of the monsters in Diablo II, Diablo was a lot harder in earlier versions of the game.
