Natalya is an NPC found in the Kurast Docks. She is located on the large stone island south of the stash and waypoint, where she remains until nearly the end of the Act, when she vanishes without a trace. Not much was thought of Natalya during the early days of Diablo II, but once the expansion was announced and the Assassin character was revealed, players realized that Natalya was an Assassin, meant as a sort of Easter Egg/sneak preview of the class that Blizzard North knew they would be adding in the expansion pack.

She does not give any quests or quest rewards, but her dialogues are interesting for the plot points they touch on, and what they reveal about the nature of the Assassin class.

Act Three Dialogues

Introduction

Greetings, hero. I've heard of your exploits and . . . I'm quite impressed. Very few mortals are capable of dealing with the Three and their minions as you have.

My name is Natalya. I am a hunter of Evil, part of an ancient Order sworn to hunt down corrupted sorcerers.

If I could, I would gladly join your quest to stop the Three. But I must wait here for further news. I can't predict what will happen, but the danger is greater than we can know.

Until I receive my orders, I'll assist you with the information I have.

The Golden Bird

After Given

I'm having fun just watching you run from place to place searching for a Golden Bird. Some hero you are.

Early Return

Don't tell me you believe in all of that 'life after death' nonsense. You should be more concerned with avoiding death than making plans for after it finds you.

Success

I must admit, your foolish quest made little sense to me. But now I see the value of your actions. I believe you do possess great wisdom.

The Blade of the Old Religion

After Given

Don't let the Gidbinn's size fool you. Though it is only a small dagger, it holds tremendous power when in the hands of a true Skatsimi mage.

Early Return

You'd best get back out there and find that blade. The jungle creeps further into this camp by the hour.

Success

You are truly amazing, stranger. There are precious few items in the world that would tempt me to go up against the Children of Zakarum and their midget minions.

Khalim's Will

Only Cain has dialogues that pertain to this quest.

Lam Esen's Tome

After Given

I've heard of the Black Book. My Order's code is based on many of its passages. If you find it, I will be greatly impressed.

Early Return

I hope you find the Black Book soon. I could use something to read while I wait for my orders

Success

So, you've returned with the Book. You surprise me. You must be very resourceful.

The Blackened Temple

Most NPCs have two sets of dialogues during this quest. The first is seen when a character has already completed the Khalim's Will quest, and that the Zakarum are therefore no longer a threat. The other (more commonly seen by players) is delivered before Khalim's Will has been completed.

After Given

You are incredibly brave to venture into the lion's den. I wish you luck.

Alternate: Beware the followers of Zakarum. Their fanaticism is their greatest weapon.

Early Return

I respect your need to do this. Honor demands that you see this through. Yet your chances are so slim…

Success

I can hardly believe you did it. Your power blankets you like a shining aura.

The Guardian

Most NPCs have two sets of dialogues during this quest. The default assumes the Black Book and Khalim's Will quest are completed. The alternate is only used if they have not been.

After Given

Now you rush to face Mephisto. Don't give in to your hatred. That is his greatest weapon against you.

Early Return

Beware, my friend. Sankekur may be the most powerful mortal in the world. He controls thousands of fanatical worshippers and embodies the Lord of Hatred, himself. His death will be no easy task.

Success

Word is spreading fast that you killed Mephisto. I'd be honored to fight beside you in Hell, but I've just received my mission orders. I'll be traveling to the Barbarian lands of the North, but I can't tell you why. With luck, our paths will cross again. Farewell.

Gossips

Asheara...? Oh, she's is a tough-talking mage, but I'd wager she's never faced true Evil. Pampering drunken mercenaries is one thing, but standing face to face with a hell-spawned demon is another.

I've heard the name of Deckard Cain many times. He's the last of the Horadrim, and thus, I must honor him. You must be powerful, indeed, if one such as he accompanies you.

Hratli is a master craftsman. My Order could make use of one with his unique skills.

My Order has been keeping watch over Ormus for many years, now. He seems to champion the cause of good, but who knows what shadow lurks within his soul?
