Quests


These are all the quests in Diablo, and how to solve them. If you really are desperate to figure them out, then here they are. But reading them will ruin the fun of figuring them out yourself...


Butcher Quest



Quest Given From: The Wounded Townsman
Quest Summary: First find the room with the Butcher in it. It should be in a room on Lvl 2 with slain bodies in it. If you are a Warrior, obtain a shield, a sword, some leather armor, and many full healing potions. Open the door and let him come to you. When he gets close, try to get off with the first hit. With any luck, you should be able to pummel him to death. If you are a Rouge, find a room with a door and grating you can shoot through. Go to the Butcher and open the door. Run back to the room with grating and close the door. The Butcher's weakness is that he cannot open doors. With a bow, you should be able to kill him without taking any damage. Make sure the door with the grating can close. If you are a Sorcerer, open the door and make sure he sees you. Cast Fire Wall inside his chamber, right next to the door, and close the door. He should succumb to the flames. After he dies, pick up your reward, The Butcher's Cleaver.

Posioned Water



Quest Given From: Pepin
Quest Summary: When you start a game, if the water next to Cain is green, you have the quest. Go down to Lvl 2 of the dungeon, then come back and talk to Pepin. He tells you that the water of Tristram is going bad, and it's up to you to figure out what is causing it before the people die. Go back to Lvl 2 and look for a chamber with a crevice in it surrounded by candles. When you find the crevice (move cursor over it and it should say "Dark Passage") enter it. Inside you should find Goatmen, Dark Ones, and Devil Kin. Kill everything. On the upper right of the map, there should be a green river. If the water turns blue after killing everything, you have completed the quest. Go back to Pepin and he will reward you with The Ring of Truth.

King Leoric



Quest Given From: Odgen
Quest Summary: Enter his tome on the 3rd Lvl. Within the tome you should kill all enemies before flipping the switch in the room on the left. After everyone in the first section is dead, flip the switch which will open the grating. Go through the grating and try to kill the King as soon as possible. Don't try to kill the skeletons, because the King will just resurrect them. Holy Bolt works nicely on him, but hand-to-hand combat will prove to be fatal.

Odgen's Sign



Quest Given From: Ogden
Quest Summary: When Ogden informs you that his sign to his tavern is missing, go down to Level 4 and search for a Dark One named Snotspill. He will inform you that some 'big uglies' stole his sign, and that he wants it back. Search around Level 4 for a room with many Overlords and a chest nside. Open the chest to retrieve Ogden's sign. From this point, you can solve the quest via two methods. The first is to give the sign back to Snotspill. He will say that he can now cast great magic, and will ambush you with Overlords. Or, you can go give Ogden back his sign and get a magical it m as a reward.

Garbad the Weak

At this time he will tell you that he is still crafting your reward, and will give you some item to hold you over until then. Leave Level 4 and return to Garbad a second time, and he will tell you that he is almost done. Leave again and return to Garbad, and he will say that he has finished the item, but you must fight him for it. He is easy to kill, and when you do, pick up the random item he was making.

Arkaine's Valor

Zhar will get mad that you have done this, and will fight you. He will teleport around the room and shoot fireballs with his staff, making him very hard to get a hit on him without being hurt yourself.

Diablo



Quest Given From: Cain
Quest Summary: After you have killed Lazarus, head back to Cain in town. He will now tell you of the quest of Diablo, Lord of Terror. Retreat back down to Level 15, and walk into the pentagram to enter his lair. There are two ways to beat this level. The easy way is to go to the room in the lower left-hand corner of the map. Fight down there and there should be an enclosed room. Ready two scrolls of Telekinesis or the spell, and flip the two switches inside. Both must be flipped to free Diablo. Then go down the the lower right-hand corner of the map. Diablo should be in a room with many mages and blood knights. Try to kill most of the knights before luring out Diablo. After that, walk into the room a little, and run back out. Then back up against a wall. Diablo should come running out of the room. He will apocalypse you and claw you. Being against the wall will keep him from knocking you back. Hack at him or cast spells. Every spell will work except Stone Curse. The other way is to fight your way into a room in the upper left-hand corner of the map. There will be a room with mages and knights in it. There is a small enclosure in the room. Inside, there will be a switch. Flip the switch. Then go to the upper right-hand corner of the map. There is another enclosure. Go to the backside and go in. There will be another switch in there. Flip it. Then go to the lower left-hand corner on the map. That enclosed room is no longer enclosed. Kill everything in there and flip both switches. Then have at Diablo.
