| - This final quest in the original Diablo involves the Dark Lord of Terror himself. This quest is initiated by Deckard Cain anytime after killing Archbishop Lazarus. The pentagram symbol on the fifteenth level of the dungeon turns into a portal to the sixteenth level, the lair of Diablo himself. It is filled with Advocates and Blood Knights, including the unique knight Sir Gorash. There are four corner rooms, only one of which is accessible at first. Pulling the skull lever in that room opens the second, and pulling the lever in the second room opens the third. The third room has two skull levers and both must be pulled to open the fourth and final room. In this room, there is a pentagram on the floor, and it is heavily guarded. A row of Blood Knights forms the outer defense with Advocates behind them. In the very center of the room is an enemy denoted as "The Dark Lord", which is Diablo himself. Surprisingly, he is not a unique monster. He uses the mighty Apocalypse spell, and cannot be Stone Cursed. Defeating him completes the quest, and the game ends in victory.
