Act 2

Radament's Lair

Objective

Find and eliminate Radament.

General Notes

Radament can be found on the third level of the Sewers. There are many Burning Archers on the way (whose arrows deal fire damage), so be prepared. Radament himself also surrounds himself with a horde of undead, which he will revive.

Quest Reward

A Book of Skill is dropped by Radament upon death, equal to the amount of players in the game who have not completed the quest.

The Horadric Staff

Objective

Recreate the Horadric Staff.

General Notes

To create the staff, you need the parts, and to put the parts together, you need the Horadric Cube. The Horadric Staff can be found on the second level of the Maggot Lair, while the Viper Amulet can be acquired from the Viper Temple. The Horadric Cube itself can be found on the third level of the Halls of the Dead.

Quest Reward

The Horadric Staff which you need to open Duriel's lair in The Seven Tombs quest.

Tainted Sun

Objective

Destroy the Altar at the bottom of the Viper Temple

General Notes

The Viper Temple can be reached after progressing through the Lost City. One side effect from initiating this quest is that it will always be night time in Act II as long as the Altar has not yet been kicked. After finding the Altar, a simple left-click completes the quest.

Quest Reward

The Viper Amulet

The Arcane Sanctuary

Objective

To find Horazon's Journal.

General Notes

You may not enter the palace until you talk to Drognan after completing the Tainted Sun quest. In the center of the third level is a portal which must be activated. After activation, enter the portal to the Arcane Sanctuary. Horazon's Journal is located at the end of one of the four branches of the Sanctuary, guarded by the Summoner, a Vizjerei mage of questionable sanity who attacks you with Fire Wall, Fire Ball, Frost Nova, and a particularly vicious Glacial Spike. You can ignore the Summoner and simply read the journal to complete the quest, but due to the Summoner's lack of hit points and high damage it is generally preferable to dispose of him first.

Quest Reward

A portal to the Canyon of the Magi, which contains the Tomb of Tal Rasha. For players who have not completed the Seven Tombs quest, this will provide information on which tomb is the 'real' one.

The Summoner

Objective

Find the false Summoner and kill him.

General Notes

The Archane Sanctuary consists of four legs. The false Summoner is at the end of one of them, but which one?

Quest Reward

Access to the The Seven Tombs and the identity of the correct tomb.

The Seven Tombs

Objective

Kill Duriel.

General Notes

Duriel can be found in one of the seven tombs. Each tomb is represented by a unique symbol, whose locations are not random and are the same for each game. The correct sign, and therefore the correct tomb in which to look for Duriel, will be shown in your Quest Log. You must have the Horadric Staff to open the tomb for the first time.

Quest Reward

Quest drop if a player needing the quest kills Duriel and access to Act III.
