Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale The Sightless Eye Secret of the Vizjerei The Infernal Gate The Harrowing Lord of Destruction Special Siege on Harrogath Rescue on Arreat Prison of Ice Betrayal of Harrogath Rite of Passage Eve of Destruction Goal Kill Nihlathak Prerequisites Rescue Anya Notes Nihlathak is in the Halls of Vaught. Much like the Arcane Sanctuary there are four legs. However, it is possible to find Nihlathak by looking for an eye picture. Nihlathak will use Corpes Explosion to kill you, so kill him first. Reward Anya will personalize an item for you. Navigation Enter Anya's portal to Nihlathak's Temple, then cross courtyard and walk into temple itself to find entrance to Halls of Anguish, guarded by Pindleskin and his Defiled Warrior minions. Courtyard itself is strewn with Prowling Dead corpses which will resurrect themselves, shortly after player enters through portal. Halls of Anguish Entrance point is in middle of Halls of Anguish. While halls may appear labyrinthine, there is little variation in layout and exit to Halls of Pain can only be in one of three locations, the path to which is indicated by visual clues. To find exit most quickly, begin by turning right, and then left until standing in first corner. If there are cages stacked in this corner and highlighted block is not shaped like a small L or a question mark, then exit can be found by following first path. Otherwise, turn corner to left and continue to second corner. If there is no cage in this corner and highlighted block is not shaped like a small L, then exit can be found by following second path. Otherwise, exit can be found by following third path. [1] [2] Halls of Pain Entrance point is in middle of Halls of Pain. As with previous level, exit to Halls of Vaught can only be in one of three locations, the path to which is indicated by visual clues. To find exit most quickly, begin by turning right, and then left until standing in first corner. If there are cages stacked in this corner and highlighted block is not shaped like a small L or a question mark, then exit can be found by following first path. Otherwise, turn corner to left and continue to second corner. If there is no cage in this corner and highlighted block is not shaped like a small L, then exit can be found by following second path. Otherwise, exit can be found by following third path. [3] [4] Waypoint can be found by following blue path. Activating it will cause Anya's portal to close when quest is completed, which is undesirable if Pindleskin is to be run for items, or portal used to quickly exit and enter town to refresh Anya's inventory. However, if Nihlathak is to be run for Key of Destruction, activating waypoint can allow this to be done more quickly. Halls of Vaught Entrance to Halls of Vaught is in central hub at junction of four halls. Nihlathak can be found at end of one of them. Hall in which Nihlathak can be found is indicated by pair of red eyes on wall at entrance to hall. Although these eyes appear on walls throughout temple, they are only present on one of the normally blank walls indicated above when Nihlathak is present in that hall. Clockwise from top left, his presence is indicated by eyes on north wall at north hall entrance, east wall at east hall entrance, east wall of south hall entrance or north wall of west hall entrance.
