- [[Patch]].txt for [[1.11]]
 +
 +
 +
A new challenge introduced in patch 1.11, this is not available in [[Single Player]] or [[Classic]].
 +
 +
 +
==Key collecting==
 +
First stage involves killing particular monsters in Hell for keys dropped and then use them to create portals in [[Harrogath]] in [[Act 5]]. All should be familiar to players since they already need to be killed to complete quests (although none of these quests is normally mandatory).
 +
*Chance is for when playing solo: [[Better Chance of Getting Magic Items]] does not improve drop chance, although playing in games with additional players does.
 +
*Multiple keys can be dropped per kill, maximum five (although this is unlikely).
 +
*Multiple keys of the same type can be present in inventory and stash: each requires 1x2 inventory space to pick up.
 +
*Players normally collect three of each key before organ collecting.

==Organ collecting==
 +
*When in [[Harrogath]] of [[Act 5]] in Hell, place one of each key in [[Horadric Cube|{{Ub|=Horadric Cube}}]] and transmute to generate portal to one of three areas: take care, since all look identical and only their label distinguishes them.
 +
*Since area is randomly selected from those which have not already been accessed in that game, it is advisable to collect ''three'' sets of keys and create portals to all three areas in the same game: be sure to move to different positions for subsequent portals, otherwise they may be difficult or impossible to use.
 +
*[[Melee]] [[attack]]ers specialising in physical damage are recommended for the remainder of this quest, with [[Paladin (Diablo II)|Paladin]]s using [[Smite]] being particularly popular since it always hits and cannot be [[block]]ed. This is because monsters including the [[boss]]es themselves have one or two immunities that cover all damage types, many of which cannot be removed. However, none of bosses is [[Immune to Physical]], and those monsters that are can have it removed by [[Decrepify]] or [[Amplify Damage]], or ignored by [[Sanctuary (skill)|Sanctuary]] (since they are [[undead]]).
 +
*[[Prevent Monster Heal]] does not apply to any of the bosses encountered for the remainder of this quest. All have 650,000-660,000 ''base'' life, resulting in 15,869 <sub>36/256</sub> - 16,113 <sub>72/256</sub> [[damage regeneration]] per second, increasing by 50% with each additional player in game at time of spawning. [[Poison Damage]], [[Open Wounds]] and skills applying damage every frame (like [[Immolation Arrow]] or [[Meteor]] pyres and [[Fire Wall]]) can stop regeneration entirely.
 +
*Melee attackers are also recommended due to ability to apply [[Crushing Blow]] and benefit from [[Life Stolen]] per hit or [[Life Tap]], or deliver massive damage to a single target which always hits and cannot be blocked (like an [[Amazon]] using [[Charged Strike]]).
 +
*Characters specialising in [[Cold Damage]] and [[Poison Damage]] will be unable to kill bosses in all three areas.
 +
*Enter portals and search areas for bosses.
 +
<br>
 +
 +
===Diablo's Horn===
 +
*[[Matron's Den]] has same appearance as [[Forgotten Tower]] cellars, as seen when collecting key from [[The Countess|{{Ub|=The Countess}}]].
 +
 +
 +
[[File:Lilith.png|center|frame|[[Lilith|{{Ub|=Lilith}}]] is an [[Extra Fast]] [[Multiple Shots]] [[Poison Enchanted]] [[boss]] and [[Evil]] who is always [[Immune to Poison]] (185%). {{Warn|=Neither bonuses nor immunity are displayed.}} [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/99774-the-secrets-of-uber-tristram/&do=findComment&comment=1496997] ]]
 +
 +
 +
*While similar to [[Andariel|{{Ub|=Andariel}}]], she does not share her weakness against [[Fire Damage]] ([[Fire Resist]] 75%).
 +
*0 [[chill effectiveness]] means [[Cold Damage|cold length]] does not slow her down.
 +
*She applies high physical ''and'' [[Poison Damage|poison damage]] with all her [[melee]] [[attack]]s, poison bolts and poison spray (the latter two apply no more damage per collision than {{Ub|=Andariel}}, but Multiple Shots triples number of [[missile]]s fired).
 +
*All level-adjusted stats ([[defense]], [[Attack Rating]], [[life]], [[damage]] and [[experience]]) are higher than the original due to being level 110, which also makes her harder to hit with attacks.
 +
*4-5 random [[Champion]] or [[Unique (monster)|Unique]] packs spawn in area, which can increase danger when they spawn near her and have bonuses which enhance her already high physical damage ([[Aura Enchanted]] with [[Might]] or [[Fanaticism]], or [[Cursed]]). 60% chance of [[Stygian Fury|Vile Witches]] being selected, capable of casting [[Amplify Damage]].
 +
*When killed, she will drop {{Cb|=Diablo's Horn}}, requiring one inventory space to pick up.
 +
<br>
 +
 +
===Baal's Eye===
 +
*[[Forgotten Sands]] has same appearance as [[Canyon of the Magi]] with portal from [[Harrogath]] spawning in same position as portal from [[Arcane Sanctuary (area)|Arcane Sanctuary]], to south of [[waypoint]] (which no longer functions).
 +
 +
 +
[[File:Duriel (Pandemonium Event).png|center|frame|[[Duriel (Pandemonium Event)|{{Ub|=Duriel}}]] is an [[Extra Fast]] [[Cold Enchanted]] [[boss]] and [[Evil]] who is always [[Immune to Cold]] (150%) and enchanted with level 6 [[Holy Freeze]]. {{Warn|=Neither bonuses nor immunity are displayed.}} [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/99774-the-secrets-of-uber-tristram/&do=findComment&comment=1496997] ]]
 +
 +
 +
*{{Ub|=Duriel}} spawns to north of waypoint, so there is no need to search area for him.
 +
*Aside from a standard Attack, he uses [[Jab]] and [[Smite]] (which requires a hit-check and can be [[block]]ed). Fortunately he does not use [[Charge]]. [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/120405-charging-monsters/&do=findComment&comment=1492724]
 +
*He has 100% [[drain effectiveness]].
 +
*All level-adjusted stats ([[defense]], [[Attack Rating]], [[life]], [[damage]] and [[experience]]) are higher than the original due to being level 110, which also makes him harder to hit with [[attack]]s.
 +
*When killed, he will drop {{Cb|=Baal's Eye}}, requiring one inventory space to pick up.
 +
<br>
 +
 +
===Mephisto's Brain===
 +
*[[Furnace of Pain]] has same appearance as [[Abaddon]], [[Pit of Acheron]] and [[Infernal Pit]] in [[Act 5]], which are like areas of [[River of Flame]] in [[Act 4]].
 +
 +
 +
[[File:Izual (Pandemonium Event).png|center|frame|[[Izual (Pandemonium Event)|{{Ub|=Izual}}]] is an [[Extra Fast]] [[Cold Enchanted]] [[boss]] who is always [[Immune to Cold]] (185%), casts level 27 [[Chilling Armor]] and level 15 [[Frost Nova]], and can teleport. {{Warn|=Neither bonuses nor immunity are displayed.}} [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/99774-the-secrets-of-uber-tristram/&do=findComment&comment=1496997] ]]

 +
 +
*All level-adjusted stats ([[defense]], [[Attack Rating]], [[life]], [[damage]] and [[experience]]) are higher than the original due to being level 110, which also makes him harder to hit with [[attack]]s.
 +
*When killed, he will drop {{Cb|=Mephisto's Brain}}, requiring one inventory space to pick up.
 +
<br>
 +
 +
==Tristram==
 +
*When in [[Harrogath]] of [[Act 5]] in Hell, place all three organs in [[Horadric Cube|{{Ub|=Horadric Cube}}]] and transmute to create portal back to [[Tristram (Pandemonium Event)|Tristram]]: this has the same layout as the original, but portal spawns outside northeast wall of building to north of town square. Tristram is unpopulated except for the three Prime [[Evil]]s in east corner of town square (which no longer contains the gibbet from which [[Deckard Cain]] was rescued).
 +
*Town Portals cannot be cast in Tristram.
 +
*Grimborn's [[The Poorman takes on Uber Tristram]] contains details of how to draw out each one to be engaged in single combat, rather than all three at once.
 +
*As mentioned earlier, [[melee]] [[attack]]ers specialising in physical damage are recommended, with [[Paladin (Diablo II)|Paladin]]s using [[Smite]] being particularly popular since it always hits and cannot be [[block]]ed: this is because [[Megademon|Pit Lords]] always [[immune]] to everything except physical damage can be summoned, and at least one of the three has an immunity to one of other damage types except for [[Magic Damage]].
 +
*[[Prevent Monster Heal]] does not apply and all three have 650,000-660,000 ''base'' life, resulting in 15,869 <sub>36/256</sub> - 16,113 <sub>72/256</sub> [[damage regeneration]] per second, increasing by 50% with each additional player in game at time of spawning. [[Poison Damage]], [[Open Wounds]] and skills applying damage every frame (like [[Immolation Arrow]] or [[Meteor]] pyres and [[Fire Wall]]) can stop regeneration entirely.
 +
*Melee attackers are also recommended due to ability to apply [[Crushing Blow]] and benefit from [[Life Stolen]] per hit or [[Life Tap]], or deliver massive damage to a single target which always hits and cannot be blocked (like an [[Amazon]] using [[Charged Strike]]).
 +
*Characters specialising in [[Cold Damage]] will be unable to kill all three.
 +
*All level-adjusted stats ([[defense]], [[Attack Rating]], [[life]], [[damage]] and [[experience]]) are higher than the originals due to being level 110, which also makes them harder to hit with attacks.
 +
 +
 +
[[File:Mephisto (Pandemonium Event).png|center|frame|[[Mephisto (Pandemonium Event)|{{Ub|=Mephisto}}]] is an [[Extra Fast]] [[Lightning Enchanted]] [[Magic Resistant]] [[boss]] and [[Evil]] who is [[Immune to Lightning]] (110%) and [[Immune to Poison]] (110%). Enchanted with level 20 [[Conviction]]. {{Warn|=Neither bonuses nor immunities are displayed.}} [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/99774-the-secrets-of-uber-tristram/&do=findComment&comment=1496997] ]]
 +
 +
 +
*Level 20 Conviction applies [[Fire Resist]], [[Lightning Resist]] and [[Cold Resist]] -125% (and -90[[% Defense]]), a significant penalty which can be countered by applying excess [[resistance]]:
 +
**[[Paladin (Diablo II)|Paladin]] supplying [[Salvation]] can significantly reduce excess required for all allies.
 +
**[[Treachery|{{Ub|=Treachery}}]] body armor's 5% [[Chance to Cast]] Level 15 [[Fade]] [[When Struck]] applies Resist +60% (and [[Damage Resist|Damage Reduced]] by 15%) for 288 seconds (4 minutes 48 seconds). Safest way to cast it is to equip armor and stand in fire: there are fires in or around ruins in north corner of Tristram, outside Harrogath's main gate and to either side of Hadriel above [[River of Flame]] [[waypoint]] in [[Act 4]]. Once Fade has been cast, player can remove and replace armor.
 +
*Paladin applying level >20 Conviction ''before'' him is unaffected by {{Ub|=Mephisto}}'s aura (although any allies remain vulnerable).
 +
*Has same skills as the original [[Mephisto|{{Ub|=Mephisto}}]], although Prime Bolt is significantly higher at level 27, releasing 29 bolts applying 1-482 [[Lightning Damage]] each. Can also summon the following:
 +
**[[Skeleton|Returned]], Immune to Lightning (100%) and Immune to Poison (110%)
 +
**[[Skeleton Archer|Horror Archer]], always Immune to Poison (140%)
 +
**[[Skeleton Mage|Burning Dead Mage]], [[Immune to Fire]] (130%) and Immune to Poison (110%), firing fire bolts
 +
**[[Skeleton Mage|Horror Mage]], Immune to Lightning (130%) and Immune to Poison (110%), firing lightning bolts
 +
**[[Skeleton Mage|Bone Mage]], always [[Immune to Cold]] (160%) and Immune to Poison (110%) , firing ice bolts
 +
**[[Skeleton Mage|Horror Mage]], firing poison bolts
 +
*Has 0% [[drain effectiveness]]: casting Life Tap is recommended unless well-equipped.
 +
*Characters specialising in Lightning Damage or Poison Damage will be unable to remove immunity unless playing with a [[Necromancer]] casting level >9 [[Lower Resist]] or a Paladin supplying level >19 Conviction: the former breaks both immunities while the latter can break lightning immunity. Once immunity has been broken, remaining resistance can be further reduced by -% [[Enemy Resistance]].
 +
 +
 +
[[File:Diablo (Pandemonium Event).png|center|frame|[[Diablo (Pandemonium Event)|{{Ub|=Diablo}}]] is an Extra Fast Magic Resistant boss and Evil who is Immune to Fire (110%) and Immune to Cold (115%). {{Warn|=Neither bonuses nor immunities are displayed.}} [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/99774-the-secrets-of-uber-tristram/&do=findComment&comment=1496997] ]]
 +
 +
 +
*Like [[World Event]] [[Diablo (World Event)|{{Ub|=Diablo}}]], has faster [[movement speed]] than the original (further augmented by being Extra Fast) and uses all the same skills, although some are actually slightly weaker. However, he has also gained Diablogeddon, which is similar to [[Druid (Diablo II)|Druid]]'s [[Armageddon]] skill.
 +
*While both immunities can be removed by an [[Infinity|{{Ub|=Infinity}}]] polearm's Level 12 Conviction [[Aura When Equipped]] and further reduced by -% Enemy Resistance, since the polearm is typically equipped by a [[Desert Mercenary]] the challenge becomes keeping him alive. Additionally, {{Ub|=Diablo}} can summon Pit Lords always immune to everything except physical damage.

Andariel, Maiden of Anguish and Lesser Evil, is lurking within the depths of the Act 1 Catacombs. She is the leader of the [[Corrupt Rogue]]s. She has mastered the vile arts of poisoning, and heroes challenging her should keep in mind that she is particularly vulnerable to fire.

Left behind by Baal as a surprise for unwary adventurers, Duriel, Lord of Pain and lesser evil, is guarding the ancient tombs of Tal Rasha. Charging with demonic speed, he is a formidable foe especially to heroes lacking vitality and defenses. To make matters worse, he also employs a freezing aura to chill mercenaries unfortunate enough to face him to the bone. Duriel is often fought up close or against a wall, so he can't make repeated charges.

A new Mystery has been revealed!

Players of Hell Difficulty Realm games are hereby warned once again, that a series of new and challenging tests await you! The answer lies within Diablo's Bosses, which span across the world from the Den of Evil to the Throne of Destruction...

- Patch.txt for 1.11


A new challenge introduced in patch 1.11, this is not available in Single Player or Classic.


Key collecting

First stage involves killing particular monsters in Hell for keys dropped and then use them to create portals in Harrogath in Act 5. All should be familiar to players since they already need to be killed to complete quests (although none of these quests is normally mandatory).

  • Chance is for when playing solo: Better Chance of Getting Magic Items does not improve drop chance, although playing in games with additional players does.
  • Multiple keys can be dropped per kill, maximum five (although this is unlikely).
  • Multiple keys of the same type can be present in inventory and stash: each requires 1x2 inventory space to pick up.
  • Players normally collect three of each key before organ collecting.

Organ collecting

  • When in Harrogath of Act 5 in Hell, place one of each key in Horadric Cube and transmute to generate portal to one of three areas: take care, since all look identical and only their label distinguishes them.
  • Since area is randomly selected from those which have not already been accessed in that game, it is advisable to collect three sets of keys and create portals to all three areas in the same game: be sure to move to different positions for subsequent portals, otherwise they may be difficult or impossible to use.
  • Melee attackers specialising in physical damage are recommended for the remainder of this quest, with Paladins using Smite being particularly popular since it always hits and cannot be blocked. This is because monsters including the bosses themselves have one or two immunities that cover all damage types, many of which cannot be removed. However, none of bosses is Immune to Physical, and those monsters that are can have it removed by Decrepify or Amplify Damage, or ignored by Sanctuary (since they are undead).
  • Prevent Monster Heal does not apply to any of the bosses encountered for the remainder of this quest. All have 650,000-660,000 base life, resulting in 15,869 36/256 - 16,113 72/256 damage regeneration per second, increasing by 50% with each additional player in game at time of spawning. Poison Damage, Open Wounds and skills applying damage every frame (like Immolation Arrow or Meteor pyres and Fire Wall) can stop regeneration entirely.
  • Melee attackers are also recommended due to ability to apply Crushing Blow and benefit from Life Stolen per hit or Life Tap, or deliver massive damage to a single target which always hits and cannot be blocked (like an Amazon using Charged Strike).
  • Characters specialising in Cold Damage and Poison Damage will be unable to kill bosses in all three areas.
  • Enter portals and search areas for bosses.


Diablo's Horn


Lilith is an Extra Fast Multiple Shots Poison Enchanted boss and Evil who is always Immune to Poison (185%). Neither bonuses nor immunity are displayed. [1]



Baal's Eye


Duriel is an Extra Fast Cold Enchanted boss and Evil who is always Immune to Cold (150%) and enchanted with level 6 Holy Freeze. Neither bonuses nor immunity are displayed. [2]


  • Duriel spawns to north of waypoint, so there is no need to search area for him.
  • Aside from a standard Attack, he uses Jab and Smite (which requires a hit-check and can be blocked). Fortunately he does not use Charge. [10]
  • He has 100% drain effectiveness.
  • All level-adjusted stats (defense, Attack Rating, life, damage and experience) are higher than the original due to being level 110, which also makes him harder to hit with attacks.
  • When killed, he will drop Baal's Eye, requiring one inventory space to pick up.


Mephisto's Brain


Izual is an Extra Fast Cold Enchanted boss who is always Immune to Cold (185%), casts level 27 Chilling Armor and level 15 Frost Nova, and can teleport. Neither bonuses nor immunity are displayed. [3]


  • All level-adjusted stats (defense, Attack Rating, life, damage and experience) are higher than the original due to being level 110, which also makes him harder to hit with attacks.
  • When killed, he will drop Mephisto's Brain, requiring one inventory space to pick up.


Tristram

  • When in Harrogath of Act 5 in Hell, place all three organs in Horadric Cube and transmute to create portal back to Tristram: this has the same layout as the original, but portal spawns outside northeast wall of building to north of town square. Tristram is unpopulated except for the three Prime Evils in east corner of town square (which no longer contains the gibbet from which Deckard Cain was rescued).
  • Town Portals cannot be cast in Tristram.
  • Grimborn's The Poorman takes on Uber Tristram contains details of how to draw out each one to be engaged in single combat, rather than all three at once.
  • As mentioned earlier, melee attackers specialising in physical damage are recommended, with Paladins using Smite being particularly popular since it always hits and cannot be blocked: this is because Pit Lords always immune to everything except physical damage can be summoned, and at least one of the three has an immunity to one of other damage types except for Magic Damage.
  • Prevent Monster Heal does not apply and all three have 650,000-660,000 base life, resulting in 15,869 36/256 - 16,113 72/256 damage regeneration per second, increasing by 50% with each additional player in game at time of spawning. Poison Damage, Open Wounds and skills applying damage every frame (like Immolation Arrow or Meteor pyres and Fire Wall) can stop regeneration entirely.
  • Melee attackers are also recommended due to ability to apply Crushing Blow and benefit from Life Stolen per hit or Life Tap, or deliver massive damage to a single target which always hits and cannot be blocked (like an Amazon using Charged Strike).
  • Characters specialising in Cold Damage will be unable to kill all three.
  • All level-adjusted stats (defense, Attack Rating, life, damage and experience) are higher than the originals due to being level 110, which also makes them harder to hit with attacks.


Mephisto is an Extra Fast Lightning Enchanted Magic Resistant boss and Evil who is Immune to Lightning (110%) and Immune to Poison (110%). Enchanted with level 20 Conviction. Neither bonuses nor immunities are displayed. [4]


  • Level 20 Conviction applies Fire Resist, Lightning Resist and Cold Resist -125% (and -90% Defense), a significant penalty which can be countered by applying excess resistance:
    • Paladin supplying Salvation can significantly reduce excess required for all allies.
    • Treachery body armor's 5% Chance to Cast Level 15 Fade When Struck applies Resist +60% (and Damage Reduced by 15%) for 288 seconds (4 minutes 48 seconds). Safest way to cast it is to equip armor and stand in fire: there are fires in or around ruins in north corner of Tristram, outside Harrogath's main gate and to either side of Hadriel above River of Flame waypoint in Act 4. Once Fade has been cast, player can remove and replace armor.
  • Paladin applying level >20 Conviction before him is unaffected by Mephisto's aura (although any allies remain vulnerable).
  • Has same skills as the original Mephisto, although Prime Bolt is significantly higher at level 27, releasing 29 bolts applying 1-482 Lightning Damage each. Can also summon the following:
  • Has 0% drain effectiveness: casting Life Tap is recommended unless well-equipped.
  • Characters specialising in Lightning Damage or Poison Damage will be unable to remove immunity unless playing with a Necromancer casting level >9 Lower Resist or a Paladin supplying level >19 Conviction: the former breaks both immunities while the latter can break lightning immunity. Once immunity has been broken, remaining resistance can be further reduced by -% Enemy Resistance.


Diablo is an Extra Fast Magic Resistant boss and Evil who is Immune to Fire (110%) and Immune to Cold (115%). Neither bonuses nor immunities are displayed. [5]


  • Like World Event Diablo, has faster movement speed than the original (further augmented by being Extra Fast) and uses all the same skills, although some are actually slightly weaker. However, he has also gained Diablogeddon, which is similar to Druid's Armageddon skill.
  • While both immunities can be removed by an Infinity polearm's Level 12 Conviction Aura When Equipped and further reduced by -% Enemy Resistance, since the polearm is typically equipped by a Desert Mercenary the challenge becomes keeping him alive. Additionally, Diablo can summon Pit Lords always immune to everything except physical damage.


Baal is an Extra Fast Cold Enchanted Magic Resistant boss and Evil who is Immune to Fire (115%) and always Immune to Cold (185%). He casts level 37 Chilling Armor. Neither bonuses nor immunities are displayed. [6]


  • Has same skills as the original Baal, with the addition of Chilling Armor. Can also summon the following:
  • While fire immunity can be removed by an Infinity polearm's Level 12 Conviction Aura When Equipped and further reduced by -% Enemy Resistance, since the polearm is typically equipped by a Desert Mercenary the challenge becomes keeping him alive.


Reward

  • One Large Charm and as many Standard of Heroes as there are players in the game drop from last Evil killed in Tristram. Pandemonium Event can be completed more than once, but character cannot pick up charm if one is already present in inventory or stash.
  • Charm cannot be transferred from one character to another by selling to vendor: once sold, it does not appear in vendor inventory and is lost forever.
  • Standard of Heroes currently serves no purpose other than a memento, which requires 1x1 inventory space to pick up. Multiple standards can be present in inventory or stash.
