In the Diablo II PC game, in order to defeat the demon-lord, Diablo; your character must overcome a series of quests. In the original Diablo II game, there were 21 quests in all, but the Lords Of Destruction expansion pack added a further 6 quests to the game.

Diablo II Quests Overview

Diablo II is a hugely popular and enjoyable hack-and-slash RPG from Blizzard; the same people behind MMORG, World Of Warcraft. In the game Diablo II, your character must travel the lands in search of the demon lord Diablo and kill him. En route, however, your character will be tested with a range of quests.

The original Diablo II PC game featured 21 quests in all, spread across four Acts. The expansion pack – Lords Of Destruction – added a further Act and 6 additional quests to the game.

If you’re a newcomer to Diablo II, or revisiting the game in anticipation of the upcoming Diablo III, or a current player and need a refresher of the quests in the game then this brief guide will detail the various quests your character will perform as they travel throughout the Diablo II world.

Not all of the quests in Diablo II require to be completed in order for the character to progress through the game. However, the rewards for doing so are worthwhile and can yield a decent return for the time spent doing them.

Act One Quests in Diablo II

Act One in Diablo II features a total of six quests to perform. You should expect by the end of Act One for your character to be around 14th level. Your character will begin Act One in the Rogue Encampment and this area will also act as your base throughout the first chapter of the game. The six quests are detailed below:

Quest One: The Den of Evil

This quest is given by Akara and requires your character to journey to the Den of Evil and kill the inhabitants. The Den of Evil is a cave, which is located in the Bloodmoor not far from the Rogue Encampment. This quest is not a compulsory quest and can be passed over.

It is worthwhile to explore and kill all the monstersin the surrounding area, prior to entering the Den, as this will raise your character’s level to level two; perhaps even level three, depending on the enemies you encounter. This in turn will make clearing the Den of Evil that little bit easier. The quest itself is pretty straightforward, but be prepared for swarming by your enemies.

Once you have completed the quest, return and talk to Akara. She will reward you with one skill point to be placed in your skill tree. For the next quest, you need to talk to Kashya, the Rogue mistress.
