His melee damage is also considerable – yet another reason to bring some Damage reduction with you.

Diablo also charges at players who are out of his melee range. In later difficulty levels, however, the damage from this attack originates from a distance where melee characters will not take damage from the attack unless they choose to move out of melee range. Maximum Lightning Resistance and Damage Reduction (for players using shields: a high Block rate helps) might allow you to survive this attack, but it's wise just to run away when you see Diablo preparing to cast it. The damage done by this attack is partly Lightning based the other part is Physical Damage.

His most feared attack in normal difficulty is his Red Lightning Hose attack, which deals massive damage. Diablo also has a nasty Cold Touch ability (as can be seen in the animation above) that slows players down, which can be ignored by having an item with the 'Cannot be Frozen' ability. At the start of the boss fight, diablo will use a fire circle. Diablo awaits near the inner seal.ĭiablo has a range of powerful spells and abilities, of which, many are Fire-based, such as Flame Circle, Fire Wall and Firestorm, so having full Fire Resistance and some Fire Absorb will help greatly. After that, a violent tremor quakes through the Sanctuary, killing any monsters left in the Sanctuary, and a demonic voice can be heard saying: 'Not even Death can save you from me!'. When all seals have been opened and all bosses and minions defeated (note that if the last seal you open is a seal containing a miniboss, killing the 'leader of the pack' will also destroy his minions) the Chaos Sanctuary should suddenly start 'brightening up'. In one of the left-hand seals, the Unique boss Grand Vizier of Chaos ( Finger Mage) is hidden, in the upper seal lurks Lord De Seis ( Oblivion Knight) and on the right-hand side awaits the Infector of Souls ( Megademon). Note that three of those seals contain a Unique boss with a pack of minions those have to be defeated as well.

Diablo appears in his Chaos Sanctuary after all five seals have been opened.
