D1 Quest Bosses

This page lists all of the quest bosses found in Diablo and Hellfire. These are SuperUniques that must be killed to complete quests, with a few others who are related to the quest but are not essential to eliminate.

Not all quests have a quest boss; while all quests require you to kill various monsters to complete them, there are often just a mob of regular monsters in the way, rather than a particular SuperUnique who must be dealt with.

Diablo Quest BossesEdit

Quest bosses found in Diablo and (unchanged) in Hellfire.

The Skeleton KingEdit

The reanimated corpse of King Leoric must be defeated to complete his quest and free his followers from his malign influence. He is huge and dangerous, capable of raising skeletons to aid him in the battle. This quest is present in every multiplayer game, with the Skeleton King found somewhere on level 3.

Gharbad the WeakEdit

SnotspillEdit

Snotspill is a Dark One spear-wielder encountered within a special area of level four, but only in single player games. Snotspill orders the player to retrieve the "magic banner" that is guarded by the "big uglies," and says you must return it to him before he will remove a barrier blocking access to the stairs down to level 5. The "magic banner" turns out to be Ogden's stolen inn sign, which the player can return to Ogden for a reward, or give to Snotspill instead. Regardless of whether or not you give Snotspill the banner, he will treacherously attack you after a second conversation, when a wall drops to reveal dozens more Fallen Ones waiting in ambush.

LachdananEdit

Na-KrulEdit

Na-Krul

The final boss in Hellfire, Na-Krul is a massive, tentacle-armed demon who is imprisoned within a magical box.

Opening his box by the lever releases him with much higher stats than if he's released by throwing the three switches in the correct order.
