:''That must be what he has planned! The survivors of his rescue party say that Lazarus was last seen running into the deepest bowels of the dungeon. You must hurry and save the prince from the sacrificial blade of this demented fiend."
[[Image:D1-sacrificial-altar.gif|frame]]After delivering the Staff of Lazarus to Cain, a red portal will appear on level 15, right beside the large pentagram on the ground (located somewhere at random on the level). Find the portal and walk through it to enter Lazarus' level, a special sub-dungeon that's stocked by [[D1 MonstersSuccubus|Hell Spawn]] and [[D1 MonstersMage|Advocates]]. You must move through the level, using two teleporter pads to open walls, before a final teleport square becomes active, and takes you into the center portion of the level. When you appear there [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbNr6PEodN0 a special short cinematic] plays, after which the game returns to normal view, and you see Lazarus beside a sacrificial altar, with two SuperUnique witches. They can not be attacked yet, but you are able to move around freely while Lazarus gives a speech about the futility of your efforts. Once he's done talking he becomes active and vulnerable, but at the same time a wall vanishes on the left side of the dungeon, spilling forth another dozen Hell Spawn and an Advocate. Most players retreat from the large room and kill off the witches in the side corridors, before heading back to deal with Lazarus and the other Advocate.
When you've killed Lazarus you must return to town, get one final speech from Cain, and then head back down again. The stairway will now have appeared in the center of the pentagram, and your destiny with Diablo awaits.
The secret room full of witches on single player Lazarus' level can be lured out a few at a time, but any character with high level Chain Lightning and enough magic resistance to take a bit of damage should just bring forth all the witches at once. Get them in one of the side corridors so your lightning is concentrated, and cook all of them at once with just a few properly aimed Chain Lightnings.
