[[Image:Mon-mephisto1.jpg|frame|left]]Mephisto is the act boss of [[Act Three]], and must be defeated to complete [[Quests_Act_Three#Quest_Six:_The_Guardian|The Guardian quest]] and to move on to [[Act Four]]. He is brother to [[Diablo]] and [[Baal]], is the first of the three [[Prime Evils]] a player encounters in ''Diablo II'', and appears in the game as a skeletal, floating, legless apparition. Mephisto battles at melee range, but also possesses a wide variety of powerful enchantments, mixing lightning with poison and cold damage.
==Lore==
Mephisto was the first {{iw|Prime_Evil Prime Evil}} to be captured, and his {{iw|Soulstone Soulstone}}was put into the hands of the local priesthood, the Zakarum, for safekeeping. They kept it under a Zakarum temple in what would eventually become Kurast. In the meantime, the Horadrim pursued and eventually captured all three of the Prime Evils.
Eventually, however, Mephisto managed to overcome the powers of the Soulstone that imprisoned him enough to influence and corrupt the Zakarum. The demon then had the priests work spells to shatter the Soulstone into seven shards, breaking the mystic seal and freeing the Lord of Hatred.
