{{Act Bosses}}[[Image:Mon-diablo.jpg|frame]]Diablo is the final boss of Act Foura [[Demons|Demon]], and must be killed to finish the a [[Quests_Act_Four#Quest_Three:_Terror.27s_EndSuperuniques|Terror's EndSuperUnique]] quest; this is the end of the game in Diablo II, and is required to advance to an [[Act Bosses|Act Five in the Diablo II Expansion. Diablo appears after all five "seals" and all three seal bosses have been killed in the Chaos SanctuaryBoss]].

 Diablo is the act boss of act four, and must defeated to complete the [[Quests_Act_Four#Quest_Three:_Terror.27s_End|Terror's End quest]]. This quest ends the game in ''Diablo II'', and enables access to Act Five in ''Diablo II: Lord of Destruction''. Diablo is found in the Chaos Sanctuary. He appears in the center of the large pentagram after the five seals have been opened and the three seal bosses have been killed or moved out of the Chaos Sanctuary. Diablo is the Lord of Terror, and the youngest of the three prime evil brothers. The pursuit of him and long battle to destroy his soul stone figures prominently in the game story and the lore in the game manuals for ''Diablo'' and ''Diablo II''. Like many of the monsters in Diablo II, Diablo was a lot harder in earlier versions of the game. Prior to v1.08, his Firestorm (ground fire) attack could insta-kill virtually any character who took it point blank, since there were so many overlapping pixels of flame at melee range. Maximum fire resistance was essential, along with fire absorption, and digging in for a long toe -to -toe slug fest slugfest with Diablo was almost sure suicide. Hit and run tactics had to be employed, in those days.

Various forms of Diablo abound in D2X. You may also encounter [[Uber Diablo]], or [[Pandemonium Diablo]], on the [[Special Quests]] added in in v1.10 and v1.11. Diablo deals 7x damage to player minions, making it hard to keep mercs or summons alive. Stats are displayed by difficult level: '''Normal / Nightmare / Hell''s special attacks:'. =Statistics= {| width="100%"!
