[[Image:Mon-hephasto.jpg|frame|left]]Hephasto the Armorer is found near the Hellforge, in the [[River of Flame]] in Act Four. Hephasto is a quest monster; you must kill him to obtain the Hellforge Hammer that is required to smash Mephisto's Soulstone as part of the [[Quests_Act_Four#Quest_Two:_The_Hellforge|Hellforge quest]].
Hephasto isn't too fierce these days, but prior to v1.07 he was terrifying thanks to big damage, rapid foot speed, and his Cursed and Extra Strong properties. His area of the River of Flame was avoided by almost all hardcore characters, and only Paladins with Smite felt confident taking Hephasto on, in those days of 800+ damage with a single hit. In v1.07 Hephasto was neutered, losing much of his damage and both of the mods that made him so dangerous. He shares graphics with [[The Smith]], and both are clearly modeled modelled in an homage to The [[Butcher]], an infamous monster from ''Diablo''.
