The portal is visible and situated in the middle of a lake of blood – it cannot be reached by teleports or barbarian leap attacks so the only way to reach it is to best Mephisto. Mephisto is a cold-based monster, so a high cold resistance is desirable when you come to fight him.

Battle with Mephisto.

This is the last dungeon in Act III and is reached by smashing the Compelling Orb in Travincal. On the third level of the Durance of Hate you will find Mephisto.


Of course this used to be the old Guardian Tower, watching over Mephisto (hence the name of the quest is "The Guardian").


Don't miss the Waypoint on Level 2 when descending the Durance.


Mephisto is found on the third level of the Durance of Hate and you need to kill him in order to access the Hell Gate, the portal to Act IV and Diablo himself. There is no prerequisite to the quest; just fight your way to Mephisto and the portal.


The portal is visible and situated in the middle of a lake of blood – it cannot be reached by teleports or barbarian leap attacks so the only way to reach it is to best Mephisto. Mephisto is a cold-based monster, so a high cold resistance is desirable when you come to fight him.
