The Fallen Angel

Quest One: The Fallen Angel

• Quest Name: The Fallen Angel
• Triggered By: Entering the Pandemonium Fortress
• Location: Find Izual in the Plains of Despair
• Reward: Two skill points from Tyrael^*
• Quest Priority: This quest is not mandatory, but the +2 skill points is probably the best quest reward in the game.

Once you start Act Four, Tyrael will have the "!" over his head, and want to talk. He tells you that there is a tortured soul, Izual, the fallen angel, and you must find him and free him.

Izual will be found somewhere roaming around the Plains of Despair, the second area in Act Five. He is a relatively easy kill, as he has just a Cold Nova attack and a slow physical attack. The challenge is that he has an incredible amount of hit points, more than Diablo even, so takes quite a while to beat on. He's worth a good chunk of experience though, in addition to Tyrael giving you two skill points when you return to town after killing "Izzy" as he's called.

Tips: Try to get someone else in the game if you are on Battle.net to help you with him. Sorceresses are the best, since with Static they can take Izzy down most of the way a lot faster than any other attack. Use your biggest damage weapon on Izual, he's not much of a threat to deal you damage, he just has so many hit points you'll often need to go get repairs in the middle of the fight.

* Note: If you wander away from Izual's spirit, it will disappear. You can still return to Tyrael to get the quest reward.
