Other NPC's

Deckard Cain

He identifies items for you.

Geglash

Jerhyn

The ruler of Lut Gholein. He will provide you with a quest and provides a lot of back story to this act.

Kaelan

One of the guards that blocks the entrance to the Palace until you have the appropriate quest.

Meshif

He will take you to Act 3 when you finish this act.

Warriv

He can take you back to Act 1, but it is easier to use the way points.

Questing

Lut Gholein is the hub of this Act, with five different ways of leaving town - through the trap door by Greiz into the Sewers, through the door in the docks into the Sewers, through the archway into the desert, down the stairs into the Palace and through the way point.

Consider postponing the first quest and going into the desert to get the Horadric Cube in the Halls of the Dead before going into the Sewers. Usually, your stash is bursting with items to be cubed by the time you find the cube.

Sewers

A series of brick-lined interconnecting rooms and hallways. This area has 3 levels with Radament's lair in the bottom level.

Notes on Denizens:
Sand Raiders have elemental attacks, some fire, others cold, that work like the Sorceress' Enchant skill. Once they are activated by a successful hit, all the hits for a certain amount of time gain the elemental damage boost.
