The River of Flames in Act IV is more closely what you would associate with Hell - fire and brimstone.

When you step down the stairs from the City of the Damned, you reach the real Hell. This level lives up to it's name. It is essentially the deepest level of Hell, and contains the Chaos Sanctuary. It is a large ocean of magma and flame, with stone roads and occasionally large, dark stone/iron structures. It can be difficult to navigate due to the lava rivers and haphazard terrain.
This area contains the Chaos Sanctuary, the Hellforge, and a waypoint. Hadriel can be found directly northeast of the waypoint, guarding the Chaos Sanctuary. If you have not completed The Hellforge quest, Hadriel will tell you to turn back, and find the Hellforge. Hephasto the Armorer can be found beside the Hellforge and drops the Hellforge Hammer. After destroying Mephisto's Soulstone, Hadriel will let you pass. Behind Hadriel is a short road that leads to a small maze, and the Chaos Sanctuary. There are one or two unique monsters that can spawn randomly in this area.
Level Information
- Monster levels are usually always equal to the area level with exception to uniques (mlvl +3) and champions (mlvl +2).
