[[Image:Mon-mephisto1.jpg|frame|left]]{{Monster navbox|{{Act Bosses}}||{{Monstertype}}|{{Demons}}|{{SuperUniques}}|{{AB}}}}Mephisto is a [[Demons|Demon]], a [[Superuniques|SuperUnique]], and an [[Act Bosses|Act Boss]].

[[Image:Mon-mephisto1.jpg|frame|left]]Mephisto is the act boss of [[Act Three]], and must be defeated to complete [[Quests_Act_Three#Quest_Six:_The_Guardian|The Guardian quest]] and to move on to [[Act Four]]. He is brother to [[Diablo]] and [[Baal]], is the first of the three [[Prime Evils]] a player encounters in ''Diablo II'', and appears in the game as a skeletal, floating, legless apparition. Mephisto battles at melee range, but also possesses a wide variety of powerful enchantments, mixing lightning with poison and cold damage.

 ==Lore==Mephisto was the first {{iw|Prime_Evil Prime Evil}} to be captured, and his {{iw|Soulstone Soulstone}} was put into the hands of the local priesthood, the {{iw|Zakarum Zakarum}}, for safekeeping. They kept it under a Zakarum temple in what would eventually become {{iw|Kurast Kurast}}. In the meantime, the {{iw|Horadrim Horadrim}} pursued and eventually captured all three of the Prime Evils.  Eventually, however, Mephisto managed to overcome the powers of the Soulstone that imprisoned him enough to influence and corrupt the Zakarum. The demon then had the priests work spells to shatter the Soulstone into seven shards, breaking the mystic seal and freeing the {{iw|Lord_of_Hatred Lord of Hatred}}.  ==Monster Run==Despite these advantages, Mephisto is soon became the most popular "monster run" in the game, since he is quickly reached from the [[Durance of Hate]], level 2 [[waypoint]], and since he drops very tasty items. Item running "Meph" was made more difficult in v1.10, when Durance level 2 was greatly enlarged and the layout was randomized, but dedicated item runners still make Meph the backbone of much of the mid-level ''Diablo II'' economy. [[Hell]] Mephisto can not drop the highest level items, but he's a great source of all exceptional items, and most of the low-to-mid level elites.

 ==Statistics==* The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest [[Treasure Class]]/[[Rune Group]] a normal monster of that type can drop.** Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the next higher TC.** The max TC/Rune possible depends on which level a monster spawns in, and can vary slightly from the listed values (monsters that spawn in later levels can drop higher level items). See the item [[calculators]] to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.
