Mephisto
Mephisto was the first Prime Evil to be captured and his stone was buried in
a vault beneath the Aranoch desert. A third of the Horadrim stayed to guard this
tomb until the remaining two Brothers were captured. Though the cost was high,
all of The Three were eventually captured.
Mephisto finally managed to overcome the powers of the Soulstone that
imprisoned him enough to influence and corrupt the local priesthood, known as
the Zakarum. The Demon then had the priests work spells to shatter the Soulstone
into seven shards, breaking the mystic seal and freeing the Lord of Hatred.
Mephisto drove the six smaller shards into the left palms of six Zakarum
archbishops who were then charged with bringing him nourishment in the form of
human sacrifices while running their temple. The largest stone pierced the hand
of the Que-Hegan, the highest divine authority of the Zakarum faith. It was this
body that the Demon used as his manifestation on the mortal plane, warping the
mortal’s form into an approximation of his true visage. For years the corrupted
religious leaders of the Zakarum have kept Mephisto supplied with information
and misguided followers to carry out his plans of conquest.
Tips and Other Additional Information
Mephisto's special attacks
are: Poison Nova; Lightning; Charge Bolt; "Skull" missile
Clear out any nearby Council Members or monsters in the area. If you're
unable to kill some of the Council Members you can use this trick: open up a
Town Portal in the middle room with Mephisto or the left room. Then lead any
Council Members you're unable to kill to the stairs that lead to Durance of Hate
Level 2. Now run back to the Waypoint in Durance of Hate Level 2 and use it to
go back to Town. From Town enter your Town Portal and you'll be back in
Mephisto's Lair. The Council Members will be back at the stairs out of the way
if you lead them away correctly and place the Town Portal far enough away from
the stairs. You'll now be able to attack Mephisto without being helped by those
council Members.
