Acts are a gameplay feature of Diablo II, III, and IV.
Diablo II[]
There are four Acts in Diablo II, with an extra Act in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. The player begins in Act I and moves through each Act in order as each one is completed (always ending in fighting a Great Evil). This is because the hero is tracking down Diablo, who visits each of these places before the player does. Traveling from the Rogue Encampment to the Kurast Docks is traveling across Sanctuary from West to East. The Pandemonium Fortress is located in the Burning Hells, while Harrogath (from the expansion) brings the player back to Sanctuary into the Barbarian region where Baal's army is attacking.
Act | Name of chapter | Town | Final Boss |
---|---|---|---|
Act I | The Sightless Eye | Rogue Encampment | Andariel |
Act II | The Secret of the Vizjerei | Lut Gholein | Duriel |
Act III | The Infernal Gate | Kurast Docks | Mephisto |
Act IV | The Harrowing | Pandemonium Fortress | Diablo |
Act V | Lord of Destruction | Harrogath | Baal |
Diablo III[]
The Act system returned in Diablo III.
Act | Town | Final Boss |
---|---|---|
Act I | New Tristram | The Butcher |
Act II | Hidden Camp | Belial |
Act III | Bastion's Keep Stronghold | Azmodan |
Act IV | Bastion's Keep Stronghold | Diablo |
Act V | The Survivors' Enclave | Malthael |
Diablo IV[]
At launch, Diablo IV had a prologue, six acts, and an epilogue. Unlike prior games, the first three acts can be completed in any order, and within acts themselves, objectives can be pursued in any order. After completing the first three acts, the story converges in the fourth act.[1]
