Changes: Chaos Sanctuary

Revision as of 21:42, 31 January 2010

"Proceed hero, into terror's lair. Know that Diablo's innermost sanctum is hidden by five seals. Only by opening each of these five seals, can you clear your way to the final battle." -- Hadriel

The Chaos Sanctuary, also referred to as Terror's Lair by Hadriel, is the unholy cathedral of the Lord of Terror himself. Inside the Sanctuary, Diablo rules the Burning Hells from its innermost sanctum, a special seal located in the middle of the Sanctuary. This sanctum is hidden by five additional seals however, and the sanctuary itself is filled with numerous elite hellspawned demons.

In Diablo II, players who seek to destroy Diablo must enter his Sanctuary and open all five seals in order to clear their way to the final battle.

Three of the five seals release a super unique monster with a group of boosted minions. These are:

The Infector of Souls, a unique Venom Lord
Lord De Seis, a unique Oblivion Knight
The Grand Vizier of Chaos, a unique Storm Caster

Breaking the last seal while all the super uniques are slain will kill off the rest and summon Diablo.

Patch 1.10 also granted the Chaos Sanctuary status as a level 85 drop zone on Hell, so if you are doing Diablo runs, clearing out the monsters might prove beneficial. That being said, the Sanctuary is well known for housing some tough enemies (particularly the case for melee characters due to the Iron Maiden curse).

This area is also known to hand out one-hit T.K.O.s (total knock outs) even to players with very high health values. This may be due to a glitch in the game that allows all of your hero's health to be drained to zero with one hit, thus killing the player. This is HIGHLY annoying, espicially on higher difficulty levels where you lose experience points. Bring lots of Town Portal scrolls and cast them before coming into the area again, thus saving the player a long run from the River of Flame waypoint.
