Biography

Na-Krul was banished to the Void by Diablo. However, during the Darkening of Tristram, he was freed by a Dark Mage. The mage was able to hinder the demon through arcane magic and encase it within walls, but feared that the demon would be too powerful to defeat unless the grimoires he left behind were used. The mage later perished.

Na-Krul intended to rule over the Burning Hells, and harbored ill will towards humanity as well. However, his plans were thwarted by a hero who descended into the Demon Crypts and defeated him.

In-game

The lever and tomes

Na-Krul is the boss of Diablo: Hellfire. He is similar to Diablo in strength, but the fight is slightly easier as he lacks the hordes of enemies that accompany Diablo in his correspondent boss fight. He also lacks any magical attacks, but moves and attacks quickly. Prior to the fight, the player can weaken Na-Krul beforehand by reading three spellbooks in front of his room. Releasing Na-Krul through this method cuts his Life in half, and reduces his armor rating by nearly as much. The correct order is as follows:

1. In Spiritu Sanctum.
2. Praedictum Otium.
3. Efficio Obitus Ut Inimicus.

Alternatively, a player can free Na-Krul simply by using a lever.
