Author Avatar: The uberboss Archbishop Lazarus is not the actual Lazarus character in the first Diablo, but is a reference to Brother Laz, the creator of the mod.Armor-Piercing Attack: Purify is an oskill that deals damage independently of everything, including resistances: it is the only way to damage and kill certain high-level endgame bosses.

When doing the Binding of Baal and Assault on Mount Arreat uberquests, you're morphed into Baal and Diablo (respectively), but the change is mostly cosmetic, you still have your items, and you're still using your own skills instead of Baal's and Diablo's.

And Now for Someone Completely Different: Downplayed.Reading it is almost mandatory to understand the game. All There in the Manual: With the manual being the official documentation.Adaptation Name Change: The final levels of the Tower Cellar and Durance of Hate are now called Bloodthrone and Seat of Hatred, instead of being simply referred to with a number.Action Bomb: The Necromancer's Night Hawk minions attack by getting close to enemies and blowing themselves up.Entering Toraja requires you to have obtained the Crystalline Flame Medallion from Judgement Day first, which grants you access to Edyrem minions, which are able to break the invulnerability shield of the Symbol of Time in the Torajan Cemetery, whose destruction will open a portal to Toraja.Likewise, killing Lucion in the Triune requires you to have obtained the Dire Charm skill from the previous boss Durram first. It is impossible to defeat Valthek in the Yshari Sanctum until you've already assembled the special sets from the five previous bosses in the complex.

In the Void, you need the Scream of Trag'Oul skill, obtained by transmuting the scrolls dropped by the seven sub-bosses into the Sigil of the 7 Deadly Sins, in order to reach the final boss.

You cannot kill Assur, the MCS, Atanna Khan, Archbishop Lazarus, the Spirit of Giyua and Uldyssian (and complete these respective uberquests in the process) until you obtain the Purify skill.

One of the five Robot Bosses in Fauztinville, the five Seals in the Black Road and all bosses in the Corrupted Abbey require a teleport skill to access, which is thankfully easy to obtain with the low-level runeword Pax Mystica.
