::Smash Mephisto's Soulstone with the Hellforge Hammer, which is dropped by Hephasto the Armorer. Hephasto is not to be looked down upon, as he spawns with a aura and are surrounded by demons. He has a high level and is extremely dangerous in hell. He is also one of the few monsters that can also drop any rune in the game.

:<b>Quest Reward</b>
+
{{Ub|=Although I picked it up before entering the Infernal Gate, I believe you should carry out this crucial mission.}}
::Smashing the Soulstone produces one perfect, two flawless, and one normal-quality gems, in addition to one rune. The rune that drops has an equal chance of being one of eleven different runes, depending on the difficulty level of the game.  The runes that can drop from the Hellforge in each difficulty level are:
 
:::Normal: El-Amn
 
:::Nightmare: Sol-Um
 
:::Hell: Hel-Gul
 
  
:<b>Multiplayer Notes</b>
+
(only displayed if character did not pick it up)
::This quest will be completed for all partied players in Act IV when the Soulstone is smashed.  For each additional party member, the Hellforge quest will drop one additional perfect gem.
 
  
::Because the marginal reward for each additional party member is so low compared to completing the quest alone, the Hellforge quest is typically completed outside of a party. It is considered good etiquette to leave the party before completing this quest.
+
{{Ub|=Take the Stone to the Hellforge. Place it upon the forge and strike it soundly with the Hammer.}}
  
:<b>Classic Notes</b>
+
{{Ub|=Only by doing this can you prevent Mephisto from manifesting in this world ever again.}}
::In Classic Diablo II, runes cannot be dropped. The quest reward for the Hellforge quest is only the gems.

*[[The Guardian#Reward|{{Ub|=Mephisto's Soulstone}}]] can be placed upon Hellforge by clicking on it if player picked it up after killing [[Mephisto|{{Ub|=Mephisto}}]] at end of Act 3, or if player has talked to [[Deckard Cain]] and received it from him (may have dropped on floor if there was insufficient inventory space). However, it can only be destroyed using the {{Ub|=Hell Forge Hammer}}, which is carried by {{Ub|=Hephasto the Armorer}} and dropped upon his death.

*He has no inherent immunity even in Hell, and can never become [[Immune to Magic]] or [[Immune to Poison]] (he has [[Poison Resist]] -50% in Normal and Nightmare). Can become [[Immune to Physical]] (100%) when [[Stone Skin]] in Hell, and also [[Immune to Fire]], [[Immune to Lightning]] or [[Immune to Cold]] with other [[Unique (monster)|Unique]] bonuses.

*[[Knockback]] applies, and can be used to pin him against an obstacle to incapacitate him.

*Runes have equal chance of dropping, so each has 1/11 chance.

*Quest is completed for all allied players present in Act 4 when {{Ub|=Mephisto's Soulstone}} is destroyed: one Perfect gem is dropped for each allied player. Hellforge quest is normally completed by players that are '''not''' allied (it is good etiquette to leave party before completing quest), so that each will also receive other gems (and Rune in Expansion games) when they destroy their own.

*Although unnecessary, returning to talk to [[Deckard Cain]] prompts the following:

{{Ub|=Congratulations, hero!}}

{{Ub|=Surely, even Diablo, himself, sensed the fury unleashed when you smashed his Brother's Soulstone.}}
