- Objective
- 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.
- Quest Reward
- 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
- Multiplayer Notes
- 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.
- Classic Notes
- In Classic Diablo II, runes cannot be dropped. The quest reward for the Hellforge quest is only the gems.
