Navigation


Dark Elder is an Extra Fast Magic Resistant Super Unique Plague Bearer that may be encountered while searching Lost City. Accompanied by four minions in Normal, five in Nightmare and six in Hell, all are Immune to Magic (100%) in Hell.
Entrance to Claw Viper Temple Level 1.



Objective

Claw Viper Temple Level 2 always has same layout.


  • Tainted Sun Altar is in pit in center of area, accessed via stairs to south.


Fangskin is a Lightning Enchanted Extra Fast Super Unique Salamander who spawns to south of Tainted Sun Altar, guarding it. Accompanied by four minions in Normal, five in Nightmare and six in Hell, all are Immune to Cold (110%) in Hell.


  • Fangskin and minions may be avoided by turning right from entrance and going to north around Altar: they cannot follow down stairs to Altar due to their size, so once characters have descended they are safe from them. Even if they are not avoided, it is safer to turn right and start clearing area to allow room to move and retreat.
  • Click on Altar to destroy it.


Reward


I've been speaking with Lord Jerhyn, and I sense that he is becoming more and more agitated by something. You should try to talk to him again.

If he still won't take you into his confidence, seek to prove yourself a bit more. I gather that his respect for you is growing.
