Duriel

Duriel is one of the four Lesser Evils and the act boss of the second act of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. Not much is known about Duriel, except that he is known as the Prince of Pain.

When the adventurer arrives in Tal Rasha's chamber, Duriel yells "Looking for Baal?" Duriel is located in Tal Rasha's Chamber, which can be accessed after using the Horadric Staff on the orifice found in the real Tal Rasha's Tomb. Upon entering the Chamber, players immediately encounter Duriel.

Strategy and Other Additional Information
Duriel is perhaps the toughest boss in Diablo 2, all things considered.

Duriel is extremely fast despite his size, and is exceedingly strong as well. He has an aura around him that periodically freezes the player and any mercenaries, slowing movement speed. The combination of his freezing aura in addition to his speed and strength make Duriel a difficult boss to conquer. It should be noted that Duriel's freezing aura is a demonic aura: meaning Cold Resistance and Thawing Potions won't offer any protection.

Duriel can be considered a very hard boss due to the fact that there is no exit in his room. As soon as players enter his chamber they are confronted by Duriel without having the option of moving out again. As said before, Duriel's speed and freezing aura make it hard to outrun him, and his room is small in comparison to the other End Boss's chambers.

It's wise to bring as many minions as possible and a Mercenary in order to buy you some time. Though it usually only takes a few swipes (sometimes just one) for Duriel to kill any minion or Mercenary, it should at least give you enough time to open a Town Portal. Using Cold attacks against Duriel will slow him down significantly. If possible attack from range, though Barbarians, Paladins and other melee classes will probably have to face Duriel in melee combat. However Duriel also has a charge attack he uses against players out of melee range. Duriel has a Smite attack that stuns players and knocks them back, which can be quite annoying to deal with as he will sometimes chain the knock backs together until you hit a wall and cant be knocked back any further. If he does, and if you somehow manage to survive the onslaught (and are a melee character), it would be wise to stick close to the wall while fighting him.

Most classes will fight Duriel the way they would find any other monster. Necromancer and Sorceresses however might have to take extra caution as at this stage of the game your stats will be low in the areas required for heavy equipment.

After Duriel has been slain, the chamber will be violently shaken and explosions occur on all sides, illuminating the chamber. A wall collapses and players can move on to explore Tal Rasha's chamber.
