The Den of Evil is a cave located in the Blood Moor in Diablo II. It is the optional side-area in the Blood Moor which is involved in the first quest of the game.

[edit] Location

The Den of Evil is the only side area in the Blood Moor. It appears as a cave decorated on the outside by certain symbols most notably, the Fallen banner indicating the nature of its inhabitants.

Though the Den of Evil is a side area cave, it contains no golden chest in it. This is probably because players are most probably starting the game at Level 1 when they start this quest. Hence, giving them the oppurtunity to get magic items at such low levels would lead to game imbalance.

[edit] Inhabitants

The Den of Evil is inhabited by many groups of Fallen led by Fallen Shaman. It also contains some Zombies and Gargantuan Beasts.

But the most notable member of the cave is probably the first super unique monster met by the player, the Spectral Hitting Zombie, Corpsefire. He is accompanied by his minions who are also tougher than regular members of the group.

[edit] Quest

In the Den of Evil quest of Act I, Akara asks you to kill all the monsters inside the Den, which she believes are massing for an attack against the Rogue Encampment.

When you complete the quest Akara awards you with an extra Skill Point.
