Larzuk is the Blacksmith in Harrogath. He survived the plague that scourged Harrogath before Baal's attack, because he was one of the few men in all of Sanctuary who washed his hands before eating.
He was the only Barbarian who did not directly fight the legions of Baal, during the Mount Arreat siege. He was anxious to enter battle, but deciding against it because of his importance. During the entire siege he was inside the city, forging new weapons for the Barbarian warriors of the town. Most of his friends died in the siege, he being one of the few who survived the attack.
Qual-Kehk gossips about Larzuk, saying that he wanted to fill large pipes exploding powders and steel balls. - An allusion to cannons, one of Larzuk's many futuristic ideas.
Bashiok stated that the explosion Mt. Arreat killed him. [1]

[edit] Dialog (Diablo II)
[edit] Introduction (General)
- "I am Larzuk, the armorer. My ancestors were some of the finest craftsmen in Harrogath.
Regretfully, my supplies run lower with every passing day, yet the demons beyond the walls have not weakened.
I fear the time is near when I must put down my hammer and take up a sword instead."
[edit] Introduction (Amazon)
- "So you're an amazon. I've heard rumors about your kind.
Your unusual weapons could prove a challenge to my skills, but I'm prepared to meet them.
I am Larzuk, the armorer. My ancestors were some of the finest craftsmen in Harrogath.

I fear the time is near when I must put down my hammer and take up a sword instead."
[edit] Gossip
- "Just so you know... The gold you pay me doesn't line my pockets.
Much of it goes to buy the raw metal I need to melt down for weapons and armor.
The rest - well all I can spare - goes to Malah and Qual-Kehk for other supplies."
- "Nihlathak's despair is infectious - and his behavior does not befit an Elder of his stature.
I think we'd be better off without him."
- "I've offered Qual-Kehk my ideas on how to break the siege, but he dismisses them.
Is it because I lack scars of battle, or does he think I'm a couple arrows short of a quiver?"
- "Demonic forces have been using our own towers and barricades against us. You know, it would be wise to cut the
demons down in the open before they can mount those fortifications."
- "This is a lively town during our victory celebrations.
We barbarians train long and hard from childhood to become warriors, and we celebrate with equal fervor.
You didn't happen to bring along any ale to trade?"
- "Has that infernal howling been keeping you awake at night, too?
Some think it's the howling of animals, but those sounds don't come from any beast I've ever known."
[edit] Siege on Harrogath
Quest Initiation:
- "If you're here to defeat Baal, you must prove it. As we speak Harrogath is under siege by Baal's demons.
catapults rain death just outside the town walls. Baal himself travels up the sacred mountain,
having left in charge here one of his most vicious generals, Shenk the Overseer, a ruthless taskmaster,
he lashes his own minions into suicidal frenzies on the battlefield. If you wish to prove yourself to us,
destroy the monster Shenk that commands the infernal catapults outside Harrogath. If you manage to do this, return to me."
After Initiate:
- "Uh.. did I mention there were catapults?"
Early Return:
- "What's the matter hero? Questioning your fortitude? I know we are."
Upon Completion:
- "You're an even greater warrior that I expected. Sorry for understimating you,
as a token of my apreciation I will craft sockets into an item of your chosing.
And from now on you'll get the best prices for all my wares."
[edit] Rescue on Mount Arreat
After Initiate:
- "I crafted the swords and armor for Qual-Kehk's men, they were like brother to me.
I can't imagine the pain they must be suffering. Save them if you can."
Early Return:
- "As a kid I used to play solture on the barricades of the mountain. There is no easy way through that mass of walls."
Upon Completion:
- "Since your arrival Cain has spoken of your deed in the southern kingdoms, defeating both Mephisto and Diablo.
At first I scoffed at his tales, but I'm finding them more believable with every passing day."
[edit] Prison of Ice
After Initate:
- "Anya is an amazing alchemist, specially for her young age.
As long as I've known her she's never let anything to stop her from persuing what she believed in.
I would doubt that Nihlathak is involved, ever since her father died, they haven't got along."
Early Return:
- "As the daughter of elder Aust. Anya is the only person, besides Nihlathak,
who has any real knowlegde of Mount Arreat's secrets. I'd hate to see our fate in the hands of Nihlathak alone."
After finding Anya:
- "Poor Anya, I should've know Nihlathak was a traitor. If you find him alive, kill him for me."
Upon Completion:
- "I never liked Nihlathak, but I never suspected that he'd betray us.
I just can't understand how an elder can do such a thing."
[edit] Betrayal of Harrogath
After Initiate:
- "Now, rescuing Anya, that's good. Talking to me while Nihlathak hands over the relic to Baal... Uh that's bad."
Early Return:
- "What's there to talk about?
...Kill Nihlathak!"
Upon Completion:
- "Hmm...What does Baal plan to do inside Mount Arreat?"
[edit] Rite of Passage
After Initiate:
- "Every night I pray to The Ancients to bring us peace, now you must fight them. Who should I pray to now warrior?"
Upon Completion:
- "You've walked on the burial grounds of our greatest ancestors. I'm not sure whether I should bow before you
or revile you for commiting sacrilege. Tread lightly when you walk with gods."
[edit] Eve of Destruction
After Initiate:
- "The Ancients have honored you, and in turn so do we. I've no remaining doubts about you now."
Early Return:
- "I may be just an armorer. But I know this, Baal plans to destroy the world
with the secrets contain in that mountain. It doesn't take a genius to know he has to be stopped!"
