Frightening Sanctuary

Happy Halloween Diablo fans! To celebrate the momentous annual occasion, today we have a special little article commemorating the most frightening places in Sanctuary, as per some lengthy discussion and input from all of the DiabloFans staff. Read on to see what you agree with, what scared the shit out of you, or what was the equivalent of the fluffy white bunnies in Act V.

  1. The DiabloWiki.com - Tristram Cathedral Tristram Cathedral and DiabloWiki.com - Catacombs Catacombs of DiabloWiki.com - Diablo I Diablo I
    2. This is an unprecedented favorite among many of us for its ghoulish darkness, in which lurked any number of countless horrors. Only the lid on the hellhole that is Diablo's endless labyrinth, the Tristram Cathedral was originally a construct of the DiabloWiki.com - Horadrim Horadrim, which used it to conceal Diablo's DiabloWiki.com - Soulstone Soulstone.


    A couple levels down in this horror of darkness and mystery resides DiabloWiki.com - the Butcher the Butcher and his gruesome meat locker. See our Diablo & Hellfire forum for more discussion on these areas.


  2. DiabloWiki.com - Mephisto Mephisto's DiabloWiki.com - Durance of Hate Durance of Hate from DiabloWiki.com - Diablo II Diablo II
    3. Pits of stagnant blood and gore, piles stacked high with bleached corpses, mad devices of torture, and pits of spike, metal, and darkness plagued this area from DiabloWiki.com - Act III Act III of Diablo II. Mixed in to the madness of endless horrors was the glint of the sharp knives of the DiabloWiki.com - Bone Fetish Bone Fetish, bizzare creatures of reanimated bone, and DiabloWiki.com - Vampire Vampire ghouls, their creeping, bony bodies curtained with shreds of cloth and their eyes a burning red.

    On the final level dwelt the DiabloWiki.com - Prime Evil Prime Evil DiabloWiki.com - Mephisto Mephisto, DiabloWiki.com - Lord of Hatred Lord of Hatred, and it was evident his hatred had met countless thousands from the moat of crimson that split the floor in two and the bridge of bone that DiabloWiki.com - Diablo Diablo, the DiabloWiki.com - Lord of Terror Lord of Terror, himself, transversed.


  3. Diablo's Treasure Trove, the DiabloWiki.com - Chamber of Bone Chamber of Bone, from Diablo I
    4. Deep, deep down in the suffocating darkness and amidst the nosferatu of the most devilish kind laid the Chamber of Bone, the personal vault of Diablo and a place of darkness, gloom, and death.


  4. The DiabloWiki.com - Chaos Sanctuary Chaos Sanctuary of Diablo II
    5. A twisted gateway of dark, Gothic stone inlaid with human skulls and heralded by consuming pillars of fire and an endless sea of molten lava ridden with the damned greeted adventurers bound for the last bastion of Diablo, his Chaos Sanctuary. Strewn about the broken floor lay the remains of would-be heroes. Chained to torches and pillars alike were writhing, naked, and mangled bodies of the condemned. Hosts of Diablo's private minions littered the Sanctuary, DiabloWiki.com - Oblivion Knights Oblivion Knights with demon magic at their command, terribly immense DiabloWiki.com - Venom Lords Venom Lords that spewed fire from their maws, and the ghastly floating specters, the DiabloWiki.com - Storm Casters Storm Casters, with their vile soul-seeking flames of malice.

    In the center of the fortress lay waiting the pentagram, framed by pits of fire. When all of the diabolic seals of the hellhold were activated, the atmosphere would redden with bloodlust (3D mode only), the screen would shake, and the voice of Diablo beckoned heroes to their deaths, a final chord in a hellish symphony, "Not even death can save you from me."

So, what would be on your list of horror sites in the world of Diablo?
