Izual can be found in the plains of despair. From the pandemonium fortress, head down the staircase into the outer steppes and locate the entrance into the plains of despair. There are no waypoint markers in the outer steppes or the plains of despair, so be sure to stock up on town portal scrolls before heading out from the pandemonium fortress. Talk to Jamella upon leaving town for your healing potion and scroll needs. The areas of Act IV are quite large, though not as expansive as the areas in Act III (such as the spider forest and great marsh). Be prepared to make several trips back to town to restore health and mana points or purchase improve weaponry or armor. Recommended Level to Complete Act IV, Quest I You should be in the mid-20s as you complete Act III and begin Act IV. It would be wise to at least have access to the level 24 skills before facing off against Izual. If you've spent time in each act improving your character and exploring optional areas, you should be approaching the high 20s as you work through the fourth act. Take the time to thoroughly explore the outer steppes and the plains of despair to gain as much experience, levels, and skills as possible before facing off against Izual. Act IV, Quest I Log Entry #1: Look for Izual in the plains of despair. Activate the quest by speaking with the archangel Tyrael upon your arrival to the pandemonium fortress. Each quest in the fourth act is required to proceed into the chaos sanctuary to locate and battle Diablo. Once you receive the quest, locate the staircase exit from the pandemonium fortress into the outer steppes. Act IV Bestiary: One of Act IV's more pesky beasts is the regurgitator class, which consists of the corpulent and maw fiend. These monsters possess both a melee attack and a ranged attack... of sorts. The regurgitator spits out corpses that assist in melee attacks. If left alone, the regurgitator can continue to spit out corpses. Coupled with the Act IV presence of blood maggots and leapers, you can't afford to become overwhelmed. As soon as you see the regurgitator, ignore the corpses and eliminate the regurgitator as soon as possible. Explore the outer steppes, but keep in mind that there's no waypoint marker here, so take along plenty of town portal scrolls if you must quickly return to the pandemonium fortress. You'll find the entrance into the plains of despair somewhere in the outer steppes. Head into the plains of despair and search for Izual. As you get close, you'll hear Izual's speech.
Make an attempt to clear out the beasts that accompany Izual. As it happens with most boss monsters, it's tougher to eliminate the boss if you must contend with dozens of other common creatures as well. Take out Izual; make sure your supply of health, mana, or rejuvenation potions is high. Izual is a tough adversary with powerful cold and melee attacks, but the battles continue to get tougher throughout Act IV. If you handle Izual well, you should be nearly prepared to take on the remaining Act IV beasts; if you struggle against Izual, spend additional time exploring the outer steppes and the plains of despair to accumulate as much experience and levels as possible. Act IV, Quest I Log Entry #3: Talk to Izual's spirit. Defeating Izual triggers the arrival of Izual's spirit. Speak with Izual's spirit to fulfill the quest objective. Once complete, proceed back to the pandemonium fortress. Since there aren't any waypoint markers, use a town portal scroll; you'll be returning to the plains of despair for the next quest, so simply return through the portal to resume your trek through the fourth act.
