Act IV, Quest II: Hell's Forge
To activate the second quest in Act IV, speak with Deckard Cain after completing the fallen angel quest. You'll need Mephisto's soulstone to complete the quest. If you picked up the soulstone after defeating Mephisto in the durance of hate, you're prepared. If not, Deckard Cain will supply Mephisto's soulstone required to complete the quest.

Act IV, Quest II Objective from Cain
"The time has come for you to destroy Mephisto's Soulstone Take the Stone to the Hellforge. Place it upon the forge and strike it soundly with the Hammer. Only by doing this can you prevent Mephisto from manifesting in this world ever again."

Act IV, Quest II Location
The hellforge is located in the river of flame, quite a long trek from the pandemonium fortress. To reach the hellforge starting in town, proceed into the outer steppes, then into the plains of despair, then past the city of the damned, and finally into the river of flame. There are waypoint markers located in the city of the damned and river of flame areas. Search these areas thoroughly and activate the markers; should you die at the hellforge, activating these waypoint markers will save you a lot of travel time in returning to the hellforge and your corpse.

The river of flame lies beyond the city of the damned.
TIP:
During your exploration of the river of flame, you might bump into Hadriel, who guards the entrance into the chaos sanctuary. Hadriel won't let you pass until the hell's forge quest is completed. Remember Hadriel's location, however, because the chaos sanctuary she guards is also your destination in Diablo II's final quest, terror's end.


UNIQUE MONSTER: The Armorer is extra strong, cursed, and magic resistant.
