As a Barbarian, leap attack and whirlwind make an effective combination (as long as you have reached level thirty and attained the whirlwind skill). Use the standard leap to avoid Diablo's lightning and fire attacks then close in with the whirlwind attack. Alternatively, you can combine the leap attack with double swing - two hands, each with powerful magical weaponry, can take down Diablo with repeated hit and run attacks. A Necromancer could use an enchanted Iron Golem (improved above the first skill) combined with the Iron Maiden skill. The combination causes damage to Diablo when the Act IV boss retaliates against the Iron Golem's attack. Save an impressive magical metallic item to create the Iron Golem (it retains properties of the item) and enhance with an Amplify Damage curse. High-powered Bone Spear could prove effective along with an Iron or Blood Golem attack. If you've eclipsed level 30, use revive to bring along some Act IV minions to greet Diablo. If you've pumped up Skeleton Mastery, the points will pay off increasing the revived monsters' potency. The Paladin should switch elemental resistances on the fly to counter Diablo's powerful attacks - put those fire, cold, and lightning resistances on easy-to-use hotkeys! Zeal can be extremely powerful - if elevated to higher skill levels. Additionally, Thorns can provide the Paladin with additional protection; with each strike against the Paladin, Diablo takes damage (depending on the Thorns skill level).
After defeating Diablo, gather the dropped reward (unique, rare, or set item), and return to Tyrael in the pandemonium fortress to complete the quest.
"Praise be to the Light! You have accomplished the impossible! Diablo and Mephisto have been banished back into the Black Abyss that spawned them and the corrupted Soulstones are no more. You have done well, hero." Act IV, Quest III Reward Defeat Diablo and receive a rare, set, or unique item. Also, your character is granted a surname and additional difficulty levels become available (hardcore, nightmare, and hell).
