Act I, Quest I Log Entry #2: Kill all the monsters in the den.
As soon as you enter the den of evil, you're provided with your next objective in the quest log. Just as Akara said, it's time to rid the den of the massing evil creatures. Explore the den, a single-level dungeon, and eliminate all the creatures inside.

Act I, Quest I Log Entry #3: Monsters remaining: 5
Your quest log will update you once you're nearing completion of the den of evil quest. Once five monsters remain inside the den of evil, a quest entry notification appears on the screen. Your quest log will continue to count down until there's one monster remaining. Expect to encounter a few unique and champion creatures inside the den. Be prepared for a tough fight if you decide to proceed into the den before taking time to gain experience, levels, skills, and equipment.

NOTE:
Sometime during your exploration of Act I, you'll encounter your first "Champion" monster; these enhanced versions of standard monsters typically travel in small packs (with other similar type champions). The champion attribute provides several modifies to the standard monster - these include double minimum and maximum damage, double to hit, 20 percent increased velocity, 120 percent increased attack rate, six times hit points, level plus four, and experience points times three.


UNIQUE MONSTER: Inside the den of evil, you'll find Corpsefire, a unique monster with a spectral hit attack. Spectral hit provides 20 percent elemental resistances to the unique monster, plus the monster's damage includes a random elemental attack in addition to standard damage. Corpsefire also has double chance to hit and is quite durable - expect quite a battle!

Act I, Quest I Log Entry #4: Return to Akara for a reward.
The lighting inside the den changes once the final monster is eliminated. Your quest log indicates a new objective - head back to Akara to receive your reward for completing the den of evil quest. Exit the den of evil and return to the rogue encampment. Alternatively, you could use a town portal scroll, but you're so close to town it's wiser to save the scroll.

Act I, Quest I Completed from Akara
"You have cleansed the Den of Evil. You've earned my trust and may yet restore my faith in humanity. Your reward is training in the skill of your choice."

Act I, Quest I Reward
Follow your quest log and return to the rogue encampment to speak with Akara once you have eliminated all the monsters in the den of evil. Akara provides a significant reward for completing the first quest - Akara rewards the player with a bonus skill point. It's one of a very few opportunities to gain an additional skill point (other than the one you gain from leveling up), so honor the reward with a wise skill selection or enhancement!

TIP:
In a multiplayer game, the +1 skill point award is given to all players who complete the quest - which are all players (and party members) who were in the den when the last monster was killed. Keep in mind, however, that players cannot receive the +1 skill award multiple times.
