Act II, Quest I: Radament's Lair
Activate the first quest in Act II by speaking with Atma in Lut Gholein. Completing this first quest not only offers a substantial rewards, it also provides an easy bridge into the second - and most important - quest in he act.

Act II, Quest I Objective from Atma
"In the sewers below our city, there lurks a horrid creature that hungers for human flesh. The creature has killed many, including my son and my husband. If you destroy it, I will reward you. Please be careful though, that beast has taken enough from us already. The sewer entrance is through the trap door just up the street."

Act II, Quest I Location
The sewers below Lut Gholein can be accessed in a couple of locations. You can use the trap door inside town to reach the sewers. Or, look for the entrance at the edge of town that also leads directly into the dangerous sewers. Radament will be found on the sewers' third level.

Act II Bestiary: The undead inhabiting Act II are significantly more impressive than their Act I counterparts. Most include resistances to various elements and poison and some employ powerful ranged weaponry. For instance, prepare to encounter the bone mage, burning dead mage, and horror mage in fire, ice, poison, and lightning varieties. Each carries 50 percent resistance to poison (a staple of the undead) while others carry resistances to their respective elements. You'll find them employing special elemental attacks (depending on their type) and often supporting melee undead, making them even more deadly and tough to reach.

Recommended Level to Complete Act II, Quest I
Assuming you met the recommendation of level 15 upon defeating Andariel, you're in fairly good shape to head into the sewers and seek out Radament. Ideally, you should be around level 16 or 17 before facing off against the sewer boss. Should you desire to level up, head out into the desert surrounding Lut Gholein before diving into the sewers.

Act II, Quest I Log Entry #1: Find Radament's Lair in the Lut Gholein sewers.
Activate the quest by speaking with Atma, then locate your preferred entrance into the sewers - either through the trap door inside Lut Gholein or the entrance just on the edge of town. Both are sufficient and will take you to your eventual goal, Radament's lair on the third sewer level.

Attack Radament quickly before the sewer boss starts raising the undead.
There's a lot of undead in the sewers. If you plan on using melee attacks, equip clubs or maces (which do extra damage against undead monsters). Also, many undead creatures have poison effects (including gas emissions upon death); wearing armor with poison resistance could help considerably in keeping you healthy. Stock up on healing potions while in Lut Gholein to prepare for your exploration of the large sewers.

UNIQUE MONSTER: Radament is extra fast, giving him bonuses to attack rate and velocity.
