Horadric Amulet: Also known as the metal headpiece that Deckard Cain spoke of in the quest objective, the Horadric amulet is found on the claw viper altar. You must destroy the claw viper altar to acquire the Horadric amulet. Locate the claw viper altar (and hence, the Horadric amulet) inside the claw viper temple, level 2. To reach the temple from Lut Gholein, proceed into the rocky waste, then the dry hills, then into the far oasis, then the lost city, then the lost city's second area (use the staircase), then the valley of the snakes, and finally the claw viper temple. Descend to the second level of the claw viper temple to find the altar and the amulet. Recommended Level to Complete the Segments of Act II, Quest II Since the second quest in Act II is divided into segments, it's important to realize that each segment offers unique challenges and escalating character strength. Many of this quest's goals overlap with other quests in Act II; realize that before attempting to complete all the goals in the second quest. Further, follow the order presented in the second quest log to basically follow the level of difficulty in the quest. To finish the halls of the dead, you should be around level 17 or 18; look to be level 18 or 19 before venturing inside the maggot's lair; and strive to be level 19 or 20 before exploring the lost city. Naturally, these are just recommendations, and if you spend additional time gaining experience, levels, and skills, you could have an easier time completing the dungeons. On the other hand, it's possible to complete the quest at a lower level, but expect quite a challenge. UNIQUE MONSTER: Search the far oasis for Beetleburst, who's magic resistant (a 75 percent resistance against elemental attack). Act II Bestiary: The leapers! Though small and relatively harmless, these tiny critters can put up quite a fight! The sand leaper, tomb creaper, and cave leaper are quite agile and can actually leap over your character making melee attack (and even other means of attack) quite difficult. In numbers, be prepared for a lot of back and forth attacking. One positive note, though, is that the leapers can potentially take damage with each leap making your job easier if you can eventually strike the target! Act II, Quest II Log Entry #1: Show the scroll to Cain in Lut Gholein After you defeat Radament in the sewers, level 3, search for the marked chest and grab the Horadric scroll inside. Return to Lut Gholein, either via the waypoint on the second sewer level, town portal scroll, or by ascending out of the sewers and back into Lut Gholein. Speak with Deckard Cain with Horadric scroll in hand to complete the entry and learn the quest's objective.
