Act II, Quest V: The Summoner
To activate the fifth quest in Act II, locate the Summoner, who protects Horazon's journal, inside the arcane sanctuary. As you approach, a new entry appears in your quest log.

Act II Bestiary: The panther women inhabit the deserts of Act II and come in several different forms, many with different attacks. For instance you'll encounter the spear cat and night slinger, which can use standard attack or toss exploding or poison potions respectively. Usually found in large panther women groups, you'll also find hell cats, hell slingers, saber cats, and huntresses during your stay in the desert.

Act II, Quest V Location
The Summoner is located in the arcane sanctuary. During your trip inside the Lut Gholein palace to complete the fourth quest in Act II, arcane sanctuary, you assuredly encounter The Summoner, who protects your eventual goal, Horazon's journal. To reach the Summoner from Lut Gholein, venture into the palace and down two harem levels. Enter the palace cellar and head down three levels to the portal that takes you into the arcane sanctuary. You'll find the Summoner protecting Horazon's journal.

Recommended Level to Complete Act II, Quest V
Since the fifth act of Act II is intertwined with the previous quest, arcane sanctuary, it carries a similar level recommendation. Venturing through the tough underbelly of the palace and defeating the Summoner requires a sturdy character. Be prepared to be above level 20 before attempting to complete the Summoner quest and rid the palace underbelly of its nefarious demons.

Act II, Quest V Log Entry #1: Kill the Summoner.
Once you spot and approach the Summoner inside the arcane sanctuary, the quest activates, and you're presented with a quite direct quest log entry: Kill the Summoner. A tough spell-caster specializing in cold spells, the Summoner stands protected behind hordes of common creatures. Attempt to lure the creatures away from the Summoner to clear your path to the magic user. It's the minions that provide the most complications; once you reach the Summoner, he'll fall fairly quickly to your melee, ranged, or spell-based weaponry. Just be prepared to counter with thawing potions or cold resistant items if you venture within the Summoner's spell radius. Defeat the Summoner and collect any dropped items. Grab Horazon's journal from behind the Summoner to complete the fourth quest in Act II, arcane sanctuary.
