Act III, Quest VI Log Entry #1: Smash the compelling orb with Khalim's will to open the way to Mephisto's durance.
In order to destroy the Compelling Orb found in the Blackened Temple inside Travincal, you must complete the "Khalim's Will" quest. You must recover all of Khalim's relics (his Eye, Heart, Brain, and Flail), and transmute them inside your Horadric Cube. Once you have created Khalim's Will, equip the weapon and attack the Compelling Orb to destroy the device. Destroying the Compelling Orb opens the passage into the Durance of Hate, where you'll find the Act III boss, Mephisto, waiting on the third level. For more information on Khalim's Will, head over to Act III, Quest III.

Act III Bestiary: The third act contains many upgrades to previous act creatures, including the tree lurker, a variety of the sand leaper that possesses 20 percent fire resistance and 40 percent lightning resistance. You'll also encounter the wailing beast, a wendigo-class creature with 60 percent magic resistance and 20 percent fire resistance. Others include the flesh archer, flesh hunter, and flash lancer, which are corrupt rogues with 20 percent physical resistance; giant lamprey and its unique, a higher level sand maggot; and the cadaver and drowned carass, higher level mummy and zombie respectively - the drowned carass possesses 20 percent physical resistance, 50 percent fire resistance, and 50 percent poison resistance.

Act III, Quest VI Log Entry #2: Search for Mephisto in his Durance.
After destroying the compelling orb with Khalim's will, you can proceed into the durance of hate. You must reach the third level of the durance, so begin searching for the entrance to level 2 immediately. Once you reach the durance of hate, level 2, search the floor thoroughly to find the waypoint marker. Use the marker here to return to the Kurast docks as needed. Prepare to face Mephisto by stocking up on healing potions and searching the vendors for helpful weaponry, armor, magical items, or jewelry.

UNIQUE MONSTER: Prepare for a tough battle in the durance of hate, level 3. Not only will you face the third act boss, Mephisto, but you must deal with three unique council members: Wyand Voidfinger (mana burn, teleportation), Maffer Dragonhand (extra fast, extra strong, teleportation), and Bremm Sparkfist (aura enchanted, lightning enchanted). Mana burn provides 75 percent elemental resistance, the ability to drain mana with attacks, and increases attack strength. Aura enchanted provides the unique monster with auras or spells based on level; the possibilities include Might, Holy Fire, Thorns, Blessed Aim, Holy Freeze, Holy Shock, Conviction, or Fanaticism.
