Introduction
In the world of Diablo III, the Skeleton King was once a beloved lord named Leoric. However, his descent into madness, fueled by Diablo’s evil, led to the loss of his sons and his very soul. Though he was defeated, it appears that he has risen once again to plague the land. This article follows the quest to stop him and retrieve his old crown.
The Quest Begins
The key to defeating the Skeleton King lies in his old crown, and the protagonist is advised to seek out the blacksmith, Haedrig. The blacksmith knows the whereabouts of the crown and can guide the way.
Seeking the Crown
Leah, a skeptic, questions the significance of the signs and texts that foretell the return of evil. Despite the doubts, the journey to find the crown begins. Along the way, they encounter Haedrig, who is grappling with the difficult task of putting his wife, who has been bitten, to rest. The necromancer offers assistance, understanding the path of death all must tread.
Battling the Undead
With Haedrig’s wife laid to rest, the quest continues. The group faces hordes of ravenous dead in the Cellar of the Damned. The Templar, a companion on the journey, expresses the need to finish the work at hand, even if the protagonist cannot.
A Tragic Love
During the battle, Haedrig’s love, Mira, becomes infected and calls out for help. The Templar, who has renounced love to avoid tragedy, urges Haedrig to take action. As Haedrig mourns his loss, the necromancer assures him that granting peace to the fallen is a noble act.
A Promise Fulfilled
Grateful for the assistance, Haedrig introduces himself and agrees to help in locating the crown. The crown is buried with Haedrig’s grandfather, and the tomb can be found in the Weeping Hollow cemetery. The quest to find the crown continues.
Exploring the Cemetery
The group makes its way to the Weeping Hollow cemetery, where they encounter the fallen apprentice of Haedrig. The necromancer acknowledges the disruption in the balance caused by the apprentice’s death.
The Chancellor’s Altar
Delving deeper into the cemetery, the group searches for the Chancellor’s Altar. They encounter various crypts and tombs, but the crown is not found. The Templar reflects on the fallen king’s destructive reign, while the necromancer remains determined to find the crown.

Quest Completed
With the crown in hand, the group returns to Haedrig. Surprised by their success, he repairs the crown and expresses his desire for a more meaningful life. The necromancer informs Haedrig of his fallen apprentice, offering condolences. The quest comes to a close.
