Normal Items: From 1-6, the max allowed for that particular item. You can only use this quest reward once on a given item. The quest adds the maximum number of sockets possible to the item you choose to socket. The socketing quest is just like the imbue quest in Act One, you can wait and do it as much later as you want to, and it will remain an option when you click Larzuk until you use it. RewardĪfter Shenk is dead, when you next return to town Larzuk will offer to add a socket(s) to an item, and will discount his prices to you. This doesn’t do anything in terms of damage to you, but it’s colorful and fun to see, if it doesn’t cause you incredible machine lag, especially if Shenk spawns with the multiple shots modifier (only applicable in Nightmare and Hell difficulty). Upon Shenk’s death, dozens of catapult shots rain down on the area. Shenk has a decent amount of hit points, but doesn’t hit that hard, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble on any difficulty level if you can avoid the charging explosive minions. Sorceresses and Bowazons love the Bloody Foothills. He is surrounded by a few dozen minions, and he will lash several of them each time into an explosive rage, but with the ledges around him and the narrow stairs, you can take them on one or two at a time, or get to a corner and devastate them with any ranged attack. The first of his kind you see, but you’ll see dozens more in the levels to come. There isn’t any great strategy needed to kill Shenk, he’s just a bigger, stronger Overseer. If you already had the Frigid Highlands waypoint and wanted to go right to Shenk, you could just take that waypoint, and then run back into the Bloody Foothills, and Shenk would be right there.
Shenk is always found near the end of the long, rectangular level. Your mission accepted, you set out into the Bloody Foothills. If you manage to do this, return to me.” Shenk. If you wish to prove yourself to us, destroy the monster, Shenk, that commands those infernal catapults outside Harrogath. A ruthless taskmaster, he lashes his own minions into suicidal frenzies on the battlefield. Catapults rain death just outside the town walls.īaal himself travels up the sacred mountain, having left in charge here one of his most vicious generals, Shenk the Overseer. “If you’re here to defeat Baal, you must prove it!” As we speak, Harrogath is under siege by Baal’s demons.
He will have the “!” over his head, and if you click on him he gives you his introduction speech, and then offer the following: When you first enter town, if you approach Larzuk the Blacksmith.
Quest Priority: Not mandatory, but has a nice reward and Shenk is on your way. Reward: Larzuk will socket an item of your choice discounted prices in town. You must find Shenk the Overseer, and kill him. This first quest in the Act is about as straight-forward as a quest can be.
