Halls of the Blind

From Diablo Wiki

This quest appears in the catacombs on dungeon level 7, and involves entering a room full of foes that can turn invisible. It is initiated by reading the Book of the Blind , found on level 7.

After reading the poem, the hero is able to enter a previously sealed room shaped like a figure eight and containing two smaller rooms. The room is filled with Illusion Weavers, which can turn invisible while moving about. They only become visible to attack. The quest is completed by retrieving the Optic Amulet, which is located inside one of the two smaller rooms.

[edit] NPC Quotes

Deckard Cain:

"You recite an interesting rhyme written in a style that reminds me of other works. Let me think now - what was it?

...Darkness shrouds the Hidden. Eyes glowing unseen with only the sounds of razor claws briefly scraping to torment those poor souls who have been made sightless for all eternity. The prison for those so Damned is named the Halls of the Blind..."

Griswold:

"I am afraid that I have neither heard nor seen a place that matches your vivid description, my friend. Perhaps Cain the storyteller could be of some help."

Farnham:

"Look here... (chuckles) That's pretty funny, huh? Get it? Blind - look here? (laughs)"

Gillian:

"If you have questions about blindness, you should talk to Pepin. I know that he gave my grandmother a potion that helped clear her vision, so maybe he can help you, too."

Pepin:

"This does seem familiar, somehow. I seem to recall reading something very much like that poem while researching the history of demonic afflictions. It spoke of a place of great Evil that... Wait - you're not going there, are you?"

Ogden:

"I never much cared for poetry. Occasionally, I had cause to hire minstrels when the Inn was doing well, but that seems like such a long time ago now.

What? Oh, yes... uh, well, I suppose you could see what someone else knows."

Wirt:

"Let's see, am I selling you something? No. Are you giving me money to tell you about this? No. Are you now leaving and going to talk to the storyteller who lives for this kind of thing? Yes."

Adria:

"This is a place of great anguish and terror, and so serves its master well.

Tread carefully or you may yourself be staying much longer than you had anticipated."
