Jar of Souls skeleton massacre aftermath.

Jar of Souls

The Jar of Souls is an urn that the player can interact with to begin the Jar of Souls event early in Act I, within the Defiled Crypts located below the Cemetery of the Forsaken, which players must explore while participating in the Shattered Crown quest.

The Jar of Souls is found on a small pedestal within the crypt, always in a large room in the shape of a "+" with four hallways leading in from each side. When the Jar of Souls is clicked, a sixty second countdown begins, during which skeletons rise up from the floor in ever-increasing numbers. Players need not kill all of them, and must simply survive for the full time, after which any remaining skeletons will fall dead.

Clicking the Jar of Souls again after the countdown will trigger the quest completion, and award the player with gold, experience, and some random item drops from the jar. Players also gain considerable experience and loot from the skeleton battle itself.

Quest Rewards

Exp: 975
Gold: 200

Location Details

In each game there are four possible locations for tomb entrances below the Cemetery of the Forsaken. Three of them are randomly-activated each game, and those three entrances randomly access the following three levels:

One small tomb with no special events inside.
One medium-sized tomb with a stairway down to a lower level, which leads down to the Shattered Crown item, required to complete the quest.
One large tomb in which players will find either the Jar of Souls event or the Matriarch's Bones event, but never both.

Skeleton Battle

Most players find this quest event a lot of fun, for the chance to battle a huge number of weak monsters. Skills that damage multiple targets per use are highly-effective in this area, and the sheer number of skeletons gives a very good chance for high bonuses from Mighty Blows and massacres.

-This event takes place on the [[Ancient Pyre]] map tile which has a random chance to spawn in the [[Southern Highlands]]. The pyre is also home to other [[adventure]]s and may not spawn Gharbad at all.

-When it does spawn, the Ghost of Gharbad will be awaiting the player for his [[event]]. Speak with him to begin. Note that he sounds nothing like his [[Diablo I]] counterpart, but still tasks the player with helping, because he is too weak to do so on his own, even in spectral form.
-The first phase is very simple: destroy two wards that are very close to Gharbad, and have barely any [[health]]. However, a handful of khazra ghosts will also spawn, and while they are not [[elite]], they hit surprisingly hard. Use the pyre in the middle of the area to break line of sight with the ranged attackers if the hero is taking too much damage.
+==Location Details==
-A shaman will spawn with the ranged and melee goats, and is the objective for the second phase of the event. Kill him to move forward.
-Speak with Gharbad once again to initiate the final phase of the event which is, of course, to kill him. However, the ghost of Gharbad the Weak quickly mutates into the living manifestation of Gharbad the Strong, and he is fairly strong.

-Gharbad has no special [[boss modifiers]], but he does hit very hard in melee and has a knockback attack with extra health. Once he is defeated (again), the event will be complete.
