==Navigation==
[[File:City of the Damned.png|frame|center|Stairway down to [[River of Flame]] can be found by [[waypoint]] in [[City of the Damned]].]]

*Upon descending stairs from City of the Damned to River of Flame, turn left: waypoint is always to east, while Hellforge is always located at northwest or southeast end of penninsula in river. If waypoint is found before Hellforge, turn back: upon approaching Hellforge, quest notification icon will appear in bottom-left corner of screen.
<br>

==Hell Forge Hammer==
[[File:Hephasto the Armorer.png|frame|center|[[Hephasto the Armorer|{{Ub|=Hephasto the Armorer}}]] is a [[Spectral Hit]] [[Aura Enchanted]] [[Super Unique]] guarding Hellforge.]]

*[[The Guardian#Reward|{{Ub|=Mephisto's Soulstone}}]] can be placed upon Hellforge by clicking on it if player picked it up after killing [[Mephisto|{{Ub|=Mephisto}}]] at end of Act 3, or if player has talked to [[Deckard Cain]] and received it from him (may have dropped on floor if there was insufficient inventory space). However, it can only be destroyed using the {{Ub|=Hell Forge Hammer}}, which is carried by {{Ub|=Hephasto the Armorer}} and dropped upon his death.
*He has no inherent immunity even in Hell, and can never become [[Immune to Magic]] or [[Immune to Poison]] (he has [[Poison Resist]] -50% in Normal and Nightmare). Can become [[Immune to Physical]] (100%) when [[Stone Skin]] in Hell, and also [[Immune to Fire]], [[Immune to Lightning]] or [[Immune to Cold]] with other [[Unique (monster)|Unique]] bonuses.
*[[Knockback]] applies, and can be used to pin him against an obstacle to incapacitate him.
*Character must equip {{Ub|=Hell Forge Hammer}} and attack {{Ub|=Mephisto's Soulstone}} placed upon Hellforge a number of times to destroy it.
<br>

==Reward==
*Upon destruction of [[The Guardian#Reward|{{Ub|=Mephisto's Soulstone}}]], one [[Perfect Gem|Perfect]], two [[Flawless Gem|Flawless]] and one [[Normal Gem|normal gem]] drop from Hellforge. Additionally, in [[Expansion]] games one [[rune]] drops, depending on [[difficulty]] level:

*Runes have equal chance of dropping, so each has 1/11 chance.
*Quest is completed for all allied players present in Act 4 when {{Ub|=Mephisto's Soulstone}} is destroyed: one Perfect gem is dropped for each allied player. Hellforge quest is normally completed by players that are '''not''' allied (it is good etiquette to leave party before completing quest), so that each will also receive other gems (and Rune in Expansion games) when they destroy their own.
*Although unnecessary, returning to talk to [[Deckard Cain]] prompts the following:

{{Ub|=Congratulations, hero!}}

{{Ub|=Surely, even Diablo, himself, sensed the fury unleashed when you smashed his Brother's Soulstone.}}
