Exact Dialogue: This does not bode well, for it confirms my darkest fears. While I did not allow myself to believe the ancient legends, I cannot deny them now. Perhaps the time has come to reveal who I am.

My true name is Deckard Cain the Elder, and I am the last descendant of an ancient brotherhood that was dedicated to safeguarding the secrets of a timeless evil. An evil that quite obviously has now been released.

The Archbishop Lazarus, once King Leoric's most trusted advisor, led a party of simple townsfolk into the labyrinth to find the King's missing son, Albrecht. Quite some time passed before they returned, and only a few of them escaped with their lives.

Curse me for a fool! I should have suspected his veiled treachery then. It must have been Lazarus himself who kidnapped Albrecht and has since hidden him within the labyrnth. I do not understand why the Archbishop turned to the darkness, or what his interest is in the child. Unless he means to sacrifice him to his dark masters!

That must be what he has planned! The survivors of his 'rescue party' say that Lazarus was last seen running into the deepest bowels of the labyrinth. You must hurry and save the prince from the sacrificial blade of this demented fiend!

Details: When you reach the fifteenth level of the labyrinth, you will be unable to continue any further in the labyrinth. However, you will find a Vile Staff somewhere on the level that you can grab and return to Cain in Tristram. Cain will tell you that you must slay Archbishop Lazarus, after which you can return back to level fifteen and find that the pentagram in the floor is now accessible to Lazarus' sanctum. Slay the Archbishop and the named demons with him to open a gate back to level fifteen. Now, when you step through the pentagram, it will lead to the final floor of the labyrinth - Diablo's lair.
