After you find 3 keys of terror you can cube them when you are in act 5 hell and it will open a portal to a "semi uber" boss. either Andy, Duriel, or Izual.

If you google something like "diablo 2 Ubers" or "Diablo 2 Hellfire quest" it will most likely explain better, but basicly.

You need to find 3 keys of terror (only dropped by hell countess), 3 keys of hate (only dropped by hell summoner) and 3 keys of destruction (only dropped by hell Nihlathak). Once you have found all 9 keys you cube each set and kill each of the 3 semi-uber bosses. each boss will drop a body part (brain, heart, or horn).

Once you have all 3 body parts you can cube them (only in act 5 hell) and it will open a portal to "uber tristram." In uber tristram you will find a much harder version of Baal, Diablo, and Mephisto.

Diablo raises balrogs that are Fire Immune, Cold Immune, Lightning Immune, Poison Immune, and Magic Immune. Mephisto raises skelletons like they are going out of style! Uber tristram is really quite difficult and I wouldn't suggest going in there without building a specific character to beat it.

Also, there are poison spitting snakes that can roll on your way to hell Nihlathak. If you haven't built a character to survive them (ie stacked Physical Damage Reduction) they will kill you very quickly. If you stand in a poison cloud without PDR its something like ~1300 damage per second (I think).

Anyway, thats the jist of it. Good Luck on your quest to beat the ubers.

-hps

Note: I just defeated them for my first time yesterday, it was crazy in there! I thought I almost died a number if times, and since I play Hardcore, that would have been sucky.

Edit: well Evrae Altana's post was much more efficient then mine, I wish I had waited like 5 minutes.

just a minor point out... in case u find it confusing. Cube each set as in 1 terror, 1 hate n 1 destruc not 3 terror or 3 hate..
