I orginally made this thread to ask about how curses stack, but found out that attract is the only one that stacks. So wanted to make this thread about another question I had.

I got a key of destruction a little while ago... Where does the key go?

I know there are key sets, and organ sets, but I don't know what makes up the sets, and what they are used for, or their overall significance.

As far as curses stacking, there are other ways to get curses to stack too, that depend on monster types. Let's say you're fighting a boss pack, you can decrepify, and then cast dim vision, and all the pack except for the unique will be DV'd and the boss will be decrepified.

As for your other question:
There are three Super Uniques that drop Keys. The Countess drops the Key of Terror, the Summoner drops the Key of Hate, and finally, Nihlathak drops the Key of Destruction. Once you have a set of these keys, you can combine them in the Horadric Cube to create a portal to either the Matron's Den, and I forget the names of the other two, but basically River of Flame tileset place and the Canyon tileset. In each of those portals awaits a special boss. In the Matron's Den, it's Uber Andariel (named Lilith), and in the desert one, it's Uber Duriel. Finally, in the River of Flame one, it's Uber Izual. These are far tougher versions of these monsters. Once you kill them, each of them drops a specific organ. Once you have all three you can open a portal to Uber Tristram.

Here you fight the Uber Three; Diablo, Mephisto and Baal. Killing all three of them nets you the Hellfire Torch unique large charm.

Thanks for the info, one more thing. What's it mean when your screen shakes like after a boss kill... but just randomly?

Sorry, not sure what you're referring to.

you know when you kill andy or duriel and the screen shakes so bad you can barely loot for a few seconds?

I was getting that when running thru act 5... somewhere past the second WP. I thought it might mean something. I cleared the area, but never saw anything interesting.

That's a move used by siege beasts (http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act5-siegebeast.shtml). They say it causes damage, but I've never noticed anything from it; I've also never seen them use charge.

that siege beast was probably it, as for charge I hate it. Though I have not seen the seige beast do it either.
