His set of abilities is really hard to dodge with its AoE damage, homing orbs that follow you around even if you run, and his ability to summons elites. After finishing this quest, the story will finally revolve around Lilith.

In a Chorus of Voices, you will be traveling on this quest with Lorath and Donan. This is where Lilith found a way to absorb Mephisto's power and found the gateway to hell to open it with the key. Your quest will be to beat Lilith at the gate to imprison her inside the Worldstone.
