Ancient Device

The Ancient Device is a random rare Event in the Desolate Sands of Act II of Diablo III.

It can only spawn in the North or South central areas of the Desolate Sands. This area must be explored in order to complete the achievement Nooks and Crannies. Lyndo's Journal is always found next to the device.

To activate the device, one must touch the pillar to the left of the device.

This event does not always spawn and has 10 possible outcomes:
 * A breakable Ancient Urn
 * A pile of diseased corpses (spawns Accursed)
 * A pack of Dust Imps
 * A pack of s
 * Entrance to The Fowl Lair
 * Several dozens of piles of gold
 * Entrance to The Veiled Treasure
 * A Rare Skeleton pack
 * A
 * A Resplendent Chest
 * Ernutet (unique Sand Dweller)

In Adventure Mode, it may be a bounty target. In that case, 4 smaller Ancient Devices will be scattered across the desert, each guarded by elite Accursed (can only interact with the devices once the Champion pack is killed). Activating them all (each rolls a random effect) will finish the event.

Description
On one hand, the event is easy to find as it is a large area, but on the other hand, the spawn chance is relatively small. If a player wants to complete the achievement, Wheel of Misfortune, they will need to interact with all 10 random outcomes. This achievement is difficult to complete because the various outcomes are not of equal possibility.
