This first quest in Diablo involves killing a powerful demon overlord known as The Butcher. It is initiated by speaking to a Wounded Townsman at the entrance to the cathedral. The townsman will inform the hero about the Butcher's attack on the search party led by Archbishop Lazarus. The Butcher himself resides in a small corpse-filled room in the middle of a large square room. As soon as his door is opened, the Butcher will utter his famous line, "Ah, fresh meat!" and attack, wielding his namesake weapon: the Butcher's Cleaver. Upon his defeat, the quest is complete and the hero is free to claim the Butcher's Cleaver as his prize.

Multiplayer Mode

This quest is one of the four Diablo quests to appear in Multiplayer mode. It is presented in the same manner as in Single Player, but the Butcher will not drop his cleaver, instead dropping a random magic item.
