Duriel witnessed Diablo's vision of the End of Days and rejoiced. However, when she found Duriel's soul, there was no confrontation.

She approached him with fear, knowing that if he failed and he imprisoned her in his domain, she could look forward to years, possibly decades of torture before being granted the peace of death. The Black Soulstoneĭuriel was the second of the Great Evils that Adria marked for absorption into the Black Soulstone. However, the heroes were able to overcome and slay Duriel. Duriel exacted a heavy toll upon his foes, savouring in the screams of the wounded. Finally, Duriel met his match in a group of heroes who were pursuing Diablo. Embittered by this new position of solitary servitude, the Lord of Pain claimed the souls and blood of many bold adventurers.

As punishment for his part in the Dark Exile, Baal left Duriel behind to guard the tomb. Diablo freed Baal from his imprisonment in the Tomb of Tal Rasha. Therefore, they endeavoured to gain favour with the Lord of Terror by protecting his human host.

Andariel and Duriel concluded that the Primes would inevitably reclaim their position in Hell. Nearly three hundred years after the Dark Exile, Diablo finally escaped from his captivity beneath the Tristram Cathedral, heading east to reunite with Mephisto and Baal.
