Once you do reach Leoric's throne, a bridge crumbles behind you leaving no escape; you must defeat Leoric to survive. Leoric's giant bones are found on a throne, and they remain motionless until a player produces [[The Crown of the Skeleton King]], a quest item found in the dungeon above[[Defiled Crypt]]. The crown restores Leoric to life, and he rises up, taunting the player wielding a massive two-handed maul. As soon as Leoric is activated squads of all types of skeletons come from the sides of the screen, and more are found throughout Leoric's throne room, if the player retreats from the dais on which Leoric's throne sits.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>===Boss Abilities in Diablo III===

Leoric deals substantial damage with his massive club, but only swings once every few seconds, giving a player plenty of time to score hits on him between swings. It's a good idea to try to stay just out of range so you can dodge the attack, since it deals considerable damage.abilities during combat are as follows:

* '''Teleport Smash''' - Leoric also retains will, as with all of his ability to summon skeletonsabilities, broadcast this one outright. He'll cock his head up, grinning, and will do so during while a ghostly apparition of himself moves through the fight, if given air towards the opportunityplayer. Most players at BlizzCon would fight Afterwards, Leoric will teleport into melee range, swinging his mace for a momenthigh damage. * '''Summon Skeletons''' - Leoric will float away from the player, put his gauntlet on the ground, and then run off rise up. After, true to form, he will summon [[Returned]] and kill some [[Shield Bearer]]s in melee range of the player. This attack can be interrupted with stuns and freezing, but there's diminishing returns on both debuffs. The skeletons he summoned to get a are the only source of non-[[potion]] health regeneration during this fight, as they drop [[health globeglobes]] or two, then return to the battle with Leoric.
