The [[Halls of Agony]] is a dungeon area within Diablo III that was first seen in the [[Blizzcon 2010]] demo.  It is presumably part of [[Act I]], but the name is likely subject to change.  The area served as the starting location for players in the [[PvM]] demo.  Based on the quest information provided in the demo, it is part of [[King Leoric]]'s dungeon.  The Halls of Agony were linked to another area: the [[Highlands Passage]].

The [[Halls of Agony]] dungeon has a distinctive, blood-red color scheme with a host of fiery elements.  Metal grates along the floor emit a pulsing glow from beneath, as if embers were burning below.  Some grates occasionally spew flames that can harm both the hero and [[monsters]] (see the associated images below).  Furnaces are also found that have been built into the walls of the dungeon and serve as [[Monster Generators]]. Overall, the dungeon has the feel of a torture chamber - with various devices meant to cause agony (iron maidens, stretch racks, etc) strewn throughout.
