'''The Torture Chambers of the Mad King''' is a dungeon area within [[Diablo III]] that was first seen in the [[Blizzcon 2010]] demo. It was more of a jail-like area than a torture chamber, filled with cells housing the remains of the loyal servants of [[Queen Alyssa]] and presumably any others who stood against [[King Leoric]].  Note: The quest associated with the three levels in the Blizzcon 2010 demo ([[Halls of Agony]], [[Highlands Passage]], and [[The Torture Chambers of the Mad King (level)|The Torture Chambers of the Mad King]]) bears the same name as the level/area described on this page. See [[The Torture Chambers of the Mad King (quest)]] for information specific to the quest line.
