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===
