Nekarat the [[Keywarden ]] is a Unique boss added in [[Patch v1.0.5]]. This monster can be found somewhere in the [[Silver Spire Level One]], an area in Act Four.
On Inferno difficulty Nekarat has a chance to drop the [[Plan:_Infernal_Machine|Infernal Machine crafting plan]] that teaches the [[Blacksmith]] to create the [[Portal Device]], an essential component of the [[Infernal Machine]] end game event.
Unlike the other three Keywardens, Nekarat does not need to be farmed[[farm]]ed, since each player only needs to find the Infernal Machine plan once, to teach it to their Blacksmith permanently. ==Nekerat Strategy== Nekerat is a challenging enemy who is especially difficulty for melee fighters. Besides his basic swiping claw attack and good foot speed he has the [[Jailer]] ability to stop fleeing enemies. His most dangerous attack is a melee range fire field that swirls out from him on the ground. This deals huge damage to anything in range and is powerful enough to [[one-shot]] most players if they are not using a powerful defensive ability when the attack comes. The best strategy for defeating him is to stay out of reach and pelt him with ranged attacks. Even that may not be safe, since Nekerat has high hit points and good movement speed and he will stay doggedly in pursuit of a Demon Hunter or Wizard no matter what sort of escape or movement skills they use to attempt to avoid him. ==Nekerat Stats== '''Nekarat the Keywarden'''<br>''Seething Chaos''* Race: Unknown* Type: Demon* Health Globe Chance: 45%* Xp Factor: 125% ''The ancient texts describe the [[terror demon]]s as unconquerable foes, the dreams of Diablo made flesh. They appear in shadow to torment their victims, and then... in shadow they vanish. The mere sight of one drove a [[Horadrim]] to madness, leaving him screaming and clawing at his eyes until the end of his days.''

Creating a [[Hellfire Ring]] requires multiple steps. Refer to the [[Infernal Machine]] article for full details, but briefly:
