The door of Hades' Vault
This is an Hades (Act IV) Side Quest.
Hades has hidden a great treasure in the City of Lost Souls. The shade Aristonymus is determined to steal it. His problem: He is standing in front of the locked vault but has yet to figure out how to open it. If you find the key, you can beat him to the treasure.
