Uber Diablo or Diablo Clone is a monster that spawns only on Hell difficulty ladder games on Battle.net when a certain number of Stone of Jordan rings are sold to merchants. A notification is displayed on-screen whenever a Stone of Jordan is sold, indicating the number that have been sold. Once a certain number of these rings are sold, the whole screen shakes and the words “Diablo Walks the Earth” appear on the screen. This message means that Uber Diablo has spawned. He will spawn at the first Super Unique monster you encounter. So you can basically choose the location to fight Uber Diablo by selecting which Super Unique you want him to replace. He is similar in appearance to Hell level Diablo and is a formidable challenge. When killed, Uber Diablo drops the only unique small charm in the game, the Annihilus. It is recommended to have high lightning and fire resistance and physical damage reduction before taking on Uber Diablo.
As mentioned, Uber Diablo spawns when a certain number of Stones of Jordan have been sold to merchants. This was originally intended to combat the rampant duping of SoJ’s and, though it is now a somewhat antiquated problem, this is still the system used to spawn him.
When a game is created in Diablo II, it is randomly created on a server or IP Address, which range from .30 to .180, for a total of 151 possible servers. Each server keeps track of the number of SoJ’s sold, and Uber Diablo will walk when a certain number have been sold. The exact number is unclear, but it is generally believed to range from 75-150. There are several methods to track which servers are close to spawning Uber Diablo, the easiest of which is likely to join the chat channel Op DClone. The most difficult part of camping an Uber Diablo spawn is landing a game in the correct server. To determine which server your game is on, make sure you are in the game, tab out to your desktop, and click the Start button on your Windows taskbar. Choose (or type in) Run and type in cmd. This will open a command prompt, into which you type:
netstat –n | find “4000”
This will cause a line of numbers to appear. Your server number is the number that appears directly before :4000 at the end of the line. Now all that’s left to do is repeat this process until you create a game in the appropriate server. It should be noted that servers are realm specific, so an Uber Diablo spawn on server .45 on USWest will not necessarily correlate to a spawn on .45 on USEast.

Besides the monsters found in the five acts, there are a few other special boss enemies to be concerned with.
Once a character defeats Baal on a given difficulty level, that character may open the red portal to the Secret Cow Level. There you will find the Cow King, and countless numbers of his (her?) mooing brethren. Hamburger them all.
Besides the Cow King, there are two other realm-only quests. The first has no proper name, and is commonly referred to as the Uber Diablo quest. In this quest players selling Stones of Jordan Unique Rings may trigger Uber Diablo to appear in the place of one of the SuperUniques in a given game. Uber Diablo is the only monster in the game who can drop Annihilus, the Unique small charm. See the Uber Diablo page for more details.
The other special quest was added in v1.11 and it is the biggie. It consists of four special areas in which players encounter six SuperUniques. See the Pandemonium Event page for full details about all of them and the multi-stage quest they are a part of.
