3 of 11: The Hellforge is in the River of Flame.
4 of 11: It is usually to the north of the entrance.
5 of 11: Wander around until you find it.
6 of 11: Beware of the Armorer -- this guy will tear you apart three times before you hit the floor.
7 of 11: If you're an Amazon, using a bow, hit-and-run. If you are a Barbarian, use War Cry. If you're a Necromancer, try to get a good flow of minions between you and him, then draw him to some corpses. If you are a Paladin, use thorns.
8 of 11: Once he falls, get the hammer off of his corpse.
9 of 11: Now bring the gem to the forge.
10 of 11: Equip the hammer and smash the gem.
