D12 locked doors and boss

So I've been investing time in D12 with my main character and I have yet to find the boss. I must have put in 4 or 5 hours and I'm running into mostly locked doors and no boss yet. It seems that I've explored most of the dungeon that I can access by myself.

Are all of the locked doors in D12 just there for aesthetics, or do they have stuff behind them? Do I need a rogue to get me past the locked doors to the boss or am I missing an area? I'll make sure to write down some notes as to all the area's that I've explored and I'll reply to my post here later.

Thanks for the help,

Necropolis (D12) has a lot of permanently locked doors. Buildings are one of the terrain features of the city, so there are doorways everywhere. Many of them have nothing significant behind them. Others are locked for a purpose, like until you find the necessary key. Necropolis is designed so you have to work your way around the city to the North End until you kill the boss. After that, you can go through the city's middle.

As for the boss, that's Lord Dire. To reach him, you require a summons that must be obtained from an NPC within one of the buildings. Keep trying the doors until you find the NPC.

Tip: When you finally make it into the town hall, don't run in to attack Lord Dire. Use ranged attacks until you get him to come to you, because if you run in to fight him, you'll spawn a great number of his allies. That's actually good advice for most of the dungeons. If you charge into battle, expect to be ambushed from time to time.

Great tips! Thanks for the help.

I'm really enjoying the server and its diverse environments.

Thanks again for all the hard work!
