Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Astaroth:
1. Obtain a Sigil: You need an Escalation Sigil, which drops from the Great Horadric Cache at the end of a Horadric Strongroom event.
2. Run the Dungeons: Open the Escalation Sigil from your inventory and complete the dungeon sequence. Astaroth awaits at the end of the chain.
