Duriel Quest

[Epi]

A few corrections:

The only time that he doesn't get credit for it is if the character that is questing has already completed the quest before, in which case the character in town would get the old "you cannot complete this quest..." message.

Another case is when character in town is not enough "old" to get quest credit (clvl 8 for Imbue quest, clvl 20/40/60 for Ancients).

Hepphy would only drop the hellforge hammer if the town-sitter was present for his death, but the townie does not need to get the final blow. But, if the town-sitter stays in town at the moment of Hephasto's death, the hammer will not drop and the town-sitter will get the "cannot complete quest" message.

From my expirience, this is not correct - Hephasto will drop the hammer if there is at least one player in the game that can complete the quest, regardless of where he's located. (Not 100% sure, but I think he may be even in different act.)

For act bosses, the town-sitter must get the final blow in order to complete the quest. So, if you're carrying a character along, be sure not to exit or unparty before you get the credit for beating the boss...

Not correct - "town-sitter" just need to be reasonably close to the act bosses at the moment of their death.

EDIT: Regarding so-called "Duriel quest" - it actially has nothing to do with Duriel. Instead, quest is completed when you talk with Tyrael. (Well, you have to kill Duriel to get access to Tyrael, but killing him does not trigger any quest completion by itself.)

Now, when character who didn't have that quest before talks with Tyrael, then everybody who partied with him get credit for the quest as well, provided they are currently in Act 2 (any place).
