Necromancer: I will help you find your uncle, Leah.

Leah: We’ll need to open the cathedral first. The guards locked it up before they were ambushed. Rumford told me they fought their way back to Adria’s hut. The key must still be there.

Necromancer: Leave that to me. You’d best stay and learn what you can.

Leah: Thank you.

ADRIA’S JOURNAL
Aidan came to me last night. I suspected what was lurking within his troubled heart. I consoled him as best I could. Regardless, wherever he’s headed, Hell will surely follow in his wake.

The shadows close in on Tristram once again. But, like Aidan, I’ll be gone before they fall.

Adria

Note: New dialogue options become enabled by clicking Leah.

ADRIA’S DEATH
NecromancerHow did your mother die?

Necromancer: All must serve the cycle.

Necromancer: So I have heard. But it fell to ruin with their order.

Templar: Indeed.

Note: Search for a glowy door named Leoric’s Passage.


CUTSCENE

LOCATION: LEORIC’S PASSAGE

Necromancer: Deckard Cain!

Deckard Cain: Oh… it is wonderful to hear that Leah is well! I feared the worst.


OBJECTIVES UPDATE

  • Follow Deckard Cain

Deckard Cain: I learned of this secret passage through old maps I found.

Deckard Cain: We must discuss the fallen star. Follow me to Tristram.

Note: Click the Cathedral Garden Waypoint to open the map. Click New Tristram to teleport there.


CUTSCENE

Necromancer: I have found Leah’s uncle, Deckard Cain.

He was pursued by a creature called the Skeleton King — who blocks the path to the fallen star.


OBJECTIVES UPDATE

  • Talk to Leah in New Tristram

Leah: Uncle! You’re alive!

Deckard Cain: Thanks to you and your friend here.

Necromancer: Friend? I am not often called that. But I wish to know more about the fallen star.

Deckard Cain: The Prophecy of the End Days surely points to it as a sign that the end has begun…

Leah: Please, Uncle, not more of your stories. All that matters now is that you’re back.

QUEST COMPLETE


TOWNSFOLK DIALOGUES

LIFE WITH CAIN
LeahI’ve spent most of my life traveling from place to place with Uncle Deckard while he did his crazy research.
NecromancerIt seems reasonable enough to me.
LeahHe is convinced that the forces of Hell will invade our world and bring about the end times. All these years, he’s still searching for a way to stop this… apocalypse.
ADRIA
NecromancerWhat did you learn of Adria?
LeahShe wasn’t from Tristram originally. She came here during the troubles.

She was in search of something, but I am not sure what. She reminds me of Uncle Deckard, obsessed with the war between angels and demons.

Mayor HolusSo this is how it ends? They dragged my cart from the road, but for what? I can’t get it repaired. Might as well dig a hole and die in it.
NecromancerYou would not be alone. Many have died before their time here.

Brother Malachi the Healer“From the east shall come a monarch whose rule begins in blood and ends in bone. In the light of a comet will he die a third and final death at the hands of a chosen woman.”

Villager #1: You know what would take everyone’s mind off their troubles? One of Theodas’s great comedies.
Villager #2: I’ve seen one of them. Two men dressed as women, screeching at each other and tearing their bodices? Oh, that’d cheer me right up.
Villager #1: Glad to hear it. Rehearsal is in three hours!

Arghus the Collector: Each of my items is very special to me, but I suppose I can sell you one or two things if I must.

Villager #3: Leah spent all night alongside the blacksmith’s wife, tending the wounded.
Villager #4: What? She was out defending the gates this morning. What is driving that woman?

Villager #5: Did you hear? Old Rumford has us down to half rations. How are we supposed to fight if we’re starving?
Villager #6: The rest of the town is down to quarter. Including my wife. But you can quit if you want.

THE WEARY BLACKSMITH
NecromancerWhat troubles you?
Haedrig EamonIt’s my wife; she’s very ill.
NecromancerThere is a balance in all things. Should her time come, death is nothing to fear.

Radek the Fence: Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve got some new items you really should see. Sure, I may do business with some unsavory types, but I pass the savings on to you!

Guard: This gate is locked by order of the captain.
Guard: You can’t go out there! The hollow is swarming with horrors. If we were to open these gates they’d overwhelm the town in minutes.
