Machines of War Diablo III Guide

Go through the Arreat Gate

This quest will begin automatically after completing the previous one. You start in the Armory and the first thing you need to do is to return to the Bastion's Keep Stronghold. Once you're there locate a large passageway leading to the Arreat Gate.

Talk to Sergeant Pale outside the Arreat Gate

Descend the stairs. You don't have to remain cautious here, because you won't encounter any demons. Approach the catapults, locate Sergeant Pale and talk to him.

Cross the Bridge of Korsikk

You may proceed forward. Soon after you've walked through a gate you will enter a new area called The Battlefields and you must be ready to engage new monsters in combat. Blood Clan Warriors always act as a group and some of their attacks have a bashing effect. Heralds of Pestilence like to put one hand in the ground, allowing themselves to poison you even from a large distance. Winged Moloks are a stronger version of flying creatures you've already encountered on the stronghold's walls. They usually attack in groups and they like to spit fireballs. Reviled aren't a threat. Hell Bringers on the other hand are a serious problem. You should know that they like to surround themselves with traps and they activate them when you move closer. Aside from the creatures described above you should also expect to meet some of the monsters you've already fought with in this act.

The fields definitely aren't one of the larger locations of this act. Continue exploring them until you've located the Bridge of Korsikk.

Enter the bridge and head forward. The bridge is heavily damaged in order to get to the other side you'll be forced to use stairs and destroy various barricades. You'll also encounter monsters (all of them are already familiar to you) and find a new waypoint.

Demonic Ballistae destroyed (3)

Trebuchet destroyed (1)

After you've crossed the Bridge of Korsikk you'll enter a new location named Fields of Slaughter. This is a large area that's heavily occupied by various types of demons. Your objective is to destroy three ballistae and one trebuchet. The ballistae are marked on your map and they're very distinctive, so you shouldn't have problems locating them. They're also poorly built so a few hits should be enough to destroy each one of them.

Don't forget to monitor your surroundings while searching for the war machines, because this entire location is swarming with demons. It's best to move slow in order to remain safe.

The trebuchet is an enormous structure and in order to destroy it you must go to the middle of it and start attacking its weak point. Once you've successfully destroyed all war machines you're going to be rewarded with a new vision of Azmodan.

Find Rakkis Crossing

Continue exploring the Fields of Slaughter to locate a large passageway leading to the next location.

Talk to Tyrael

Tyrael should be waiting for you here. Talk to him in order for him to join you. This quest will soon end and you'll witness yet another vision of Azmodan.
