Last update: 11 May 2016

This act begins in the Hidden Camp - Shadows in the Desert - Quests - Diablo III Game Guide

This act begins in the Hidden Camp. Talk to the blacksmith and to all other interactive characters found in the camp. The first quest can be unlocked by talking to Leah.

Go to the Caldeum Bazaar

There's a road near the blacksmith and you must choose it to reach your destination.

Talk to Asheara

Keep going until youve reached the Caldeum Bazaar - Shadows in the Desert - Quests - Diablo III Game Guide

Keep going until you've reached the Caldeum Bazaar. Talk to Asheara found in the first area of the bazaar.

Go through the Sundered Canyon

Before you leave the bazaar you should spend some time to explore this area and to meet the merchants - Shadows in the Desert - Quests - Diablo III Game Guide

Before you leave the bazaar you should spend some time to explore this area and to meet the merchants. It's also recommended to visit Searing Sands Inn. Once you're ready to move on with the quest proceed to the passageway marked on your map and start exploring the Sundered Canyon. You will encounter an Enchantress after a while and she'll be more than happy to join you. Follow the designated path together.

Since this is a new act and a new location you shouldnt be surprised when youll encounter entirely new types of enemies - Shadows in the Desert - Quests - Diablo III Game Guide

Since this is a new act and a new location you shouldn't be surprised when you'll encounter entirely new types of enemies. Sand Wasps can fly and they're extremely fast which makes them harder to kill. Watch out for the projectiles they shoot at you (mini-bees), because you can receive poison damage if you get hit. It's recommended that you don't fight groups of wasps at the same time. Another important enemy are Lacuni Huntresses. They perform surprise attacks by jumping down from higher platforms. They're not dangerous in direct combat, but they like to throw exploding potions at you. You should also watch out for large rocks while going through canyons, because coming in contact with the moving objects may cost you a lot of health.

Kill the ambushing cultists

Continue to follow a narrow path and eventually youll encounter a blocked passageway - Shadows in the Desert - Quests - Diablo III Game Guide

Continue to follow a narrow path and eventually you'll encounter a blocked passageway. Here's where you'll be surprised by a group of enemies you may already know - by Deranged Cultists and by Accursed Hellions. You shouldn't have any problems winning the battle.

Talk to the Enchantress in the Sundered Canyon

Talk to the Enchantress as soon as the battle has ended. She'll use one of her spells to unlock the passageway, allowing you both to move on.

Kill the Lacuni attacking the Iron Wolves

Keep heading forward until you encounter a group of soldiers being attacked by Lacuni Huntresses and by a Lacuni Warrior - Shadows in the Desert - Quests - Diablo III Game Guide

Keep heading forward until you encounter a group of soldiers being attacked by Lacuni Huntresses and by a Lacuni Warrior. Help the soldiers in defeating enemy units.

Talk to Iron Wolf Jarulf

Once you've won the battle initiate a conversation with the leader of this group -Jarulf Iron Wolf. He will thank you for your help and he'll also tell you what to do next.

Disrupt the Hidden Conclave ritual

Disrupt the Secret Altar ritual

Continue your journey through the Sundered Canyon and youll soon enter an area called Howling Plateau - Shadows in the Desert - Quests - Diablo III Game Guide

Continue your journey through the Sundered Canyon and you'll soon enter an area called Howling Plateau. Expect to be attacked by new types of monsters here. The Fallen and Fallen Overseers aren't a serious threat. Dune Threshers move under the sand surface and they attack by surprise when they're close to your character. Thankfully they aren't a serious problem, because they die after taking a few hits. The biggest threat is the same as in the canyon - it's posed by Sand Wasps and the poisonous projectiles they can fire at you.

Your objective is to locate entrances to two locations - to a Secret Altar and to a Hidden Conclave - Shadows in the Desert - Quests - Diablo III Game Guide

Your objective is to locate entrances to two locations - to a Secret Altar and to a Hidden Conclave. The easiest way to achieve this is by following the signs of the sand and to listen to hints provided by the Enchantress. The first signs can be located on the border between Sundered Canyon and Howling Plateau.

Once youve found the passageway to the Secret Altar enter the basement - Shadows in the Desert - Quests - Diablo III Game Guide

Once you've found the passageway to the Secret Altar enter the basement. You'll notice a group of Deranged Cultists performing a ritual and they man be accompanied by Pain Mongers. Interrupt the ritual by killing all hostile units and expect the cultists to summon at least a few Frenzied Hellions.

Once youve cleared the area around the altar return to the surface and start following the signs on the sand again to reach the Hidden Conclave - Shadows in the Desert - Quests - Diablo III Game Guide

Once you've cleared the area around the altar return to the surface and start following the signs on the sand again to reach the Hidden Conclave. This is also a small basement that's occupied by Deranged Cultists. Kill them all.

Go to the Black Canyon Bridge

Return to the surface for the second time and focus your efforts on locating a Black Canyon Bridge - Shadows in the Desert - Quests - Diablo III Game Guide

Return to the surface for the second time and focus your efforts on locating a Black Canyon Bridge. The best way to do that is to choose the road leading from the Sundered Canyon through the entire Howling Plateau.

Talk to the Enchantress

Talk to your companion after finding the bridge. She will remove the illusion from the bridge, allowing you to cross it. She will also ask you if you want her to continue the journey with you instead of your previous companions (Scoundrel or Templar). The decision is entirely up to you, you need to go back to the waypoint in the Hidden Camp if you decide not to use the Enchantress anymore, because that's where two previous companions will be waiting for you. Either way the quest will end.
