Sword of the Stranger Diablo III Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Talk to Cain again to start this new quest.
Go to the Fields of Misery
Stranger will remain with Deckard and Leah in the city and meanwhile you will be tasked with a job of going to the Fields of Misery. Use a waypoint located in the middle of the town's square and travel to the Cemetery of the Forsaken.
Once you've arrived at the cemetery travel north-west and walk through an opened gate. You must cross the bridge and it shouldn't take long until you've reached the Fields of Misery.
Search for the Khazra Den in the Fields of Misery
This is the biggest location you will have a chance to visit in Act I and you shouldn't be surprised to hear that you will encounter new types of enemies here. Some of the most important ones are: Moon Clan Warriors, Wood Wraiths (they leave poisonous remains after they're defeated), Burrowing Leapers (they emerge from the ground and they're extremely fast), Plague Carrier (they are breeded by Plague Nests and they can fly) and Savage Beasts (they're very large and they like to charge at the main character). There's also a new waypoint in this area, as well as several dungeons. I guess I don't have to add that you should spend a lot of time here to cover as much area as possible.
Your main objective is to locate the Khazra Den and it can be achieved by exploring the Fields of Misery thoroughly. Enter the den with a plan of finding the first part of the sword.
Find the Glowing Sword Shard in the Khazra Den
The den isn't a large location and therefore it shouldn't take long for you to encounter a group of Enraged Zealots. Killing them will result in Mahda's arrival and after a short conversation she will summon a dozen more Enraged Zealots. Eliminate all hostile creatures.
Take the Glowing Sword Shard (1)
Maghda will disappear and you can collect the first part of the sword.
Take the sword piece back to Cain
Use the town portal spell to return to New Tristram. Speak with Deckard Cain here to officially end this quest.
