The Legacy of Cain Diablo III Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

This quest can be obtained by talking to Leah. She's standing in the main square of New Tristram.

Use the New Tristram waypoint to go to the Old Ruins

Click on the waypoint and travel to the Old Ruins.

Go to the Old Tristram gate

Once you've used the waypoint to travel to the old Tristram you must follow Leah to the gate. The archer will open the gate, allowing you to move on.

Find Adria's Hut

This task begins on the Old Tristram Road. Follow the narrow path and you'll eventually locate Adria's Hut.

Search Adria's Hut

Enter the hut. You and Leah will locate an entrance to a Hidden Cellar.

Enter the Hidden Cellar in Adria's Hut

Leah should automatically enter the cellar and you must follow her.

Explore the Hidden Cellar

The cellar isn't too big and therefore you'll soon discover that Adria was a witch.

Kill Captain Daltyn and the Risen

An ex-guard captain will soon appear in the central part of the cellar. He will be accompanied by his servants and they must all die. Captain Daltyn isn't a demanding opponent. He's slow and even though he's resistant his attacks don't inflict a lot of damage. It's recommended to get rid of his servants before attacking him.

Talk to Leah in the Hidden Cellar

After you've defeated the captain you'll have to talk to Leah. She will leave you here and you'll continue the journey alone.

Go to the Cathedral

Exit the Hidden Cellar and expect to be attacked by a group of Risen. The only way to reach the cathedral is to go right. You'll want to go back to the Old Tristram Road.

Keep following the narrow path, killing more Risen along the way. It shouldn't take long for you to reach the Cathedral. Open the door and enter the building.

Enter Cathedral Level 1

There are some monsters in the corridor and you must kill them. Find a crater and descend, heading towards Cathedral Level 1.

Search for signs of Deckard Cain in the Cathedral

You'll begin on the first level, however Deckard Cain isn't here. This means that you must locate a passageway to the next area.

The location you've entered is larger and it has a lot of corridors. You'll encounter new types of monsters here. Ravenous Dead are slow and they shouldn't be considered a major threat unless they operate as a group. Watch out for Grotesques, because they explode when they die and they leave behind crawling monsters called Corpse Worms. The cathedral is also a home to Carrion Bats and they inflict lightning damage. Prevent them from cornering you, because they may become a huge threat even to a barbarian.

Continue exploring the cathedral until you find an exit leading to Leoric's Passage.

Kill the skeletons attacking Deckard Cain

You'll witness a short cut-scene and it'll inform you that Deckard Cain is in danger. Descend the stairs and start defending Cain. There's a boss among the skeletons and it's named Headcleaver. Thankfully this battle shouldn't be too difficult, because the boss will die quickly and also the injuries it inflicts aren't serious.

Talk to Deckard Cain in Leoric's Passage

Keep fighting until it's safe and then talk to Cain.

Follow Deckard Cain

Deckard will open a passageway leading topside and you must follow him to find your way to the Cathedral Garden.

Talk to Leah in New Tristram

There's a waypoint near the entrance you've used to exit the cathedral. Use it to travel to New Tristram.

Talk to Leah in New Tristram

Talk to Leah to finish this quest.
