The Light of Hope Diablo III Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Find Itherael

This new mission will begin automatically after ending the previous one. Head forward and you'll encounter Itherael near a new waypoint.

Talk to Itherael

Talk to the archangel to find out about the next step of your journey.

Find the Library of Fate in the Gardens of Hope

A passageway can be found behind the archangel and you must use it to travel to Gardens of Hope 1st Tier. Expect to encounter hordes of demons along the way, however you can count on the help of angels present in the area. Watch out for Armored Destroyed, because they drop from the skies like projectiles. Bile Crawlers are fast, but they're not dangerous and they can attack only in close combat. Oppressor use not only their swords, but they also like to shout and perform chargers. Subjugators tend to throw exploding objects at you. Vile Temptresses are a stronger versions of Succubuses encountered in the previous acts. As for the gardens, you will probably find corrupt growths blocking your way and you'll be allowed to destroy it later in the game.

Enter the Library of Fate

The gardens also contain a new waypoint and obviously you must activate it. Continue exploring the area until you've found an entrance to the Library of Fate. Head inside.

Kill Rakanoth

Another one of Diablo's servants will be waiting for you here. Rakanoth has a lot of life points, however the arena where you're fighting is large, so you'll have plenty of space to move around. Watch out for the boss though, because he can move very fast and therefore can immediately approach you to perform an attack. Rakanoth uses swords in melee combat and if you move away he fires projectiles at you which are easy to avoid. He also likes to summon Soul Devourers for help.

Destroy Auriel's prison in the Library of Fate

Once you've dealt with Rakanoth free Auriel from the prison by destroying it. Itherael should appear here.

Talk to Auriel in the Library of Fate

Talk to Auriel to find out about your next objective.

Return to Gardens of Hope 1st Tier

The archangel's will open a portal, allowing you to return to the Gardens of Hope 1st Tier.

Find and destroy the Corrupt Growths to reveal the hidden Hell Rift portal in the Gardens of Hope 1st Tier

You may begin destroying the Corrupt Growths. Each growth has a small number of energy points, however once it's destroyed you'll have to defeat a small group of Bile Crawlers.

Explore the entire first gear, destroying all Corrupt Growths you encounter. Expect more demons to try and interrupt that process.

Destroying one of the Corrupt Growths will result in a portal appearing instead of it. Use it to travel to the Hell Rift.

Destroy the Rift Occulus in the Hell Rift

We're back in hell again. This isn't a large location, however it's heavily occupied by various types of demons. Warping Horrors are a stronger versions of demons you've encountered during your previous trip to hell. Mounted Armaddons have a lot of life points and they can turn into Subjugators. Occulus will be waiting for you at the end of this location and expect that the boss will be heavily defended.

Once you've defeated all the monsters destroy a Rift Occulus. Auriel will arrive here to give you the details of your next assignment.

Use Auriel's portal to leave the Hell Rift

Notice that Auriel has opened a portal for you. Step through the portal to return to Gardens of Hope 1st Tier.

Enter the Gardens of Hope 2nd Tier

Use your personal map to find a rather distinctive area with yet another portal. Use this portal to be transported to Gardens of Hope 2ndt Tier.

Find and destroy the Corrupt Growths to reveal the hidden Hell Rift portal in the Gardens of Hope 2nd Tier

There are several new Corrupt Growths here for you to destroy, however you'll also be dealing with lots of demons on this tier. Some of them are: Oppressors, Corrupted Angels (they like to charge at the main character), Spine Lashers, Darksky Fire Demons and Morlu Invaders. Just as before, you can count on the angels to assist you in some of the battles. You should also be on a look out for a new waypoint.

Start destroying the Corrupt Growths and continue this process until one of the growths reveals a portal leading to the Hell Rift.

Destroy the Rift Occulus in the Hell Rift

Start exploring the hell again. This visit is similar to the previous one, so you'll be exploring a rather small location and you'll be fighting with the creatures you already know.

Keep pushing forward until you've located a boss of this location. Kill the creature and then destroy the second Rift Occulus.

Use Auriel's portal to leave the Hell Rift

Just as before, Auriel will arrive here as soon as you've destroyed the Rift Occulus. She'll tell you what to do next and she'll also open a portal which you must use.

Find the portal to the Crystal Colonnade

Notice that you've returned to the Gardens of Hope 2nd Tier and your main objective is to locate another portal.

Talk to Tyrael

Once you've located the portal mentioned in this quest objective you should encounter Tyrael. Talk to him and notice that he's joined your team.

Enter the Crystal Colonnade

Use the portal which will open next to Tyrael. Doing that will allow you to end this quest.
