Diablo 3 Walkthrough Part 6: The Legacy of Cain

After using the Old Ruins Waypoint to travel to New Tristram, speak with Captain Rumford. He is no longer standing outside the gate, but instead you should find him just north of the New Tristram waypoint. The captain thanks you for your help, but asks if you could talk some sense into Leah. She won't give up on the idea of rescuing her uncle. You tell Rumford that you will help her find him. This COMPLETES the first main quest, the Fallen Star.

You can ask Rumford to tell you about himself. He says that hie volunteered to help because it seemed the right thing to do, but he is no leader of men. You were born to figt monsters like the risen dead. But Rumford is just a farmer.

Talk to Leah, who is standing just near Captain Rumford. You suggest searching for her uncle. She tells you that you will need to open the cathedral first. The guards locked it up before they were ambushed. Rumford told her that they fought their way back to Adria's hut. The key must still be there. You receive the next main story quest:



The Legacy of Cain
Objective: Use the New Tristram Waypoint to go to the Old Ruins.

Your quest journal has an added entry:
"Leah prays that her uncle, Deckard Cain, still lives despite being lost in the destruction of the cathedral. The spirits do not speak of him within Mbwiru Eikura, and though that does not mean he lives, it gives me hope".
Use the New Tristram Waypoint to go to the Old Ruins with Leah

Before you leave town, sell any excess items in your inventory and buy some health potions. You should always buy, sell, and replenish your supplies when you are visiting town, in between objectives. Also if you have rare items, you should equip them. Blue items are magical in nature and more powerful then common items. Right click on an item in your inventory to equip it.

Leah is now following you. Go back to the Waypoint, and this time click on The Old Ruins. Leah opens the gate.

The quest log updates:
Find Adria's Hut by following the old Tristram Road northeast of the old ruins.

"I know better than most the power of the dead. It is a testament to the forces contained within the fallen star that so many of the dead could be returned to life. Even with what I know, I must be cautious."

Start heading northeast, past the gate, making sure Leah is following you.
