==The Fallen Star Walkthrough==
 
'''The Fallen Star''' is, unsurprisingly, a basic tutorial-style introduction into the game where the player is acclimated to the controls, and also to the questing system, including interacting with NPCs.
This quest leads the player around [[New Tristram]], helping out Captain Rumford and [[Leah]].
 
And killing some [[Zombie]]s, too.
 
* This quest is initiated by walking towards New Tristram (as it is the only direction a player can travel) and speaking with Captain Rumford, who will have a yellow [[quest]] exclamation point over his head.
 
 
===Helping the Guards===

[[Image:FallenStarRumfordZombies.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Rumford fighting.]]
* '''Objective:''' Help the guards repel the dead
 
 
The player need only engage a small handful of zombies, and then wait for a few more to spawn once the original wave is dead. The player will be (slightly) aided by the captain and the Tristram guard. Once the task is complete, the player will speak to the captain, explaining that they are looking for the fire from the sky, the fallen star. Rumford will say:
 
::''I've never seen anyone fight like that before! Guards, open the gates! You'll find Leah at the [[Slaughtered Calf Inn]].''
 
The quest log will automatically update.
 
 
===Slaughtered Calf Inn: Speak to Leah===
 
* '''Objective:''' Travel to the Slaughtered Calf Inn and speak with Leah
There [[Image:FallenStarRumfordZombies.jpg|left|thumb|175px|Rumford fighting.]]The Fallen Star quest begins with [[Captain Rumford]] who is, again, only one direction battling zombies outside the gates to go in this early in the game. As well, on the [[minimapTristram]], . Once the player quest is accepted more zombies will notice appear. Once they are dead the quest is highlighted with a specific icon, making captain orders the Inn very hard guard to missopen the gates so you may enter [[Tristram]].The player must enter the inn and speak with Leah, where the player character expresses gratitude that she There is amongst the livinga [[Checkpoint]] here. She responds:
::''I did [survive]. But it blasted my uncle, [[Deckard Cain]], into the depths of the old [[Cathedral]]. I tried to search for him, but the dead were already rising.''
::Find [[The Slaughtered Calf Inn]] and [[Leah]] inside. As you are talking to her more zombies in the Inn will spring to 'life'I came , kill them. Speak with her again and she'll direct you back here to rally the militia, but--''[[Captain Rumford]].
And when her dialog is complete, the patrons of the inn will begin to twist and writhe, morphing into zombies and attacking the player character. There are very few to dispatch and do not pose any particular threat. Leah voices concern:
::''The dead Return south down the path back to Captain Rumford, right past the indefatigable [[Mr. Meat Wagon]]. A barricade near the captain will overwhelm us all unless something is donebe broken down by some [[Risen]] who have been spawned by a [[Wretched Mother]].''
The player will then earn their first quest reward.
* Note: [[Bron the BarkeepFile:Mini map marker.jpg|right|thumb|125px|Rumford fighting.]]The Wretched Mother is capable of spawning more zombies from her puddle of continuous vomit, but neither the mother nor her children are very dangerous. Killing her will net the player a [[NPCWretched_Mother_(lore)|bestiary entry]] behind the counter in the inn, is one of and an update to the first [[vendor]]s a player will encounter. While it's unlikely a new player will have a burning need to sell their junk items, it is available if wantedquest.
===Return Kill them for the captain and he'll ask you to Rumford===carry on along the path to [[The Old Ruins]] to more zombies and their Queen. You'll get another Checkpoint as the path changes into the [[Old Tristram Road]]. You'll encounter [[Walking Corpse]]s and more Risen here. None should present any problems.
* '''Objective:''' Talk to Captain Rumford
[[Image:WretchedQueen.jpg|left|thumb|175px|Appropriately-named Wretched Queen.]]When you get to the more open area of the Tristram Road you should see red markers on the mini map when you are close by the [[Wretched Mother]]. You need to find three of these. Once they're found and killed carry on along the road to [[The Old Ruins]] and seek out the [[Wretched Queen]]. You'll get another checkpoint just as you enter the Ruins. The Ruins has [[Quill Fiend]], [[Risen]], [[Walking Corpse]]s and of course the Queen. Much like the Wretched Mothers, she is able to vomit up zombies, the difference being that she has more hitpoints and is able to summon the zombies a bit faster than the mothers can.
The player must then return south down the path back to Captain Rumford, right past the indefatigable [[Mr. Meat Wagon]].
While Take the player has proven a much more adept undead slayer than the good captain, [[Waypoint]] back to Tristram and speak with Captain Rumford is still not impressed, telling the player:again. Another Checkpoint and your quest reward.
::''I admire your courage, but [[Captain Daltyn]] and the militia were slaughtered by those things. Only I survived.''
Speaking to [[Leah]] will activate [[The Legacy of Cain]] quest log will then automatically update to say "Slay a Wretched Mother", who just so happens to have burst through the barricade that was previously stopping the player from advancing outside of tristram.

* '''Objective:''' Slay the Wretched Queen in the Old Ruins
 
The game, at this point, begins to open up a bit more, although still linear.
Players who have experience in Diablo II will notice that the areas outside of New Tristram are clearly marked with trails, so they can always tell where to go next. The amount of exploration a player executes is solely their discretion, but there are a few possible random areas, including a cave under a well, numerous cellars, and more.
 
[[Image:FallenStarWretchedMotherMinimap.jpg|left|frame|Wretched Mothers appearing as red dots on minimap.]]
However, the objective is simply to slay the Wretched Queen, which requires the player leaving New Tristram and traversing the [[Old Tristram Road]]. Wretched Mothers, for the bonus objective, can be found along the way to the Old Ruins if the player moves slightly off the path.
Inside the ruins are some zombies and the first [[Waypoint]] of the game (unlike in Diablo II, the waypoint does not have to be clicked on to be activated, but rather walked over or near). In this instance, however, the Wretched Queen must be dispatched before the waypoint activates. She is conveniently placed a few yards away from the waypoint.
 
[[Image:WretchedQueen.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Appropriately-named Wretched Queen.]]
Much like the Wretched Mothers, she is able to vomit up zombies, the difference being that she has more hitpoints and is able to summon the zombies a bit faster than the mothers can.
 
Once she's dead, the quest will be updated to return to New Tristram via the newly-activated waypoint to speak to Captain Rumford.
 
 
===Back to Town===
 
Rumford is very close to the waypoint in New Tristram, and the player can hand in the previous quest steps. Rumford quickly dismisses the hard, dangerous work of the hero before delving into asking for another favor:
 
::''Thank you for your help. But could you talk some sense into Leah? She won't give up on the idea of rescuing her uncle.''
 
The last bit of dialogue signifies the end of the quest, and the player is granted a reward of [[gold]] and [[experience]] points. The player must speak with [[Leah]] to proceed onwards.
 
 
* Next quest: [[The Legacy of Cain]]
