==Shadows in the Desert Walkthrough==
[[File:Hidden footprints.jpg|thumb|right|150px250px|Hidden Footprints!]]Go After getting the quest from [[Leah]] head to [[Caldeum Bazaar]] and speak with [[Asheara]]. She will instruct you to go to the [[Khasim Outpost]] which you can reach by leaving the city through the north east gate and down the [[Sundered Canyon]].
In the short canyon you'll encounter [[Lacuni Huntress]]es and [[Sand Wasp]]s and with their fireball and stinger missile attacks respectively they can overpower you fairly quickly, don't underestimate the quantity of simultaneous projectiles. At the end of the canyon, the enchantress will dispel the illusion of boulders blocking your path created by the [[Cultist]]sof boulders blocking your path.
[[File:Hidden conclave ritual.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Disrupt the rituals]]After speaking with the [[Iron Wolves]] continue through the [[Sundered Canyon]] and into the [[Howling Plateau]]. The [[Enchantress]] will keep referring to hidden footsteps; follow the these footsteps to locate the two dungeons ([[Secret Altar]] and [[Hidden Conclave]]) to disrupt the rituals taking place there. These rituals are what prevents you from crossing the [[Black Canyon Bridge]] to [[AlcarusAlcarnus]].
Both dungeons are similar scenarios with two or three [[Pain Monger]]s immediately challenging you and further in a group of [[Cultist]]s performing a ritual on a poor [[Prisoner]]. These fights will be easy. Check the floor of the [[Secret Altar]] for [[Cain's Lost Satchel]] which will contain some lorein a satchel.
If you can disrupt both rituals within four minutes you will earn the [[achievement]] [[Hiding in Plain Sight]]. Although there is no in game clock you have four minutes '''from the time you accept''' the quest form [[Leah]] in the [[Hidden Camp]] to find and disrupt both of the rituals.
Possible locations of the [[Hidden Conclave]] and [[Secret Altar]] are indicated on the [[Howling Plateau map]].
Once they're disrupted head north to the [[Black Canyon Bridge]] and speak again with the [[Enchantress]] and then it's on to [[The Road to Alcarnus]].
