Quest Information

Reign of the Black King Walkthrough

Use the Waypoint in town to head down to the Cathedral Garden and straight into Leoric's Passage. Once there go through the Ornate Door to the level 2 of the Cathedral. You'll meet Tomb Guardians, Skeletons and Unburied in this level. Nothing you haven't come across before.


On level 3 you'll immediately run into a pack of Dark Cultists performing a ritual on some poor mug who seems powerless to resist. The cultists will raise Necromantic Minions but both are easy to get rid of. Talk to the now freed Warrior. He'll ask you to help him find his gear, which is pretty close by hidden in a chest.


Once you find the chest and he dresses he reveals himself at Kormac the Templar. He will follow you now to find Jondar. Have a look around the local area as the Waypoint will be close by, very often it's down a little cul-de-sac on your left as you pass by the blue crater. Once you have found Jondar the Templar will offer his services to you.


If you accept him he'll have one skill slot available which you can now set and also probably upgrade his weapon and shield with something better that has bound to drop by now.


The stairs down to level 4 are very close by. Head down. You'll encounter Skeletons, Skeletal Archers, Skeletal Shieldbearers, Harvesters, Carrion Bats and Unburied.


Somewhere on level 4 you will find the entrance down to The Royal Crypts. Incidentally, you will see lots of jars of ashes down here and there is an achievement for destroying theses. Destroy 1,000 for the Jars of Destruction achievement.


If you can tear yourself away from smashing jars, make your way to Leoric's glowing sword and activate it to play the ghostly scene of Lachdanan slaying King Leoric. Make your way to the room with the four pillars where Leoric will appear, affronted that you have dared to bring the warmth of life into his tomb he sets hordes of Skeletons onto you. These are generated by the pillar so destroy them as quickly as possible.


Behind four gates around the area are Skeletal Archers so watch for them as they'll constantly pick at you while you're dealing with the skeletons.


Another achievement here and it's quite a tough one. Destroyer of Destiny asks you to destroy the fall pillars simultaneously.
