Checkpoint Location

Checkpoints are respawn points. Players who die appear back at the last checkpoint they reached.

A Checkpoint occurs just as you get in beyond the gates of the Ruins on The Legacy of Cain quest, part of which asks you to assist Leah in locating Adria's Hut.

Waypoint Location

Waypoints are special plates on the ground that form a network of jump points allowing players to instantly teleport between.

There is a Waypoint just in front of the gate onto the Old Tristram Road situated at the east of the ruins.
