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 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, Skeleton Archers, Skeleton 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.
