==The Fallen Star Walkthrough==
[[Image:FallenStarRumfordZombies.jpg|left|thumb|175px|Rumford fighting.]]The Fallen Star quest begins with [[Captain Rumford]] who is battling zombies outside the gates to [[New Tristram]]. Once the quest is accepted more zombies will appear. After they are dead the captain orders the guard to open the gates so you may enter [[New Tristram]].
Return to the town gates, right past the indefatigable [[Mr. Meat Wagon]]. A barricade near the captain will be broken down by some [[Risen]] who have been spawned by a [[Wretched Mother]].
[[File:Mini map marker.jpg|right|thumb|125px|Finding Mother]]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 [[Wretched_Mother_(lore)|bestiary entry]], and an update to the quest.
Kill them for the captain and he'll ask you to carry on along the path to [[The Old Ruins]] to more zombies and their Queen. You'll encounter [[Walking Corpse]]s and more Risen here. None should present any problems.
[[Image:WretchedQueen.jpg|left|thumb|175px|Appropriately-named Wretched Queen.]]When you get to the more open area of the [[Old 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]]. The Ruins have [[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.
Take the [[Waypoint]] back to New Tristram and speak with Captain Rumford again.
Speaking to [[Leah]] will activate [[The Legacy of Cain]] quest.
