[[ImageFile:LegacyCainLeahPartyPortraitAdrias hut.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Outside [[Adria's Hut]]]]This quest picks up directly after [[The Fallen Star]] and is initiated by [[Leah]], who has tasked the hero with finding her uncle, [[Deckard Cain]], who is startingly still alive despite the fact that he was already senile before dirt had the chance to celebrate its first birthday.  [[File:Frozen.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Grenade radius]]Take the [[Waypoint]] in [[Tristram]] back to [[The Old Ruins]]. Leah will open the gate for you and follow you through it down the [[Old Tristram Road]]. You'll encounter [[Zombies]] and [[Walking Corpse]]s. You'll come to [[Adria's Hut]] and get a Checkpoint here. Inside her hut is a [[Hidden Cellar]], follow Leah down the hatch. Checkpoint.  As you approach a cauldron sitting over a burning fire a unique undead called [[Captain Daltyn]] will appear. He's accompanied by three [[Zombies]] which do not present a problem.  The Captain's melee attack is nothing to fear but he has a [[Frozen]] attack too. He lays down multiple grenades that explode over a certain radius inflicting damage and freezing players within it. Kill the zombies first and move out of range of the Captain's grenades' explosion radius so you are not frozen and he too should be easy enough to kill.
Once the captain is dead [[Leah]] will give you the key and [[Adria's Journal]].
As you leave the cellar you'll be set upon by more [[Zombie]]s. Easy prey. Make your way back up [[Old Tristram Road]] and into the [[Cathedral]]. You'll get a checkpoint just as you enter the level and also just before you go down to [[Leoric's Passage]].
The [[Cathedral]] is where the game steps up a gear and begins to get a little more challenging. Here you'll face,[[Carrion Bat]], [[Grotesque]], [[Ravenous Dead]] [[Risen]] and [[Walking Corpse]]s and they'll attack in groups of multiple types and in numbers not yet encountered.
===Old Tristram===
It's worth exploring all this level even if you come across the entrance to [[Leoric's Passage]] early because it's this level that the [[Black Mushroom]]s can be located in. They are a reagent for the [[Staff of Herding]] which grants you access to [[Whimsyshire]].
* '''Objective:''' Go to the Old Tristram Gate
When you make your way down to [[Leoric's Passage]] you'll find [[Deckard Cain]] fighting some skeletons. A short in-game sequence will play which you can ESC out of it. Here you will battle [[Headcleaver]] and his [[Royal Henchmen]]. There are no special attacks here but he does have a nasty kick in addition to his melee attack. You get a checkpoint once he's dead.
The player needs to return to the [[Old Ruins]] for this leg of the quest, and the nearby [[waypoint]] will do just the trick. Leah will follow the player through the waypoint and also act as a [[follower]] for a brief time, albeit not a very powerful one, and she only has a basic arrow attack.
In front of the waypoint, conveniently, is the Speak with [[Deckard Cain]] now and follow him back to [[Old Tristram]] gate that Leah needed to get to. Leah takes care of the lock, and where the quest updates to "Find ends with [[AdriaLeah]]'s Hut", which sparks some conversation from Leah:and another checkpoint reached.
::''Adria was my mother, but I don't know much about her. She died when I was very young. I was raised by Uncle Deckard.''
[[Image:LegacyCainHiddenCellar.jpg|left|frame|The Hidden Cellar.]]
In response to the player character's question about her father:
::''I'm told he was a great warrior who was lost when Tristram fell Move on to the [[demonsA Shattered Crown]]quest.''
If the player follows the path in Old Tristram, then they are likely to reach [[Adria's Hut]] before Leah can finish speaking. Leah then mentions, upon entering the hut, that she sees something, and a trap door in the floor of the hut becomes visible.
The player is then prompted to enter, and the quest updates to "Search Adria's cellar". Walking towards a large cauldron ==Objectives in the center of the cellar, Leah comments on how people said her mother was a witch, and how she didn't believe it, before being promptly cut off by the rude appearance by [[Captain Daltyn]], a zombie [[superunique]] who rises from the ground with a small pack of minions.Brief==
