Watch Tower

The Watch Tower is a dungeon that can spawn on the west side of the Southern Highlands. It'll appear very familiar as it's the same structure and look as Tristram Cathedral.

There is no quest action in here but there is a chance of an event spawning and an achievement to partially earn.

If you are seeking the event it may take you some time as the Watch Tower does not always spawn and when it does not always with Vendel the Armorsmith (the event trigger) in it.

[e]

1. Take quest No. 8 Trailing the Coven > Khazra Barricade and take the waypoint to Highlands Crossing.
2. Make your way directly across the Southern Highlands.
3. If the Watch Tower has spawned it's almost directly opposite this entrance into the Southern Highlands so try to keep going dead straight. See it on the Southern Highlands map marked (A).
4. Head to the very west of the Southern Highlands.

Special Notes:

• If you see Karyna's Lost Wagon approach it as you'll get a Checkpoint as you do so which means if you need to leave and 'Resume Game' you'll resume here and it'll save a little time.
• Although the Watch Tower may spawn it does not mean that Vendel the Armorsmith and his Scabbard event will.
