Tips
  • Grotesques explode when killed, so avoid their splash damage.
  • Headcleaver has low health and can be defeated swiftly with resource-spending abilities.
  • Clearing the Cellar of the Damned quickly may award an achievement with a banner reward.
  • Mira Eamon is a unique enemy but can be defeated with your primary attack.
  • The Cemetery of the Forsaken is a large outdoor area; the general direction to the cemetery is usually straight up.
  • The Chancellor's Altar can be in any of the three dungeons in the Cemetery of the Forsaken area; look for a second lower level to identify the correct one.
  • Tiny imps in the Defiled Crypt are fast and can overwhelm you.
  • Manglemaw is a unique enemy that is harder than previous encounters; use potions only when low on health, as using one initiates a 30-second cooldown before another can be used.
  • Rescue Deckard Cain quest: 3300 XP.
  • A Shattered Crown quest (Cellar of the Damned portion): 75 Gold, 900 XP.
