Alright, so you're looking to take on the Hope's Light Stronghold in Diablo IV? It's a bit of a tricky one, but totally doable. We'll get you through it step-by-step.
Walkthrough
- 1Finding the Stronghold: First off, if you haven't already, fast travel to Braestaig. From there, just head north-northwest. You'll find it at the very top of the Northshore Area. Keep in mind it's a Level 25 Stronghold, but it'll scale up with you, so don't be surprised if things get a little tougher later on.
- 2Reaching the Lighthouse (The Broken Bridge): When you get to the stronghold, you'll see the bridge is out. No worries! Just jump across the gap to your left and follow the path. You'll find a shipwreck with a winch. Interact with it, and get ready for a fight – you'll have to fend off waves of enemies for about 40 seconds. Spamming your AoE skills, like Blood Surge for Necromancer or Rain of Arrows for Rogue, on the smaller mobs is a good move. Then, switch to your basic skills for the tougher ones, like the First Mate.
- 3The Second Wrinch and More Enemies: After you survive that first wave, climb back across to the center of the area. You'll need to jump another gap and head northeast. You'll find another shipwreck with a winch, but this one's broken. Time for a little scavenger hunt! Climb back down and hop across the island to the south. You'll find a replacement winch lying on the floor to the far right. Grab it, return to the shipwreck, and prepare for another wave of enemies.
- 4Facing Tidewitch Ne'Gana: Once you've dealt with that second wave, jump across the gap again and head up the stairs. This is where you'll face the main boss: Tidewitch Ne'Gana. Her attacks aren't super deadly on their own, but the arena is pretty big, and it's easy to get caught by multiple things at once. Try to lure her away from the puddles that circle the arena. Use your Basic and Ultimate Skills to chip away at her health. She'll also summon adds during the fight, so keep those AoE skills handy to clear them out quickly.
Tidewitch Ne'Gana's Attacks:
- Wave: She'll send out a wave in the direction she's facing. It doesn't do a ton of damage, but it can knock you back into those slowing puddles.
- Swing: She does a regular swinging attack. If you're keeping your distance or attacking from behind, this is pretty easy to avoid.
- Puddle: These puddles are all over the edges of the arena. They spawn adds and slow you down if you stand in them. As she gets weaker, these puddles will start to explode, so be ready to pop a potion if you get caught in one.
- Ignite Hope's Light: After you defeat the boss, you'll need to ignite the beacon to fully cleanse the stronghold.

Tips
- When fighting the waves of enemies, focus on clearing the smaller ones quickly with AoE so they don't overwhelm you.
- For Tidewitch Ne'Gana, prioritize dodging her attacks and managing the adds she summons. Don't get greedy with your damage.
- Be mindful of the puddles! They're a hazard for both movement and damage, especially when they start exploding.
