Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatredbrings you to Nahantu in search of Neyrelle, who is carrying a Worldstone with the imprisoned Prime Evil, Mephisto. Following Neyrelle’s path of corruption, you will travel through the jungles and plateaus of Nahantu to find the girl and stop Mephisto.
As with the base game campaign, completing Vessel of Hatred is only the beginning of your time in Diablo 4. There are tons of other activities to complete as you build up your character, including the Deeds of a Champion quest. Below, we’ll take a look at how to complete every step of this quest.
How To Complete Deeds Of A Champion
Deeds of a Champion beginsimmediately after finishing the final questin the Vessel of Hatred campaign. Speak toKalien outside of Lorath’s house, who will tell you to report to Ormus inKurast Bazaarfor further instructions.
Go to Kurast Bazaar and speak to Ormus. He will give you a list of objectives to complete in different sets. Here’s an overview of everything you’ll need to accomplish; further details on each activity can be found below.
As you complete each step, you’ll be rewarded with large amounts of experience, helping you get a headstart on your Paragon levels. Additionally, upon completing the final step, you’ll obtain a set of Legendary armor with theBaneful Intent appearance, which unlocks in the Wardrobe.
Every Deeds Of A Champion Objective
Here’s how to complete every step of the quest, including details on each activity you’ll be tasked with undertaking.
Mercenary Quests
Upon reaching the Den for the first time in the Vessel of Hatred campaign, you may take on three quests to unlock each of the Mercenaries. To complete this part of Deeds of a Champion, you’ll need to complete all three Mercenary quests.
Kichuk Stronghold
Next, you’ll need to clear out theKichuk Strongholdinnortheast Nahantuby dealing with the rising Lacuni populations in the area. To start, destroy the cages that are holding Villagers, then speak to the survivors. Defend them from waves of Lacuni, then head into the cave and destroy all of the pillars to collapse the cave.
After you make it out of the collapsing cave, find the villagers surrounded by Lacuni to the east a short distance. Then, slayKirma, Blood Bargainerwhen it appears. This boss has two phases, but shouldn’t pose too much of a threat. After you defeat Kirma, rekindle the Wanderer’s statue to complete the Stronghold.
Tenets Of Depravity Questline
The next part of the second step of Deeds of a Champion is tocomplete all four quests in the Tenets of Depravity questline. you may start this questline in either Kurast Docks or Kurast Bazaar by speaking to either of the Guards there. Then, follow through each quest until you’re done.
Nahantu Dungeons
To finish off the second step of this quest, you’ll need to completeany three Dungeons in Nahantu. These arenot counted retroactively, so even if you’ve done three before starting Deeds of a Champion, you’ll need to do three more.
Luckily, Dungeons in Nahantu work a little differently than ones elsewhere. Rather than completing objectives within the Dungeon, all you have to do ismake it to the end and kill the boss. There are optional objectives you can complete along the way if you want more loot, but you’re only responsible for beating the final boss.
Kurast Undercity
Next, you’ll need to firstunlock the Kurast Undercity, then slay theTerror of Five Hillsinside the Undercity. To unlock this game mode, you’ll need to complete two quests:The Kurast UndercityandUndercity: Wail of the Forgotten, which can be started inKurast Bazaar.
Complete these two quests, then start an Undercity run. Inside, you’ll soon find the Terror of Five Hills. Kill this boss, then either complete the run or leave the Undercity to continue to the next step.
Tree Of Whispers
For this step, all you need to do isgather 10 Grim Favorsby completingTree of Whispers objectives, then claim your reward from the Tree. You should be familiar with this activity by now, as it was introduced much earlier in the base Diablo 4 campaign.
Once you’ve claimed your reward from the Tree of Whispers, head back to Ormus for the next step.
Helltide
To complete this step, you’ll need to do various activities duringHelltide events. These comeevery hour in a random region, and killing monsters within the Helltide zone will reward you withAberrant Cinders, which can be used to openTortured Gifts. Open five of these and slay aBlood Maidento complete this step.
Blood Maidens can be summoned at an altar usingthree Baneful Hearts.
Pit Of The Artificer
Finally, to finish off Deeds of a Champion, you will need tocomplete Tier 20 of the Pit of the Artificer. This endgame activity, located in Cerrigar, requires you to progress through timed stages of increasing difficulty,similar to Greater Rifts in Diablo 3.
To complete this step, you will need to clear Tier 20 of the Pit, which isequivalent in difficulty to Torment 1. If you can consistently play at Torment 1, this should be no problem. Otherwise, you’ll need to work on your equipment and Paragon levels to get strong enough.
Either way, once you’ve cleared Tier 20,return to Ormus to complete Deeds of a Champion.
