How to finish ‘The Way of the Three’ quest in Diablo 4

Step 1: Find the Empty Altar

The Way of the Three quest can be picked up slightly to the East of the Imperial Library in Caldeum in the Kehjistan region. We’ve marked the exact point above. You’ll find an Empty Altar there with an inscription reading “As you get closer to the altar, your teeth begin to ache. There is a distinct humming. It appears some things are missing from the three altars…”

Step 2: Solve the Riddles

In the room with the unknown altar will be three plaques surrounding it, each with a different riddle for you to solve:

• “Divine Dialon, god of determination, pass judgment upon the weak. May our souls be cleansed and resolve strengthened. Our hands are torn as we move soil and stone for you. Your servants Praise at the feet of your effigy to be bathed in eternal flame.”
• “Magnificent Mefis, beacon of love, hear your accursed servant. Cleanse our minds, so we might repel malevolent forces. Where friend turns against friend, we cower and Praise before your majesty.”
• “Blessed Bala, architect of all creation, our cursed feet dirty your earth. We walk in accordance to your teachings, so the right path may be found. We bathe in your lifeblood, deep within the crevices of the earth, and Praise your likeness.”

These all seem very cryptic, but all you actually need to do is find the statues that the riddles are referencing, and use the ‘Cheer’ emote in front of the statue to light them up with flames.

The answers to the riddles are as follows:

• Diablo
• Mephisto
• Baal

Step 3: Light the Statues

Once you know the answers to the riddles, you can find the statues that they refer to and use the “Cheer” emote in front of each one to light them up with flames. The statues are located near the Altar of Ruin, the Shrine of Terror, and outside Denshar (we’ve labelled them below) but, be careful as you could run into world bosses along the way:

Step 4: Enter the Mysterious Gateway

Once you’ve successfully used the Cheer emote at the three statues, head back to the Empty Altar and you’ll find a portal called the Mysterious Gateway.

Enter this mysterious gate and it will take you to a dungeon-like area where you can find a High Priest corpse on the ground.

Step 5: Defeat the Communing Pillar

Interact with the flesh corpse to summon the High Priest Spirit, which will talk to you and then disappear, and a Communing Pillar will spawn.

Once you have the Communing Pillar, attack it and it will spawn waves of demons and enemies. You’ll have to keep taking down the demons, and in the final wave, a few Elites will appear. Once you’ve killed them all, attack the Communing Pillar once more to destroy it. This will successfully complete The Way of the Three quest, and you can reap the rewards as the hero.
