A Pound of Flesh Walkthrough

Begin the Quest by speaking to the man in the cage, Nizaar at The Onyx Watchtower. Ask "You there. Are you alright?" He's going to express his gratefulness for paying him any mind. This will activate the Quest and highlight your next objective location will be to the south of the area you're currently in. This area will be marked by a blue circle on your map.

• Find the Ragged Encampment

Place an objective marker within the target area and use the path to head there. The encampment should be in the middle of the circle.

• Retrieve the gibbet key from the bandits

The bandit group will consist of a couple of Marauders, a Fire Brand, and a Beast. Technically you'll only need to kill them until one of them drops the Gibbet Key.

• Release Nizaar from the gibbet

Teleport back to The Onyx Watchtower Waypoint, and release Nizaar with the key. Speak with Nizaar Ask Nizaar "How does freedom feel?" He'll ask if you have any extra healing potions.

• Give Nizaar one of your Healing Potions

Tell him "Here, take this healing potion" and give him one.

• Help Nizaar choose a weapon

Nizaar now wants revenge on the people who put him in the cage. The next objective targets point to four different weapon stands or storages. Go to one of them to give Nizaar a weapon. Any of them will do.

• Enter Borza's Hideout

Follow the next quest marker into the Side Dungeon, Borza's Hideout. You can find the Dungeon here on our Interactive Map. [Diablo 4 Map Link]

• Help Nizaar find Borza the Grim

Dungeons' layouts are randomly generated, but this one should follow the same simplicity whenever you clear it - there will be a straight path until it forks, but one route just circles back to the other route and go back to form another straight path. This Dungeon is home to bandit Enemies, as well as Skeleton Enemies.

• Slay Borza the Grim
• Slay Nizaar the Traitor
• Slay Borza's Gang

Nizaar doublecrosses you and joins the enemy here. The group will consist of Marauders and Arsonists, as well as Nizaar and Borza. Borza will be an Elite who's Poison Enchanted so be wary of your Life during this fight. Even when Nizaar is down, you might have to hit him a few more times after he says his dying words before the objective is completed. This will complete the quest.
