Bait the Trap Walkthrough
Begin the Quest by speaking to the boss Lyndon in Backwater. You'll find him talking to Orton. Ask him, "You have another job for me?" This will activate the Quest and highlight your next objective location which will be northwest of your location. The area will be indicated by a blue circle, just outside of Backwater. If you haven't already, make sure you activate the Waypoint here in Backwater before you leave.
- Speak with Lyndon outside Backwater
Lyndon will follow you and then stand near a fence. Approach him and say, "I assume you have a plan." Both of you will be bait for the rat.
- Go to the first ambush location
The first location will be to the west, in the Blackguard Bog, still at the Forsaken Coast.
- Enter the Secluded Clearing
You'll have to enter the Secluded Clearning which is a Cellar. You can find the Cellar on our Interactive Map here: [Diablo 4 Map Link].
- Go to the first ambush location
Move forward along the singular path and into the clearing.
- Slay the drowned
There'll be some normal Enemies here, nothing to fear. Kill the Reavers and Skulkers to clear the area.
- Wait for the ambush
With the monsters cleared out, you'll just have to wait until the red bar to your right empties out over time. You can interact with the stashes nearby to glean some information on his relationship with Orton.
- Go to the next ambush location
Exit out of the Cellar and head to the northwest to get to the second location, still in the Blackguard Bog.
- Enter the Quiet Clearing
You'll have to enter the Quiet Clearning which is another Cellar. You can find the Cellar on our Interactive Map here: [Diablo 4 Map Link].
- Go to the second ambush location
Move forward along the singular path. No creatures to clear out this time.
- Wait for the ambush
Just like the last one, you'll just have to wait until the red bar to your right empties out over time. You can interact with the stashes but Lyndon will be too busy with his own monologue for any comments.
- Speak with Lyndon
No ambush still. Curious. Talk to Lyndon and ask, "Should we go to the last location?" The last location seems to only have been told to Orton so Lyndon isn't too worried.
- Go to the last ambush location
Exit out and head to the next location. The last location will be to the west again, in The Rustwash.
- Enter the Isolated Shack
You'll have to enter the Isolated Shack which is another Cellar. You can find the Cellar on our Interactive Map here: [Diablo 4 Map Link].
- Go to the last ambush location
Move forward along the singular path. No creatures to clear out in this one as well.
- Slay the ambush
Unfortunately, it seems that there indeed was an ambush waiting to happen here. This should be a simple fight, especially with the oil barrels that Lyndon set up beforehand. Use any long-ranged attacks on them to quickly dispatch of the Enemies.
- Speak with Lyndon
Approach the dejected Lyndon and ask, "So, what now?" The details of the plan to catch Orton will be disclosed. This will complete the quest.
