In Backwater, just climb down the first ladder, turn around and you'll see the entrance to the Backwater Storage Cellar above you. You can find the Cellar on our Interactive Map here: [Diablo 4 Map Link].
- Speak with Lyndon
Move forward along the singular path to find Lyndon. Talk to him and ask, "What's the plan?" Seems killing is a last resort. They've known each other for so long after all.
- Hide behind the crates
Hide behind the creates to the southwest and watch the confrontation.
- Slay Orton's ambush
- Slay Orton
The Backwater Traitors are all minor Enemies and should be dealt with quickly. Orton on the other hand is an Elite with the Affixes Multishot and Mortar. Keep on your toes and avoid his attacks on multiple large areas.

Exit out and climb back up the ladder. Head back to Lyndon trying to tough it out with some ale. Approach him and say, "Lyndon..." In the end, everything happened as it probably should have, in order to protect Backwater.
