Diablo IV Descent Walkthrough

It is now the time to walk across the bridge and enter the Necropolis of the Firstborn [Diablo 4 Map Link]. Once you're inside, just keep following the path ahead, and you will soon see a vision of Rathma. He will speak for a short while before disappearing, and then you can continue on your way. Along the path, you will have to fight some Ghouls and a Shattering Revenant, but don't let that stop you from moving forward. Another vision of Rathma will appear, and he will talk about prophecies before vanishing again. Keep following the path until you reach a set of steps that lead to the Central Chamber. Sadly, the way will be blocked, and you will have to destroy a Tumor of Hatred to open it up. To the left of the door, there is a tumor that you can access by jumping, and it will clear the path ahead for you. Additionally, there are four more tumors that you need to destroy.

Once you have taken care of them, go back to the open area, turn right, and go down the steps to find the next tumor. Follow the straight path ahead, and you will find another tumor just past the left staircase. After you have gotten rid of it, climb up the wall to your right and turn the corner to continue following the path. Be prepared to fight against Fangstorms, Ghouls, and Shambling Corpses as you make your way. At the end of this path, you will encounter another vision of Rathma, which confirms that you are on the right track.

Take a left and go up the stairs to enter a larger area. Follow the path to the left, and it will lead you to another tumor. Destroy it, and then go down the wall behind it. Go left along the path until you reach a staircase on the right side, across from where you initially climbed up. Climb up the staircase and keep going. On the other side, head left toward the next staircase, but veer off onto the path to its left. Crouch under the branch and eliminate the tumor. Return to the staircase near this path and go up. After you have climbed the second set of stairs, you will reach a landing. Go left around the broken stairs to continue following the path. Another vision of Rathma will appear and disappear.

Keep going along the path, and you will soon reach the final tumor at the end. Once you have gotten rid of it, move past it and go down the wall. When you reach the bottom, you will witness a vision of a conversation between Inarius and Rathma. Listen to what they have to say, and then destroy the final tumor that has appeared, opening the way into the Central Chamber. While on this path, another vision of a conversation between Inarius and Rathma will happen. Take a moment to listen before continuing your journey.

Soon enough, you will reach a lookout marked by a red symbol on the floor. Take a moment to observe the Balance's Sanctum before you proceed. In the next area, you will find a Healing Well where you can replenish your health items. Make sure to take advantage of it before you move forward. In this upcoming area, you will face a boss fight against Lilith's Lament. Once you have defeated him, he will drop various rewards for you to collect.

After that, go talk to the Knight Penitent who came to the rescue. It turns out to be Vigo! Unfortunately, he doesn't survive the encounter, but he leaves behind a Legendary Amulet called Vigo's Protecting Amulet. Pick it up, and then continue following the path to pursue Lilith. Along the way, you will witness another vision of a conversation between Rathma and Inarius.
