Firsthand Knowledge Walkthrough
Begin the Quest by speaking to the scholar Nurbolat in The Forlorn Tread. Ask him, "What are you doing out here?" It seems he's trying to help out the Cathedral of Light. This will activate the Quest and highlight your next objective location which will be just northwest of your current location. The area will be indicated by a blue circle, leading to the Chittering Shrine, still in Dindai Flats.
- Bring Nurbolat to the marketplace
You should see various makeshift tents and shades when you arrive.
- Speak with Nurbolat
Talk to Nurbolat and ask, "Is this the place? What are we looking for?" He actually hasn't ever done this before.
- Bring Nurbolat to Batzorig's Neighbor's house
Follow the spirits' trail a short distance to the northwest.
- Listen to Batzorig and his Neighbor
When you get there you'll see more of what happened through a conversation between two spirits.
- Speak with Batzorig's Neighbor
The scholar will want to actually try and speak to the spirit now. Approach the Friendly Neighbor and ask, "Did you know Batzorig?" Unforunately, it doesn't end well.
- Defeat the Hostile Neighbors
It seems their drive to protect Batzorig went with them as they died. There should just be three Hostile Neighbors to defeat. They don't really pose any threat so make quick work of them.
- Speak with Nurbolat
Talk to the scholar and ask, "What now?" He seems intent on seeing this through to the end.
- Enter the Family Cellar
You'll have to make your way further north to the Family Cellar. You can find the Cellar on our Interactive Map here: [Diablo 4 Map Link]. Inside, move forward along the short singular path into a large chamber. Talk to Nurbolat inside and ask, "Find anything?"
You'll see what happened next to Batzorig.
- Defeat Nutbolat The Possessed
It seems Nurbolat is attuned to the spirit too much. The past will intertwine with present reality, resulting in Nurbolat's possession. The possessed scholar will just be a minor Enemy, so defeat him quickly.
- Speak with Nurbolat
Approach the scholar and ask, "Were you just possessed? Are you alright?" Nurbolat has learned the truth about the corrupt orders firsthand. This will complete the quest.
