Diablo IV Storming the Gates Walkthrough

At the end of In Her Wake, you discovered that Neyrelle's mother, Vhenard, made an offer with Lilith, though in exchange for what remains a mystery. Now in the Courts of Dawn in Cradle [Diablo 4 Map Link], head up the steps in front of you. At the top, you'll find another pile of Lilith's Blood Petals. You'll witness Lilith revealing to Vhenard that she wishes to find her son, Rathma.

Interact with the Ancient Gate after the vision ends, and deal with the Vile Ones and Vile Shamans waiting for you on the other side. This next room splits to the left and right. Take the path to the left, then turn right at the corner. Take the next right, then turn left to get to another split. Head down the path on the right this time, then when you get to the larger chamber, head north to find and open an Ancient Gate. Beyond the gate is another pile of Lilith's Blood Petals. You won't be able to interact with these ones just yet, but instead an Elite demon named Rohaska will appear. Defeat her, then interact with the blood petals.

In this vision, Vhenard chooses to stay with Lilith rather than to return to Neyrelle. Lilith teaches her a ritual that will aid them in finding Rathma beneath the ruins. The barrier barring the door will be dispelled after the vision ends. Open it, then head down the stairs into the Cloisters of Dusk.

You'll encounter a wide range of enemies in this area — Bilefiends, Branders, Oppresors, Sandstalkers, Succubi, Vile Ones, Vile Overseers, Vile Shamans. The quickest way forward is to take the path on the right in the split. Turn left heading north, then take another right. Take a left at the corner, and up the stairs are more enemies, as well as an Elite Succubus. Defeat or run past them, then continue westward. In the room with the Ancient Totem, turn right, then left at the corner, and finally keep heading straight ahead. If you ran past all the enemies at this point, consider defeating any mobs following you in the open chamber, as up ahead is an Elite Succubus guarding a narrow walkway.

At the top of the stairs behind the Elite enemy is an Ancient Gate you can open. Speak to Neyrelle at the other end of the room, who offers to dispel the barrier blocking your way forward. While she does this, you have to defend from several Bilefiends, Branders, and Sandstalkers for 42 seconds. Successfully defend her, within the time, and she dispels the barrier, killing all remaining enemies.

Leave the room and enter the Mourning Shore to end the quest. You'll receive 17,136 XP and 1,560 Gold as a reward, and The Cost of Knowledge will begin immediately after.
