Diablo IV The Cage of Grief Walkthrough
At the end of Encumbered Mind, Taissa suggests visiting the Hungering Swamp [Diablo 4 Map Link] in order to help Donan overcome his grief with Yorin's death. Set a tracker to the quest marker found east of the Ruined Tower and follow the trail there. Enter the Hungering Swamp when you arrive.
In the swamp, head north to a hut weaved within several trees. Taissa will tell you that Valtha brought her here to face her demons, and that is what she hopes Donan will accomplish here too. She requires two items for the ritual, however; some Maggot Queen Ichor and a Yellow Lotus. While you're looking for these items, you will come across Plague Maggots, Plague Maggot Young, Putrid Remains, Rotting Corpsefiends, and Swamp Spawn.
The Maggot Queen can be found at her nest south-southwest of the hut. When you arrive, you will first have to clear the Plague Maggots and Plague Maggot Young to draw out their queen. Defeat two waves of maggots, and the Elite Maggot Queen will show up with the third wave. Defeat her for the Maggot Queen Ichor, then return to the hut.
The Yellow Lotus is slightly easier to obtain, simply head north from the hut and you'll find it on the ground next to a blue torch. There is an Elite Plague Maggot Young in the area, but you can simply run past these enemies if you want to. Return to Taissa in the hut after you've gotten both the required items.
Back in the ritual site, place the two ingredients in the pot next to Taissa. Speak to her, and she asks you to light the three braziers in the hut. After you do so, speak to Taissa again to start a cutscene. All three of you take part in the ritual, but while you and Taissa fall asleep, Donan relives the grief of losing his son.
When you come to, you'll find a Fiery Portal in the hut with you, and no sign of Taissa or Donan. Enter the portal and you'll meet Mephisto. Speak to him once you get the opportunity to do so, and he proposes you join him in focusing on Lilith while your allies deal with Elias. Speak to him for the last time and he'll open another Fiery Portal back to Sanctuary. Open the doors to your right to find and enter the portal.
You won't be teleported back to the swamp, but instead to Taissa at the Ruined Tower. The quest will end here, rewarding you with some XP and Gold. The next quest, One Step Forward, will begin shortly after.
