The Way of the Three (Side Quest) Walkthrough
Embark on the Side Quest by using your Cheer emote in front of three statues, each dedicated to one of the Prime Evils. Baal's statue is in the Ritual Site of the Altar of Ruin which is a Stronghold you will have to conquer beforehand. You can find the Stronghold on our Interactive Map here: [Diablo 4 Map Link]. Mephisto's statue is embedded on the ground at the south edge of Caldeum, near one path into the Fields of Hatred. Diablo's statue is in the Shrine of Terror, in the northeastern part of the Southern Expanse, closer to the central area. Finally, head to the Gates to Hell on the northeastern edge of Caldeum, where you can interact with the Unknown Altar to activate the Quest.

Jump into the Mysterious Gateway and explore the cave. The Mysterious Gateway is a Cellar in the game. You can find it on our Interactive Map here: [Diablo 4 Map Link].
- Investigate the Cave
Move forward along the singular path to eventually find the High Priest Corpse. Investigate it to awaken its spirit.

After hitting it for a bit, prepare for battle as waves of demons appear to protect the pillar, and vanquish them. The minor Enemies will be no threat, but the pillar will also summon a number of Elites with a variety of different Affixes.

Once you've killed all the demons and survived the onslaught, you can finally fully destroy the pillar to conclude this Side Quest.
