A Hero's Return is a prologue campaign quest in Diablo IV. It begins immediately after the completion of "Darkness Within," and is followed by "A Hero's Reward" quest.

Objectives[]

  1. Return to Nevesk "The broken tower held evil creatures and demonic magic. At least tidings of their defeat should set the villagers at ease."
  2. Speak with Vani

Walkthrough[]

After defeating X'fal, a rope drops near the back left pillar. Interact with it to quickly exit of the dungeon. Follow the yellow quest indicator back to Nevesk. Enter the tavern and speak with Vani. After speaking with Vani, a cutscene will appear and will end the quest.

Transcript[]

  • Vani: You've returned!
  • Wanderer: The old ruins are clear. Your town should be safe now.
  • Vani: Truly...? Ha! By the Light, you are Heaven sent! Oh, I'm so sorry, we...we haven't any coin to offer. But we have hot stew, good company, and--
  • Elenta: Wash out the taste of the stew!
  • Vani: We'd be honored if you'd join us.
  • Stanis: To our savior!
The Wanderer is drugged and dragged off by Oswen. Rathma's Prophecy appears on screen.
  • Oswen: By Mother's blood, by Mother's body, so...uh, shall you witness her glory...
  • Iosef: They're coming...the whole damned village! Get up! Get up! We have to fight our way out! There! Take them! May the Light preserve us!

Optional[]

  • Oswen: Ah, bastard monk. Punched me in the gut and ran off into the woods.
    • This line only occurs if the player talks to Oswen before Vani, triggering the quest's main cutscene.
