Ogden's Sign is a quest that involves a signpost which has been stolen from Ogden the tavern owner. If this quest is available, it will be impossible to enter the Catacombs until it has been completed. It is initiated by speaking to Ogden anytime after entering the third floor of the dungeon. The Signpost itself is on level four, near the stairs, guarded by several Overlords. However, it is in a locked chest, and Snotspill, a leader of the Dark Ones, has the key. He will give it to the hero but will insist that the sign be returned to him.
Retrieving the sign and returning it to Ogden will complete the quest and the hero will be rewarded with the Harlequin Crest. However, when the hero again approaches Snotspill, he will trigger an ambush of many Dark Ones as well as himself. The hero can also give the sign to Snotspill instead of taking it back to Ogden, but Snotspill will still attack and you can no longer get the Harlequin Crest from Ogden. Behind Snotspill's room is the stairwell to the Catacombs.
NPC quotes[]
- Initiation
Demons are concerned with ripping out your heart, not your signpost.
Look, I got over simple sign stealing months ago. You can't turn a profit on a piece of wood.
Never let their erratic actions confuse you, as that too may be their plan.
- Snotspill (first encounter)
- Snotspill (return)
- Completion
Diablo III[]
In Diablo III, this quest does not reappear in The Darkening of Tristram, but one can still obtain Harlequin Crest by killing Snotspill. The event also rewards a banner pattern with Tavern of the Rising Sun symbol on it.
