- Quest description(src)

The Woodsman of Nevesk is a side quest in Diablo IV, and the first of the "Woodsman of Nevesk" questline. It leads directly into Chain of Possession. It is obtained by talking to Magdalena in Nevesk.

Objectives[]

  1. Search the wilderness for the Woodsman's Axe (Magdalena, a woman in Nevesk, asked for help retrieving the Woodsman's Axe. She suggested I search the nearby woods where he was rumored to have murdered many.)
  2. Retrieve the Woodsman's Axe
  3. Return the Woodsman's Axe to Magdalena

Transcript[]

  • Class: Looking for something?
  • Magdalena: An axe. Specifically the axe of "the woodsman", a man who stalked and butchered travelers in this area. Rumor has it that the woodsman disappeared recently and left his weapon behind.
  • Magdalena: The priest who hired me didn't offer much more to go on. At this rate I'll freeze before I find the damn thing.
  • Magdalena: If you help me find the axe, I'll cut you in on the pay. Check the woods around town. I'm staying here where it's safe.
  • The Woodsman: Sweet is the blood of the lamb!
  • Class: I have the Woodsman's Axe.
  • Magdalena: It must have been a grim place, judging by how much blood is on the axe. I confess, I'm eager to leave this place. I can't shake the feeling I'm being watched.
  • Magdalena: Now to get this back to Menestad and collect my due. Thank you for your help.

Optional Dialogue[]

  • Class: Why do you want the Woodsman's Axe?
  • Magdalena: I don't, Parin does. He's a priest of sorts, but what he wants with it I don't know. I've done work for him in the past, always odd items or objects with a history. He pays well for them.
