WHY PLAYERS GET STUCK

From the Blood Grove Rift, first head southwest, then turn north through the Village of Darkvale. Killing Karroz alone is not enough: defeat the Thall'Nosh, the Unraveler encounter that follows and pick up the dropped Karroz's Tome. The boss-room entrance seals during the fight.

WALKTHROUGH
  1. 1
    Accept the quest from Captain Somer
    • Complete the prerequisite quest Blood Harvest.
    • Speak to Captain Somer in Homestead and accept Reaping What You Sow.
    • The objective is to kill the cult leader Karroz and bring back the tome that reveals the cult's plans.
  2. 2
    Reach Darkvale Gate
    • From the Blood Grove Rift, head southwest, then follow the route north toward the Village of Darkvale.
    • Continue north through the village and use the one-way entrance at its end to enter Darkvale Gate. Activate the rift just inside.
    • Zaria, the Carver appears near the end of the village, but the quest target is Karroz farther inside Darkvale Gate.
  3. 3
    Defeat Karroz and Thall'Nosh
    • Proceed to the end of Darkvale Gate's second level and enter the boss room beyond the door. The entrance seals until the fight is over.
    • Kill Karroz, Sigil of Ch'thon. Thall'Nosh, the Unraveler then appears; defeat this second enemy as well.
    • Both encounters use summons and Chaos/Vitality-oriented attacks. If resistance-reduction effects cause a sudden health drop, disengage until the debuff expires.
  4. 4
    Collect the tome and report to Captain Somer
    • Pick up Karroz's Tome, the quest item dropped after Thall'Nosh is defeated.
    • Return to Homestead and report to Captain Somer.
    • Rewards are 16,000 / 40,000 / 79,000 XP by difficulty, +500 Black Legion reputation, +500 Homestead reputation, and a random Epic accessory. Completion unlocks The Inquisitor.
STILL LOST?

If you cannot find the route, leave the Blood Grove Rift to the southwest, turn north, and proceed through the Village of Darkvale into Darkvale Gate. If the objective does not advance after Karroz dies, defeat Thall'Nosh and make sure you picked up Karroz's Tome from the floor.

This Base Game Act 3 main quest requires no DLC. It has no time limit or failure branch and is not normally missable. It leads to the final boss fight of Act 3. After the fight, use the exit beyond the room and activate the next rift for easier progression.
