4. The path to the Darkened Holt will open as you approach, and you will complete the quest.

2. Shroud Of The Horadrim

Once you accomplish the Wayward Quest, the next step is to clear the Shroud of the Horadrim.

In this quest, players need to follow a wolf into a portal to the Vision of Tristram, where he reveals his identity and warns the player about the Horadrim.

1. The Darkened Holt is located in the Gale Valley; it will lead you to the Winding Way.
2. Proceed up the snowy road, and watch for Wood Wraiths and Phantoms.

3. Roam around and find any extra treasures lying around.
4. In time, you will slide down a slope into an area with more Wood Wraiths and Phantoms and defeat them.
5. Move to find a glowing portal where a Wolf will start speaking with you.

6. The wolf will suggest you hop into the portal, leading you to the Vision of Tristram.
7. The Vision of Tristram is the safest place where no one will harm you, so follow the wolf and speak to him.
8. Follow the wolf to the Living Gate and open it, leading you to another portal.

9. After that, continue talking to the wolf and pass the portal to search for Neyrelle.
10. Follow the path forward after the portal drops you back in the Darkened Holt.
11. Finally, you’ll see Neyrelle. 
12. Help her to get back to the Horadric Vault.
13. The Shadowed Glade is on the way with many Phantoms, a Hellcaller Wraith, and a Mirroring Wraith.
14. Defeat them, head towards the Three-Faced Statue and talk to him. This completes the quest.

The Bottom Line

The Darkened Way is an exciting and perplexing part of the main quest for Act I in Diablo IV.
