Objectives

Leah
Here we are: Caldeum, Jewel of the East. Uncle Deckard loved this place...
 
Tyrael
He wouldn't now that it is under the spell of Belial, Lord of Lies. I can smell his stench on the air.
 
Barbarian
We will split up. You two find Belial, and I will hunt his servant Maghda. Cain will be avenged.
Crusader
You two try to find out where Belial is while I hunt down Maghda. Your uncle will be avenged, Leah
Demon Hunter
We'll have to separate. You two search for Belial while I track down Maghda and make her pay for Cain's death.
Monk
We will split up. You two search for Belial while I hunt Maghda. Cain's death must be avenged.
Witch Doctor
Our paths lead apart. You search for Belial, and I will seek Maghda. Her end will bring rest to Cain's spirit.
Wizard
We need to split up. You two search for Belial while I hunt that witch Maghda. Cain's death will not go unanswered.
 

Go to the Caldeum Bazaar

Talk to Asheara

Barbarian
Guard, where do these refugees come from?
Crusader
Guard, where did these refugees come from?
Demon Hunter
Tell me, guard, why are all these refugees here?
Monk
Guard, where have these refugees come from?
Witch Doctor
Guard, where did these refugees come from?
Wizard
Guard, where did these refugees come from?
 
Asheara
I am not a guard. I am Asheara, commander of the Iron Wolves. We saved these refugees from Maghda's coven???that—even now wreaks havoc throughout the Borderlands.
 
Barbarian
As it happens, I am hunting Maghda. Where do I find her?
Crusader
I am hunting Maghda. Do you know where she's going?
Demon Hunter
I have been hunting Maghda all the way from New Tristram. Where can I find her?
Monk
My enemy. The gods have led me to you. Where can I find Maghda?
Witch Doctor
Then we share a common foe. I seek Maghda, but I do not know where to find her.
Wizard
It seems fate has brought us together. I hunt Maghda. Do you know where she is?
 
Asheara
She's heading toward Alcarnus, but has blocked the road behind her. However, there is another way: through the Khasim Outpost.
 

Go through the Sundered Canyon

Leah
Tyreal and I learned that while the Iron Wolves were fighting Maghda in the desert, the emperor replaced them with imperial guards who bar all from the inner city.
 
Tyrael
I suspect that the Iron Wolves were sent out to die. Belial has made his move. We must find a way into the city.
 
Leah
As a child I explored Caldeum while Uncle Deckard studied here. I can get in through the sewers.
 
Barbarian
Good, Learn what you can while I hunt Maghda.
Crusader
Good, Learn what you can while I hunt Maghda.
Demon Hunter
Good. Learn what you can. We'll reconvene after I've killed Maghda.
Monk
Good, Learn what you can while I hunt Maghda.
Wizard
Good. Learn what you can while I head to Alcarnus to take care of Maghda.
 
Enchantress
Take heed, traveler. Cultists guard these desert roads, and they will slay any who pass.
 
Barbarian
No, they will die. I have come to kill them and their leader.
Crusader Male
That's excellent. I have some questions for these cultists.
Crusader Female
Excellent. I have some questions for these cultists.
Demon Hunter
I've heard. I traveled here to kill them and their leader.
Monk
That would spare me the trouble of finding them.
Wizard
They are welcome to try. I have come here to kill them and their leader.
 
Enchantress
Then you must not go alone. I shall accompany you.
 
Enchantress
(Crusader) You mean to kill them, do you not? I shall come along.
 

Kill the ambushing cultists

Talk to the Enchantress in the Sundered Canyon

Barbarian
How did you know about the ambush?
Crusader
How did you know about the ambush?
Demon Hunter
How did you know about the ambush?
Monk
How did you know about the ambush?
Wizard
How did you know about the ambush?
 
Enchantress
I am an enchantress; the way of magic and illusion are familiar to me. My name is Eirena.
 
Barbarian
I am grateful for your aid. What really brings you to these lands?
Crusader
And I am a crusader. Nice to meet you, Eirena. Why are you out here?
Demon Hunter
My thanks, Eirena. It seems you are doing a lot more than saving travelers, though.
Monk
Thank you, Eirena. But I do not believe you have told me the truth about your presence here.
Wizard
I'm no stranger to magic myself, and yours is pretty unusual. What are you really doing out here?
 

Kill the lacuni attacking the Iron Wolves

Talk to Iron Wolf Jarulf

Iron Wolf Jarulf
If not for you, the lacuni would have eaten well this day...
 
Barbarian
Are there more lacuni on the road to Alcarnus?
Crusader
Are there more lacuni on the road to Alcarnus?
Demon Hunter
Will I need to slaughter more lacuni on my way to Alcarnus?
Monk
I travel to Alcarnus. Will there be more of these lacuni on the road?
Wizard
Should I expect more lacuni on the road to Alcarnus?
 
Iron Wolf Jarulf
Even worse. Cultists are casting spells in two of their desert lairs to obscure the Black Canyon Bridge.
Iron Wolf Jarulf
(Demon Hunter) Hah! Those beast are nothing compared to the cultists! They're casting spells in two of their desert lairs to obscure the Black Canyon Bridge
 

Disrupt the Hidden Conclave ritual
Disrupt the Secret Altar ritual

Enchantress
(After the first disrupted ritual) - There should be another ritual at a cellar to the east of here.

Enchantress
I am not from Caldeum. I learned these spells fifteen hundred years ago. My sisters and I pledge our service to a man of great power. We called him the Prophet.
 
Enchantress
He trained us and placed us in a magical slumber to awaken in this are. I am to prevent the Lords of Hell from invading.
 
Barbarian
This is an age of omens and prophecies... Yours is but one more. You are welcome to fight by my side.
Crusader
I think you're dangerous. I like that. Come, join me.
Demon Hunter
I would scarcely believe it if I hadn't seen your spells with my own eyes. You must have waited for this even longer than I have. Please, join me.
Monk
Our meeting was clearly the work of the gods. Join me. I believe you will make a powerful ally in this fight.
Wizard
You're serious, aren't you? I read about a stasis spell like that once, but I've never tried it. Come with me. It will be nice to have another mage along.
