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 | |

| 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. | |
