Act I, Quest II: Sisters' Burial Grounds
Activate Diablo II's second quest, sisters burial grounds, by speaking with Kashya in the rogue encampment after completing the den of evil quest. Alternatively, you can explore the wilderness around the rogue encampment and discover the burial grounds area just off the cold plains. Discover the cemetery here to activate the sisters' burial grounds quest.

Act I, Quest II Objective from Kashya
"My rogue scouts have reported an abomination in the Monastery graveyard! Apparently, Andariel is not content on taking only our living. Blood Raven, one of our finest captains in the battle against Diablo at Tristram, was also one of the first corrupted by Andariel. Now, you'll find her in the Monastery graveyard raising our dead as zombies! We cannot abide this defilement! If you truly our ally you will help us destroy her!"

Act I, Quest II Location
Blood Raven can be found in the cemetery amongst a horde of undead skeletons and zombie creatures. The cemetery is located in the burial grounds, which can be found by following the maps from the rogue encampment to the blood moor to the cold plains and finally to the burial grounds. You'll know you're close to Blood Raven when you hear her distinct taunt.

UNIQUE MONSTER: Search the cold plains for Bishibosh, a fire-enchanted unique monster with magic resistance. Magic resistance gives Bishibosh 75 percent resistance to elemental attacks. Fire enchanted gives Bishibosh 75 percent resistance to fire damage, double to hit chance, and additional fire damage.

Recommended Level to Complete Act I, Quest II
Blood Raven offers a significant challenge. Not only is she fast and tough with her arrow and flame arrow attacks, but she continues to summon undead skeletons and zombies to protect her. Before heading into the burial grounds' cemetery, an area overflowing with undead creatures, take time to explore the cold plains (and perhaps even the stony field) thoroughly to gain experience, levels, skills, and equipment. You should strive to be around level 4 or 5 before taking on Blood Raven.

TIP:
Clubs and maces offer 150 percent damage against undead creatures, which could prove useful in the fight against the skeleton, zombie, and hungry dead in the cemetery.


Act I Bestiary: One of the tougher Act I beasts you'll encounter are in the "Wendigo" class. These lumbering beasts, the brute, gargantuan beast, and yeti, are durable (especially the brute and yeti). Furthermore, the yeti possesses 20 percent resistance to cold.

Act I, Quest II Log Entry #1: Look for the Blood Raven in the burial grounds next to the cold plains.
If you receive the quest from Kashya, you're told to explore the cold plains and search for the entrance to the burial grounds. The cold plains lead to both the burial grounds and the stony field area. Though not necessary, it's possible to explore the stony field and gain additional experience, levels, and items for your battle in the burial grounds. The creatures found in the stony field provide quite a challenge, however; be prepared if you decide to bypass the burial grounds for the dangers that lie beyond!
