To activate Diablo II's third quest in Act I, you must complete the sisters' burial ground quest and return to the rogue encampment and speak with Akara. Act I Bestiary: Fallen and carvers crowd the wilderness surrounding the rogue encampment. Though the small demonic creatures aren't especially tough, they're usually accompanied by a shaman, which possesses a fire attack and the ability to raise dead fallen or carvers. If you notice fallen or carvers being resurrected, scout around quickly for the shaman and eliminate it. You don't receive extra experience for killing raised fallen or carvers (and their similar relatives later in Act I); raised creatures are just troublesome. Eliminate the shaman quickly to reduce the extra work. Act I, Quest III Objective from Akara "It is clear that we are facing an Evil difficult to comprehend, let alone combat. There is only one Horadrim Sage, schooled in the most arcane history and lore, who could help us...his name is Deckard Cain. You must travel to Tristram, I pray that he still lives. Tristram is too far to journey by foot... Cain would likely be dead when you arrived. However, there is a magical portal that will take you there instantly. To open it, one must stand within the circle of Cairn Stones and touch them in a certain order. The proper order can be found in the runes written on the bark of the Tree of Inifuss. You must find the sacred Tree of Inifuss and bring back its bark. I will translate the runes to unlock the Stones' mystic pattern." UNIQUE MONSTER: Search the stony field for Rakanishu, who's lightning enchanted and extra fast. Extra fast doubles attack rate, and lightning enchanted supplies lightning damage while making Rakanishu 75 percent more resistant to lightning attack. Lightning damage is extremely powerful, especially this early in the game (if this is your first play through). Don't venture into the stony field and face off against Rakanishu unless you're well-prepared! He's not alone either; he's surrounded by other fallen shamen and a host of pesky fallen. Act I, Quest III Location The third quest in the Act I is divided into several segments, each located in a different area of the wilderness. Your first goal is to locate the Tree of Inifuss to recover the bark scroll, which contains the runes that reveal the correct order of cairn stones to open the portal to Tristram. The Tree of Inifuss is found in the dark wood. From the rogue encampment, head into the blood moor, then the cold plains, into the stony field, into the underground passage (levels 1 and 2) and into the dark wood. The cairn stones can be found in the stony field. TIP: Explore the burial grounds, central to the sisters' burial grounds quest and explore the crypt and mausoleum. Though the areas aren't essential to complete quests, you will find plenty of creatures to gain experience and chests to accumulate gold and equipment.
