The third quest in Act I, the search for Cain, isn't necessary to complete in your eventual goal to advance to Act II. However, there are some important consequences if you choose not to rescue Deckard Cain yourself. If you choose not to rescue Cain, rogues automatically rescue him when quest six is activated. Should rogues rescue him, Deckard Cain will charge you to identify items in the remainder of the Act I and all of acts II, III, and IV. If you do rescue Cain, though, he'll identify items for free. There's no need to rush through Act I - take the time to rescue Cain and reap the rewards of free item identification! UNIQUE MONSTER: You'll find cursed Griswold defending Deckard Cain's cage in Tristram. Act I, Quest III Log Entry #5: Visit Cain and Akara in the rogue encampment. Rescuing Deckard Cain opens a town portal to the rogue encampment. Follow Cain into the portal to return to town. Locate Cain in the rogue encampment and speak with him to learn his story. Cain reveals "our greatest fears," that Diablo has once again been set loose upon the world. Diablo was slain beneath Tristram, and although there was a great celebration for the hero who slew the lord of terror, the hero became increasingly depressed and eventually quite disturbed and tormented. Eventually, the hero simply left; shortly thereafter, Tristram was attacked by demons. Cain theorizes that Diablo has taken possession of the hero who sought to slay him, which, if true, would make Diablo more powerful than ever before. After speaking with Cain, locate Akara and initiate conversation to receive your reward for rescuing the Horadrim sage. Act I, Quest III Rewards Completing the search for Cain grants both immediate and long-term rewards. Speak with Akara and receive a magic ring. Rescuing Deckard Cain also means he won't charge the player to identify magic items for the remainder of the game. Simply return to town (via town portal, waypoint, or walking) and locate Deckard Cain. Speak with him and select Identify Items, and he'll identify all items in your inventory at no cost. Fail to complete the search for Cain quest by the time the sixth quest in Act I is activated means that Deckard Cain will charge for item identification for the remainder of the game.
