Perhaps the most important aspect of your battle against Andariel is to make every attempt to clear out the creatures protecting her before advancing against Andariel herself. Lure the creatures away from Andariel and eliminate them before advancing against the Act I boss. Trying to take on Andariel while all the other minions are thrashing about and causing you damage will be much more difficult than taking on Andariel alone.

Act I, Quest VI Log Entry #3: Return to Warriv to take the caravan east.
After defeating Andariel, clear out her lair and collect the discarded items and gold. Finish off any remaining creatures on the fourth level catacombs if you wish and return to the rogue encampment through the town portal created upon Andariel's death.

Act I Bestiary: Encountered a throbbing nest and not sure what to do? That's likely a foul crow nest, which you'll find during your travels in Act I. The foul crow nests periodically spurts out foul crow, which aren't especially tough (single-digit hit-points) but could overwhelm an unprepared character. When you spot the foul crow nest, eliminate it quickly to avoid additional foul crows.

TIP:
Before speaking with Warriv and heading east, take time to explore more of Act I, including any optional dungeons or quests you overlooked before defeating Andariel. Act II's dangers are considerably greater; if you can spend time gaining more levels (and potentially better equipment), don't hesitate to do so. At a minimum, you should be level 15 or higher before taking the caravan east.


Act I, Quest VI Completed Message from Cain
"This is a great victory indeed, but many more battles await. I will accompany you on your journey, lending what assistance I can... Remember, Diablo is still out there, seeking something in the desert. I'm afraid this nightmare will not end until you find what it is he seeks."

Act I, Quest VI Reward
Other than the items dropped upon Andariel's death, you also receive a town portal returning you back to the rogue encampment. Upon your return, speak with Deckard Cain and the others. Head over to Warriv and speak with him to discover a new choice in his dialogue menu: Go East. Select it, watch the Act II cinematic, and prepare for the next stage in your adventure!
