Act II, Quest IV Log Entry #1: Talk to Drognan.
You're told to speak with Drognan to learn more about Horazon, the sanctuary, and its importance to the quests in Act II. Drognan provides your quest objective and the first clue to locating the entrance into Horazon's sanctuary: Speak with Jerhyn. Locate Jerhyn in front of the palace (located in Lut Gholein) and speak with him to learn more about the entrance into the sanctuary.

Act II, Quest IV Log Entry #2: Look for the arcane sanctuary within the palace.
Jerhyn reveals that demons have entered the underbelly of his palace through a mysterious rift. It's believed that this rift could take you into Horazon's sanctuary, otherwise known as the arcane sanctuary. After you have spoken with Jerhyn, enter the palace and proceed into the harem levels.

UNIQUE MONSTER: Encounter Fire Eye, a unique monster, located on the third level of the palace cellar. Fire Eye is fire enchanted (giving him 75 percent resistance to fire damage and bonuses to fire attack damage and to hit percentage) and extra fast (providing a velocity increase and doubled attack rate).

The area beneath the palace is extensive. You'll descend through two levels of the harem and an additional three levels of the palace cellar. Be sure to explore the first level of the palace cellar thoroughly to locate the waypoint. Use the waypoint here to quickly return to Lut Gholeim to replenish your supply of healing potions, identify items, or upgrade your weaponry and armor.

Locate the portal into the arcane sanctuary on the palace cellar, level 3.
The third level of the palace cellar contains the portal leading into the arcane sanctuary. Proceed into the portal. The arcane sanctuary is an extremely difficult area; the walkways are quite cramped and don't offer much opportunity to retreat. Consider dropping a town portal scroll to provide a quick exit back to Lut Gholein. Also, explore the arcane sanctuary thoroughly and locate the waypoint market; use it to return to Lut Gholein and recover health and mana points, replenish healing potions, identify items, or upgrade weaponry and armor.

Act II, Quest IV Log Entry #3: Find Horazon's journal.
Your goal inside the arcane sanctuary is Horazon's journal, positioned on a pedestal and guarded by a unique monster, the Summoner, a powerful magic user guarded by various common demons. Defeat the Summoner and the surrounding monsters and recover Horazon's journal. Completing the arcane sanctuary quest is essential to moving forward in Act II. Upon acquiring Horazon's journal, a portal opens to the canyon of the magi, which takes you to Tal Rasha's tomb. Further, Horazon's journal reveals the correct symbol that corresponds to the correct entrance into Tal Rasha's tomb.

Act II, Quest IV Completed Message from Drognan
"You have found Horazon's Journal? Excellent! I must caution you. The information that you hold, the mark of the True Tomb of Tal Rasha, is sought, if not already known, by Diablo. I needn't elaborate on the implications of that."

Act II, Quest IV Rewards
Acquiring Horazon's journal from the arcane sanctuary reveals a glowing sigil, which indicates the correct symbol into Tal Rasha's tomb. Also, a portal is created to the canyon of the magi. Advance into the portal and locate the entrance into Tal Rasha's tomb.
