Act III, Quest I: The Golden Bird
To activate the first quest in the third act, you must venture to the spider forest, the area adjacent to the Kurast docks. Battle the creatures here until you defeat the first unique Act III monster. Look carefully at the ground and spot the jade figurine. Place the jade figurine in your inventory to activate the quest.

Act III, Quest I Objective from Cain
"Back in Lut Gholein, Meshif told me he had a fondness for jade figurines. On his trading voyages he collected an odd assortment of such small statues. I would show him your figurine."

Act III, Quest I Location
The golden bird quest doesn't require much travel; most of the legwork is accomplished inside the Kurast docks. To activate the quest, simply venture out into the area adjacent to the Kurast docks, designated the spider forest. Upon defeating the first unique monster, the jade figurine is dropped. Pick up the jade figurine to activate the quest.

After acquiring the jade figurine, return to town and speak with Deckard Cain.
Recommended Level to Complete Act III, Quest I
The golden bird doesn't require much combat. You shouldn't have to venture too far into the spider forest to locate a unique monster and gain the jade figurine. Once you obtain the jade figurine, the rest of the quest takes place in the Kurast docks. Your character's level should be in the early 20s by the time you reach the third act; that should be sufficient to complete the golden bird.

Act III Bestiary: The shamans are back! As you encountered during the first act, you'll find several types of shamans (and their respective minions) inside the jungle surrounding Kurast. You'll likely encounter the fetish and its shaman first. The fetish can have a number of attacks, including melee and blow darts (look closely to see the dart coming from off screen). The fetish shaman, like its earlier counterparts, can raise dead fetish and possesses an inferno fire attack. During Act III, you'll also encounter flayers, soul killers, stygian dolls, their shaman, and undead versions of each.

Act III, Quest I Log Entry #1: Ask Cain about the jade figurine.
After defeating the first unique monster in the third act, grab the jade figurine and acquire the quest. A new entry appears in the quest log; take the jade figurine back to Deckard Cain to learn about its origin and its significance. Cain mentions that he heard back in Lut Gholein that Meshif, who transported you from Lut Gholein to the Kurast docks, has a fondness for jade figurines. He suggests you take the figurine and show it to Meshif.
