While Diablo may look like a simple dungeon crawler to us mere mortals, the twisting tale of Diablo 2 Resurrected is packed full of perplexing puzzles and fearsome foes to keep your hero of Sanctuary on edge. Whether it\u2019s retrieving the Horadric Malus from the demon-infested monastery in Act I, or scouring the sands in search of Claw Viper Temple in Lut Gholein, casting the Lord of Terror back into the depths is no easy task. The game\u2018s penultimate quest, Rite of Passage, is equally as gruelling as its predecessors, so here\u2019s how to defeat the three Ancients in Diablo 2 Resurrected and, in turn, earn yourself the chance of taking on Baal himself. Contents Diablo 2 Rite of Passage: How to activate it in Resurrected In order to begin your Rite of Passage, you\u2019ll need to have fought through the hordes and into the Lord of Destruction DLC. This begins during Act V.

This is located past the Frozen Tundra. &#8211; &#8211; The second option is possibly the easier of the two, as once you\u2019re at The Ancient\u2019s Way you can just continue through it until you get to the Arreat Summit. This is where your battle will begin once you interact with the Altar of the Heavens. Diablo 2 Resurrected: Rite of Passage bosses, tips &#038; tricks Once you\u2019re at the Arreat Summit, we suggest opening a portal back to town and filling up on mana and health potions \u2013 after all, you have three foes to face and they\u2019re pretty deadly. Buy loads of them, return to the Summit and then drop them. Rinse and repeat a few times to make sure you\u2019re all stocked up, then fully restock your belt.

This will spawn the three Ancients, who can be defeated using the methods below. Be aware that they are from the Barbarian class, so are powerful melee fighters. You can also accidentally trap each Barbarian at a different corner of the summit, so make sure you kite them and pick them off one by one, making them more manageable. Darting back and forth using town portals isn\u2019t your best course of action in this circumstance, as each enemy\u2019s heath will reset and they will be given different buffs each time you leave the area. Diablo 2 Rite of Passage: Rewards Rewards will only activate if the player is at least level 20 in Normal, level 40 in Nightmare, and level 60 in Hell, and are as follows: You will then be able to access the Worldstone Keep, where you\u2019ll fight the game\u2019s final boss, Baal, Lord of Destruction. So that\u2019s how to complete Diablo 2\u2019s Rite of Passage quest and, in turn, earn your spot against Baal in the arena.
