Deeds of a Champion is one of the quests that only become available once players beat the main campaign of Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred. This quest serves as a prelude to the endgame, sending players out into Sanctuary to complete a number of objectives to help them reach level 60 quicker.
While this quest is as straightforward as most others, it's one of the mandatory steps needed to unlock the Dark Citadel, one of the new areas that players can farm to get Unique items in Diablo 4. If you want to reach this endgame co-op dungeon, or if you just really want to cross this quest off your list, here's what you need to do.
Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred - All Tenets of Akarat Locations
Across Nahantu, you will find 30 Tenets of Akarat in Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred, and here is where they can be found.
Diablo 4 Deeds of a Champion Quest Walkthrough
This is a fairly long quest that basically gives players a hefty checklist of stuff to complete. It's not difficult by any means, but expect to sink decent bit of time into this quest. The objectives you need to complete are:
- Unlock all Mercenaries
- Complete 3 Dungeons in Nahantu
- Complete the Tenets of Depravity side quest chain
- Conquer the Kichuk Stronghold
- Slay the Terror of Five Hills in the Undercity
- Complete Endgame Activities
Mercenaries
Getting all the Mercenaries in Diablo 4 involves three separate side quests (four if you count the main story quest that unlocks the whole system). None of them should take long to complete, but if you haven't cleared the Temple of Rot stronghold in the Dry Steppes, you should do that first since it's needed for one of the Mercenaries (Varyana).
You can start each of the Mercenary quests by picking up the highlghted items inside The Den.
Tenets of Depravity
The Tenets of Depravity quests involve remnants of the Burning Knights faction of the Temple of Light. Completing this objective is just a matter of following the markers on your map and interacting with objects or NPCs. We recommend doing the dungeons that are near the objectives so you can finish that part of Deeds of a Champion as well.
Kichuk Stronghold
Kichuk is a village in the northwestern part of Nahantu. Once you arrive there, Lacuni will be slaughtering the townsfolk. Repel the monsters, and the remaining survivors will ask you to exterminate the rest inside the caves. Destroy the pillars to collapse the cave, and return to the surface to find that a Lacuni shaman is using the survivors as sacrifices for ascension. Beat the shaman, and the Stronghold will be cleared.
Endgame Activities
The final part of this quest will have you doing endgame activities. This is basically a non-issue at this point, as these are the activities you'll be doing anyway at this point in the game. Complete Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, participate in Helltides, and complete level 20 of The Pit to finish this quest.
Where Is Sihek In Diablo 4?
After you get all the Mercenaries and complete Tenets of Depravity, the dungeons, and Kichuk, you'll be asked to return to Ormus in Kurast Bazaar, who will tell you to speak with Sihek, another member of the Kurast Council. If he's nowhere to be found, that means you haven't met him yet.
To find Sihek, you must complete the Undercity series of quests. It should be available to you at this point, as it is automatically unlocked as part of the main quest line. Here, you'll need to venture into the titular Kurast Undercity, where councillor Sihek is researching a cure for Hollow corruption. Finish this quest, and Sihek will be at his seat in the council chambers. Also, he'll tell you to defeat the Terror of the Five Hills in the now-unlocked Kurast Undercity dungeon.
