Diablo 4: The Burden of Family Guide

Speak with Gelena

The Burden of Family quest begins with a task that centers around speaking with Gelena. As per usual, this NPC in Diablo 4's Season of Witchcraft can be found near the Tree of Whispers, and her precise position has been marked on the following maps.

Perform the Ritual

Players must now enter the ritual circle by clicking on the footprint that is between Gelena and the circle. Notably, this is the same action that fans performed during Diablo 4's Poison in the Roots quest, and the words "Coven's Ritual Circle" will appear on-screen when they are targeting the correct spot.

Invoke the Tree's Old Name in the Correct Order

After entering the ritual circle and observing the ritual's preparations, players must invoke the Tree's Old Name in the correct order. Once again, fans will have completed this task before, during the Poison in the Roots quest, and here are the specific actions that they should take:

First, interact with the bottom-left Ritual Brazier and select "Ayh."
Then, interact with the bottom-right Ritual Brazier and select "Yew."
Finally, interact with the top Ritual Brazier and select "Oun."

Trace and Connect the Pentagram

Players should now stand on the illuminated spot that appears near the bottom-left Ritual Brazier. Fans must then walk along the lines of the pentagram that is inscribed onto the ground to cause it to become illuminated. The following series of images showcases the path that players should follow when tracing the pentagram.

Witness the Ritual

The ritual will begin as soon as the pentagram is traced, and it ends with a short combat sequence. While none of the enemies that appear during this sequence are particularly difficult to defeat, Diablo 4 players should be prepared to do battle.

Find Caidin

Once the enemy horde has been dispatched, players should interact with the footprints that are beneath the pentagram to leave the ritual circle. Fans should then head downward, jumping across a gap when necessary, to reach Gelena and Caidin. The precise position of those NPCs has been marked on the following map, and The Burden of Family quest will be marked as complete as soon as players speak with Gelena.
