Mastering the Swamp Challenge in Diablo 4

Obtaining The Swamp's Protection Quest

In Diablo 4, players can expect an extensive campaign that includes numerous side quests to boost their character's stats once the main story concludes. While some of these quests are optional, others are only accessible once players reach specific points in the campaign. For instance, The Swamp's Protection is a side quest that won't be available until later in the game. Although this quest is relatively easy to complete and rewards players with XP, it requires them to navigate a swamp full of foes. This guide will assist players in unlocking and finishing The Swamp's Protection quest.

In order to access the Swamp's Protection side quest, players must progress through the game's campaign until they reach Act 4. At the beginning of this act, a brief questline introduces players to Timue. Once this series of missions involving Timue is completed, the side quest will become available for players to undertake.

Players can obtain the quest by visiting Timue's Hovel in the Blightmarsh area of the Hawezar region. The location is easily accessible by traveling southeast from the Ruins of Rakhat Keep: Inner Court waypoint until reaching the blue exclamation point marked on the map.

Quest Walkthrough

To complete the side quest, players must deliver medicine to three individuals located in the vicinity of the swamp. Upon speaking with Timue, the quest will be initiated, and players must obtain the necessary supplies from the chest located behind her. The map will display a blue circle indicating the location of each individual, and each circle is easily navigable. For reference, the map above illustrates the precise locations of the three individuals.

Baridan, located to the west of the house, should be the first person to receive the delivery. Followed by Duraya, who can be found west of Baridan. Finally, Raldin can be reached northeast of Duraya's position, but only after the wave of bandits in the area has been defeated.

Players who speak with Raldin will be directed to a bandit camp in the Forsaken Coast area, located to the northeast. It is recommended that players have a mount equipped to expedite travel and avoid any hostile enemies along the way. The ultimate goal of The Swamp's Protection side quest is to eliminate all bandits at the camp, and upon completion, players can return to Timue to claim rewards including a substantial amount of XP, resources, and gold. Diablo 4 is available on various platforms including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
