How to complete Poison the Roots in Diablo IV

This quest revolves around completing a certain magic ritual, which is all about lighting braziers in a very specific order and then using blood to draw a circle in front of it. This completes the quest and lets you access some new and tasty powers, such as being able to run around with a giant frog that spits poison at your o൲pponents.

But first, let’s see how to light the braziers in the correct order. Once you have spoken to Gelena and got the quest, you will find yourself right in front of the Tree of Whispers, the location where the ritual will take place. You will see the magic circle and three braziers, with several characters in front of them. You will hear them speak a word after the ritual has started.

Once the initial part of the ritual is over, start from the leftmost brazier, which is the one in front of the witch that said “Ayh.” Now, proceed in a counterclockwise manner and activate the one in front of the “Yew,” then complete the brazier with “Oun.” Once you have lighted them in the correct order, you will see Nangari Blood spawn in front of you and pick up the three vials.

Now, walk around the perimeter of the circle, which is how you will trace it with the blood. Just try to stay close to the ritual circle, and you should be done with this step quickly. Once the ritual is underway, several enemies will spawn and you will be tasked with keeping them out of the ritual for a certain period. It shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes.

Once you have defeated enough enemies, the ritual will complete, and you can finally speak to Gelena. she will thank you, as they now can breathe a little𝕴 easier. This completes the Poison in the roots quest.
