Man, chasing that Darkened Way in Diablo 4 turned into a real scavenger hunt for me yesterday. Totally missed it on my first run through the area. Let me walk you through exactly how I found it, step-by-step, complete with facepalms.
The Frustrating First Attempt
I grabbed a Whispering Keg bounty asking me to shut down some stupid cannibals at “the Darkened Way”. Figured it’d be a quick stop. Pulled up my map, saw the bounty marker, and started running. Ended up near this massive, creepy-looking building called the Forgotten Depths or whatever, in the Ragged Coast. Spent ages running around its giant walls, trying every crack in the stone. Totally blind to the actual path.
- Ran circles around that Forgotten place like a headless chicken.
- Got jumped by like, four Cannibal Brutes while wandering. Waste of a healing pot.
- Got legit angry because the map pointer felt broken.
The Big “Oh DUH!” Moment
Finally opened my map fullscreen and actually looked hard. That pointer? It wasn’t at the building. Nope. It was pointing straight to a spot on the coastline path nearby. Closed the map, ran over to where it looked like the water met the rocks right near that Forgotten Depths, and boom! There it was.
- Saw the map icon sitting right on the coastal path, close to the Forgotten Depths entrance but not at the entrance.
- Followed the coastline path heading kinda northish from the big building.
- Spotted it fast: A small, dark opening in the cliffside, super easy to miss! Blended right into the rock.
Felt like a total goof walking straight in after all that. Place was just this short, creepy tunnel packed with those cannibal dudes, dead simple to clear once I stopped being directionally challenged. Moral of the story? Trust the map pin literally. Sometimes the path isn’t near the big landmark at all, it’s hiding right on the main road like an ugly troll. Go straight for the pointer on the coastline and save yourself some potions.
