Diablo IV The Path of Riddles Walkthrough
Once you have completed In Rathma's Footsteps, go through the path past the statue in Fragrant Clearing and enter The Blind Holt. Follow the path as it goes north, and you will encounter enemies along the way, which you can defeat or run past and ignore. Eventually, you will find a statue and the path blocked — inspect the statue after you clear the enemies in the area to find a riddle: "I see all, yet knowing nothing. All of Sanctuary is beneath me. What am I?"
Interact with the brazier on the south to light it up, then follow the path that opens. Use the portal to get to The Winding Woods, then keep heading northeast to find another statue with a riddle: As before, another riddle is carved into the statue: "Sometimes I am the light that casts a shadow. Sometimes I am the shadow. Which one am I really?" Light up the northeastern brazier, then interact with the portal at the newly opened path to reach the Timeless Thicket.
When you get to the Timeless Thicket, follow the northern path to find a magic barrier blocking it. Turn off the brazier to unlock the path, then proceed to get to Young Rathma's Refuge, where several enemies will spawn on the northern side. Clear the area to unlock the dungeon nearby, then enter it to get to the Forgotten Hideaway.
Follow the path to find a pylon with the piece of Lilith's Blade at the end and talk to Lorath to progress The Path of Riddles. Then, you will have to solve the riddle by stepping on the pedals to light the braziers nearby. Check the inscription on the northeastern side to find a clue to the riddle: Power born of Hell begets Destruction. This means that the correct sequence in lighting the braziers would be: Dunaxys, Abythos, Coruphar.
Once the barrier of the pedestal is deactivated, interact with the Hilt of Lilith's Blade to take it, then talk to Lorath and select the option, "We have the first piece. Neyrelle would be proud," then head out of the hideaway to find a Hand of Akarat. Speak with them, then defeat them in combat. Once their health is depleted, they will transform to the Hateborn Brute, and you will have to defeat them again. After you defeat the Hateborn Brute, your character will be in pain, and a portal will emerge. The Path of Riddles will be completed, rewarding you with 407,036 XP and 4,970 Gold, and the next main quest, A Door Was Opened, will start.
