In Season 7 of Diablo 4, players encounter a quest titled The Burden of Family, which involves assisting with a ritual at the mystical Tree of Whispers. This guide is designed to clarify any uncertainties players may face during this quest, ensuring a smooth experience as they navigate through the intricacies of the Season of Witchcraft.
Before embarking on The Burden of Family, players need to first complete the Whispers in the Wind quest, which tasks them with gathering 30 Grim Favors in Diablo 4.
Your Guide to The Burden of Family
Step 1: Speak with Gelena
The quest initiates with an essential conversation with Gelena, who can be located near the Tree of Whispers. For your convenience, her location is marked on the maps displayed below.
Step 2: Perform the Ritual
To proceed, players must enter the ritual circle by clicking on the footprint located between Gelena and the ritual circle. This action mirrors a similar requirement players encountered in the Poison in the Roots quest, and upon targeting the right area, the phrase “Coven’s Ritual Circle”will appear on-screen.
Step 3: Invoke the Tree’s Old Name in Correct Sequence
With the ritual circle entered, players need to call upon the Tree’s Old Name in a specific sequence. This task echoes the earlier quests, particularly Poison in the Roots. Here’s how to do it:
- Interact with the bottom-left Ritual Brazier and select “Ayh.”
- Next, interact with the bottom-right Ritual Brazier and choose “Yew.”
- Finally, interact with the top Ritual Brazier and select “Oun.”
Step 4: Trace and Connect the Pentagram
After invoking the Tree’s Old Name, players should position themselves on the illuminated spot near the bottom-left Ritual Brazier. Next, they must navigate along the lines of the pentagram inscribed on the ground to illuminate it fully. The images below illustrate the correct path to take in this part of the quest:
Step 5: Witness the Ritual
Once the pentagram has been traced, the ritual commences, culminating in a brief combat segment. While the enemies encountered are relatively straightforward, players should remain vigilant and ready for battle.
Step 6: Find Caidin
After defeating the enemies, players need to interact with the footprints located beneath the pentagram to exit the ritual circle. Continuing downward and leaping over gaps as necessary, players will soon reach Gelena and Caidin. The positions of these NPCs are marked in the accompanying map, and speaking with Gelena will complete The Burden of Family quest.
