Alright, adventurer! So you wanna climb to the top of Mount Arreat and chat with some grumpy ancients, huh? No problem! Think of it like climbing a slightly less treacherous, pixelated mountain made of demons and loot!
Act V: The Scenic Route (Not Really)
First, you gotta be in Act V. If you're still battling giant maggots in Act I, you've got a bit of a journey ahead of you. Just keep following the story; it's like a really long, slightly confusing treasure map.
Once you are in the Harrogath, you need to head out! The first waypoint you want to get to is Frigid Highlands.
Freezing Your Toes in the Frigid Highlands
Frigid Highlands is pretty straightforward. Just keep heading out and slaying stuff. Eventually, you'll stumble upon the next waypoint, it can be a bit hidden, so explore a bit!
If you got yourself a Town Portal scroll or two, you can create a portal to Harrogath and heal up. Make sure you are fully prepared for the next area!
Arreat Plateau: Prepare for Some Wind (and Monsters)
Next up is Arreat Plateau. This place is bigger than your first apartment, so buckle up. You might have to explore around a bit.
Again, look for the next waypoint. You might encounter some nasty monsters here, so bring potions. Lots and lots of potions!
Crystalline Passage: Ice, Ice, Baby!
From Arreat Plateau, you're looking for the entrance to the Crystalline Passage. This place is exactly what it sounds like. It's like walking through a giant ice cube. A giant ice cube filled with monsters. With waypoint of course!
This place can be a bit of a maze, so keep your eyes peeled. You might have to do some backtracking, but don't worry, even seasoned adventurers get lost sometimes!
Frozen River: Don't Slip!
There is a exit to Frozen River in Crystalline Passage. Frozen River can be short, or long. You just need to find the entrance to Glacial Trail.
Don't go swimming. It's frozen, duh! Just kidding. Mostly.
Glacial Trail: Almost There! (Maybe)
Okay, now we're talking! You should now be in Glacial Trail. This area is, again, pretty big. Keep your eyes peeled, because now, things are about to get really exciting!
Search carefully, because at the end of this map, you should find Drifter Cavern. But it's not what we want. Look for the entrance of next area. It will be big!
The Ancients' Pathway: The Home Stretch
You are now in The Ancients' Pathway! You are on the right way. You can almost smell the ancients' disapproval.
This is your last stop before the big climb. It is a relative short map, with lots of monsters, including unique ones! Prepare to smash some skeletons and make some ghost to rest in peace!
Arreat Summit: Time to Chat (and Probably Fight)
Finally, the Arreat Summit! Congratulations, you made it! Now, get ready to face the Ancients. Hope you’ve been leveling up and stocking up on potions.
Talk to them, and if they don't like your vibe, prepare for a boss fight. If you fail, don't worry you can restart. But beware! Once you kill the ancients, you will not be able to return!
And there you have it! You've conquered the journey to Ancients' Way. Now go forth and claim your loot!
