| - Akara will grant you this quest upon completion of the Sisters' Burial Grounds. Akara informs the player of a Horadrim sage named Deckard Cain, whom she believes will be able to advise the Rogues on their present situation. Cain can be found in the town of Tristram; however, the journey is too far on foot, so the only feasible way to travel to Tristram is via the magical portal opened within the circle of Cairn Stones located somewhere in the Stony Field. The only way to activate the Cairn Stones is to touch each stone in a specific order. The proper order can be found within the runes on the bark of the sacred Tree of Inifuss, which must be brought to Akara for translation. The Tree of Inifuss is located in the Dark Wood, which in turn is accessible only through the Underground Passage in the Stony Field. The Tree of Inifuss is guarded by a Super Unique Brute known as Treehead Woodfist. Once the Scroll of Inifuss is obtained (by clicking on the tree), it must be examined by Akara in the Rogue Encampment. After Akara has translated the runes, return to the Stony Field and locate the Cairn Stones. The stones are guarded by a Super Unique Carver named Rakanishu. Using the Scroll of Inifuss as a guide, touch each of the Cairn Stones in the correct order to open a portal directly to Tristram. Deckard Cain can be found near the well in the center of Tristram, guarded by several Champion monsters. It should also be noted that both Griswold and Wirt can be found here as well, however, neither are what they once used to be. Following his rescue, Deckard Cain will offer to identify items at no charge. Akara will also reward you with a random ring (magic in Normal, rare in Nightmare and Hell). If Deckard Cain is not rescued before continuing to Act II, it will be considered a failed quest until a new game has been made. In this case, Deckard Cain will be rescued by the Rogues, and charges a fee of 200 gold per identified item.
