Note from the Editor: A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing. The lawsuit alleges that the company has engaged in abusive behavior, discriminatory behavior, and retaliatory behavior towards its female employees. Activision Blizzard has responded by stating that the allegations are false. As new information becomes available, the complete details of the lawsuit that Activision Blizzard has filed (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, and harassment) are being updated to reflect this.

The difficulty of combat encounters, the complexity of quests, and the presence of hidden areas such as the Monastery Barracks and the Monastery Catacombs all serve to keep players on their toes throughout the entirety of Diablo 2: Resurrected. It is a long and arduous task to find and finish every area in the game, but players who are successful in doing so will be rewarded with a significant amount of equipment and weapons along the way. In order to complete each quest in an Act, it will be necessary to discover and investigate a number of different areas.

Because the maps in Diablo 2: Resurrected are randomly generated, it can be very challenging to locate a particular location within the game. Some locations, like the Temple of the Claw Viper, can be skipped over or passed over entirely, which can result in quests not being fully completed. It is necessary to locate the Monastery Barracks as well as the Monastery Catacombs in Act I in order to finish the quests Tools of the Trade and Sisters of Slaughter. Completing the Sisters of Slaughter quest is one of the requirements for moving on to Act II.

Act I contains 14 different areas to investigate, and some of them have multiple levels to complete. Act I's expansive maps can make it difficult to locate certain locations, such as the Monastery Barracks and the Catacombs. In spite of the fact that each map's layout is generated at random, there is a set path that must be followed by all players in order to access each area. From within the Tamoe Highlands, one may make their way to the Monastery.

How to Find the Monastery Barracks and Catacombs in the Game Diablo 2: Resurrected
In Diablo 2: Resurrected, there is a predetermined route that players must take in order to access the Monastery Barracks and the Catacombs. Players must stick to this route. After leaving the Rogue Encampment, players will travel through Blood Moor, Cold Plains, Stony Fields, Underground Passage, Dark Wood, Black Marsh, Tamoe Highlands, the Monastery Gate, the Outer Cloister, and finally the Monastery Barracks. After the players have completed the Tools of the Trade quest, they will be able to advance through the subsequent three levels of the Jail.

After that, players will make their way through the Cathedral and the Inner Cloister, and then, at long last, they will arrive at the Monastery Catacombs. Waypoints can be found in a number of these locations, and players can make use of them to circumvent the need to run the lengthy path or use town portal scrolls each time they want to reach the camp.

It is recommended that you have a top build such as the Frozen Orb Sorceress because there will be powerful enemies to face in both of these areas. As part of the Tools of the Trade quest, which can be found in the Monastery Barracks, the Smith will need to be fought and defeated. After defeating the Smith, players will be able to continue the quest if they have the Horadric Malus in their possession. Andariel, the final boss of Act I, will be waiting for players in the Catacombs of the Monastery. It is necessary to prevail over this boss in order to proceed to Act II.

You have been adventuring through Diablo 2 Resurrected, and up until this point, each of your quest destinations has been waiting for you in the next map. However, the Monastery Catacombs have not been one of them.

In the same way that you had to travel through the swamps and highlands of Sanctuary in order to reach the Monastery Barracks, you will have to travel through a number of different maps and dungeons in order to reach Andariel in the Monastery Catacombs. Along the way of this quest, there will be many powerful, magic-resistant, and named enemies for you to face off against. This quest also represents a bit of an early-game difficulty spike.

In order to defeat the final boss of Act 1 in Diablo 2, you must travel to this location.
In Diablo 2, where exactly are the Monastery Catacombs located?
To begin, you will need to make your way back to the Rogue Monastery. If you did not activate the waypoint, you will need to travel through the Underground Passage in the Stony Field next to the Cairn Stones, the Black Marsh, the Dark Wood, and the Tamoe Highlands before arriving at the Monastery Gate.

You are currently in the Outer Cloister, but there is still a significant distance to travel before you reach the Inner Cloister. You will almost certainly have to do battle with the formidable Smith once more as you make your way through the Barracks in order to reach the staircase that leads down to the Jail. After descending the stairs into the Jail, you will be required to battle your way through three floors of progressively more challenging terrain in order to reach the Inner Cloister.
