Read this route alongside the October 7 tuning
Blizzard re-deployed 3.0.1 to live on October 19; its hotfix post that day lists build 24371. The 3.0.1 changes described here now apply to the live game. Kingy has not retested them in an installed client.
This guide follows the cited September recording. In 3.0.1, Blizzard increases health and damage for most prologue bosses and reduces Garek’s Sweeping Strike to 100/150/200. The recorded objectives remain the route evidence; combat pace, boss statistics and difficulty-specific tactics have not been retested on 3.0.1.
The opening quest is The Sewers. Its requirements are exploration and the survival of both Garek and Landen. The dialogue tells the fighting group to lead while civilians remain behind.
Advance with both heroes and the surviving soldiers through the connected sewer passages. Clear the enemies blocking the group before moving the heroes into another room.

Use the minimap to keep track of explored corridors. The recording passes cell-lined rooms, a broad central channel and stair crossings before the exit checkpoint; the timestamped recording provides visual landmarks when similar corridors become confusing.
On screen: Midway through the sewers, the heroes and soldiers fight a Sludge Monstrosity on a walkway beside a wide green channel, with a dark stone crossing spanning it.

Keep an injured hero behind the fighting line and inspect available health supplies between encounters. This is Kingy’s recovery advice; the recording does not prove a required talent or equipment build.
At 21:32 the force approaches the guard near the exit stairs. At 22:02 the game marks The Sewers complete. Landen then gathers the survivors and leaves them with a soldier.
Continue through the sewer route until you reach the guard at the stairs and the completion message appears. Reaching an earlier cell or stairway is not the same checkpoint.

On screen: Landen sends everyone to the surface, Garek tells the Captain to take the survivors to Andorhal without him, the conversation plays out in the sewer, then the two heroes stand alone and MAIN QUEST The Rot Within lists Defeat Rivendare and Garek and Landen must survive.

At 22:52 the new quest names Rivendare as the target and still requires both heroes to survive. The recorded route continues through a lower passage, cave creatures and a chamber strewn with bones before the confrontation.
Take Garek and Landen along the passage beyond the handoff. Clear the creatures along the cave route instead of leaving one hero behind in combat.
On screen: After the civilian handoff the quest changes to The Rot Within, naming Rivendare and keeping both survival conditions, as Garek and Landen head down the passage.

On screen: Garek and Landen cross a dark cave with purple crystals and green fungus (Landen remarks on the broodmother's death), then reach a stone chamber with bones, blood and a Circle of Power.

Follow the encounter and allow its story sequence to finish. When the quest changes, follow the new requirement in the next section; the earlier target is no longer the instruction for the escape.Spoiler clip · The Rot Within completes and the chamber scene plays out · reveal
On screen: MAIN QUEST COMPLETED: The Rot Within appears while Garek and Landen stand in the bone chamber with the gold-aura level 10 enemy, then a cutscene plays with Landen and Garek face to face and close shots of Landen until the fade.

The ending changes to The Final Order. At 28:21, only Garek is under player control and the objective requires getting him to safety. The loss of Landen during this scripted sequence is part of the recorded progression; this guide does not establish an alternate rescue outcome.
Move Garek along the escape passage. Keep him moving toward safety rather than returning to the previous confrontation.
On screen: Checkpoint Reached, and the main quest becomes The Final Order (bring Garek to safety; Garek must survive); Garek, now alone, runs along the sewer passage while Rivendare taunts him.

When Garek calls out the support pillars, break them to put debris in the pursuer’s path. The instruction appears at 28:36; the cave and debris checkpoint follows at 28:56.
On screen: The quest changes to The Final Order (bring Garek to safety; Garek must survive) and Garek says breaking the support pillars should put debris in the pursuer’s way; he then runs on through the cave.

Continue through the cave and sewer route with Garek alive. Use available health supplies if needed and avoid stopping for an extended fight during the escape.
On screen: Garek, alone, runs past the fallen rubble in the cave, then along sewer pipes and green sludge pools onto stone walkways, without stopping to fight, until Rivendare's taunt plays as he nears a wall door.

Reach the outside guard and let the ending conversation finish. The recording shows the reunion at 30:11. Continue to Siege when the game offers the next chapter.
