  2. Accept the quest from Leah in Tristram.

Zaven the Alchemist[edit | edit source]

Zaven the Alchemist

Name: Zaven the Alchemist
About: Rare spawn merchant who opens the Mysterious Cave.
Location: Dahlgur Oasis.
Farming Method:
[e]

  1. From the Quest Selection screen take Act II quest No. 6. Betrayer of the Horadrim.
  2. Take the Waypoint in the Hidden Camp to the Path to the Oasis. You'll get a Checkpoint as soon as you materialise.
  3. Go down the Path to the Oasis and into the Dahlgur Oasis
  4. Go right hugging the edge of the map and take the first right. This is a small cul-de-sac with a waterfall and could be where Zaven appears. If not go straight back out and head north.
  5. Hug the right edge of the map and eventually you will come to another identical cul-de-sac. This is the second location Zaven could be. He could be in neither.
  6. If he is not, leave the game and Resume Game to appear back at the Path to the Oasis.

Special Notes:

  • You might consider only looking for the first spot he can appear in as that is so close to the Waypoint in the Path to the Oasis so it is very quick to see he isn't there and restart. You can see by the Dahlgur Oasis map that the spot further north is quite a trek and you'll be pestered by beasties on the way up too.
  • When you've found and saved Zaven the Mysterious Cave will open behind him and this is where you may find the Liquid Rainbow, one of the ingredients needed for the Staff of Herding. It will appear in a Mysterious Chest which has a possibility of spawning (doesn't always).


Larra[edit | edit source]

Larra

Name: Larra
About: Child merchant
Location: Deserted Cellar, Black Canyon Mines.
Farming Method:
[e]

  1. From the Quest Selection screen take Act II quest No. 2. The Road to Alcarnus.
  2. Take the Waypoint in the Hidden Camp to the Black Canyon Mines.
  3. Once you have materialised take a couple of steps to the right. If you see the Blood Cellar door open leave the game and resume as the Deserted Cellar won't appear.
  4. If the Blood Cellar is not there head left and hug the bottom of the map.
  5. Within a very short distance is the first possible location of the Deserted Cellar.
  6. If not there head directly north. At the very north, right hand side of the gate into the Stinging Winds is the other possible spawn location.
  7. If the Deserted Cellar doesn't appear in either place or it doesn't contain what you're looking for, leave and Resume Game to appear back at the waypoint in the Hidden Camp.


Halmin the Alchemist[edit | edit source]

Halmin the Alchemist

Name: Halmin the Alchemist
About: Rare spawn merchant
Location: Level 1 of The Foundry in The Battlefields in Act III.
[e]

  1. From the Quest Selection screen take Act III > quest No. 5. Machines of War.
  2. Head out of Bastion's Keep through the Arreat Gate.
  3. Head left (your character's left) down the steps and then left down more steps.
  4. As you leave the gate and into The Battlefields head to your right below the burning cart.
  5. The Foundry is nearby, relatively central.
  6. Leave and Resume Game if it's not there, no need to explore the rest of The Battlefields.

Special Notes:

  • If Halmin the Alchemist appears it will always be on level 1 in a room with a fireplace in it. Once the mobs in the room are killed, Halmin will get out from under the bed, presumably he was hiding from the monsters there.
