How to Complete In Desperate Times in Diablo 4

With Caldeum all but conquered, you can explore its demon-infested ruins. And there on the table, wouldn’t you know it, is a really boring treatise on the city’s fortifications. And so begins a brand-new quest. Here’s the succinct list of steps you’ll need to complete In Desperate Times, followed by a more in-depth guide below.

• Ask the Watcher’s help by using the “help emote”.
• A Mysterious Chest will appear in front of the statue.

From the Imperial Library Waypoint, head south down the long corridor. At the end of the path, once it opens up into the main entrance, you’ll see a statue to the left of the screen.

This statue is massive, and it seems to depict a dog-like creature sitting on its haunches, with its front paws in the air.

Stand in front of it, then use the emote “help” to get assistance.

To do this:

• Open up your action wheel.
• Select the “help” command, which might be assigned on the left, middle, or right wheel.
• If “help” isn’t assigned to your action wheel, you’ll see a button that says “customize” at the bottom of the wheel.
• Press the button that will allow you to customize, then select “help” from the menu that pops up.
• It will then appear on the wheel menu at the bottom right. You can then select to put the “help” command on your left, middle, or right action wheel.

And… that’s it! Once you’ve signaled for help, you’ll get an Elixir Cache and two class items. From the Elixir Cache, I received a Weak Elixir of Cold Resistance.
