Following the arrival of your group in The First Vault, it appears that Horadric magic has been used to prevent you from entering.
Luckily for you, Tyrael knows how to disable these defenses, but it won’t be an easy task since you need to travel into different portals to obtain sigils that need to be brought back.
The first sigil awaits you, and Tyrael is ready to open up a path, which will allow you to obtain the Sigil of Jered Cain.
How To Get The Scribe Quest?
“The Scribe” quest is next in line after the “Doorways to the Distant Past” quest, which is where you previously made it into The First Vault.
The way into the Inner Vault is currently guarded by Horadric magic, and in this quest, you make your way to grab the first sigil out of four to bring back as an attempt to disable the defenses.
The Scribe Walkthrough
Speak with Tyrael, and he will open a portal that leads you to The Silent Scriptorium, which is where the Sigil of Jered Cain can be obtained.
Go through the portal and interact with the Sign Stone, which will remove the barrier ahead, allowing you to continue.
Make your way to the Inner Sanctum, which will be marked on your map, and interact with the Signing Stone before proceeding to the one to the east. (Interact with this one as well)
Head back to speak with Lorath before heading to another signing stone to interact with it, which results in Lorath channeling magic into the signing stones.
Make your way to the Arcane Coffer that is marked on your map and interact with it to obtain the Sigil of Jered Cain and fight your way back to the main chamber.
Horadric Constructs will appear in the area, and you will need to fight your way through them to reach the portal and interact with the Vessel of Cain, which ends the quest.
The Scribe Quest Rewards
After bringing the Sigil of Jered Cain to the Vessel of Cain, the quest will be complete, and a new quest called “The Watchman” will begin.
In addition to the next quest being unlocked, you also receive:
- XP
- Gold
Verdict
After entering the Silent Scriptorium, you and Lorath worked through the Horadric defenses by activating the signing stones hidden throughout the area.
With the path cleared and the Arcane Coffer opened, you were finally able to recover the Sigil of Jered Cain and bring it back to the main chamber.
One of the seals protecting the Inner Vault has now been weakened, but several more remain before the way forward can finally be opened.
