Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred offers a wealth of new adventures in the Nahantu region, featuring fresh dungeons, engaging world events, and intriguing side quests. Among them is the "Tenets of Depravity" quest line, where players embark on a mission to track down a captain from the Burning Knights.
Completing the "Tenets of Depravity" series is crucial for the "Deeds of a Champion" quest, which becomes available after the main campaign ends. However, you can undertake the "Tenets of Depravity" quests at any stage. Here’s a detailed guide on how to successfully navigate each quest in this storyline.
Tenets of Depravity: Sacrament of the Faithless Quest Guide
The first quest in the sequence, titled Tenets of Depravity: Sacrament of the Faithless, can be initiated from two possible spots: you can either speak with a guard in Kurast Bazaar or Kurast Docks. Once you start the quest, your objectives will remain the same regardless of your entry point.
After beginning the quest, your task is to locate Faith’s Torch, a camp for the Burned Knights, situated in Seven Stones in Nahantu. To get there, move south from Kurast Docks, making sure to check the northwest corner of the area. Upon arrival, you’ll need to converse with Priest Dmitriy, who is currently imprisoned.
Following a brief cutscene, defeat the Berserk Burned Knight and speak to Dmitriy once more. Collect the Account of Captain Kharvo’s Madness and then proceed to Gea Kul to seek out the Cathedral of Light Authority, located in the northern part of the area.
Speak to Prava to finish this segment of the quest, which will instantly kick off the next part: Tenets of Depravity: An End to Suffering.

Once you’ve completed the Sacrament of the Faithless, make your way back to Faith’s Torch. Examine the body of the slain Knight and then enter the Knight Command Quarters.
Inside, you will face off against several attacking Burning Knights. After dispatching them, talk to Priest Dmitriy again. This will conclude the quest and trigger the next one, Tenets of Depravity: Companion to Madness.

To begin this quest, head south from Faith’s Torch to Seared Revelation, which is another camp of the Burned Knights. The campsite is located roughly in the middle of the search area, near the circular section of the map. Speak to Marzhan the Scribe as you arrive, and then venture into the Blood-Slicked Pit to fend off the enemies.
Once you’ve cleared the area, talk to Marzhan again to complete the quest and immediately move on to Tenets of Depravity: Scion of Blasphemies.

Begin your journey by traveling east from Seared Revelation to find the Temple of the Profane. Look for the entrance located in the upper left corner of the search area. After speaking with Marzhan again, enter the temple.
Within the dungeon, you need to locate and defeat Pharos, then take his Condemned Trophy to unlock the Temple Gate and gain access to the Chamber of Slaughter. Cross through and eliminate the enemies that ambush you as you proceed deeper into the dungeon.
Next, seek out Grigoriy to obtain his Condemned Trophy as well. Continue beyond him and use the trophy to open the Temple Gate, surviving another ambush in the second Chamber of Slaughter.
Delve further into the Hall of the Unworthy, where you’ll find Viktor along with the third Condemned Trophy. Use this trophy on the door leading to the Vault of the Demigod to enter.
Once inside, confront and defeat Kharov to finish the quest. Upon Kharov’s defeat, you’ll receive experience, gold, crafting materials, Nahantu Renown, and the title of Faith’s Torch. Additionally, completing this quest allows you to wrap up or continue the Deeds of a Champion quest after the main campaign has concluded.
