The location of cairn stones in Diablo 2 Resurrected and how to activate them are part of the quest chain. You have to find a circle of standing stones and use them to open the portal. However, things are rarely as simple as they seem in Diablo, and this is no exception. Finding the Cairn Stones is a headache in and off itself, but figuring out how to make them work is even worse.
To activate the Cairn Stones, you need to first find them and then activate them. Since finding the stones is the easy bit you don’t have to worry much about it, but activating the stones requires you to take on a new boss, which may in fact be the toughest in the game so far. You are required to activate the Cairn Stones as part of ‘The Search for Cain’ quest. The quest requires you to find six stones and then activate them to solve the puzzle. Stick with us through the guide and we will show you how to activate Cairn Stones in Diablo 2 Resurrected. Also, we will share how you can find the stones.
Where to Find Diablo 2 Resurrected Cairn Stones Location
To find the Cairn Stones location in Diablo 2 Resurrected, you have to search the Stony Field area. Unfortunately, due to the maps being randomly generated, we can’t really point you to the exact place, but they will be somewhere in the Stony Field zone.It’s basically a set of five standing stones in the shape of a pentagon, with a sixth standing stone nearby. However, that sixth stone doesn’t do much of anything, but at least you can use it for orientation, I guess. Either way, once you find the Cairn Stones, there’s still the matter of activating them, which brings us to our next point.
If you do everything right a portal to Tristram will appear in the centre of Cairn Stones.
Now you know how Cairn Stones Diablo 2 work, but that’s not the end of the quest. Now you need to find and rescue Cain in Tristram. So enter the portal and go searching for a cage that rises above the ground in the very centre of Tristram. It is called Cain’s Gibbet.
How to Activate Cairn Stones in Diablo 2 Resurrected
To activate the Diablo 2 Resurrected Cairn Stones once you’ve found their location, you’ll have to go through a long detour. There’s an underground passage that links the stone circle to the Dark Forest, so head that way. You will have to interact with the Tree of Inifuss once you get to the forest, but there will be a boss called Treehead Woodfist trying to stop you. You can defeat the creature or just run past and get to the tree; that’s entirely your choice. Once you interact with the Tree of Inifuss, you should get a schematic of the order you need to interact with the standing stones. This is also randomized, meaning we can’t give you an exact solution. Head back to Stony Field and complete the puzzle to open the portal.
Once you come this far, much of the hard bit is done. Now, you need to return to Akara and open a portal by interacting with the stones. The order of the stones varies from game to game just like much of the things in Diablo 2 Resurrected. Opening the portal will bring some more enemies and Cain. Defeating all the enemies will complete the quest.
