Quests: Every Act I–V Quest and Its Rewards — Diablo 2 Resurrected

Diablo 2 Resurrected has 27 quests across five acts. Quest rewards are collected once per difficulty (Normal, Nightmare, Hell); the permanent rewards (skill and stat points, life, resistances) stack across all three. This guide covers every quest, what to do and what you get.

7.Tips

You don't have to spend the Tools of the Trade (imbue) and Siege on Harrogath (socket) rewards right away; you can hold them until you find a good base. An imbued item's level is your character level + 4, so using it at a higher level gives better affixes.
Den of Evil's free respec is available once per difficulty; talk to Akara to use it if you misplaced your points.
If you skipped a quest and moved on to the next difficulty, you can go back to the earlier difficulty, finish the quest and still get its reward.

8.Data Source

Quest rewards are hard-coded in the game; each reward was cross-checked against several sources tracking Diablo 2 Resurrected 3.3 (Reign of the Warlock).
