Diablo II Hints
How do I solve the "Cairn Stones" quest?
1 of 16: You should be somewhat experienced to try this quest, since it is the toughest yet.
2 of 16: You must either talk to Akara after completing the first two quests or find the Tree of Inifuss to start this quest.
3 of 16: If you talk to Akura, she will send you to find Deckard Cain in Tristram.
4 of 16: She also tells you about the Tree of Inifuss. You will need to find it to learn the pattern for the Cairn Stones that lets you reach Tristram.
5 of 16: Start looking in the Stony Field.
6 of 16: You should find a path that leads to an underground tunnel.
7 of 16: Follow the tunnel, and you should wind up in the Dark Wood.
8 of 16: After some fighting, you will need to get a scroll.
9 of 16: Click on the tree to recover the Bark Scroll.
10 of 16: Akara will help you to read the scroll.
11 of 16: Then go back to the Cairn Stones in the Stony Field.
12 of 16: Touch the stones in the right order (as indicated on the scroll), and a portal to old Tristram is opened.
13 of 16: Be prepared for a fierce battle.
14 of 16: In the center of town, you will find Deckard Cain.
15 of 16: Click on Deckard's cage to release him.
16 of 16: A tour of the town will reveal some interesting bonuses, which will give you a leg up on future quests.
