In addition to the massive variety of "normal" monsters roaming the land, you'll regularly come face-to-face with special monsters.Ĭhampion monsters have their names displayed in blue. You have the opportunity to explore as much or as little as you'd like to, but you should always search carefully and find waypoints to ensure that you can move efficiently through the game world. Once you've unlocked a waypoint, you can then return to that area at any time, so they're very important anchors to your progress through the game.

In order to return to the site of your last battle, you can run back, retracing your steps, or use a waypoint. Instead, you'll appear at your last checkpoint, or in the closest safe location: usually a nearby town or camp.

If you ended your game in the middle of a dungeon or wilderness, you won't reappear there when you load your character. It's important to exit your game in this fashion (rather than simply turning off your PC or Console) in order to make certain your progress saves correctly. Your game is also saved when you're done playing and choose the "Leave Game" or "Exit Diablo III" options from the Game Menu. Your game state (including experience you've gained, loot you've acquired, and quests you've completed) will be automatically saved as you progress and reach checkpoints. You don't have to manually save your game in order to pick up where you left off. Though all act bosses drop guaranteed legendary items for characters of levels 1-59, when using the Reset Quests feature, the boss of act IV will drop a guaranteed legendary item for level 60 characters, and the boss of act V will drop a guaranteed legendary item for characters of levels 61-70.Ĭheckpoints are often associated with new areas or quest objectives.ĭiablo III's randomization supports replayability, but it also means that saving your progress is handled in a unique manner. Quests you complete after this reset will grant extra rewards. You will begin the campaign in Act I, and all of your quest progress (and waypoints) will be reset – quests must be completed and waypoints unlocked again as if you’re playing through the game for the first time. If you want to replay the game’s story mode, you can access the Reset Quests feature from the Game Settings Menu (PC). More often than not, quests will be given to you by your closest allies, but on occasion, you'll find that the world itself presents you with a path to tread, a foe to slay, or other "opportunities." Some quests have bonus objectives, optional tasks that can be worth extra experience and gold. Quests provide rewards of gold, experience, and items.
