Diablo 4: How To Complete Turbulent Waters Side Quest

To start the Turbulent Waters side quest in Diablo 4, you must first travel to the Backwater Waypoint. Once there, you will have to question the locals as to the whereabouts of Elias. The first local you will encounter is Agata. 

Select the "Has a swordsman and a priest come through here" dialog option when you meet Agata. She will offer no real help. Then, climb the ladder and speed up to the next local north of Backwater: Kiana. Choose the "Have you seen a one-eyed swordsman traveling with a curate?" dialog option. She will be of no real help either, so onto the next.

Further to the right of the area, you will find the third local: Mwinas. Choose the " Have you seen a swordsman and a priest" dialog option. They will make a bad joke (perhaps the worst in all of Diablo 4). After not laughing, proceed to the next local. Head down until you find Nivro. 

Nivro will actually be of help when trying to complete Turbulent Waters in Diablo 4. Here, choose the first dialog option you get. He will tell you that he has seen the men you seek. Then interact with him again, where you must buy some of his wares to go further. 

You will need to buy Cerrigar Red Sky from Nivro for 100 Gold. This bottle of mead will come in handy in a moment. Take this newly acquired mead and give it to Sev, who can be found near the shores south of Backwater in Diablo 4. 

Once you find Sev, interact with him and give him the mead. Then interact with him again and choose the "Where did you leave Elias and Symon?" dialog option. He will proclaim the men you seek went to Esret. After elaborating further, the quest will be complete, rewarding you with 3000 Gold, 33,920 XP, and 20 Hawezar Renown.

And that's how to complete the Turbulent Waters Hawezar Side Quest in Diablo 4. Now, you can continue participating in Part 4 of the questline, "By Three They Come."
