Diablo 4 is filled with quests that need to be completed. There are quests that are central to the story that need to be completed to move on, but there are also tons of different side quests that can earn you worthwhile rewards.
One of the many quests in Diablo 4 you will probably encounter will be the Chasing Embers quest, which is part of a quest chain in Scosglen. In order to complete this one, you will need to complete some other quests first.
Diablo 4 Season 9 Players Shouldn’t Overlook an Activity Hidden in Plain Sight
Diablo 4 Season 9 has a wide variety of game modes for players to participate in, but the ongoing event has increased the value of one activity.
How to Get Chasing Embers in Diablo 4
In order to even pick up the Diablo 4 side quest called Chasing Embers, you will need to complete the beginning of its quest chain. The first of these quests will begin at the Fat Goose Inn, which is located in Highland Winds in Scosglan. Here is the quest chain:
- Remembering the Goose: Speak to Torben in the Fat Goose Inn in the Diablo 4 location of Scosglen.
- Claws at the Throat: Find the dead body southwest of the inn, then go back to the Inn and talk to NPCs.
- Pyre of Ash: Finish Claws at the Throat.
- Chasing Embers: Finish Pyre of Ash.
- The Beast of Blackweald.
Like Pyre of Ash, Chasing Embers begins immediately after finishing the previous quest. You need to return to the Goose once more to talk to Torben, who agrees that Blackweald Company needs to be eliminated. Go east to the marked area called The Scar, and locate the Pyre Victim. You must save them from the pyre, then you will learn of the location of the survivor from the old Blackweald Company; this will complete Chasing Embers.
Fixing the Chasing Embers Bugged in Diablo 4
This Diablo 4 quest has been bugged since release, and it is still bugged at time of writing. If you want to complete this quest and continue the chain, there are a couple of things you can try to complete it. The bug occurs when you walk up to the pyre; Torben is supposed to say "I hear a live one; hurry!" You get a message that he is no longer following you.
For many people, when you walk up to the quest marker, nothing happens. There are a couple of fixes you can try to get the line you need to keep the quest moving. Most of these suggestions from across the web work about half the time, so you may need to try more than one to fix it.
- Try heading back to the Goose and speaking with Torben again.
- Try dropping the quest then picking it back up.
- Teleport back to town, then head back to the pyre.
- Try shutting the game off and turning it back on again.
- Kill all the mobs in the area, then return to the pyre.
A Diablo 4 update in July of 2025 was supposed to address this issue, and it seems to have made it better for some people; however, the bug is still in the game at the time of writing.
