The “Deeds of a Champion” quest in Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred can cause confusion for some players, who mistake a progression requirement for a bug. This guide will show you how to locate Sihek and move forward with the quest.

What’s the Issue with Sihek?
“Deeds of a Champion” is part of the Vessel of Hatred expansion and an essential quest given by Ormus. During the quest, players explore the new area, Nahantu, and the three-level dungeon Kurast Undercity, where rare loot awaits.
The problem arises when some players cannot find Sihek, a council member crucial to the quest. Many assume this is a bug, but that’s not the case.
Why Can’t You Find Sihek?
Sihek doesn’t appear above ground unless you complete a specific prerequisite quest: “Undercity: The Promise.” If you haven’t finished all related mercenary quests in the Undercity, including this one, Sihek will remain trapped below, making him unavailable for the “Deeds of a Champion” quest.
How to Fix the Issue
- Go to the Lower City and complete all pending quests, particularly “Undercity: The Promise.”
- Once you’ve finished these tasks, return to the location where Sihek is supposed to appear.
- You’ll now find Sihek, and the “Deeds of a Champion” quest will proceed as intended.
Next Steps
After completing “Deeds of a Champion,” you’ll move on to the “Lessons of Vice” quest line. Finishing this will reward you with the legendary item set, Garb of the Sinister Intent.
In summary, the issue isn’t a bug but a matter of quest dependencies. Completing the relevant quests in the Undercity will unlock Sihek, allowing you to continue your adventure without further trouble.
