==Shadows in the Desert Walkthrough==
Go [[File:Hidden footprints.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Hidden Footprints!]]After getting the quest from [[Leah]] in the [[Hidden Camp]] head to [[Caldeum Bazaar]] and speak with [[Asheara]]. She will instruct you to go to the [[Khasim Outpost]] which you can reach by leaving the city through the north east gate and down the [[Sundered Canyon]].  Before leaving the [[Hidden Camp]] check near [[Nek the Brawler]], underneath the tent you should see Leah's Belongings. Inside that will be [[Leah's Journal, Part 8]] which you need for the [[Judge of Character]] achievement. 
Soon after you leave the city you will run into [[Eirena]] the [[Enchantress]] who agrees to accompany you.
In the short canyon you'll encounter [[Lacuni Huntress]]es and [[Sand Wasp]]s and with their fireball and stinger missile attacks respectively they can overpower you fairly quickly.
In the short canyon you'll encounter [[Lacuni Huntress]]es and [[Sand Wasp]]s and with their fireball and stinger missile attacks respectively they can overpower you fairly quickly, don't underestimate the quantity of simultaneous projectiles. At the end of the canyon, the enchantress will dispel the illusion of boulders created by the [[Cultist]]s which blocks your path.  [[File:Hidden conclave ritual.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Disrupt the rituals]]After speaking with the [[Iron Wolves]] continue through the [[Sundered Canyon]] and into the [[Howling Plateau]]. The [[Enchantress]] will keep referring to hidden footsteps; follow the these footsteps to locate the two dungeons ([[Secret Altar]] and [[Hidden Conclave]]) to disrupt the rituals taking place there.These rituals are what prevents you from crossing the [[Black Canyon Bridge]] to [[Alcarnus]]. 
Once into the [[Howling Plateau]] head right as the [[Secret Altar]] always appears on the right of the map, whereas the [[Hidden Conclave]] is north west which is also the way out of the area.
 
Both dungeons are similar scenarios with two or three [[Pain Monger]]s immediately challenging you and further in a group of [[Cultist]]s performing a ritual on a poor [[Prisoner]]. These fights will be easy. Check the floor of the [[Secret Altar]] for [[Cain's Lost Satchel]] which will contain some lore in a satchel.
 
 
If you can disrupt both rituals within four minutes you will earn the [[achievement]] [[Hiding in Plain Sight]]. Although there is no in game clock you have four minutes '''from the time you accept''' the quest form [[Leah]] in the [[Hidden Camp]] to find and disrupt both of the rituals.
 
 
Possible locations of the [[Hidden Conclave]] and [[Secret Altar]] are indicated on the [[Howling Plateau map]].
 
 
Once the rituals have been disrupted head north to the [[Black Canyon Bridge]] and speak again with the [[Enchantress]] and then it's onwards to [[The Road to Alcarnus]].
