[[Image:FallenStarRumfordZombies.jpg|left|thumb|175px|Rumford fighting.]]The Fallen Star quest begins with [[Captain Rumford]] who is battling zombies outside the gates to [[Tristram]]. Once the quest is accepted more zombies will appear. Once they are dead the captain orders the guard to open the gates so you may enter [[Tristram]]. There is a an opportunity to earn an [[CheckpointAchievement]] here. Kill all the [[Zombies]] within 15 seconds and earn 10 achievement points and the achievement [[Gate Crasher]]. This is easier to do when you have some decent skills at your disposal, turrets, traps, pets, [[AoE]] spells for example which you can prepare before speaking with Rumford and triggering the invisible timer. But if you like the challenge try with the basic attacks of your brand new character.
Kill them for the captain and he'll ask you to carry on along the path to [[The Old Ruins]] to more zombies and their Queen. You'll get another Checkpoint as the path changes into the [[Old Tristram Road]]. You'll encounter [[Walking Corpse]]s and more Risen here. None should present any problems.
[[Image:WretchedQueen.jpg|left|thumb|175px|Appropriately-named Wretched Queen.]]When you get to the more open area of the [[Old Tristram Road ]] you should see red markers on the mini map when you are close by the [[Wretched Mother]]. You need to find three of these. Once they're found and killed carry on along the road to [[The Old Ruins]] and seek out the [[Wretched Queen]]. You'll get another checkpoint just as you enter the Ruins. The Ruins has have [[Quill Fiend]], [[Risen]], [[Walking Corpse]]s and of course the Queen. Much like the Wretched Mothers, she is able to vomit up zombies, the difference being that she has more hitpoints and is able to summon the zombies a bit faster than the mothers can.
Take the [[Waypoint]] back to Tristram and speak with Captain Rumford again. Another Checkpoint and your quest reward.
'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''' [[Checkpoint]] reached around this stage in the quest. This means you can quit out and '''Resume''' your game at a later date and begin at this point - in effect it's a Save Game point.
