With a more expansive open world that is seamless when crossing from one region to another, there is no doubt that Diablo 4 will have players doing plenty of legwork to progress the story. Then there are also the optional dungeons and side quest content to blow through, adding to the travel distance needed throughout the game.
A great way to reduce the time needed to trek across all five regions in the game is to locate useful waypoints. This makes fast travel a possibility and can cut journeys short to keep players focused on the objectives at hand. For anyone seeking to fully complete the set of all waypoints found in the Dry Steppes in Diablo 4, the key information is right here.

Dry Steppes Waypoints in Diablo 4
As the name suggests, this region is home to harsh terrain and even harsher weather. There is no point in making life harder than it needs to be, which is why it is important to locate all eight waypoints in the Dry Steppes. They are generally located at decent distances from each other, with one exception down to the southwest.
Ked Bardu
The main hub city of the region, this will be a place that players will likely revisit multiple times throughout their time spent in the Dry Steppes. As such, expect a plethora of amenities that can make time in Diablo 4 much easier.
Services include:
- Stash
- Wardrobe
- Healer
- Weapon Vendor
- Armor Vendor
- Amulet/Ring Vendor
- Purveyor of Curiosities
- Stables
- Blacksmith
- Herbalist
- Occultist
- Jeweler
The Onyx Watchtower
A former Stronghold of the enemy, players will have to do the hard work and destroy all enemy resistance in the area before this can be reclaimed by the good people of Sanctuary. The rewards of another waypoint and some services are always good to have.
Services include:
- Weapon Vendor
- Armor Vendor
- Blacksmith
Fate's Retreat
A story-related waypoint that is hard to miss, this will allow players easy access to the eastern part of the Dry Steppes. Expect to revisit the area many times during Act 3.
Services include:
- None
Hidden Overlook
The second story-related waypoint in the region, this will be where players will often meet up with Lorath in order to discuss the next move in the fight against Lilith.
Services include:
- None
Ruins of Qara-Yisu
A former enclave that has fallen on hard times, be sure to locate this waypoint in the southeast portion of the region to make travel much easier in the long run.
Services include:
- Healer
- Weapon Vendor
- Armor Vendor
- Stables

Jirandai
Located on the southern tip of the Dry Steppes, Jirandai is the other major city settlement that can be encountered in the region. It is a key location on the way to Kehjistan, and it is unlikely that players will miss out on this one.
Services include:
- Healer
- Weapon Vendor
- Armor Vendor
- Amulet/Ring Vendor
- Purveyor of Curiosities

Alzuuda
Found in the Fields of Hatred, where PvP action can unfold, head southwest from the central point of Dry Steppes to find this particular waypoint.

Instead of dealing in gold, players must collect Red Dust to engage in some of the services here.
Services include:
- Stash
- Wardrobe
- Healer
- Weapon Vendor
- Purveyor of Curiosities
- PvP Spells
- Stables
- Blacksmith
Farobru
Lastly, there is Farobru, which players can find by heading northeast from Jirandai. Clear out this Stronghold to give the nice people of Sanctuary another place to call home.
Services include:
- Healer
- Weapon Vendor
- Amulet/Ring Vendor
- Stables
- Blacksmith
With all eight waypoints activated in the Dry Steppes, the journey through the desert region in Diablo 4 just got smoother. Be sure to also do the same for the other four regions in the game, as the Renown reward is a great way to unlock valuable bonuses like more potion capacity and bonus XP to help Diablo players level up.
Diablo 4 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
