Hero’s Call is a late-game quest that only appears in Act 3 on the Bellhart Wishwall. The primary requirement is to encounter the traveling duo, Garmond and Zaza, multiple times throughout your journey across Pharloom.

The wish typically becomes available after you have met them enough times that Hornet expresses concern and suggests they should rest. Some of their known locations include:

  • Act 1: A cell in Greymoor, near a corpse in Bilewater, and at the far right end of Sinner’s Road.
  • Act 2: Fighting enemies in the Choral Chambers and later resting in Songclave.
  • Act 3: Fighting void-infested enemies in various areas of The Marrow.
