Grave Matters is a quest in Hellfire. This quest must be accomplished to enter the Crypt, the second set of new levels added in the expansion pack.

* '''Quest Name:''' Grave Matters
* '''Triggered By:''' Finding the Cathedral Map.
* '''Frequency:''' Every game in Hellfire.
* '''Given by:''' Gillian
* '''Location:''' Hive Level 4, then the Town graveyard.
* '''Reward:''' Access to the Crypt.

This quest has two stages. The first is to move through the four levels of the Hive (a location where the Warp skill truly comes in handy).
