You will unlock the Recruit the Vaal Interlude Quest upon finishing The Search, the main quest for Act 4.

After the events of Act 4, talk to The Hooded One in Kingsmarch and select the Travel to Mount Kriar option.
Once you are in The Refuge, talk to The Hooded One and Doryani.

Enter the Ashen Forest through the entrance in The Glade. Proceed to the opposite side of the area and look for the entrance to Kriar Village.

Once inside Kriar Village, explore the area until you find an isolated path that leads to the Lythara boss fight.

Lythara, The Wayward Spear uses quick poison-based combos and attacks to deal damage. Upon defeating this boss, you will unlock the entrance to the Glacial Tarn nearby.

The Glacial Tarn is a vast tundra full of enemies that deal cold and poison damage. Explore the area until you find a narrow cave leading to the Rakkar boss area.

One of the main things to watch out for with Rakkar, The Frozen Talon would be its high AoE cold attacks. Make sure to boost your cold resistance when fighting this boss! After the fight, the entrance to Kriar Peaks will be unlocked.

Explore Kriar Peaks and look for the snowy narrow path up the mountain. At the top, you will see a structure that leads to the Etched Ravine.
The Etched Ravine has a linear and straightforward layout. Fight through the waves of enemy packs within the area until you reach the opposite end.

Stormgore, The Guardian will be waiting at the end of the Etched Ravine. Aside from Stormgore's lightning-infused attacks, watch out for the several robot enemies that come to life during the fight!
Upon defeating the boss, you will unlock the entrance to The Cuachic Vault.

Go through the maze-like halls of The Cuachic Vault and look for the path leading to Zolin and Zelina, this Interlude Quest's, final boss fight.

As you explore The Cuachic Vault, you may encounter Sealed Vaults with Stone Altars nearby. To unlock these vaults, you will need to look for Small Soul Cores also found within the area. Small Soul Cores, show up as green exclamation points on your mini map, making them easier to spot!
The vaults inside can contain valuable loot that can help you get stronger gear, so make sure to unlock them!

Zolin, Blood Priest and Zelina, Blood Priestess are the final bosses of this Interlude Quest. You will need to navigate through their constant barrage of AoE spells and attacks. Upon defeating one of them, the remaining boss powers up and will continue to attack you.
Upon defeating both bosses, Doryani will interfere and stop the fight. Talk to Doryani to conclude the quest.
