Torment Difficulties

Tree of Whispers

Nightmare Dungeons

World Bosses

Helltide Events

Pit of Artificers

Fields of Hatred (PvP)

Paragon Points

Echo of Lilith (Level 100 Boss)

 

Below, we'll cover each of these activities in more detail.

 

Torment Difficulties

With Season 6, the classic World Tier difficulties have been replaced by Torment Difficulties, which become available after Level 60. To unlock Torment I, you need to complete Level 20 of the Pit of Artificers.

 

  • Torment 1 is equivalent to the former World Tier 4 but with increased difficulty and rewards.

  • Progressing through Torment levels unlocks better loot, including Sacred and Ancestral Legendaries.

 

Tree of Whispers

This feature opens after completing the campaign, offering bounties across Sanctuary that grant Grim Favors. These favors can be exchanged for high-tier rewards at the Tree of Whispers.

 

  • Higher-level bounties yield better rewards, including Legendary Diablo 4 items and endgame materials.

  • This is a great way to keep leveling your character and farming equipment after the campaign.

 

Nightmare Dungeons

Nightmare Dungeons offer increased difficulty through Nightmare Sigils earned from the Tree of Whispers.

 

  • Sigils turn any regular dungeon into a Nightmare Dungeon with additional random affixes, such as portals spawning enemies or lightning strikes.

  • Higher-tier Nightmare Dungeons provide greater rewards but are significantly more challenging.

 

World Bosses

After completing the campaign, World Bosses begin appearing on the map at specific times.

 

  • Bosses such as Ashava, Avarice, and Wandering Death spawn a few times daily.

  • Defeating them yields valuable loot, including Legendaries and rare materials.

 

Helltide Events

Helltide events occur every other hour, transforming regions into demonic battlegrounds with tougher enemies and falling meteors.

 

  • Helltide monsters drop Aberrant Cinders, which can be used to unlock Tortured Gifts in the event area.

  • These events are excellent for farming Legendary gear and high-tier materials.

  • Helltide regions are marked with a red hue on the map when active.

 

Pit of Artificers

The Pit of Artificers, or simply "the Pit," is a 150-level random dungeon that offers intense challenges for advanced players.

 

  • To unlock the Pit, reach Level 60 and interact with the obelisk in Cerrigar.

  • Each level of the Pit has a 15-minute timer—defeat monsters, fill the progress bar, and slay the boss before time runs out.

  • You'll need Artificer Stones to enter, which can be obtained from Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide events, and the Tree of Whispers.

  • Completing levels rewards Paragon Glyphs for enhanced character customization.

 

Fields of Hatred (PvP)

The Fields of Hatred are dedicated PvP areas where players collect Seeds of Hatred and exchange them for Red Dust at the Altars of Extraction.

 

  • Red Dust can be spent on cosmetics.

  • Beware: Other players can kill you and steal your Seeds of Hatred!

  • If you prefer PvE, you can disable PvP via the Emote Wheel before entering the Fields.

 

Paragon Points

After reaching Level 50, you no longer earn Skill Points but instead gain Paragon Points.

 

  • Use these points to unlock nodes on the Paragon Board, enhancing your stats and unlocking additional bonuses.

  • Higher levels grant access to more advanced Paragon Boards to further specialize your character.

 

Codex of Power

The Codex of Power allows you to track Aspects you've unlocked from completing dungeons and extracting gear.

 

  • These Aspects turn regular cheap Diablo 4 items into Legendary gear, making the Codex an essential tool for build optimization.

  • Completing more dungeons and endgame activities expands your collection of Aspects.

 

Echo of Lilith (Level 100 Boss)

The Echo of Lilith is the final boss challenge for Diablo 4, designed for Level 100 characters.

 

  • She can be fought in the Echo of Hatred and has two deadly phases.

  • Her attacks are fast and can one-shot players, making preparation and strategy crucial.

  • This fight is intended to test the limits of your character build and mastery of the game's mechanics.

 

What Should You Focus On?

After completing the campaign, Diablo 4 offers a wealth of activities to dive into. Whether you want to challenge yourself with Torment Difficulties, explore Nightmare Dungeons, or hunt World Bosses, there's something for everyone. For PvP lovers, the Fields of Hatred provide adrenaline-filled battles, while PvE players can farm Helltide events and complete Tree of Whispers bounties. The Pit of Artificers stands as the ultimate test of skill, while the Echo of Lilith awaits those seeking the pinnacle of difficulty.

 

No matter your playstyle, Diablo 4's endgame ensures that the grind for loot, power, and glory never truly ends.
