Level up your Nightmare Dungeon farming to get faster experience points, collect a huge amount of unique and legendary items, and boost your damage output through Paragon Points and the leveling of rare glyphs.
By using these tips and tricks, you’ll speed up your progression in Diablo 4, achieving greater efficiency and making the most of your gaming time.
In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about nightmare dungeons. How nightmare dungeons work, why you should do them, which nightmare dungeons are the best to farm and tips on how to approach nightmare dungeons more efficiently.
To get into nightmare dungeons, you’ll first need to get to 50, clear the capstone dungeon, and transition into World Tier 3. I recommend getting your first nightmare sigil from opening Whisper Caches.
Using a Nightmare Sigil in the consumables tab will transform a normal dungeon into a nightmare dungeon. Mob level is determined by a combination of the Sigil Tier and your current World Tier plus 50. Nightmare Sigils have Positive and Negative affixes that are worth paying attention to.
Nightmare Dungeons are essential for any Diablo 4 player because currently it is the best way to farm gear, experience points, and the only way to level glyphs.
Nightmare Dungeons have the highest mob density in the game, and the least amount of distance between groups of enemies making it the perfect way to farm anything, such as Diablo 4 Gold. The ending screen also gives 4 bonus equipment drops, 2 of which are likely to be legendary.
Nightmare Dungeons are also the only way to level up your rare glyphs for that extra damage.
Not all Nightmare Dungeons are created equal. Some dungeons have poorly designed tile sets and objectives, leading to running into dead ends and doubling back more often than other nightmare dungeons, ending up with a lower experience points per hour.
The best nightmare dungeons for efficiency are going to have the highest mob density, the least amount of traveling between groups of enemies, and the simplest dungeon objectives.
Let’s go over which nightmare dungeons are the best and why.
Starting with Sarat’s Lair.
This nightmare dungeon has zero downside. Not only is it dense, but you’re also going up against spider type enemies. When you kill spider enemies, they blow up into even more spiders, making this dungeon one of the best XP per hour farms in the game.
Sarat’s Lair is also one of the few dungeons to end with a boss that is centered somewhere on the map. After completing all of the objectives, just run to the larger sized room to finish off this nightmare dungeon.
Uldur’s Cave is recommended by most players for a reason.
You will be ambushed by mobs and elites non stop in this nightmare dungeon. Think of it as a free group of elites and mobs without the need to run to them. The different layouts are usually straightforward and easy to navigate, meaning less frustration vs some of the bottom tier maps.
Uldur’s Cave has the potential to be one of the best elite enemies farm in the game.
Mariner’s Refuge is another nightmare dungeon where the boss resides in a potentially centralized portion of the map, making it impossible to double back to find the boss.
Mariner’s Refuge has two simple objectives. The first objective is to destroy 3 structures located around the edges of the map. And the 2nd objective is just to defeat the boss.
Of course mob density is great, but the thing that makes Mariner’s Refuge shine is the circular map. Run one lap around the map, and by the time you finish the lap, you’ll also be running back to the boss.
Dead Man’s Dredge ever since the beginning of the game has been a fan favorite for leveling. The layout is a mix of both linear, meaning a straight path followed by small loops.
The first portion collecting the animus from elites will always involve some form of doubling back, but the last objective saving the prisoners won’t. Hug the wall all the way around, saving every prisoner. An elite will spawn on top of you, which will finish off the dungeon.
Immortal Emanation has both an incredibly easy layout, easy objectives, and loads of enemies.
The first objective will be to destroy 4 structures in a circle, all of which spawn elites by the way, and end with a boss fight. I would have to say this is probably one of the fastest dungeons to clear in the game, making it the perfect nightmare dungeon for glyph leveling.
My only problem with Immortal Emanation is spirit type enemies and vampire type enemies are my least favorite to go up against.
Other honorable mentions for great nightmare dungeons are: Mercy’s Reach, Komdor Temple, Charnel House, Nostrava Deepwood, Pallid Delve, and Tomb of the Saints.
If you encounter any difficulties while farming Nightmare Dungeons, you can check out our Diablo 4 Boosting service.
Here are my top tips for any players that are looking to maximize their experience while grinding nightmare dungeons.
My number one tip for you is to take advantage of the Occultists’ Salvage and crafting system for Nightmare Sigils.
First, make sure to pick up every nightmare sigil you find, even for low tier dungeons. Next, salvage every nightmare sigil with either a bad dungeon or a bad affix. Craft more Nightmare Sigils and repeat the process until you run out of powder. Now, you should have a generous amount of sigils to spam until you run out.
For my next tip, avoid menus at all costs. If your goal is to level as fast as you can, every time you open your inventory or feel the need to hang out in town and talk to the NPCs, you’re losing valuable time. I avoid NPCs and menus by being extremely selective in what I pick up during a dungeon. If I’m leveling but I need a certain Legendary Aspect, I’ll choose to only pick up Legendary drops and nothing else.
Tip number 3 is all about speeding up your clear times. An ideal clear speed for nightmare dungeons is between 3 and 5 minutes. If your clear times are higher than 5 minutes, you have some troubleshooting to do. If your sigil tier is too high, consider running a lower tier, faster clears will always result in better xp per hour. Movement speed is really powerful for faster nightmare dungeon clears, try to always have move speed on your feet and amulet. There are even legendary aspects that can greatly increase your move speed.
In this guide, we’ll take a deep dive into the exciting changes coming to Helltide in Diablo 4 Season 4, which starts around May 14th. From dynamic gameplay events to improved drop mechanics, Helltide is becoming a game changer.
We’ve seen a few changes to Helltide in the past, but nothing quite like these, and here’s a quick overview of what’s coming soon.
Multiple new events make Helltide gameplay feel more dynamic, opening up helltide-specific drops to other areas and bringing outside drops into Helltide. All in all, Helltide is probably the best leveling place in Season 4. Let’s get right to the point.
Helltide in Diablo 4 is a game feature unlocked after completing the story. You can tell Helltide is happening by the red appearance on the map. They will go up for 55 minutes, go down for 5 minutes, and then appear again in a new area.
When you enter Helltide, you’ll see new elements in the heads up display in the upper right corner, including your Aberrant Cinders, Baneful Heart, and the bar that determines your level of threat in Helltide.
All enemies in Helltide have a chance to drop Aberrant Cinders, which can be used to open special chests called Tortured Gifts. Tortured Gifts are located in fixed and random locations around Helltide. Their icons on the map determine the types of items you can get when you open them, and they cost between 50 and 275 Aberrant Cinders to open.
There are 2 unique chest types, and Gift of Mysteries chests provide a wide variety of crafting materials and Diablo 4 items. If you want to farm the endgame boss Grigoire, you need to target Tortured Gift of Living Steel. This boss has its own target farming loot table and is one of four bosses that can now be farmed for Uber Uniques.
Keep in mind that when you’re defeated in Helltide, you lose half of your Aberrant Cinders, making targeting expensive Tortured Gifts very dangerous.
Sometimes you’ll encounter Doomsayer Pira, and interacting with Pira will cause random things to happen, such as spawning enemies, spawning Goblin, and even spawning new, cheaper Tortured Gifts.
As you play Helltide, defeating enemies and opening Tortured Gifts will increase your Threat Meter. The higher the meter, the more ambushes you’ll encounter as you continue through Helltide. Your Threat Meter can be found in the upper right corner.
Maximizing the meter will start a new Helltide event where you will be constantly ambushed. The meter decreases as you approach the final ambush. The final ambush will include a new elite enemy called Hellborn, which will be harder to defeat than typical elite enemies.
Collecting Baneful Hearts mainly occurs when opening any Tortured Gifts in Helltide. You will see how many Baneful Hearts you have in the upper right corner. These can be spent at Accursed Ritual locations in Helltide, and finding these locations requires you to be within a certain distance of the event before you can see it on the map.
When you arrive at the event location, you’ll see 3 Accursed Altars, each of which requires a Baneful Heart to activate. It is worth mentioning that activating Accursed Altar can be done by different players.
This event is very similar to Blood Lure Pedestals during Season 2 Blood Harvest. Once activated, the area will spawn waves of enemies, all of which help to free the boss in the center.
Eventually, Blood Maiden will appear. This enemy is powerful, can deal high damage, and has a large health pool similar to World Boss. During each phase of Blood Maiden, they will fire telegraph projectiles in random directions, which will also spawn 4 Hellborn enemies.
Throughout the battle, be careful when you become the target of a circle that stalks you. The best way to deal with this is to run in a circle, out of the path of nearby allies. Defeating Blood Maiden will drop loot, and will also drop Exquisite Blood, which is used to generate the endgame boss, Lord Zir.
Coming to Season 4 Helltide, you’ll also notice new Whisper Objectives exclusive to Helltide. This means that when you play Helltide, you also gain Grim Favors.
These Objectives are simple, like killing some demons, destroying Accursed Ritual, or defeating Hellborn. Most of these are easy to complete by playing Helltide and will be a great way to farm Varshan Body Parts for summoning the endgame boss Varshan.
Additionally, Forgotten Souls, Fiend Roses, and Grigoire summoning items are no longer locked behind Helltide. They are available outside of Helltide at a lower and possibly more unstable rate. Therefore, Helltide will probably remain the primary method for target farming these items.
To collect Forgotten Souls, you need to look for Screaming Hell Veins, which are rarely found in Helltide region. To collect Fiend Roses, be aware of Fiend Rose interactables. Don’t forget to collect 5 pieces of Living Steel immediately and open Living Steel Chest to get 275 Aberrant Cinders.
It’s worth mentioning that in Helltide, goblins and elite enemies appear to drop any endgame boss summoning items.
By the way, in Season 4 Helltide, we will also find some returning structures from past seasons.
You’ll find Sanguine Altars mini-event in Season 2, where you have to defeat endless waves of enemies while having less and less health over time. You’ll also find Trap Altar from Season 3, which is the same idea, but the altar itself emits a dodgeable telegraphed attack.
All of these new additions will be coming to Helltide, which has been available since World Tier 1, so this will probably be the best leveling location in Season 4.
Helltide itself has a hit or miss mob density. Threat Meter will help fill the monster density with ambush. Finding many people participating in Accursed Ritual will result in a huge XP boost, similar to Cursed Chests in Nightmare Dungeons. This will be the basis for Whisper Objectives you complete during Helltide to earn another boost in XP.
Best of all, opening Tortured Gifts will grant you more XP. The main thing you miss when leveling up from level 1 to 100 in Helltide is Glyph XP, so that’s the major drawback.
The above are all the changes in Helltide in Season 4 that we know so far, but we still have to look forward to the official launch in half a month for the specific content. Good luck and have fun.
In this guide, I’ll be showcasing another unique build we tested in Season 4 PTR, which is the powerful Frozen Orb Sorcerer with Fractured Winterglass unique Amulet at its core. This is an incredible endgame build that combines Frozen Orb with a spell, creating an effect that can easily reach high levels and permanently freeze enemies.
It’s no problem with Pit of Artificers endgame newly introduced in Season 4. Personally, Pit Tier 159 was the highest we could open with this build at the time. So, at least with the scaling we have on PTR, getting all the way to Pit Tier 200 is pretty easy. So it’s safe to say this is one of the best builds out there, especially for a Sorcerer.
How it works is that Fractured Winterglass gives it a chance to spawn any random Conjuration whenever you cast Frozen Orb. So Ice Blades, Lightning Spear or Hydra and those Conjurations will spawn and throw their own Frozen Orbs. These Orbs can move back and forth and explode around like you know.
Basically, you’ll see about 20 Frozen Orbs exploding all the time. What’s more, if you have Aspect of Frozen Orbit, it can also cause Frozen Orbs to explode three times.
What this means is that you actually have a lot of Lucky Hit triggers, you have a lot of opportunities to trigger those Conjurations summon spawns, and you have Lightning Spears flying around all the time to deal a lot of damage.
Additionally, Frozen Orb synergize well with Conjuration Mastery Passive, providing additional damage and mana regeneration. So the more Conjurations you have, the more these scales up, the more you can spam everything. So it all synergize with each other in a really crazy way, making this build powerful.
You might feel that with the build going roughly the way I’ve shown it, it might be a little weak. Since our goal in Season 4 is to get into Pit Tier 200, the bar is a little higher, but the unique Fractured Winterglass will definitely help you get there.
This is one of the new Diablo 4 items dropped by Lord Zir in World Tier 4. It gives you a 35-50% chance of generating random Conjuration when casting Frozen Orb Explosion. If Lucky Hits, your Conjurations have a whopping 70-100% chance of launching Frozen Orbs at nearby enemies. Before getting Fractured Winterglass, Frozen Orb Sorcerer dealt mediocre damage and struggled to maintain mana.
While this build will still work on the starting Sorcerer, we strongly recommend switching to Chain Lightning Sorcerer build before you get Fractured Winterglass. Because Frozen Orbs deplete resources quickly, starting at a whopping 40 mana, and requiring specific equipment to maintain mana to continuously cast Frozen Orbs.
They’ve buffed Frozen Orbs quite a bit since I played it in Season 1. As I mentioned, this is pretty good, especially for leveling. When you're not looking for truly high-end content, and you don't have to fight millions of monsters like a boss, Frozen Orb Sorcerer is always the best choice.
But like I mentioned before, Aspect of Frozen Orbit has great synergy with Frozen Orbs, so you have to find it at least once. This will change your settings for more Conjurations.
And in Season 4, you can now choose where to detonate Frozen Orbs. When you play the game using your mouse and keyboard, it moves to your cursor. I think when you play with the controller, it just goes to your target or, like, a random set distance.
So it’s not like there was always a fixed long range where you had to constantly reposition yourself to really cast accurately. If you want, you can even stand on top of your enemies and throw Frozen Orbs into their faces. This also makes using it easier and better. Because you are guaranteed to always explode on the target, and the radius is very large.
But I have to say, I think this build will last a long time against all of these bosses. Therefore, boss battles are definitely a weakness of Frozen Orbs. But don’t worry, you can increase boss damage by optimizing settings. Once you are fully equipped, you can enter Pit Tier 200 and even clear speed will be fast.
We can also take a quick look at Paragon Board. We have six boards, six glyphs, and one or two very influential legendary nodes.
First, Icefall causes you to deal extra damage to vulnerable enemies. Additionally, we have Frigid Fate here, which also deals extra damage to vulnerable targets based on your cold damage. This number may seem a bit low, but you can actually Temper the cold damage, or non-physical damage, to maximize the effect of this Frigid Fate board.
There are also Paragon nodes that are basically just for stacking a lot of defenses. So we have a lot of life and similar damage reduction here, such as Damage Reduction from Vulnerable, Damage Reduction from Burning, Damage Reduction from Chilled. Because we need to be as tanky as possible to ensure we can survive the high-end content in Pit and those Uber bosses.
The rest is just like you know, grab some really important stuff like damage modifiers like Winter Glyph, and Destruction Glyph which can crit scale. Additionally, there’s a Conjurer Glyph here that increases their duration, so you have a really nice damage bonus.
All in all, this Frozen Orb build is a powerful and fun build for Sorcerer in Diablo 4 Season 4. But anyway, we still need to wait for the final patch notes. Let’s wait and see!
Here, we’ll take a deep dive into the newly introduced endgame activity in Diablo 4 Season 4: Pit of Artificers. With this guide, you’ll learn the requirements for entering this new endgame, the mechanics of Pit, and what rewards you’ll receive for completing it.
From dungeon mechanics to Masterworking materials and Stygian Stones, we’ve broken down all the essentials to help you overcome this challenge. Don’t miss it if you like concise and informative guides. May your adventures in Pit of Artificers be both meaningful and enjoyable! Let’s start!
Pit of Artificers is a new endgame activity in Diablo 4 Season 4. Before entering, you first need to be in World Tier 4, and then you must run Tier 46 Nightmare Dungeon to complete this Priority Quest.
Obelisk for entering Pit is located in Cerrigar next to Waypoint. But please note that every time you enter Pit, Runeshards are required to enter. Runeshards come from completing most endgame activities, such as Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide Chests, Legion Events, and Whisper Caches.
This Pit has a tier system like Nightmare Dungeon. The higher the dungeon tier you enter, the higher level enemies you will fight, and of course, the more Diablo 4 Gold and loot you will receive upon completion.
After entering Pit, a timer will start, and defeating enemies will fill up the progress bar. Your goal is to fill this progress bar before time runs out.
There are multiple tilesets in Pit containing different types of enemies connected through portals. But I must remind you, try to avoid dying in Pit of Artificers! Because this will reduce your remaining time depending on how many times you die.
Once you complete the progress bar, you’ll get a portal to the boss stage. Defeating the boss will stop the timer and complete your dungeon run. Depending on how much time you have left, this will determine how many additional levels you will unlock.
After completing Pit of Artificers endgame, you will be able to obtain some equipment, but more importantly, some Masterworking materials and Stygian Stones.
For Masterworking materials, you have Obducites, Ingoliths, and Neathirons. The materials you get depend on the tier of Pit you run. You can use these Masterworking materials at Blacksmith to upgrade your gear, which replaces the old Blacksmith upgrade system.
You can masterwork your gear a total of 12 times. Every level up except every 4 will increase all your affixes by 5%, while levels up to 4, 8, and 12 will increase random affixes by 25%.
Neathirons and Ingoliths can be converted by Alchemist at a conversion rate of 1 to 5. This avoids the trouble of being unable to upgrade the gear because we cannot find suitable materials.
Stygian Stones can be used on any endgame boss to generate a level 200 version of that boss as well as summoning materials. These bosses have a much higher drop rate than the original version. In order to defeat these bosses, you need to be well geared or have extensive experience in mastering the boss mechanics.
Anyway, that’s it for this quick guide to Pit of Artificers. Let’s look forward to what other exciting new content there will be in Diablo 4 Season 4. Good luck and have fun!
With Diablo 4 Season 4 PTR over, I’m back with my brand new Firebolt Sorcerer. This is a new Firebolt build for Season 4 based on Flameweaver Unique Gloves. So in this guide, let’s talk about how this new build works and what the highlights are.
I believe many players know that the new season will introduce a new endgame system with 220 tiers, Pit of Artificers. Even though I haven’t fully unlocked all tiers in PTR, this build can be easily run and even go all the way through T200, at least on PTR.
I also don’t expect this build to be significantly nerfed compared to other builds that have performed so well. So I think this will be relatively close to what we see in the live patch.
The build centers on Flameweaver Gloves, which allow players to unleash devastating Firebolt attacks. This Diablo 4 items will split Firebolt into multiple projectiles when you fire it. These projectiles can also fire at the same target, so you can produce pretty crazy single target damage output.
Basically, you have these Unique Gloves and you know where to put Firebolt. It’s actually a positioning-like game where you have to try to place Flameweaver in the right spot, such as right in front of an enemy, and Firebolt will impale all enemies.
You can also choose to keep Firebolt away from AOE and knock down the entire pack with a single attack, or you can try to place it in front of the elite and then hit them with many projectiles.
All in all, this build has a very interesting new play style that differs completely from other builds I’ve played so far.
The way this build is setup is based on DoTs, as Firebolt actually attaches a sizeable portion of DoTs damage. You could also try to make it like a hit-crit build, but I think DoTs might be the more correct choice. Because it’s actually one of the few similar non-crit builds.
Since your burning effect stacks on enemies, you can burn monsters easily. Then you just watch them melt as you run away, dying in your wake. So that’s really fun.
But for a more precise setup, I guess we’ll have to wait for the final patch notes, as I expect there will be quite a few balance changes. There will be more of these builds as we progress and once we have the final patch notes.
Beyond that, this build has incredible survivability. Because this is a basic attack build with a very high attack speed, you can have effects like starting a new life on your item with each click. But more importantly, you can also have other Legendary Powers, like Hectic.
Hectic is something very useful in building. Every time you attack five times with a basic skill, it reduces your cooldown. Since this is basically what you’re doing all the time, you can refresh your cooldown often. Especially useful for your Flame Shield.
Some players may be concerned that Flame Shield is at risk of being nerfed in the new season. But regardless, even if it is nerfed or even removed, you can still provide the benefits of this Hectic effect to all other skills here, such as Frost Nova, Teleport, and Inferno.
So you can do different combinations here. It will constantly reset your cooldown with this Hectic Power. In fact, you could even try putting it on an amulet if you want to reset your cooldown faster.
Excitingly, I also took down some level 200 Uber Bosses with this build. Because you only need to press more on your Flame Shield and Ice Armor to further increase the efficiency of your build. Even if you don’t play all the mechanics perfectly, it’s easy to survive these bosses.
Anyway, for now I just wanted to highlight how this new Flameweaver Firebolt Sorcerer build works. I think it’s pretty cool and definitely something to look forward to.
While Firebolt build isn’t expected to be the absolute best in Diablo 4 Season 4, it’s expected to be one of the best-performing Sorcerer builds. Overall, Season 4 promises to offer a wider range of viable Sorcerer builds for players to explore. Let’s wait and see!
As we all know, the gradual decline of Blizzard’s action role-playing game was reversed in 2014. In that year, Diablo 3 pre-Reaper of Souls expansion patch called 'loot 2.0' almost saved the company's decline in the ARPG field. Both game critics and ordinary players believe that it was undoubtedly a shot in the arm at the time, re-injecting strong vitality into Blizzard. But times have changed, and today, 10 years later, Diablo has once again become depressed. It is still unknown whether Diablo 4 Season 4, which is expected to be released on May 14, 2024, can continue its previous glory, but Blizzard seems to be very confident in this.
Blizzard's Diablo 4 Public Test Realm (PTR), launched from April 2 to April 9, showed players the comprehensive changes in the fourth season's project settings in advance. It has now received a lot of positive feedback in the market, such as "Diablo 4 is good now", "Diablo 4 should use Season 4 as the initial release content" and so on. After experiencing the first three Seasons, players' enthusiasm for Diablo 4 has actually declined significantly, as can be seen from the number of real-time online players and real in-game popularity. Based on people's current impressions of Season 4, it seems that the new season is likely to have a strong enough attraction to bring back those players who have lost it, and even bring in new players who are eager to try Diablo 4 but have never done so.
Diablo 4 boss Rod Fergusson also said in an interview with the famous game news site IGN that they have put a lot of effort into the development and maintenance of Diablo 4. I totally understand the entire Diablo IV development team. No matter which project it is, from launch to full display in front of players, and if it can receive a lot of praise from users, then this will undoubtedly be the greatest encouragement for every team member who works hard.
At the same time, they are also very willing to listen to players' opinions and are working hard to make the game content more challenging and playable every season. Therefore, they launched PTR during the current Season 3 period to collect feedback from players. This is a very good time, giving developers the opportunity to adjust the upcoming content in time before the release of Season 4. Keeping pace with the times and always focusing on user experience is the secret to maintaining a game's long-term excellent vitality.
In addition, Rod Fergusson also said that they have completely subverted the way loot works and what we call itemisation in Diablo 4 Season 4. It will allow more possibilities and also mobilize players’ enthusiasm for exploration, which is exciting. Everyone can take part in it and practice. We can see it from the player participation in PTR that some people who have never participated in a season before have also tried PTR this time. It shows that the measures taken by Blizzard this time are very wise and should have a huge positive effect on Diablo 4 to attract new players.
Season 4 has also added a lot of approachable changes, which is to allow more people to understand the working mechanism of various things in Diablo 4. You know, those different attributes and affixes can be really confusing, especially for people who have never played Diablo or even an ARPG. Even if this group of potential people wants to try Diablo 4, they don’t have enough energy and confidence to play it well. So in order to solve this embarrassing problem, devs makes various things in the game clearer and easier to understand. In this way, players can immediately know what they are when they see something unfamiliar. Use the tempering system and the Masterworking system. Is it useful to you, and what action should you take next? Open up more information and autonomy to players, so that more and more people can have their own ideas.
At the same time, Rod Fergusson is proud that many people have said that they are working hard to return to the game and wait for Season 4. This is a genuine compliment to all developers for their tireless efforts. They go to great lengths to test the limits of how things can develop. Taking what everyone really finds interesting and successfully implementing it in the game efficiently is what they will continue to research next.
Some players said that the changes presented in PTR this time are so significant that they are very similar to‘loot 2.0’ that appeared in Diablo 3 in the past, and are just like the core mechanism of Diablo 4. So they infer based on this that it will most likely be the core of Diablo 5 in the future. This speculation is not unreasonable. Rod Fergusson said that Diablo is originally a role-playing game with the core of obtaining loot. Kill monsters, get loot, become stronger, and then challenge more powerful monsters to get more valueable Diablo 4 items or other loot, and the cycle continues in this order.
But in this PTR, the changes shown differ completely from the game logic that has been solidified in the past. They hoped that the system would have a certain degree of depth and complexity, but realized that it exceeded the goal. This will be a scope for future updates, but what kind of experience upcoming Diablo 4 Season 4 and the more distant Diablo 5 will bring us depends on the next development and market feedback. Let us wait and see!
Those playing Diablo 4 Season 4 PTR will probably find that the developers have made massive changes to the core system, and on top of that, there’s also been a ton of additions to the endgame content. This includes some major changes to the endgame boss ladder.
In Season 4, we will have a new boss that can be used to farm Uber Uniques. This new boss is called Tormented Echoes. They spawn at level 200 and have a huge amount of life.
In this guide, we’ll detail everything you need to know about these Tormented Echoes. Let’s get straight to it!
First, they added a new member to Boss Ladder, Andariel. She will be in the same camp as Uber Duriel and share the same loot table.
So this just gives you another boss you can face without having to target farm Andariel. It gives you a chance to get more summoning materials to get Uber Uniques.
Looking past Andariel now, the developers have actually made a big addition to the boss slider, and Tormented Echoes will affect all boss ladders.
So with the addition of Andariel and these bosses, they’re all going to have Uber versions that are going to be very difficult and drop more gear. Therefore, it is crucial to create a build that is entirely focused on killing very difficult bosses before Diablo 4 Season 4 begins.
Season 4 will have six Torment bosses, each requiring a special material called Stygian Stones to summon them. You can get it by completing Pit.
You’ll first unlock Pit of Artificers dungeon in this Torment World tier via a priority quest, which will introduce you to Runeshard currency required to open it. You can obtain Runeshard from Whispers by opening Legion or Helltide chests, or completing Nightmare Dungeons.
To start, you’ll get one or two Stygian Stones per run, and you’ll need three in total to summon Tormented Echoes.
It’s also important to note that, like other boss materials, Stygian Stones can be traded between players. So when Season 4 arrives, you’ll be able to purchase them with Diablo 4 Gold. Remember, if you complete Pit of Artificers with a team, only the team leader will be rewarded with Stones.
But you’ll also need a lot of normal boss summoning materials, so you can go to Helltide or Nightmare Dungeons to defeat any of the other ladder bosses, and collect materials to face some of the more tough bosses.
It should be noted that these Torment bosses require more summoning materials than the normal version of the boss, but these bosses will also give you a lot of loot. No matter which level 200 Torment Boss you face, they will all drop 925 Item Power gear.
This change is important because if you face Beast in the Ice or Lord Zir, they are not guaranteed to drop level 925 gear on normal difficulty, like Duriel.
This means you have a better chance of getting your top unique items. And because these Torment bosses simply drop more unique items and loot, you’ll increase that chance exponentially, too.
And considering Season 4’s upcoming Greater Affixes system, where Legendaries and Uniques will drop Greater Affixes, increasing that affix’s stats by 1.5x.
This means that being able to farm many unique items is important to making your build incredibly powerful. Once your character is strong enough, you’ll be able to kill any of these level 200 bosses with ease.

You can summon these Torment bosses in common lairs and altars in Torment World Tier. But like I said, each boss summons requires five times the materials. For example, to summon Torment Varshan, you need five of each Malignant Body Part instead of one. Thankfully, it’s now easier to get boss materials, as they drop more frequently.
Although Tormented Echoes don’t appear to have any new attacks, they will spawn at level 200, and any elites they summon in battle will also have a higher level, so before facing any of them, make sure your The characters are at their best.
Defeating these Torment bosses will net you better rewards than the regular version, including 925 Item Power gear, and a guaranteed Resplendent Spark on your first kill.
Overall, I think one of the best things about Diablo 4 is that there are so many bosses and the range of different difficulties faced when challenging them. You can focus almost entirely on killing bosses to get almost all the loot you want.
So instead of having a good build to get into Nightmare Dungeons super fast, you can just make a boss-killer build and go face off against increasingly hard bosses. That’s all I wanted to discuss.
