That\u2019s because Nightmare Dungeons are one of the main things you can do in the endgame, along with Helltide events, Legion events, and Tree of Whispers. They\u2019re my favorite endgame activity by a long shot because of how challenging and rewarding they can be. But what are they exactly, how do you unlock them, and how do you access them? Here\u2019s everything you need to know. What are Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4? Nightmare Dungeons are much harder versions of the various dungeons in Diablo 4. Each one has up to one hundred tiers. The higher the tier, the more difficult the Nightmare Dungeon will be, but it will have better rewards including plenty of endgame items and materials. I have found all sorts of incredible loot in them, and you will too. Related: How to find Crushed Beast Bones in Diablo 4 If you complete the main objective within each Nightmare Dungeon, you\u2019ll also be able to level up your Paragon Board Glyphs, which is how you become stronger after hitting the maximum level to take your build to the next level. How to unlock Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4 Nightmare Dungeons aren\u2019t available right away. They\u2019re a part of the endgame, so you\u2019ll need to complete a number of prerequisites to unlock them. First, you\u2019ll need to complete the campaign. Then, you\u2019ll need to complete the Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon in World Tier Two. If you\u2019ve done all of those things, you\u2019ll unlock World Tier Three, which you can change to any time, along with Nightmare Dungeons. How to access Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4 To access Nightmare Dungeons once you\u2019ve unlocked them, you need to find or craft Nightmare Sigils. Think of them as a token associated with a specific dungeon, complete with its own set of Dungeon Affixes that make it contain enemies with certain buffs and qualities. Each time you use one to create a Nightmare Dungeon, it will disappear from your inventory. You can obtain Nightmare Sigils in several ways: Finding them in reward caches from the Tree of Whispers Finding them as rare drops from enemies and world bosses Finding them in Nightmare Dungeons Crafting them using Gold and Sigil Powder, which is salvaged from other Nightmare Sigils at the Occultist. I\u2019d recommend starting with Tree of Whispers since it\u2019s more reliable than relying on the slim chance of finding one via a rare drop. Once you\u2019ve got the ball rolling, you should be able to earn plenty from Nightmare Dungeons, even if it means you have to salvage Nightmare Sigils to create others.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/diablo-4-hell-gate.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/882594"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2123"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=882594"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/882594\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":882682,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/882594\/revisions\/882682"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/882612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=882594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=882594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=882594"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=882594"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=882594"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=882594"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=882594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
