Diablo 4 Endgame World Boss explained

One of the main activities you can run once reached the Endgame is to hunt down World Bosses. There are a total of 3 World Bosses that can spawn in the Sanctuary: Ashava The Pestilent, Avarice The Gold Cursed, and the Wandering Death.

While there isn’t a fixed time for each boss to spawn, it seems that they pop around every six hours. In any case, be sure to check your map for a World Boss sign which also indicates how much time is left for the boss to spawn. Every World Boss encounter has a limit of time to be completed, so it’s important to be prepared.

An encounter against a World Boss is a challenge that you need the help of other players to face since these are extremely powerful creatures. All the work to defeat a World Boss is worth it because they can drop not only Legendary but also Unique items. The type and rarity of the drops depend on the World Tier you’re playing though.

Diablo 4 Endgame Whispers of the Dead explained

Once you have completed the campaign, the Whispers of the Dead system is unlocked. This is the core system of your gameplay loop in the Endgame of Diablo 4. It consists of completing missions in Sanctuary to farm better loot.

In the World Map, you will see red and pinkish symbols in some regions. These are the Whispers of the Dead missions. They stay active for a while and by completing any of them you’re rewarded with Grim Favors. The missions are simple in general and each type rewards you with a certain number of Favors (Dungeons give you 5 Favors while missions that ask you to slay enemies give only 1 Favor).

Your goal here is to complete missions enough to collect 10 Grim Favors. Then, you need to visit the Tree of Whispers in Hawezar. By talking to it, you can trade 10 Favors for one of the boxes the tree offers you. The boxes give you one type of equipment as indicated in their name. There is always the chance of a Legendary piece of gear coming in the box.

Diablo 4 Endgame Nightmare Dungeons explained

After you start completing Whispers of the Dead missions and running dungeons, you have the chance to drop items called Nightmare Sigil. You need these to enter a modified version of a dungeon.

By going to your Consumables tab in the Character menu, you can use the item to transform the dungeon into a Nightmare Dungeon. Each sigil has a Tier and a list of affixes that work as the modifications – monsters dealing Cold damage, for example – you need to deal with in the Nightmare Dungeon. In the description of the sigil, there is also the Dungeon in which it must be used.

Besides the affixes, in Nightmare Dungeons you have a limit on how many times you can die. But the effort of completing one is totally worth it since you can drop great items by doing so.

Diablo 4 Endgame Helltide events explained

Another kind of activity that is unlocked once you have reached the Endgame portion of Diablo 4 is the Helltide events. These are timed events that players playing in the World Tier 3 can participate in to farm better pieces of equipment.

Periodically, a Helltide will appear in one of the regions in Sanctuary and last for an hour. When this happens, you can complete missions in the region or just kill enemies, which are stronger during the event. In both cases, you can collect Aberrant Cinders, a special currency that is dropped by enemies and found in the areas where the event is happening.

Aberrant Cinders are spent to open special chests found in the area of the Helltide. Each chest costs a different amount of Cinders and rewards you with a specific type of equipment. So, you can open a leg chest by spending 75 Cinders or save 150 to open a weapon chest. It’s important to keep in mind that a chest can be opened only once per Helltide, which means that if another player opens a chest before you can do it, you can’t spend cinders on it again. There is, however, more than one chest of the same type per Helltide.

The challenge in Helltide events is not only to survive but to keep your cinders. These are only valid during the Helltide they were collected. Once the event ends or you leave the area, all of your remaining Aberrant Cinders disappear. Besides that, half of the cinders you have are lost in case you die.

Diablo 4 Endgame PvP Fields of Hatred explained

Now, if what you’re looking for is the chance to test your skill against other players, you should go for the Fields of Hatred, the PvP areas in Diablo 4. One of the fields is located in Alzuuda and the other in Denshar. Both areas are found in Kehjistan.

In the Fields of Hatred, you can complete missions or kill enemies to collect Seeds of Hatred, a currency used in the cities you found in both areas to buy special items, such as armor for your mount. But, in this area, you can activate the Mark for Blood, which allows you to attack other players. Dying in the Fields of Hatred leads to dropping all the seeds one had. Any player can get the seeds dropped by others.

It’s important to know that, although these areas are meant for PvP, you don’t necessarily need to fight other players. However, they can kill if they activate the Mark for Blood, even if you haven’t. At the same time, remember that your Seeds of Hatred disappear if you leave the PvP areas.

Have fun running the Endgame activities in Diablo 4!
