Diablo 4 endgame activities
Here are the Diablo 4 endgame activities that you can busy yourself with after completing the main story:
Below, we’ll outline what these activities means for the endgame.
Torment Difficulties

As of the new Vessel of Hatred expansion and Diablo 4’s Season 6, the old World Tier difficulty levels are no more. In their place are new Torment difficulties, which open up after you hit level 60 and start running through the Pit of the Artificers. You’ll need to be level 60 and complete Pit level 20 to unlock Torment 1 difficulty, which is roughly similar to the old World Tier 4 difficulty level. Our guide onDiablo 4’s new difficulty levelshas everything you need to know, but get ready for a real challenge, as well as lots of sweet loot.
For more insights on the sort of items you’ll pick up in higher difficulties, including info on Sacred and Ancestral Legendary gear, check out ourDiablo 4 item rarity levelsguide.
Tree of Whispers

Upon completing the Diablo 4 campaign, you’ll gain access to the Tree of Whispers. This will give you access to bounties throughoutSanctuary, which you can complete to earnGrim Favors. You can then exchange Grim Favors at the Tree of Whispers for a chance at high-tier rewards, making the tree a great way to continue to level your character and farm for Legendary goodies. Completing Tree of Whispers favors at higher levels results in better potential rewards.
Nightmare Dungeons
You can access a Nightmare Dungeon with aNightmare Sigil, which you can earn from the Tree of Whispers. The sigil will, in turn, allow you to turn any Dungeon into a Nightmare Dungeon. These Nightmare Dungeons have increased difficulty and additional affixes designed to make the experience even harder, such as random enemy spawn portals and lightning strikes. There are also varying tiers of Nightmare Dungeons, which will grant greater rewards in exchange for defeating more difficult dungeons.
World Bosses
For some sweet rewards, keep an eye out for spawing World Bosses. |Image credit:Blizzard Entertainment
Upon completing the campaign, the game will also begin to displayWorld Boss spawnson theDiablo 4 map. World Bosses only spawn a few times per day, and it’s worth it to participate in a World Boss event when you see one. We’ve got guides onAshava, the Pestilent,Avarice, the Gold Cursed, andWandering Death, Death Given Lifeto get you started.
Helltide events
Helltide events are demonic invasions that take over a region and occur about every other hour. They feature more powerful monsters and meteors that crash down from the sky above, and they’re a great way to level up. Helltide events will dropAberrant Cinder, which you can use to unlockTortured Giftsthroughout Helltide areas during the event. These chests contain excellent rewards, which make these areas great for farming.
Helltide events are active in areas of the map that have a red hue.
Pit of Artificers
To unlock the Pit, interact with the obelisk in Cerrigar after you’ve reached Level 60, and be sure that you haveArtificer’s Stones, which are necessary to enter - you can earn these from the Tree of Whispers, Helltide events, and Nightmare dungeons.
Fields of Hatred
Test your might against other players in the Fields of Hatred. Just be careful not to lose all of your stuff in a failed bout. |Image credit:Blizzard Entertainment
In the Fields of Hatred, you can collectSeeds of Hatredto return to theAltars of Extractionto gainRed Dustto exchange for cosmetic rewards. However, you must be prepared to take on other players, as they can attack you and kill you, which will cause you to lose any shards you have earned. As a result, it’s a fight for your life as you attempt to traverse these deathly fields. If you’re not interested in PvP, you can deactivate PvP settings via theEmote wheelprior to wandering through these areas.
Paragon Points
Once you reach Level 50, you’ll no longer earnSkill Pointsfor leveling and will instead earn Paragon Points. You can apply these to aParagon Board, which will give you additional bonuses that you can use to continually improve and alter your character build. Check out ourDiablo 4 Paragon Boardguide for more insights on how these work.
Codex of Power
Echo of Lilith

The Echo of Lilith can be considered the endgame to the endgame. As aLevel 100boss, she was designed to be a tough pinnacle boss, and you can fight her in all Torment difficulties in the Echo of Hatred. The two-phase boss spews blood and causes floors to crumble around her, making it difficult to stay alive throughout the fight. She moves extremely quickly, and many attacks result in a one-shot kill. She’s a tough opponent for sure, so before you go up against her, be sure to work on a good build. OurDiablo 4 class tier listis an excellent place to start.
