5 Best Nightmare Dungeons (and 5 Worst) to Run in Diablo 4: July 2023
By Max Mallow
Making sure you’re running the best Nightmare Dungeons, and avoiding the worst at that, in Diablo 4 is key for leveling up and finding the best gear in the endgame.
Nightmare Dungeons are a key feature in Diablo 4’s endgame. Nightmare Sigils transform Side Dungeons around Sanctuary into an even more difficult challenge by adding higher level monsters and special affixes. Players have to complete Nightmare Dungeons to earn special experience which is used to level up Glyphs for Paragon Boards. Just like Greater Rifts in Diablo 3, pushing higher Nightmare Dungeons will reward players with more experience.
Players might not be aware that there are certain Nightmare Dungeons in the game that are better to run based on enemy density, map layout and average completion time. As well, there are dungeons to just avoid altogether.
