Diablo 4 - All Capstone Dungeons

Capstone Dungeons are high-difficulty dungeons that unlock higher difficulty modes in Diablo 4 (D4). Check out the recommended levels, locations and unlocks for each one!

Diablo 4 Icon.pngAttention! This questline is no longer available as of season 6's update due to the difficulty tier changes.

Removed From The Game After Season 6

Due to the difficulty tier changes, the Capstone dungeons have been removed from the game. Capstone dungeons are areas that you have to clear in order to move to a higher world tier. However, the Difficulty tier changes does not use Capstone dungeons to increase your game's difficulty and now uses a different metric which abolishes the Capstone Dungeon system.

What Are Capstone Dungeons?

Dungeons That Unlock Higher World Tiers

Capstone Dungeons are Dungeons which players unlock as they reach a World Tier's level cap, acting as a final challenge before they can access the next World Tier.

Capstone Dungeons are considerably more difficult than the regular Dungeons found in the open world, making them excellent tests for ensuring your character can handle higher World Tiers.
