Fallen Temple Completion Guide



Enter the Antechamber of the Damned

Diablo 4 - Antechamber of the Damned Preview

Upon entering the Fallen Temple, you'll immediately notice that there's two paths available to you. It doesn't matter which path you choose, because you need to clear both paths in order to progress. Interact with the Sigil to open your chosen path and make your way to the Cursed Halls.

The Cursed Halls Strategy

Diablo 4 - The Cursed Halls Preview

After entering the Cursed Halls, you have to fight your way through trash mobs, Elites, Champions, and Minions until you reach the room where the Idol of the Fallen Temple is located. Lots of enemy spawns will appear as you attack the Idol down, so utilize the usage of your AoE and crowd control abilities to clear the spawns quickly.

After destroying the Idol, obtain the stone carving and make your way to the Pedestal. Afterwards, you'll be entering the Gluttonous Chapel zone where you'll have to fight your way again, and find the room with a demonic barrier to progress.

Survive the Trial of the Weak

Diablo 4 - Trial of the Weak Preview

Once you arrive at the room with the demonic barrier, interact with it to start the Trial of the Weak. Power through the spawns and survive, then return the Bloodstone back to the Pedestal and make your way to the Cathedral of Flesh.

Upon arriving, you will be tasked with Collecting Animus from enemies and depositing them to the Animus Urn before the path to Elias's Boss Fight gets unlocked. Make sure to refill your potions by interacting with the Healing Well near the urn before proceeding to face Elias.

Defeat Elias, Hatred's Remnant

Diablo 4 - Elias Hatred

Elias is the final boss of the Fallen Temple. His attacks are ranged multishots that come out fast and will shred your HP if you're not aware enough. He summons Soul Burners and Spawns of the Damned for most of the fight, but your number one priority should be bursting Elias down. At his last health threshold, a huge summoning circle that can burn you will appear along with another spawn of huge enemies, so prioritize striking Elias down and complete the dungeon.

Make sure to prepare for this fight and have upgraded potions, weapons, armor, and aspects to buff up your chances of completing the dungeon with ease! We also recommend to run this dungeon solo if you plan on tackling it by the recommended level (70) or lower.
