Diablo 4 - How to Clear Dungeons Fast

Clearing Dungeons fast in Diablo 4 (D4) involves focusing only on objectives, grouping with other players, and efficiently clearing out hordes of mobs. Check out our tips and strategies and learn how to clear dungeons fast!

How to Clear Dungeons Fast

Dungeon Farming Tips and Strategies





Prioritize Completing Objectives

The fastest way to complete Dungeons is by focusing on finishing their objectives. Avoid straying from the path to your next objective or doing optional World Events inside the Dungeon to speed up your clear times.

On average, completing a Dungeon at your level should take around 5 to 10 minutes if you focus on objectives. This time can reach up to 15 minutes if the Dungeon has mobs with a higher level than you.

Party Up With Other Players

Diablo 4 - Party Up With Other Players

You can also speed up completing Dungeon objectives by playing in a party with other players. When a Dungeon involves slaying all monsters or destroying spread-out structures, you can split your party across the area to complete them much faster.

In addition, playing in a party also provides a 10% EXP bonus to all players inside, which is a welcome buff for those farming levels in Dungeons.

Multiplayer Guide

Kite and Group Up Enemies

When dealing with hordes of mobs in a Dungeon, learn to kite and group them up so you can sweep them all with a single area-of-effect or Crowd Control skill. Note that you should also mind your positioning when leading enemies around, as careless kiting could lead you to death instead, especially against Elite enemies.

Take Advantage of Shrines

Diablo 4 - Take Advantage of Shrines

We highly recommend taking advantage of nearby Shrines whenever they appear in a Dungeon. While their effects can vary, the additional movement speed and unique buffs provided by each Shrine can drastically speed up clear times and give you a massive edge against bosses and dangerous Elite enemies.

List of Shrine Effects

Craft and Use Elixirs and Incense

Diablo 4 - Craft and Use Elixirs and Incense

If you want an extra edge when completing Dungeons, consider crafting and using Elixirs and Incense at the Alchemist. Elixirs provide a 5% Experience bonus alongside a specific buff for 30 minutes, while Incense provides a special buff to all nearby players for 20 minutes.

When using Elixirs and Incense, prioritize using those that enhance your damage output to speed up clear times, such as the Elixir of Cruelty and the Sage's Whisper for Intelligence-based classes.

Consider Following a Strong Build

Diablo 4 - Consider Following a Strong Build

Having an imbalanced spread of skills and stats on your weapons and armor can slow down clear times and make it difficult to clear high-level Dungeons. Check out our builds below for a solid set of skills, gear, Legendary Aspects, Paragon Boards, and Gems to use for every class!
