Check icon Complete any Dungeon Map IconDungeon

Check icon Complete a World Event


Check icon Complete a Cellar Map IconCellar


Check icon Collect a Whispering Key

Check icon Salvage 10 Normal Items at the BlacksmithBlacksmith

Minimum Number of Objectives Needed

Players only need to complete 7 out of 9 objectives to claim the reward for this chapter. With that in mind, feel free to skip the 'Complete 3 Dungeons in Fractured Peaks'' and ''Complete 5 Priorities or Side Quests'' objectives since those take up the most time.

Tips for Chapter 1

Focus on Whisper Dungeons or Whisper Cellars

When doing Dungeon objectives, it is best to complete Whisper Dungeons or Whisper Cellars to be more efficient. This is so that you can obtain Caches from the Tree of Whispers while completing those dungeon or cellar objectives. It will allow you to complete the ''Obtain Caches'' objective quicker in Chapter 3 as well.

Check icon Upgrade Your Potion to Minor at the AlchemistAlchemist

Minimum Number of Objectives Needed

Players only need to complete 9 out of 11 objectives to claim the reward for this chapter. With that in mind, feel free to skip the 'Complete 10 Cellars'' and ''Reach Level 25'' objectives since it is faster to farm EXP from Whisper Dungeons than Cellars, and you can complete Chapter 2 by Level 20.

Tips for Chapter 2

Interact with the Same Waypoint 10 Times

Players can easily complete the ''Interact with 10 Waypoints'' objective by going to a Waypoint and interacting with the same one 10 times. This means that you do not have to unlock 10 different Waypoints.

Rush to Level 20

Players should also rush to level 20 so that they could complete the ''Upgrade Your Potion'' and ''Craft Any Chipped Gem'' objectives. It is also recommended to do World Events and Dungeons since they give a good amount of EXP early in the game.

Minimum Number of Objectives Needed

Players only need to complete 10 out of 13 objectives to claim the reward for this chapter. With that in mind, feel free to skip the ''Conquer 5 Strongholds,'' ''Upgrade Your Potion to Moderate,'' and the ''Use Wrathful Malignant Invoker'' objectives since doing these will take up more time than the others.

Tips for Chapter 3

Tree of Whispers Cache Exploit

Players can quickly complete the ''Obtain 10 Caches''' objective by completing Tree of Whispers just once. When you receive your cache, drop it and then pick it up 10 times to complete the objective.

Do World Bosses and World Events

It is great to do World Bosses for this Chapter since it gives you Scattered Prisms and Murmuring Obols, both of which can be used to complete the ''Collect 5 Scattered Prisms'' and ''Buy 5 Items from the Purveyor of Curiosities'' objectives respectively.

Craft Weak Iron Barb Elixir

To complete the ''Craft 5 Elixirs'' objective easily, players should craft 5 Weak Iron Barb Elixirs. These are relatively simple to craft since it uses Gallowvine and Biteberry which are relatively easy to pick up. It's also great to use while doing other objectives since it will give you an EXP boost at the same time!

Minimum Number of Objectives Needed

Players only need to complete 9 out of 12 objectives to claim the reward for this chapter. With that in mind, feel free to skip the ''Unlock 15 Aspects'' ''Complete 25 Priorities or Side Quests,'' and the ''Upgrade an Item to 4 Stars'' objectives since doing these will take up more time with less progress towards the endgame.

Tips for Chapter 4

Unlock Necessary Aspects for Your Build

It is important to start unlocking Aspects from the codex during this chapter, especially ones that are necessary for your leveling build. Having multiple aspects at this point of the game will allow you to farm for items and EXP much faster thanks to the additional effects that the aspects provide.

Get Seeds of Hatred in World Tier 1

You can quickly complete the ''Purify 1,000 Seeds of Hatred'' objective by tranferring to World Tier 1 and collecting the seeds in the Hostile Areas. The enemies will be a lot easier to kill with less risk of dying, and there are fewer PvP players who might threaten you as well. This lets you collect and purify 1,000 seeds in just a few minutes.

Farming Legendaries

A lot of the objectives for this chapter require you to obtain a lot of legendary items. With that, there are multiple ways to get a lot of legendaries but the most recommended way would be doing Dungeons with High Elite spawns and World Events since these give you the highest chance of getting Legendary items at this stage.

Legendary Farming Guide

Equip and Unequip a Full Set of Legendary Items

Make sure to collect one Legendary item for each slot while farming, and store them in your stash. Once you have a full set of legendary items from farming, you can simply equip and unequip these items before salvaging them to complete the ''Equip a Legendary Item in Every Slot.''

Join a Party for the Capstone Dungeon

The capstone dungeon is a particularly difficult dungeon at this level because of the strong enemies you encounter. Because of this, it is recommended to join a party with other people to complete this dungeon and objective. Feel free to join the official Diablo 4 Game8 Discord Server if you are looking for party members to take on the capstone dungeon with!

Minimum Number of Objectives Needed

Players only need to complete 9 out of 11 objectives to claim the reward for this chapter. With that in mind, feel free to skip the ''Kill Another Player in PvP'' and the ''Complete 15 Malignant Tunnels' objectives since doing these will take up more time with not as big of a reward.

Tips for Slayer Chapter

Prioritize Nightmare Dungeons

Players should prioritize doing Nightmare Dungeons since there are three objectives related to completing them in this chapter. By doing so, players will likely finish the ''Craft 2 Nightmare Sigils,'' ''Use 5 Nightmare Sigils,'' and ''Improve a Paragon Glyph'' objectives as they complete several Nightmare Dungeons.

Best Nightmare Dungeons

Check out the Helltide Gifts of Mystery Map

It can be difficult to find the Tortured Gift of Mystery during the Helltide since it will not appear on you map, and it can only be located if you're near one. However, you can use the Helltide Gifts of Mystery Map Guide to find them faster.

Use the Invoker of Varshan

The Echo of Varshan boss can only be found by using the Invoker of Varshan which you get by finishing the seasonal questline. You can use the item in a secret room inside the Malignant Tunnels on World Tier 1 or 2.

Check icon Reach Level 75

Check icon Complete a Tier 15 Nightmare Dungeon

Check icon Kill a World Boss in Nightmare

Minimum Number of Objectives Needed

Players only need to complete 9 out of 11 objectives to claim the reward for this chapter. With that in mind, feel free to skip the ''Improve a Glyph to Rank 20' and the ''Purify 5,000 Seeds of Hatred' objectives since it is a better priority to get more Glyphs to rank 15, and doing PvP is not as rewarding as other endgame content.

Tips for Champion Chapter

Clear Nightmare Dungeons 10 Levels Higher

Players are recommended to clear Nightmare Dungeons 10 levels higher than their current level if they can. This will help you reach Level 75 because enemies in these dungeons give significantly more EXP while still being manageable to clear. You will also eventually complete a Tier 15 dungeon for the objective at the same time.

Season 1 Leveling Guide

Unlock World Tier 4 as Soon as Possible

It is also suggested for players to unlock World Tier 4 as soon as possible. This will not only help you complete the Fallen Temple objective, but it will also help you progress faster because of the EXP boosts and better item drops.
