Activate the Spirit Brazier

Kurast Undercity Guide - Spirit Brazier Location

Three Floors with One Boss at the End

Three Districts with One Boss Each
There are a total of 3 Floors in Kurast Undercity with each featuring a boss at the end. Keep this in mind as you progress, as you must reach the boss floor within the limited time available during your dungeon run. Keep in mind that once you enter the boss room, the timer will disappear, so use it wisely on the first three floors.

Kill Afflicted Monsters to Add Time

Kill Elites to Add Time and For Better Rewards
Killing Afflicted Monsters and structures will add a few seconds to your timer, allowing you to reach deeper floors and the final boss of the dungeon. You can easily distinguish them on the map by looking for enemies with an orange hourglass icon. Defeating one of these enemies will grant you additional time on your timer, with the duration varying based on whether the enemy is a normal, elite, or boss.

Ignite Spirit Beacons for Better Rewards

Kurast Undercity Guide - Attunement Rewards
You can earn more Attunement by activating Spirit Beacons and slaying monsters inside the Kurast Undercity. The higher your Attunement rank upon completion, the better the rewards you will receive. Each floor will always have 3 Spirit Beacons available. Some floors may also have a Greater Spirit Beacon, which gives a massive boost to your Attunement.

Augment Your Run with Tributes and Bargains

Augment Your Run with Tributes and Bargains
Tributes can be obtained in Kurast Undercity and through various activities across Sanctuary. These Tributes can offered at the Spirit Brazier for your next run to target specific rewards, but will also increase the challenges.

Bargains, on the other hand, can customize the loot and rewards you obtain within the dungeon. These have certain gold or material requirements before you can apply them so try save up on those beforehand.

New Enemy Portal Prankster

Portal Prankster
The Portal Prankster is a loot goblin unique to the Kurest Undercity dungeon. When encountered, it will spawn a series of portals that makes it harder for you to chase it but will offer a bonus chest at the end of the floor when successful.

Kurast Undercity Tips

Defeat All Afflicted Monsters As You Progress

Kurast Undercity Guide - Afflicted
As you progress deeper into the dungeon, make sure to clear all the monsters you encounter along the way to gain additional time. This will allow you to farm more Attunement before moving to the next floor, especially if you are having difficulties clearing Greater Spirit Beacons.

Activate Spirit Beacons to Collect Attunement

Kurast Undercity Guide - Spirit Beacon
You can earn better rewards by activating Spirit Beacons along the way and defeating all the monsters to collect Attunement. This will significantly increase the rewards you receive at the end of your run. Keep in mind that if you are using a Tribute, your main goal is to gather the maximum amount of Attunement to maximize the offering.

Target Farm Items Using Tributes and Bargains

Kurast Undercity Guide - Tributes
If you are planning to farm specific items like Runes, Legendaries, or Uniques, it is highly recommended to use Tributes and Bargains to make your runs more challenging. This also allows you to target farm items depending on which Tribute you choose to use for your run.
