In gaming, one aspect will keep players coming back, and that's the Endgame elements to keep players entertained, interested, and drawn together. Here is a look ahead to Diablo 4's announced End-Game modes and what to expect.
Before we begin, I advise that this detail taken from the closed Endgame beta be done at the end of 2022. The modes and challenges discussed may change, and additional Endgame modes may be added to Diablo 4 closer to release.
Diablo 4 announced a few Endgame modes that players can experience in the game, and were tested in a closed beta ending of 2022. Those modes were Helltide, Nightmare Dungeons, Fields of Hatred, Whispers of the Dead and more. So here's a rundown on what to expect from these modes.
Helltides are region-wide events only available to players in World Tier Three: Nightmare difficulty. The demons of Lilith are more robust, more powerful, and abundant. They drop loot corresponding to the difficulty you are playing on. In addition, monsters can drop cinders, a dedicated currency for helltide chests spread throughout the respective region. These chests provide an exclusive singular item slot piece of equipment. But you have to be wary, cause you fall in helltide you lose all your cinders. So make sure you don't hoard them.
Nightmare Dungeons are just as they sound; Dungeons of your nightmares. With massive amount of creatures and loot hauls. These Dungeons will become available to the player once you obtain a Nightmare Sigil, which is obtained by completing Dungeons in nightmare modes and will add special modifiers that increase the ferocity of monsters. Each Sigil provides a new form of modifier which increases the difficulty but also increases the potential for higher-rarity item drops. The more Nightmare Dungeons you complete, the more sigils you will receive, and you can continue to grow the dungeons up in difficulty, which benefits you in the end. New Nightmare Dungeons will become available with higher-tier look and awards as players increase in World Tiers.
The Whispers of the Dead is a similar concept to dailies. Once you complete a specific chapter of the main Questline, the Whispers of the Dead become available to the player. This Endgame mechanic will display whispers on your map scattered through Sanctuary, which change throughout the day. Once you complete these whispers, which are considered small tasks, you will get gold, experience, and Grim favors. The Grim Favors vary depending on the whispers you complete. But once you collect 10, you can exchange them at the Tree of Whispers for vast loot and experience.
Fields of Hatred are your PVP focused Endgame mechanics. Mephisto has cursed specific Sanctuary areas where players can dispatch demons to collect Seeds of Hatred. However, you must keep a keen eye as other players can also run into these areas and attack you for the seeds. But if you're quick, you can bring them to the Alter of Extraction and transform them into Red Dust. The benefit here is that once they are transformed into Red Dust, you cannot lose them if another player defeats them in battle. However, if you cannot get them transformed and you fall in battle, your seeds of hatred will be dropped and can be picked up by another player. So make sure to give yourself enough time. But what does the Red Dust do? Red Dust can be spent at the PVP Cosmetic and Mount Vendors for cosmetic rewards. Merely cosmetic attire, but worth it. These are to name a few Endgame modes.
More are expected to be announced in the game closer to the release date. Also, note that these can change depending on player feedback and experience.
