Diablo 4’s story is only half of the experience. The other half is what you can do beyond the campaign. If you’re like me and you were not satisfied by Diablo 4’s ending, luckily there are many things to do in the end-game. However, not all are that great but the following list will run through the best things to do after beating Diablo 4’s campaign.
Diablo 4: 13 Best endgame activities
The good thing: Blizzard Entertainment has left an endless amount of content that you can do after the campaign. On top of that, tons of content can only be accessed when you beat Diablo 4’s story. So let’s get back into the action.
Paragon Leveling
You can get access to this system after you’ve leveled to 50, however, it seems to be a better idea during the endgame. Through the Paragon Board, you can enhance your build and make it one that’s unique to you. If you want to hone a certain aspect of the build, the board can help with that.
Tree of Whispers
This is one of the best things to do after beating Diablo 4’s campaign. This tree gives out more quests and bounties. They cycle out, so each time you go to it, there will be something new to do. It’s worth it as well. Apart from getting XP and gold, you’ll also get Legendary gear. Sometimes you may even get a whole set.
Capstone Dungeons
These dungeons will be available after you beat the campaign of Diablo 4. While there are tons of endgame dungeons, Capstone Dungeons seem to be on the harder end. Not only are they tougher, but they also take more time. But we suggest you do them after the endgame. When you complete one, you’re able to go to a higher World Tier.
Helltide Events
These events only happen on World Tier 3 and 4 and randomly appear. What makes them one of the best things to do after you beat the campaign in Diablo 4, is that the enemies will drop very rare loot. In some cases, Helltides will have bosses that drop even more rare loot. But make sure you’re well-equipped to deal with these events, things may get out of hand quickly.
Nightmare Dungeons
Much like Capeston Dungeons, these are a task on their own. The good thing about completing them, these dungeons may drop high-level loot like Instaible Fury or Tempest Roar. However, to open them you must find a Nightmare Sigil in Sanctuary. Each Sigil will only open the dungeon it’s designated for, so this may also add more play time to your game by locating each one.
Do the Renown
This is the challenge system of Diablo 4 and is a great way of getting more skill points after beating the campaign. For each World Tier, it seems like the Renown objectives change. Doing these challenges will not only give you at least ten skill points, but you’ll also other rewards like gear, money, or XP.
Try out the PVP
This mechanic has been overhauled in Diablo 4 and has gotten more competitive. There’s no PVP in Diablo 4’s open-world. However, there are zones. These are called Fields of Hatred, located in the Dry Steppes. In these zones, you’ll fight both PVE and PVP, and your rewards will be Shards of Hatred. These shards can be extracted to give you Red Dust. One of the reasons why this is a great thing to do after Diablo 4’s campaign, is that it keeps you on edge. If you’re doing really well during the PVP mode you’ll be marked, allowing other players to swoop in and kill you, and gain even more XP from you.
World Bosses
We saw a taste of what they can do during the betas earlier in the year. If you’re planning on taking them on, make sure your build and the team’s makeup are right. On top of that, participating in a world event with includes players both in and outside your party, so ensure you and everyone else have a sound strategy. These boss fights will last a while, so be prepared for a long fight.
Switch classes
When you beat Diablo 4’s story, you can opt to replay the game either by skipping the story entirely and going to the endgame, or redoing it. If you skip the story, things may be harder with your new character, but you can be engaged better. Plus, you can get a plethora of endgame loot early on. This may also level you up faster, so it could be a good idea to start at the end game early on.
Jump to a higher World Tier
Doing this has pros and cons. The positives are that you get more gold and XP when you’re on World Tier 3 or 4. That just means you can level up faster. However, the downside is that since they’re higher levels, Diablo 4 as a whole just got harder. Enemies are now more formidable and can take more damage. That’s why it’s recommended to do these tiers after you’ve either leveled up high enough or, have beaten the game.
Invest in your Paragon board
Once you unlock the board, you can take your character and make them by using these points. While they are passive stats, you’ll see your hero become stronger, a new-found strength you’ll need in the end-game of Diablo 4. These points are class-specific, so you can make something unique to you.
Seasonal Questlines
Since Diablo 4 is a live-service game, you can expect many items like the Bloodforged Sigil. It’s not just items you’ll be greeted by each season, but whole new questlines that keep things fresh. For Season 2 Season of Blood, you can take on the nightmarish vampires. Even though the event is limited, there’s still a ton with the campaign. You’d be doing a disservice to yourself to miss out.
Attempt the Echo of Lilth
After beating her in the main story, you can fight her clone again. This time she’s harder and is considered the worst of the worst in terms of boss battles. The Echo is a level 100 boss, so before you go in and fight her, make sure you’re well-equipped and have tons of health potions on your side. The good thing about fighting the Echo of Lilth is that you have a better understanding of how your character works, this can make the fight easier since you know how to deal with harder bosses at that point.
