Best Diablo 4 Nightmare Dungeon Tier List - Phase 1 & 2 Objectives, Bosses, Enemy Type

6/13/2023 11:28:52 AM

Hate dungeons where you have to kill all enemies? Have great AOE clear but bad single target and want to avoid dungeons with bosses? Want to farm certain mobs for their crafting materials while leveling glyphs? We've made a dungeon cheatsheet that tracks 1st, and 2nd objectives, bosses, & mob types for more D4 Gold. So far we have (what we believe to be) all nightmare dungeons currently in rotation. Will be filling out the rest of the dungeons soon and will update the list when the rotation changes.
