Diablo IV has eight difficulty levels, but the highest four are locked when you start the game. If you’re getting into Diablo because of Vessel Of Hatred and wondering how you’re supposed to get to that next level, here’s how to unlock Torment difficulty, where the endgame begins.

How difficult is Torment in Diablo 4?

While each difficulty level lower than Torment increases the power of enemies and the experience gained from defeating them, Torment adds unique aspects not found in simpler levels.

Starting with Torment 1, ancestral items (even more powerful than legendary items) can be obtained. New activities and items become available and the drop rate for legendary, unique, and unique mythic items is increased. All of these increase as you push the difficulty towards Torment 2, 3, and 4. Torment 4 is the highest difficulty currently available for open world.

Starting from Torment 1, your armor and resistances are reduced. This also increases as you approach Torment 4, which reduces your armor and resistances to 0. Given how difficult it can be to stay alive even on lower difficulties, this difficulty level is for those who want to demonstrate their mastery of Diablo IV’s systems, mechanics, and character class.

Difficulty levels can be changed before starting the game and while you are in the game, by visiting the statues found in Cerrigar (Scosglen), Kyovashad (Fractured Peaks), Kurast Bazaar (Nahantu) and others.

How to unlock Torment difficulty?

The highest difficulty available before unlocking these Torment levels is “Penitent”. If that’s not enough for you, you’ll need to do the following to unlock Torment 1 difficulty:

Artificer’s Pit is a repeatable, timed dungeon located in Cerrigar (Scosglen). You’ll find the Artificer’s Obelisk (Portal Activator) just northwest of the Cerrigar waypoint.

If Penitent is legitimately too easy for you, you can definitely cut to the chase and do level 20 as your first playthrough. If you prefer to start at easier levels, you will still earn rewards that will help you increase your power and you can reach level 20 in no time.

The three Artificer Stones you’ll need to activate the Artificer’s Pit can be obtained by completing the following activities, so you’ll need to gather them first:

Now that you have all the information you need to unlock the Torment difficulty, go ahead and collect these ancient items. Happy hunting!
