Diablo 4 Guide

This Diablo 4 guide is a collection of the most important information and tips that will help you eliminate hordes of hellish monsters that you will face while traversing the dangerous world of Sanctuary. You will learn about all character classes and their skills. We suggest how to navigate the open world, what traders and characters you will encounter in cities, as well as how to gain experience and level up your character. We have also prepared walkthroughs for main and side quests, and discussed technical topics related to Diablo 4. Our interactive map will certainly be a big help.

Diablo 4: Guide content

We start the guide with the section about the basics, where you will learn practical starting tips that will greatly facilitate your first moments in the world of Sanctuary. We describe the difficulty levels available in the game, and suggest which character class is the best. You will also read about the available difficulty levels - World Tiers. We also devoted a separate page to the description of the not very intuitive interface.

In the FAQ section, we answer the most frequently asked questions. You will find out, among other things, whether you can choose the gender of the hero, whether you can play solo and whether there is an option to play offline. We also write about equipment, answering questions such as what are Aspects , how to change weapons, and how to collect Murmuring Obols. In the campaign section, we explain whether there is a cow level, how to use fast travel, how to change the time of day, how many acts are in the game and how to unlock world tier 3. You will also find answers to technical issues, such as offline mode, crossplay or zooming out of the camera. At the end of this chapter, you'll learn how to find tortured chests and what the Tree of Whispers is, and how to defeat the two most important bosses in the game.

In the Builds section, we present a list of all available character classes along with information about their skills and equipment. You will also learn the best builds for each class that will help you prepare for the most difficult challenges in the game.

In the World atlas, you will find the locations of all Altars of Lilith, thanks to which you will gain bonuses and aspects, divided by character class.

The guide ends with an appendix. This is where you will learn about all the technical aspects of the game, including PC system requirements, languages and editions of Diablo 4. You will also find a list of controls for each hardware platform, as well as accessibility options.

Diablo 4: Tips and tricks

  1. Collect healing potions - if enemies drop a healing potion, heal yourself using the potion in your inventory and pick up a new one to replenish your supply. Try to always have full health, because you don't know when you can be attacked by hordes of enemies.
  2. Explore the areas thoroughly - the world of Diablo 4 has a lot to offer and it's worth exploring it thoroughly. Instead of running directly to the quest marker, take a detour to get experience and valuable equipment from defeated monsters. You can also find dungeons with more loot to collect.
  3. Experiment with skills - you can reset previously spent skill points at any time to allocate them elsewhere. Just right-click on the selected skill. This costs gold, but it is extremely cheap. It's worth experimenting to adjust the play style to your needs.
  4. Evade - each class has the Evade skill, which can save you from death more than once. As soon as you're surrounded by enemies, press Spacebar (PC), Circle (PS) or B (Xbox) to move away to a safe distance and avoid damage.

You can find more tips on the following page: Tips and tricks.
