If you beat the game once over, you unlock the other two named: Nightmare and Torment. Getting to the third level is one thing, but learning how to unlock World Tier 3 in Diablo 4 is another. Read on, if you want to face the demons on a harder level.

Diablo 4: How to unlock World Tier 3

Before jumping into World Tier 3, it’s good to know that you will be pushed. Even if you pick Necromancer build that uses skeletons do its work.

Unlocking World Tier 3 in Diablo 4 is not that long of a process. First, you must beat the game’s campaign on World Tier 2. On top of that, complete the Cathedral of Light dungeon in Kyovashad. After you’ve fulfilled those requirements, World Tier 3 should unlock automatically.

As mentioned, World Tier 3 will take you to the limit and should be done only when you’re ready. Meaning, you have to be at least level 50 and have a build that can take on the punishment.

This applies to playing on hardcore as well. If you want to unlock World Tier 3 in the Hardcore mode, you must have done the two requirements in the Hardcore mode of World Tier 2 first.

Benefits of playing on World Tier 3

While the difficulty is heightened in World Tier 3, you will still be rewarded for your deeds. For World Tier 1 and 2, you can get Legendary gear. In World Tier 3, expect Sacred and Unique armor drops, so you can enhance your build even further. Nightmare Sigils, which can unlock Nightmare Dungeons, appear now.

Enemy drops are also altered in this tier as well. Enemies give out 100 percent more XP and drop 15 percent more gold. On the other hand, they are harder to deal with they can do more damage. Since enemies drop a healthy amount of XP and gold in World Tier 2, it’s a good idea to play on that level first. This way, you’ll get a head start when you dive into the Hell that is World Tier 3.
