As the most anticipated Expansion in Diablo 4 series of games, Vessel Of Hatred has attracted many players to explore the new content and new Mechanisms.

As the first Group Raiding Activity in this Expansion, Dark Citadel is undoubtedly worth playing. Because of its team attributes, it actually allows players to get greater Rewards, such as Diablo 4 Gold, and faster clear times by cooperating with each other. To protect Nahantu from the threat of Khazra invasion.

Faced with the rich Activity content and Rewards contained in Dark Citadel, we believe many players will be tempted to participate actively. But first you need to understand the various related Mechanisms and information of Activity in order to carry out Activity more safely.

Based on this, we will introduce you to the precautions for joining this set of Dungeons.

How To Unlock Dark Citadel Activity?

Before officially starting this Activity, the first thing you need to do is to Unlock this Activity so that you can enter it. As a difficult Raid, Unlocking conditions of Dark Citadel are not very simple, and players need to complete the following pre-game content:

• Reach Level 60.
• Unlock Torment 1 Difficulty.
• Currently be in a Torment 1+ World.
• Beat Base game’s Campaign. Successfully Killing Lilith.

After you complete these, System will allow you to start a purple priority Quest titled Crater Of Lost Souls. Completing this Quest will officially Unlock Dark Citadel.

How To Find Dark Citadel?

Before finding Dark Citadel, you must first know the location of Warrior’s Camp. The location of this Camp is not specifically marked, but is highlighted as a whole Area on Map. Warrior’s Camp is located in the northeast of this Area.

After finding Warrior’s Camp and completing Crater Of Lost Souls Quest, you can find a Waypoint called Rise Of The Khazra in Area corresponding to Quest, which is the entrance to Dark Citadel. The specific entrance can be found through one of the three Doorways in Room.

How To Complete Dark Citadel Activity?

In Diablo 4 series of games, the main way to complete such Activities is to solve Puzzles and Boss Battles. Dark Citadel is no exception. There are four main things that players need to solve in Dark Citadel Activity.

1. Soul Siphons

This Puzzle works similarly to Blood Altar Activity in Overworld. To solve it, the first thing to do is to Charge Siphons. The specific operation is as follows:

• Click on Siphons to Activate.
• Have your game Character stand in the highlighted Area
• Wait light fills Crystal on the top of Soul Siphons completely.

Later, when Soul Siphons are fully Charged, Crystal will fall closer to the floor and dim. You must Activate both Soul Siphons in the same Room before you can proceed.

Once everything is done, you also need to pick up the glowing objects that all Soul Siphons dropped on the floor and place them in Altar near Door.

It is worth noting that if you team up with other players to solve this Puzzle, Soul Siphons can be Recharged faster. And all Soul Siphons can be Activated and Recharged at the same time. Obviously, the efficiency of teaming up will be higher.

2. Spirit Realm Teleportation

This Puzzle is usually used in Boss Battles. To solve it, it is best to team up, and you and your Teammates need to first Charge Portal in the center of Room. Follow the instructions below.

First Kill Gateway Guardian Elite Monsters to spawn Soul Shards on the ground. Then pick up these Soul Shards and Walk over Gateway to deposit collected Soul Shards.

After you collect enough Soul Shards, Gateway will automatically Activate and play the animation. After the animation is finished, the player standing in the glowing circular Area when this animation completes will be Teleported to Spirit Realm.

In Spirit Realm, you need to find and retrieve a marked Quest Item. Once Item is found, pick it up and return to Teleporter to return to the normal Dark Citadel Area.

Finally, Place the object into Spherical Statue in the same Room as Teleporter and you are done.

This Puzzle is harder to solve and will also appear during Last Boss Fight. In addition, when the player Travels through Spirit World, Impending Doom can be Stacked.

3. Group Door Puzzles

First of all, completing this Puzzle requires players to work in a group. Solving Puzzle requires players to remove Obstacles, and one player must stand on Button of the corresponding color, and then the other player can pass through Door to the other side.

These Doors have two Variations. One is that the second player can immediately stand on another Button to open Door for the first player.

The second is that there will be several Doors, one of which leads to Corridor. The second player must go down Corridor and interact with Statue at the end, which will Unlock a path for the first player.

4. Barrier Guardians

Puzzle is solved in one Room. There is a glowing Barrier on Door at the front of Room, and several symbols on the ground. Players usually encounter this Puzzle during Final Boss Fight of Labrinth Of Souls, The Second Wing Of Dark Citadel.

To solve it, first you need to find and Kill Barrier Guardians, then pick up Items in Alcoves. These Items usually appear when Barrier Guardians Die.

You can then use Teleporter in Alcove to return to the central Area and place Dropped Items on Pillars with the corresponding symbols on top. Repeat these steps until all Pillars are completed.

Finally, press Button on the circular Statue behind one of Pillars. You can eliminate Barrier and move on.

These are some of the main methods and related suggestions for completing Dark Citadel Activity. If you want to learn more, you can enter IGGM Discord.

Diablo 4 Season 6 lucky draw is currently going on here. Just leave your favorite expression to join. Act quickly!

Druids are a class that has faced some challenges but still has a lot of amazing builds in Diablo 4 Season 6. While it’s hard to compare to classes like Spiritborn right now, that will change with the release of the balance patch. Still, Druids are a very fun class to play, with strong tanking capabilities and survivability to survive even the most challenging content of the game.

Although Druids are not at the top of Diablo 4 Season 6 tier list, I am still a big fan of them. Companion/ally builds have received some attention, and I think these builds are excellent overall. Below, we have highlighted some of the most popular options in the current season.

1) Landslide

In Diablo 4 Season 6, Landslide build is still an excellent choice for players who like to control large groups of enemies and deal tremendous damage. It relies on stable resource generation, mainly through Earth Spike. With Landslide and Petrify, you can deal tremendous damage to multiple enemies.

In addition, you can also use Earthen Bulwark, Debilitating Roar, and the powerful Poison Creeper companion to enhance your combat effectiveness. In order to maximize the potential of this build, you may also need to spend Diablo 4 Gold to obtain Shard of Verathiel, but this also means that you will need more resource generation.

This build is simple to operate and fun. The only downside is that it does not perform as well in single target combat as it does in AOE. Therefore, the more enemies you face, the better this build will be.

2) Storm Summoner

In Diablo 4, Druids’ Companion builds have been significantly enhanced, making them a very ideal choice in the current build. This is mainly because of skills like Stormcrow’s Aspect, which allows Ravens to deal lightning damage. In addition, Paragon Board Untamed also gives this build an enormous boost, adding an extra 20% or so base damage to Companions every time you cast Companion skill, up to 80%.

Although this is a build that requires a lot of specific gear and resources to be most effective, its damage output is very solid, especially in the end-game, and it is particularly good against boss fights. In order to fully realize the potential of this build, you will need some key items such as Mad Wolf’s Glee, Storm’s Companion, Mjolnic Ryng, and Yen’s Blessing.

The most attractive part of this build is that Cataclysm spell does not use Spirit, and Wolves and Ravens can bring a lot of extra damage. Combined with Blood Howl and Cyclone Armor, as well as Claw, this build becomes quite powerful in Diablo 4.

3) Shred

Shred is an exciting but somewhat tricky choice. Although the constant movement can be uncomfortable, it is still a very powerful build. This build is extremely fast and can deal tremendous damage to single and group targets, but it does take some practice to master it.

Wildheart Hunger is one of the core skills of this build, ensuring that you switch forms at the right time. In addition, Waxing Gibbous can enhance your Shred and provide you with Stealth. In this build, you can also run Maul, Trample, Blood Howl, and Debilating Roar. Like most shapeshifting builds, it also benefits greatly from Mad Wolf’s Glee and the powerful Mjolnic Ryng.

This build looks very exciting as it allows you to transform, quickly move across the battlefield, and hit any enemies that stand in your way.

4) Lightning Storm

Ravens become even more powerful with the help of Stormcrow’s Aspect. However, this build that requires constant channeling is not for everyone and may not be as powerful as some other builds.

Additionally, you’ll need some very specific gear like Tempest Roar, Mad Wolf’s Glee, Unsung Ascetic’s Wraps, and Mjolnic Ryng, making this a very farm-intensive build. If you’re in need of these equipments, keep an eye out for the Diablo 4 Season 6 giveaway on the IGGM discord and leave your favorite emoji to enter.

5) Companion (Wolves)

Although this build isn’t AOE focused, using Companion or Wolves will summon a large pack of wolves that can do a lot of damage to a single target, and it’s relatively easy to set up. The only really challenging part is learning how to balance Shapeshifting buffs, Wildheart Hunger unique and Quickshift passive.

This build is very fun and unique. You can use Shred, Maul, and Lacerate to attack your enemies. Additionally, you can use Wolves and Poison Creeper to deal with minions, which can help you maintain an advantage when facing large numbers of enemies. In tense situations such as facing bosses/elites, you can also use Earthen Bulwark to increase defense and improve survivability.

Finally, you may also want to add Lith+Ceh to summon swarms of Spirit Wolves. These Spirit Wolves will provide you with additional attack power and support, making you more powerful in battle.

Overall, each build has its own unique charm and advantages. For Druid players, it will be a very interesting and rewarding experience to explore these different builds and find the best play style for them.
