Diablo 4 DLC: What Should You Do After Beating Vessel Of Hatred's Main Campaign?

The main campaign of Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred is just the beginning of the adventure. Once you complete the main story, a world of endless possibilities will open up to you. From finding and destroying demons in a vast open world to challenging those cleverly designed secret dungeons with varying degrees of difficulty, and more activities are waiting for players to explore.

Faced with such a rich selection of content, many players may not know which new things to try first. Below, we will introduce you to some suggestions to help you better enjoy the game after completing Vessel of Hatred.

7. Complete Deeds Of A Champion Quest

Deeds Of A Champion Quest will automatically unlock after you beat the main story and serve as a gateway to introduce endgame activities. If you are unsure of what to do next after completing Vessel of Hatred’s main campaign, Deeds Of A Champion Quest will be a perfect starting point.

By doing this quest, you will familiarize yourself with several key locations - Kurast Undercity, Tree of Whispers, Helltide, and Pit of the Artificer. Below, we will introduce each place and its featured activities.

6. Farm Cinders To Open Tortured Gifts

In Diablo 4’s endgame, Helltide is a core activity that provides players with a constant challenge and rich rewards. Every hour, random areas of the game’s map will be covered in Helltide, which are infested with demons and present opportunities for brave adventurers to earn loot. By defeating these demons, players can earn Aberrant Cinders, which can be used to open Tortured Gifts in Helltide.

It is important to note that when Helltide moves to a new area, your Aberrant Cinders do not transfer with it. This means that you must use them before they disappear or you will lose this hard-earned currency.

The rewards provided by Tortured Gifts are very attractive, including large amounts of Diablo 4 Gold, experience points, and the opportunity to obtain legendary or unique equipment, which are important resources for improving the strength of your characters.

To more effectively deal with Helltide, many players recommend the strategy of using Baneful Hearts to summon Blood Maiden. The Blood Maiden is a powerful ally that provides a lot of support in battle and drops numerous Aberrant Cinders and other valuable loot after defeating enemies. This makes her one of the ideal choices for fighting against Helltide.

5. Unlock Kurast Undercity

Kurast Undercity is a challenging endgame activity in Diablo 4 that can be gradually unlocked by completing Deeds of a Champion quest. This introductory quest consists of two key steps: Kurast Undercity and Undercity: Wail of the Forgotten. Once completed, you can freely explore Kurast Undercity.

Kurast Undercity is designed as a complex maze-like structure divided into three levels. The first two levels are mainly timed tasks, where you need to act quickly to overcome various obstacles and defeat the enemies that keep coming.

It is worth noting that there are some Braziers scattered throughout these two levels, which can increase your Attunement by lighting them or simply destroying the surrounding monsters. Gaining a high Attunement can increase your chances of obtaining rare rewards from the boss in the third level.

4. Participate In Infernal Hordes Activity

Before participating in Infernal Hordes activity, players need to obtain Infernal Compass. It can be crafted from Occultist or dropped as a reward from other activities such as Nightmare Dungeons or Helltide. Once you have Infernal Compass, you can participate in Infernal Hordes activity. Completing these activities will earn your Aether, which can be exchanged for rich loot after the battle.

3. Clear Nightmare Dungeons

Nightmare Dungeons are popular among players because of their high chance of dropping powerful equipment and Masterworking materials. To enter Nightmare Dungeons, you first need to complete other Nightmare Dungeons or craft them at Occultist to obtain a specific Nightmare Sigil. Clearing Nightmare Dungeons can earn Obducite, which can be used to Masterwork your gear.

2. Defeat Uber Bosses

In order to summon Uber Bosses, you need to collect specific materials, and the type of these materials depends on the boss you hope to face. Usually, these materials can be obtained by participating in other types of endgame activities, such as Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide, or World Bosses. After defeating Uber Bosses, you will obtain Uniques and Mythic Uniques.

1. Clear Dark Citadel

In Dark Citadel, multiple players need to team up to explore a large dungeon and face a series of powerful enemies and bosses together. Because of the extremely high difficulty of this mode, Dark Citadel only supports multiplayer cooperative mode, but it provides a Party Finder tool for players to recruit teammates to join their team.

Dark Citadel is divided into three wings, each with a unique environment and enemy layout, as well as powerful bosses to overcome. Dark Citadel is considered the second most difficult endgame activity in the game after Uber Bosses. Therefore, it is best to accumulate enough equipment and experience through other activities before taking on the challenge of Dark Citadel.

Through the above suggestions, we hope to help you enjoy the game better and continue to challenge yourself and improve your strength in the world of Diablo 4.
