Let’s take a closer look at the Diablo 4 Nightmare Dungeons. In Diablo 4, the developers have introduced new mechanics, including tougher enemies and more valuable rewards.
Today we are going to tell you how to unlock these dungeons, and what you will encounter there. Also, we will discuss the most valuable rewards you can get from the Nightmare Dungeons.
What are Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4? (Season 1)
Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4 are modified versions of standard dungeons. It is reported that the game has around 150 of them. In order to access one of these dungeons, you will need to clear a certain stronghold.
If you want to turn a Dungeon into a Nightmare Dungeon, you’ll have to get a Nightmare Sigil. Each of them is bound to a specific Dungeon, which can modify it in a certain way.

There are many interesting items you can get from Nightmare Dungeons, such as Potions, Magic Gear, and more. However, the most important reward is probably Glyphs. These special runes are crucial for Paragon Boards, and help you to progress through them.
What are Nightmare Sigils in Diablo 4 and how to get them
According to the information we have so far, Nightmare Sigils in Diablo 4 are special keys you can use before you enter a certain dungeon. If you activate it, you’ll add special modifiers and make all the monsters inside stronger, converting a regular dungeon to a Nightmare Dungeon. Also, you’ll get an increased chance of finding better loot.
You can get Nightmare Sigils from an NPC called the Occultist. This character specialises in producing sigils and salvaging them. So, if you want to get rid of some Nightmare Sigilis and craft other ones, then you should go to him. Here is the list of his offerings:
| Sigil Type | Sigil Tier | Sigil Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Common Sigil | Tier 1-5 | x4 Sigil Powder, x4,000 Gold |
| Common Sigil | Tier 6-10 | x6 Sigil Powder, x6,000 Gold |
