↖ The Best Nightmare Dungeon: Uldur's Cave

After extensive testing of all the nightmare dungeons available, Uldur's Cave has emerged as the top choice for XP and Gold farming. With its recent inclusion and major changes to other dungeons like Iron Hold, Uldur's Cave provides superior XP, Gold and item farming opportunities. The removal of elite packs in Iron Hold has significantly decreased its effectiveness, making Uldur's Cave the undisputed champion in terms of both experience and item acquisition.

 

↖ About Uldur's Cave dungeon

Uldur's Cave is a dungeon located in Kehjistan, specifically on the Ragged Coastline. This particular dungeon is known for being relatively easy to complete, with a straightforward layout and minimal backtracking required. However, adventurers should exercise caution when facing the charging beasts and ranged bees that inhabit the cave. Despite these minor obstacles, Uldur's Cave is a fast and efficient dungeon, featuring only one elite boss encounter.

 

Upon your first completion of Uldur's Cave, you will be rewarded with 30 Renown, which contributes to your overall progression in the game. Additionally, you will receive the Necromancer's ‍Offensive Aspect of the Damned, a powerful offensive choice for Necromancers who make use of curses and Shadow Damage.

 

Objectives	Description
Destroy the Barricades (3)	As you explore Uldur's Cave, you will encounter three barricades obstructing your progress. These barricades must be destroyed to proceed deeper into the dungeon.
Slay all enemies in the Bandit Hideout	The Bandit Hideout within Uldur's Cave is filled with a mix of melee-focused bandits and ranged weapon-wielding adversaries. Your goal is to eliminate all enemies, ensuring none remain standing in your path.
Slay the Ringleader	Deep within Uldur's Cave, you will confront a powerful enemy known as the Ringleader. This formidable boss is the sole boss encounter in the dungeon. Engage in a fierce battle to emerge victorious.
Tips and Warnings	Stay vigilant throughout the dungeon, being cautious of charging beasts and ranged bees that can pose a threat. Leverage your offensive capabilities, particularly if you are a Necromancer, and utilize curses and Shadow Damage to overcome challenges.

 

↖ Testing the New Nightmare Dungeons

While Uldur's Cave reigns supreme, it's important to note that the testing of the other 30 nightmare dungeons is still ongoing. We are diligently running these dungeons multiple times to explore different events, enemy variations, and potential XP value changes. Keep an eye out for future updates as we continue to uncover the strengths and weaknesses of each dungeon.

 

↖ Class Changes and Considerations

Diablo 4 introduces significant changes to various classes, affecting their power and playstyle. The Necromancer class, despite alterations, remains a potent choice for the upcoming season. Preliminary tests indicate that the Necromancer's performance is still impressive, assuring fans of this class that it remains viable.

 

The Sorcerer, on the other hand, has undergone substantial changes, and our testing is currently underway to assess the impact of these modifications. The Rogue class, however, appears to maintain its strength and will likely continue to be a popular choice among players.

 

↖ Updates to XP Values and Route Adjustments

With the latest patch, Diablo 4 has introduced adjustments to XP values, requiring players to spend more time in certain areas, such as Cordyceps Forest and Nekseh's Hold. We are diligently working on updating our Google sheet guide to accommodate these changes. Our goal is to create separate sheets for each section, ensuring better organization and easy access on various devices.

 

↖ Splintering Aspects and Glyph Upgrades

Despite the changes to Splintering Aspects, we still recommend acquiring it due to its valuable cone effect, essential for pulling formidable foes like Gorger Gun and Inyxia. The gold run slums continue to be a reliable source for obtaining Splintering Aspects. Additionally, completing the associated dungeon is necessary to unlock the skill point in that region.

 

↖ Bug Reports and Dungeon Resets

During our testing, we encountered a bug that prevented glyph upgrades upon defeating an Elite in one instance. We suspect this to be an isolated issue and are investigating further. However, rest assured that resetting nightmare dungeons is still possible, allowing you to farm efficiently and progress.

 

Conclusion:

As Diablo 4 evolves, it's essential to stay informed about the best strategies for XP and Gold farming. Uldur's Cave currently stands as the ultimate nightmare dungeon, providing exceptional experience gains and valuable item drops. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to explore and analyze the new nightmare dungeons.
