Obtaining the platinum trophy inDiablo 4is only for hardcore enthusiasts who are willing tosink hours and hours of their grinding resources and XP for level upgrades. Thus, the toughest achievements in the game are not necessarily those that require the player to master the mechanics or perform highly skillful feats; rather, these trophies call for players' perseverance and patience with a dash of fortune. It is no doubt, after all, that in an open-world action RPG likeDiablo 4, a lot of difficult achievements are centered around side content and post-game content.
In that spirit, the list below covers the hardest-to-obtain achievements inDiablo 4. The trophy itself will be ranked based on the complexity of the challenge required as well as the time consumption for players. Lastly, the ranking also takes into account the completion rate for the trophy by the average player as per official data.
5Living Nightmares
Complete a Sacred And Ancestral Nightmare Dungeon
Nightmare Dungeonsare basically beefed-up versions of the standard dungeons in the main campaign ofDiablo 4. Although players will only need to complete one dungeon of each type,SacredandAncestral Nightmare Dungeon, both of these are riddled with tough enemies that always exceed the player’s tier by 54 levels. That means the enemies can go up to Tier 154 if the player enters the dungeon at a level of Tier 100.
Moreover,Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4 have a lot of Elites swarming the areawith multiple buffs or positive affixes. As for the player, negative affixes are applied, which will offer an even greater challenge for them to finish the dungeon, making this trophy a hard one to obtain.
4Estuar Sightseer
Explore All Of Estuar
This achievement is relatively straightforward but one of the more time-consuming ones on the list. To unlock the trophy, players simply need to explore all 309 possible areas in the game by moving their character in order to eventually remove the Fog of War from the entire map. Thankfully, players can keep the progress of this trophy by navigating to the Renown tab from the in-game menu and keeping track of how many regions and sub-regions are still left to be explored. Some of the areas will need completion of the main campaign as they are locked off initially.
The trophy is purely designed for platinum hunters as Diablo 4’s map is huge with lots of NPC interactions, encounters, and loot, so it is one for which players can expect to sink a reasonable amount of time. Even though scanning every nook and cranny is probably not needed for the full experience, as many of these areas will not be populated by any NPCs or resources, it would still be painstakingly required for the Estuar Sightseer achievement.
3Chaotic Whispers
Open 10 Caches Of Chaos From The Tree Of Whispers
After completing the main story, players are given access to bounties, calledWhisper of the Dead, throughout the map in World Tier three and four difficulty levels. The reward for finishing the bounties, which may involve killing X number of regular enemies to menacing dungeon bosses, will beGrim Favors. Due to the challenge of these bounties and the long respawn times between the dungeon bosses, collecting enough Grim Favors can be quite daunting. By enough Grim Favors, it’s intended that a minimum of 10 Grim Favors will be sufficient when exchanged for Caches at theTree of Whispers.
However, because of randomness and different types of obtainable caches, players are not guaranteed they will be rewardedCaches of Chaosspecifically, which is the only type acceptable for this achievement to unlock. This will ultimately mean that players need to go through the grind, keep trying to finish these bounties, andhope for good fortune when claiming caches from Tree of Whispers.
2True Perseverance
Reach Level 50 With A Hardcore Character
Hardcore is a Permadeath mode inDiablo 4, so any death will mean a complete reset of the character’s level. Essentially, this means the player will need to level up their character to 50 in a single go without dying once. In terms ofRenownprogress, this would mean that most of the content in three regions out of the five needs to be completed to reach level 50. Although the achievement is still quite challenging, there are certain ways to cut down on the effort and risks involved with the hardcore mode.
If players have completed the campaign with a non-hardcore character, they are able to completely skip the campaign on their next run with the Hardcore character. This greatly cuts down on the grind needed to rank up the character to level 50. Moreover, players may choose a class that has strong defensive and evasive capabilities, likeRogue,Sorcerer, andRebellion. Lastly, it goes without saying that for the easiest time, playing Hardcore mode on World Tier 1: Adventurer difficulty is recommended. Despite all of this, players can still be at risk of dying to tough dungeon bosses, world bosses, and rare random bosses likeThe Butcher, who is incredibly quick and lethal.
1End of the First Mother
Defeat Uber Lilith
This is the ultimate challenge for mostDiablo 4players and their greatest hurdle toward the platinum trophy in the game: the superbossUber Lilith.She is a post-game boss, a far more powerful and superior version of the Liliththat players face at the end of the main campaign. After players finish the campaign and progress their character far enough into the endgame, they can face off against Uber Lilith by navigating to theEcho of Hatred Capstone Dungeon. As if the boss alone wasn’t too difficult, she is only accessible at World Tier 4: Torment difficulty and has a character level of 100.
So for players to even endure the duration of the fight, they need to be at least at a level of 100, which is a very rare achievement itself, only obtained by 9% of players on the Playstation Network. In order to do any significant damage, players should have all gear items upgraded up to 800 Power level. Certain affixes and well-optimized builds for each class are highly desirable to stand a chance in battle against the hard-hitting Uber Lilith, so ultimately, it is a matter of incredible skill, thoughtful preparation, and sheer perseverance. Lastly, players can also seek help from friends in co-op to add a layer of class variety and team-based maneuvers to defeat Uber Lilith and accomplish this incredible feat.
