Diablo 4: How to Unlock the Glacial Fissure Nightmare Dungeon

Unlocking the Glacial Fissure Nightmare Dungeon in Diablo 4 requires some questing and grinding. This guide will walk you through the steps to access this unique dungeon and face the powerful Endgame Boss known as the Beast in the Ice.

Play Diablo 4 in World Tier 4

To unlock the Glacial Fissure Nightmare Dungeon, you must play Diablo 4 in World Tier 4. This dungeon is specifically designed to house the Beast in the Ice, making it a challenging and rewarding encounter. By defeating this boss, you can potentially obtain unique item drops. You can access this boss fight on either the Seasonal or the Eternal Realm, as long as you meet the following requirements:

  • 9x Distilled Fear: Obtained as a drop from completing Tier 30+ Nightmare Dungeons. This item is difficult to obtain since it is not a guaranteed drop. Good luck!
  • 250x Sigil Powder: Salvaged from Sigils at The Occultist. The amount of Sigil Powder you receive depends on the rarity of the Sigil. Higher tier Sigils yield more Sigil Powder.

Craft the Glacial Fissure Nightmare Sigil

Once you have collected the required materials, visit The Occultist and craft the Glacial Fissure Nightmare Sigil. This crafted item will allow you to enter the Glacial Fissure Nightmare Dungeon and face the Beast in the Ice. The dungeon is located in the Desolate Highlands, just south of Kyovashad.

Now that you have unlocked the Glacial Fissure Nightmare Dungeon, it’s time to prepare for your battle against the powerful Beast in the Ice. Engage in combat by avoiding his attacks and striking from behind. Equip cold resistance gear or consume cold resistance-boosting items like potions, as the boss primarily uses cold-based attacks.
