Diablo 4 Dungeon Affixes

Nightmare and Torment dungeons in Diablo 4 are a thrilling challenge that can provide great rewards for those who brave them. The unique aspect of these dungeons is the use of Nightmare Sigils, which apply special modifiers or "Affixes" to the dungeons, altering the gameplay dynamics in various ways. The affixes range from positive bonuses that can enhance your character's performance to negative effects that ramp up the dungeon's difficulty. Understanding these affixes is key to navigating these dungeons successfully.

D4 Nightmare and Torment Dungeon Affixes

Nightmare Sigils in Diablo 4 are special items that apply affixes to normal dungeons, transforming them into Nightmare Dungeons. These affixes can have both positive and negative effects on your gameplay. The number of affixes applied by a sigil increases with the sigil's level. For instance, a level 1-10 sigil provides three affixes (one positive and two negatives), a level 11-20 sigil provides four affixes, and from level 21 onwards, you'll have to deal with five affixes.
