In Diablo 4 Season of the Malignant, players constantly seek ways to maximize their Renown. One of the most effective strategies is to complete side quests and dungeons in each region. This guide provides a detailed overview of these quests, including their locations, objectives, maps, strategies, tips, and information about prerequisites and subsequent quests where applicable.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Importance of Side Quests and Dungeons
Side Quests
Side quests are a valuable source of Renown, gold, and experience. They often reward players with special caches containing valuable crafting materials or equipment. Therefore, it’s beneficial to undertake as many side quests as possible in each region. Side quests scale to your level, so don’t be deterred by the quest levels shown in the chart. These primarily reflect the level at which the quest was completed when the screenshots were taken. Some older intro graphics were taken during beta testing when there were recommended levels, but these are no longer applicable.
Dungeons
Dungeons are integral to the Diablo 4 experience, often linked to side quests and providing additional challenges and rewards. Running dungeons together with side quests allows players to double down on Renown, making them an essential part of the game’s strategy.
