Strongholds in Diablo 4 are best described as smaller dungeons found in the open world. They are often tucked away in larger areas such as abandoned villages, fortresses, or temples and feature tough enemies and bosses, as well as specific tasks for players to complete. Strongholds can be tackled at any point throughout the story and post-game.

Diablo 4’s Strongholds aren’t an easy challenge, as these locations will almost always be a couple of levels higher than your character level, and feature particularly strong encounters. However, they also offer great rewards like EXP, gold, loot, and the biggest Renown reward for liberating a stronghold.

Players who make a seasonal character will need to conquer Strongholds agains with each new character they make. Thankfully, their locations are displayed on the map right from the beginning of your seasonal character’s journey.
