Terror Zones

Updated: 24 September 2022

Terror Zones were added as a new feature in Diablo 2 Resurrected patch 2.5. This feature is optional and can be toggled on or off via the Game Creation options.

How do Terror Zones Work?

Players can start a Terror Zone-enabled game where every hour higher level monsters will appear in specific zones. These monsters are at least two levels higher than the player’s current level or their original level, up to a maximum per difficulty.

Loot and experience gained by the player are based on the new level while players gain additional experience points based on this new level. In addition, terrorized monsters will also grant additional experience points.

Difficulty Levels

The level details for each monster type per difficulty are as follows:

Normal

• Base: +2 levels up to level 45
• Champion: +4 levels up to level 47
• Unique: +5 levels up to level 48

Nightmare

• Base: +2 levels up to level 71
• Champion: +4 levels up to level 73
• Unique: +5 levels up to level 74

Hell

• Base: +2 levels up to level 96
• Champion: +4 levels up to level 98
• Unique: +5 levels up to level 99

The base player level used for the above calculations are taken from the creator of the game. If the host leaves the game, a new player will be selected for the base.

Notifications

Upon entering a Terror Zone-enabled game, players are informed of the current terrorized areas via the chat box.  Players are warned in advance just prior to a terrorized zone starting, again, via the chat box.

Indicators inform players in the following ways:

• Unique iconography next to a terrorized monster’s name
• On-screen text and messaging
• Special audio cue
• In-game text on the auto-map
