Kurast Undercity: Difference between revisions

The '''Kurast Undercity''', introduced in Diablo 4's "Vessel of Hatred" expansion, is a multi-level, time-attack dungeon beneath the city of Kurast. Players race against the clock, defeating enemies and completing events across three distinct districts to reach unique bosses. Success is rewarded with valuable loot, scaling with your performance.

==Unlocking the Undercity==

On completion of the [[Vessel of Hatred]] campaign, Ormus will ask you to undertake a few small quests which introduce players to endgame content, including the Undercity.

To gain access to the Kurast Undercity, start by completing the "'''Reunion'''" [https://www.purediablo.com/diablo4/map/?markerId=marker_1728251710639 Map] quest from the Vessel of Hatred Campaign, ensuring you are Level 15 or above. This accomplishment will activate the Priority Quest "'''The Kurast Undercity'''," [https://www.purediablo.com/diablo4/map/?markerId=marker_1728433717961 Map] beginning at the Kurast Bazaar. From there, you will navigate through a series of tasks, moving between different areas of the city and the Undercity itself, tackling challenges in each district. The quest chain ultimately leads to a confrontation with Alia, marking the final step to fully unlock the dungeon and complete the storyline.

== Accessing the Undercity==

=== Tribute and Bargain===

Offering a Tribute and Bargain at the Brazier allows you to customize the kinds of rewards you receive for completing the Undercity.

'''Tributes''' can be earned by completing activities such as [[Nightmare Dungeons]], events, [[Whispers_of_the_Dead|Whispers]] and Undercity runs (see table below).  They are fairly rare drops. These Tributes can be offered at the Spirit Brazier to target specific rewards for your next run, but doing so will also increase the challenges you face. The difficulty of these challenges scales with the quality of the Tribute and the [[difficulty|current difficulty]] level of your world. Higher-quality Tributes grant unique bonuses, such as Increased Experience Gain or awarding Runes upon completion. To claim these bonus rewards, you must reach at least Rank 1 Attunement, with successive ranks boosting the rewards even further.

'''Bargains''' are modifiers applied to Tributes at the Spirit Brazier. After placing a Tribute, you can select a Bargain to customize your run's rewards, such as increasing the chances of obtaining items with specific affixes or guaranteeing certain types of drops. Activating a Bargain requires resources like crafting materials or gold, so choose based on your current goals and available materials.

== Beating the Undercity ==

There are three Districts in the Undercity and within each of them, there are 3 levels and 1 Boss level.  You do not get to select which District you will get when you activate the Undercity portal.

Depending on which Tribute, if any, you offered at the Spirit Brazier you will begin with a set amount of time on a timer that sits next to the minimap.  If this timer runs out before you make it through all three levels you will fail the dungeon.  However, you can add seconds to the timer by destroying Afflicted monsters and objects.  There are different levels of afflicted monsters and the tougher the monster the more seconds you earn killing them.  

The objective is to build your <span class='white'>Attunement Rank</span> up to level 4 and make it through the portal to the boss level before the time runs out. The higher your Attunement Rank the better your rewards will be when you have killed the final boss.

You increase your Attunement by killing monsters and igniting multiple Beacons positioned across each level offers an even greater boost to Attunement.

Portal Pranksters, unique to the Kurast Undercity dungeon, add a twist to your run. These elusive [[Treasure Goblin]]s dart through a series of portals as soon as you approach, pulling you into a fast-paced chase through the dungeons. If you manage to catch and defeat one, you'll unlock a bonus chest containing valuable loot, including Tributes, Runes, and other powerful rewards.
