The Dark Citadel New Endgame Revealed Diablo 4: Gameplay, Currency, Vendors and Rewards
The Dark Citadel
Say no more to bricked items. Everyone will play the Dark Citadel for this specific reward — The scroll of Retempering — this will allow you to reset your tempering *charges on your best items. Other rewards such as skins and buffs are highlighted below.
The Dark Citadel is a new Endgame feature that is coming in Vessel of Hatred. This Dungeon is divided in Areas called wings, Each wing having different bosses, puzzles and rewards.
There are 3 Wings that you can go through in The Dark Citadel and after clearing any of them you can save your progress.
Blizzard said that it should take at least a couple hourse to unlock the full extent of The Dark Citadel.
Blizzard said that this will be and entirely co-op game mode with all the mechanics based around working together with your party members to complete puzzles, open doors and reflect bosses attacks. This should create more ways for us to play together similar to Raids in other games. And at the same time, I'm pretty sure that for those who are used on playing alone, not having access to this feature might be bothersome.
From the looks of it, this game mode can’t be played solo, and we won’t be able to nuke the bosses down. Hopefully this will make it more interesting and difficult.
How to Unlock the Dark Citadel
To play in The Dark Citadel you need the new Expansion Vessel of Hatred.
The Dark Citadel Unlocks in Torment 1 difficulty.
Torment 1 difficulty is unlocked after clearing The Pit 15.
Once you have unlocked Torment 1 you’ll receive an introductory Quest to start having access to The Dark Citadel. Which means that this new Dungeon is part of the endgame.
*The Dark Citadel Quest only needs to be completed once on your Account.
Player Requirements for the Dark Citadel
The Dark Citadel requires a minimum of two players, but it’s recommended (by Blizzard) to play with a party of four.
Gameplay and Mechanics
The Dark Citadel comes with it’s own unique playstyle where you need to work together to complete puzzles, such as stepping on a lever to open the door for the other player (see photo above); or reflect attacks back at enemies in the Boss phase (see photo below).
“The Dark Citadel is the ultimate co-op challenge, the first of its kind in Diablo IV.”
Currency, Vendors and Rewards
Earn Weekly Rewards and Cosmetics within the Dark Citadel
Every week you can earn a Weekly Rewards cache the first time the Dark Citadel is completed. These caches could grant you resplendent and exclusive items only offered from Dark Citadel.
The Dark Citadel comes with brand new custom Cosmetic Transmogs that can be found.
Here are some of the Cosmetics that can be found only in The Dark Citadel game mode:
Vendors and Currency
Throughout the Dark Citadel, you’ll earn Citadel Coins, which are key to unlocking cosmetics exclusive to Dark Citadel.
The Dark Citadel has it’s own set of vendors that can sell new Scrolls and Elixirs some of which are:
Scroll of Retempering — this will allow you to reset your tempering *charges on your items.
Scroll of Contained Goblins — summons a Treasure Goblin inside Dungeons.
Scroll of Abundance — restores 30% health and drop Health Pots for Nearby teammates.
Let’s wait and see how fun or boring the new Puzzles and Mechanics within this game mode will be. But for me personally I’m looking forward at least for the FREE SKINS :)
