IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT SET DUNGEONS!

The 6 Piece Bonus Must Be Active: The six-piece set bonus must be active for the Pilar to spawn and enter the portal. You can do this by equipping all 6 pieces or equipping 5 pieces with a Ring of Royal Grandeur worn or in Kanai’s Cube.

Hardcore Players CANNOT DIE in Set Dungeons: When you would normally die, instead you will be set to 1hp. Monster’s attack animations will still go through but no damage will result. When the Portal spawns DO NOT EXIT! Any monster dragged to the location will be waiting for you. It is best to clear the area around the Pilar, along with setting the game difficulty to Normal as the dungeons are pre-determined. The safest measure can be to teleport back to town directly inside the set dungeon.

Set Dungeon Maps Do Not Change: Each set has its own unique map layout, monster types, and mob density. This is great for planning out your route based on the map you are in and allows you to develop your own strategy for completing the Dungeon. It is okay not to complete the dungeon on your 1^st, 3^rd or even 10^th time. This is a learning experience as much as a gaming experience. Take your time and learn a little more each time.

Followers Are Allowed: Followers can accompany you into the set Dungeon, however, it is best to leave them behind as many of their crowd control attacks can interfere with set dungeon objective.

Set Dungeons Must Be Completed By You: Allies are allowed to help you by pulling and killing monsters, however, credit will not be awarded to them. The player that started the dungeon is the only one to get credit for completing it.

Rewards for Completing & Mastering: Mastering a Set Dungeon gives you a new Banner Sigil. Mastering all Set Dungeons for a class grants an exclusive Pennant. Completing the basic requirements for all Set Dungeons will award an exclusive pair of Wings. Completing the Mastery requirements for all of them will give you another set of Wings.

Embodiment of the Marauder

PORTAL LOCATION: ACT 3 – BRIDGE OF KORSIKK

Directions: Take the waypoint to the Bridge of Korsikk. You will need to make your way past the monsters to the center of the map. You will find the portal at the end of the little path that is hanging over the pit of fire. This map is a little big, so here is a hint! Remember the objective in Campaign Mode for this area? It was where you had to destroy 3 Demonic Ballistae and The Trebuchet in the Objective Machines of War. The portal is located where The Trebuchet was.

• 1st Objective– Kill all monsters without taking fatal damage.
• 2nd Objective– kill enemies with 3 or more Sentries active (140 enemies).
• 3rd Objective– Do not allow any enemies into melee range.

Natalya’s Vengeance

PORTAL LOCATION: ACT 1 – WORTHAM CHAPEL CELLAR

Directions: Take the waypoint to the Wortham Chapel Cellar. Make you way to the exit of the cellar and go through the Wortham entrance. As soon as you enter into Wortham from the cellar, you will find the portal directly to the upper right side of the entrance you just came through.

• 1st Objective– Kill all monsters without taking fatal damage.
• 2nd Objective– Maintain a Rain of Vengeance for 90 seconds.
• 3rd Objective– Do not exhaust your Hatred.

Shadow’s Mantle

PORTAL LOCATION: ACT 5 – PANDEMONIUM FORTRESS LEVEL 2

Directions: Take the waypoint to Pandemonium Fortress Level 2. You will need to make your way through the fortress to the Pandemonium Fortress Level 3. As soon as you enter, you will see the portal directly in front of you.

• 1st Objective– Kill all monsters without taking fatal damage.
• 2nd Objective– Chain bonus damage Impale hits on 20 consecutive enemies (5 times).
• 3rd Objective– Slow different enemies with your Shadow Power (45 enemies).

Unhallowed Essence

PORTAL LOCATION: ACT 2 – HOWLING PLATEAU

Directions: Take the waypoint to the Howling Plateau and backtrack to your left as if you were running back to Caldeum. You will find the portal almost directly in between the waypoint and the Caldeum checkpoint in the bottom right corner. Here is a little hint! This is located just before you would have met Eirena the Enchantress for the first time in Campaign Mode. In Adventure mode, it is just after exiting the canyon where the Sand Wasps and falling rocks are.

• 1st Objective– Kill all monsters without taking fatal damage.
• 2nd Objective– Hit 20 enemies with a single Multishot (6 times).
• 3rd Objective– Never drop below 50% Discipline.
