How Terror zones work in Diablo II Resurrected
Andreliverod - 24 Feb 2023
The new Terror zones add further variety to Diablo II Resurrected gameplay. While available right after defeating Baal on Normal, Terror zones aim to make leveling up to 99 a more pleasant and fun journey, rather than farming the same run thousands of times. In addition, it also gives you access to the new Sundering charms that give you the power to overcome immune monsters. Check out our article on sundering charms here.
These new zones are only available for Lord of Destruction players, not Classic Diablo II. They are unlocked per character and require you to beat the defeat Baal on each difficulty to open them within said difficulty. Every hour a new zone within the game will turn into a Terrorized zone based on the creator's current level. If the game creator leaves, a new player is selected as a base for the next terror zone.
Patch 2.6 also introduces Terror Zones in offline games, but they will operate on a different schedule from their online counterpart.
Zone information will be relayed from the in-game chat box. In addition, you will see a purple tint in the Waypoint selector on the zone that is terrorized.
The following are the level details for each monster type on each difficulty:
| Difficulty | Monster Type | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | Base | +2 levels up to level 45 |
| Normal | Champion | +4 levels up to level 47 |
| Normal | Unique | +5 levels up to level 48 |
| Nightmare | Base | +2 levels up to level 71 |
| Nightmare | Champion | +4 levels up to level 73 |
| Nightmare | Unique | +5 levels up to level 74 |
| Hell | Base | +2 levels up to level 96 |
| Hell | Champion | +4 levels up to level 98 |
| Hell | Unique | +5 levels up to level 99 |
