Diablo 4 Dungeon Locations and Aspects Complete Guide

Guides
Reading 23 min Views 2 Published by Modified by

Power pulses through every dungeon in Diablo 4, but only those who claim the right Aspects can shape it to their will. From hidden catacombs to blood-soaked ruins, each location holds secrets that can transform an ordinary build into something unstoppable.

In this Diablo 4 guide, we’ll show you every Aspect that you can earn for your Codex of Power, what it does, and where you can find it.

[Note: Because Diablo 4 is balanced around item scaling, and finding better versions of items you already have, the numeric values in each Aspect will change depending on the level of item you find it on. Some of these number values can range from 100 to 10,000, so we’ve replaced any numbers that are able to scale with X. If you see an X in the sheet below, know that the value in question can and will change based on your luck and power level.]

Some Aspects work across all classes. Most are limited to one of the Rogue, Barbarian, Sorcerer, Necromancer, and Druid classes. We’ve split Aspects up by region, and organized the respective regional lists by class.

The Fractured Peaks dungeons and Aspects

Fractured Peaks hosts some of the earliest dungeons you will clear in Diablo 4, making it a prime region for collecting starter Aspects for most classes. Many of these dungeons reward core offensive and defensive Aspects that enhance bread-and-butter skills, resource generation, and survivability, giving new characters a strong foundation before pushing into higher World Tiers. By charting a route through key dungeons such as Dead Man’s Dredge, Hoarfrost Demise, and Rimescar Cavern, you can quickly imprint account-wide powers at the Occultist and smooth out early leveling, whether you play Barbarian, Sorcerer, Rogue, Druid, or Necromancer.

There are 23 total Aspects and dungeons in Diablo 4‘s first region, The Fractured Peaks. Five Aspects are specific to Necromancers; four Aspects each are specific to Rogues, Sorcerers, Druids, and Barbarians; and two are class-agnostic.

Act 1 Aspects

Act 1 Aspects focus on early-game power boosts that strengthen your character’s core abilities. Each Aspect can be found in specific dungeons across the Fractured Peaks, rewarding players with enhancements tailored to different classes and playstyles. By completing these dungeons, heroes gain permanent access to Aspects that enhance mobility, damage output, or defense, laying the foundation for stronger builds as the campaign progresses.

How do I unlock and imprint Legendary Aspects at the Occultist

Unlocking and imprinting Legendary Aspects at the Occultist is a core part of Diablo 4’s gear customization system. The Occultist lets you apply Aspects from your Codex of Power or extracted from legendaries onto rare or legendary gear.​

Unlocking the Occultist

The Occultist unlocks early through two methods. Complete any side dungeon (not campaign-locked) on your character to add its Aspect to the Codex of Power, or reach level 25 for an urgent quest.​

Occultists appear in every major town (Kyovashad, Cernum, etc.), marked by a triangle icon on the map.​

Unlocking Aspects

  • Codex of Power: Finish a side dungeon once-its Aspect unlocks permanently account-wide (view via Collections > Codex tab, press Y/Touchpad). Codex Aspects have fixed, lower rolls but unlimited uses.​

  • Extracted Aspects: Salvage legendary items at the Occultist to pull their Aspect as a one-use item (higher potential rolls). Store in inventory’s Aspect tab. Sacred/Ancestral legendaries yield matching rarity Aspects.​

Imprinting Process

  1. Visit the Occultist and select Imprint Aspect.

  2. Place a rare or legendary item in the left slot (rarity upgrades to legendary).

  3. Choose an Aspect from Codex (unlimited) or inventory (one-use) that matches the slot (helm, chest, weapon, etc.). Filter by class if needed.

  4. Confirm-costs scale with item level: gold plus Veiled Crystals (under lvl 50, from rare salvage) or Baleful Fragments (over lvl 50, from legendary salvage).​

Imprinted items show an “Imprinted” tag; salvaging them at Blacksmith yields materials/transmog, not reusable Aspects.​

Key Tips

  • Prioritize: Imprint on gear with strong base affixes. Amulets get 50% stronger Aspects; two-handers get 100%.​

  • Overwriting: Replace existing Aspects on legendaries freely.​

  • Tracking: In Codex, select unowned Aspects to pin dungeon locations on your map.​

  • Extract first: Dismantle unwanted legendaries at Occultist to

What materials and gold are required to imprint Aspects

Imprinting Legendary Aspects at the Occultist in Diablo 4 requires both gold and specific crafting materials, with costs scaling based on the item’s power and your World Tier.​

Material Types

Lower-level imprinting (typically under item power 50 or World Tier 1-2) uses Veiled Crystals, obtained by salvaging rare (yellow) items at the Blacksmith. Higher-level imprinting (item power 50+ or World Tier 3-4) requires Baleful Fragments, gained from salvaging legendary (orange) items at the Blacksmith, and sometimes rarer materials like Coiling Wards or Abstruse Sigils from Ancestral legendaries.​

Gold Costs

Gold requirements increase with item power and Aspect rank, often ranging from thousands in early game to millions in endgame (e.g., 1-5 million for high-tier gear). Extracting Aspects from legendaries costs only gold, no materials.​

Cost Examples by Tier

Item Power Range Materials Needed Gold Estimate (example) Notes ​
Under 50 Veiled Crystals (20-100) 5k-50k Early game, rares only
50-800 (Sacred) Baleful Fragments (10-50) + Wards/Sigils 100k-1M WT3+, legendaries
800+ (Ancestral) Baleful Fragments (20-100) + rarer 1M-5M+ Endgame, high rolls

Farm materials via Helltides, dungeons, or salvaging drops; sell excess gear for gold.​
