What to do after Level 60+ in Diablo 4 - Helltides Explained

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So I

want to talk about what you should be

doing after you reach level 60 or maybe

65, or you're close to level 70 and you're

wondering what to do. So you go into the

map and you'll see I'm in this red area.

I want to explain what the red area on the

map means. You'll find in the middle of

the red area this little red thing here

called Helltide Rises. Now a Helltide is

an area where you can farm specific

materials and that are very useful for

doing things like replacing the affixes on

your gear. So for example, go on your

gear, you see all the little stats. You

can replace one of the stats called

affixes, but you'll need a thing called a

Fragmented Soul, which you'll only find in

this Helltide area. And also you can get

these things called Fiend Roses, which are

also useful for doing other things with

your gear. And you need to farm these

materials And there's also chests within

this area that you can unlock by killing

stuff and getting the currency. I forgot

what it's called, something like cinders

or something, and you collect those to

unlock the gear in the chests. So as you

can see, the Helltide actually ends in 29

minutes, which means we have only 29

minutes to do some farming, and then there

won't be another one until an hour later.

I think it's something like it only lasts

only spawns every 2 hours and it lasts 1

hour. So there's gonna be a period of

time, about 1 hour, when there's no

Helltides. So when you see a Helltide pop

up, it would be in your best interest to

go and do one. And I'll show you what it's

like. It's not really that interesting,

it's just like the usual open world, and

there's this special currency that only

exists in it. And if you die, you actually

lose some of your currency. So we go off

into the open world, find some mobs, and

see what happens when you fight them.

You'll get this thing called— what are

they called? They keep vanishing before I

Aberrant Cinder. I don't know what the

word aberrant means. Been speaking English

my entire life, it's my native tongue,

but I have never seen the word aberrant

before. But But anyway, you collect those

Aberrant Cinders and then you just do a

lot of grinding, and then you'll find a

chest just lying around, and it's like

made out of bones or something. And you

sometimes— you get good items out of it,

get some ancestral epics which are very

nice, and then you

can get some good gear. So if you go into

the map, you can easily find where these

chests are. You can see Tortured Gift of

Protection. Tortured Gift of Protection.

And yeah, so you just pin it and then we

can ride over to it. So I now have 86,

um, cinders— Aberrant Cinders.

Just kill everything around it. Hopefully

you don't die, because if you die you'll

lose some of your cinder things. Oh my

God, I'm gonna die! Oh, that was close.

This big guy nearly one-shot me. Oh Jesus,

that would have been annoying. Let's clear

up the rest.

And there you can see, for 75 cinders— oh,

watch out,

trying to interrupt me whilst I make my

video. Not very nice, is it?

For 75 tinders— I mean cinders— we can get

Tortured Gift of Helms. See what we get

from this. Um, oh,

we got one Sacred Helmet. Wow, that was—

oh, Forgotten Souls. Forgotten Souls also

very useful for doing something that I

forgot now. Oh yeah, Forgotten Souls are

very important for upgrading your weapons

and gear to the max level. So for the 5th

weapon upgrade, you would need Forgotten

Souls, which you can only get in Helltide.

So the reason why you need to do Helltides

is because, well, I don't know about you,

but I finished the level 70 capstone

dungeon at level 64. And at level 64,

I entered World Tier 4. And as soon as I

entered World Tier 4 at level 64, I was

just completely getting destroyed by

everything. And I tried doing Nightmare

Dungeons and I was just getting one-shot.

So I thought, okay, better not try any

more Nightmare Dungeons because it's just

a waste of time, waste of my gear getting

broken all the time. So what you want to

do is the Helltides to get these upgrades

in your gear. As soon as you enter World

Tier 4, you're going to go from using

sacred items to ancestral items,

and ancestral items are just such a

massive step up from sacred items. And as

soon as you start fitting out your gear

with some ancestral stuff, you'll realize

that you will get a big improvement and

you'll be able to actually survive. I

managed to do a tier 21 and 22 Nightmare

Dungeon after I kitted myself out in some

Ancestrals. Well, what's this, some kind

of mini boss?

And it really is a big step up from

having Sacreds. I just want to see what

this boss is going to drop.

He's gonna drop nothing.

Are you— he's only gonna drop 500 gold.

Okay, well, I got some Grim Favors. Yeah,

so I really recommend you don't do

Nightmare Dungeons once you've just

entered Tier World 4 because you'll

probably get destroyed. You're gonna need

to get ancestrals and improve your gear by

doing the Helltides, collecting the

weapons and armor caches from those

forbidden What are they called?

Um, Tortured Gift of Protections. Yeah,

they sometimes drop good stuff and

sometimes they just drop rubbish. It's

kind of random. And then once you've

gotten yourself some nice ancestrals and

you've leveled up a bit in World Tier 4,

then I think you'll be ready to do some

more Nightmare Dungeons. Go back to

Nightmare Dungeons, and you should, you

should be doing the Tier 20 to 25 until

you get much more powerful. I'm currently

struggling to do 24s and 25s. I can do 21s

and 22s without too much problems, but I

really need to upgrade my gear more,

which is what I'm doing now by grinding

the Helltides. So we nearly got another

75. We've only got 30 minutes left until

the Helltide closes, so I want to go over

to the next protected place. Where is it?

Protected Gift of Protection and

see if we get anything good in that chest.

Okay, we have a Tortured Gift of Helms.

Let's see anything good.

Oh, a Sacred Helm. So any good though?

Um, uh, it's okay, I guess. Got some max

life, total armor.

Also, in addition to doing the Helltides,

you could carry on doing the Grim Favors

for the Tree of Whispers and do these

dungeons because you still get some nice

stuff out of the little loot box. And

sometimes you get an epic sacred loot box

which is full of epics, which will also

help you gear up. So then you can get back

into doing the Nightmare Ancestral Tier

dungeons, which you can see I have a lot

of the sigils like Ancestral Nightmare

Sigil Tier 24 Tier 25, but I still feel

like I'm not strong enough. They also— the

other problem with doing the Ancestral

Nightmare dungeons is you only get a

maximum of 4 revives, 4 lives, instead of

the 12 revives which you'll get in the

Sacred Nightmares. So 4 lives— well, it's

actually 5 because it says 4, but then

when you have only 0 left, you still have

1 left. So you have like 5 lives left,

and sometimes I lag And I die.

So it's kind of frustrating because 5

lives doesn't last very long when you

include the facts that you could

potentially easily get 1 or 2 shots. You

have to be very, very careful. Doing the

Ancestral Nightmares can be very tense and

frustrating because if you die from

something that wasn't really your fault,

then you've lost a life and you only have

5. And then once you lose 5, you're kicked

out of the dungeon for good. Oh look,

some kind of mini boss here and other

players. Helltides can be pretty fun

because they're so chaotic. There's so

many just huge mobs of enemies waiting

around, these little mini boss challenges,

and lots of other players. So it is like a

very action-packed version of the open

world. The open world can feel pretty dull

and lifeless a lot of the time, but the

Helltides really bring the open world to

life, I think, and they make the open

world much more interesting. And just look

at this, it's like complete war going on

here, and the amount of Cinder things

we'll get will probably be pretty good.

It's good we have help because I think I'd

be getting destroyed otherwise.

So just take these down, and this is— I

think this is what you're going to be

doing most of the time after level 60 or

65. Once you just got into World Tier 4,

you're gonna need to be gearing up because

you're gonna be pretty weak if you just

came from World Tier 3. And all we've got

are sacreds and legendary sacreds.

Wow, look at all these cinders, there's

loads. I've almost got enough for the

other protected Gift of Protection.

Okay, box number 3, let's see if we have

some Forgotten Souls because I would like

to upgrade my weapons. We have Sacred

Pants, Elixirs, and Fiend Roses. Okay,

Fiend Roses are quite useful as well for,

uh, forgot actually, I think it's for also

upgrading.
