Diablo 4 Players Are Using a Dungeon Nicknamed ‘Dopamine Tunnels’ to Gain 40 Levels in 2 Hours

Diablo 4 players are running a dungeon so packed with monsters it lets players gain 40 levels in just two hours.

As reported by PC Gamer, Diablo 4 YouTuber Raxxanterax revealed changes made by the crowd-pleasing 1.1.1 patch have enabled superfast levelling in the Domhainne Tunnels dungeon.

This is a dungeon in Diablo 4 found in the region of Scosglen. It’s packed with Goatmen and Bats — even more than before after Blizzard increased monster density in Nightmare Dungeons and in Helltides to encourage players to use them to farm experience points and loot.

But perhaps the Domhainne Tunnels — aka the Dopamine Tunnels — are a little too packed with monsters. In a video, Raxxanterax demonstrated how it is possible to use the dungeons’ opening section to shoot from level one to 40 in just over two hours, whereas their previous best pre-patch time to level 40 was three-and-a-half hours.

By focusing on this early section of the dungeon, moving in a circle, then resetting the dungeon once all monsters are rinsed, players can level up much faster than, for example, playing through the campaign would enable.

Raxxanterax took two hours and seven minutes to hit level 40 in Hardcore playing as a Sorcerer, focusing on a Chain Lightning build, but it should be beneficial to all classes and builds that dish out area of effect damage. Domhainne Tunnels is so effective for levelling up that Diablo 4 speedrunners are using it to beat their record times to World Tier 3.

Will Blizzard step in here? The patch notes for update 1.1.2 make no mention of Domhainne Tunnels. It goes live today, so it will be worth keeping an eye out in case there’s an addition.

Blizzard released patch 1.1.1 on August 8 and it appears to have gone down well after the
