Pallid Delve Dungeon is a bonus location in Diablo 4 that can be quickly completed if you manage your way around enemies with powerful Stun attacks. Here’s how to complete the Pallid Delve Dungeon in Diablo 4 Season 2.

Diablo 4 has plenty of Dungeons to go around, but sometimes clearing them reveals hidden locations. The Pallid Delve Dungeon is a secret Dungeon that you’ll only gain access to after clearing a stronghold, but its labyrinth architecture makes it a worthwhile area to put your favorite build to the test.

This area is filled with cannibals, skeletons, and spiders, that are quick to swarm any player who wants to put their luck to the test in the Dungeon’s narrow corridors. If you’re wondering how to complete the Pallid Delve Dungeon without getting obliterated, here’s everything you need to know to complete it.

Diablo 4: Pallid Delve Dungeon location

Diablo 4’s Pallid Delve Dungeon is located in the Dry Steppes region. You can get there by using the Ruins of Qara-Yisu Waypoint and then heading west, entering the Ruins of Qara Yisu stronghold.

Keep in mind that you’ll need to clear the Ruins of Qara Yisu stronghold before unlocking the Pallid Delve Dungeon.

How to complete Pallid Delve Dungeon in Diablo 4

In Diablo 4, after completing the Qara-Yisu stronghold, you’ll get to go deeper into the area and discover the Pallid Delve Dungeon. These are all the objectives you need to complete to clear the Pallid Delve Dungeon in Diablo 4:

  1. Slay all enemies in the Salt Mines.
  2. Slay the Headhunter.
  3. Collect the Salt-Encrusted Key and open the Cursed Ruins Gate.
  4. Activate two Levers in the Cursed Ruins.
  5. Destroy three Skeletal Constructs.
  6. Travel to the Bane of the Ancients and defeat the Tomb Lord.

The Pallid Delve Dungeon in Diablo 4 has rather small corridors, which can lead you to get easily swarmed by cannibals and different types of undead enemies that have Stun attacks. Since the first objective is clearing all enemies in the Salt Mines, you can try AoE attacks while making sure to reserve a skill that guarantees you a way of repositioning fast.

After clearing every red dot from your map, you’ll need to find the Headhunter to get the Salt-Encrusted Key. This enemy will appear immediately after you finish slaying all enemies in the first zone. When you finally find the Cursed Ruins, the doors of the area will lock; the only way to escape is by activating two levers inside the room.

You’ll encounter cannibals and maniacs with powerful Stun attacks.

After escaping this trap, you’ll encounter three Skeletal Constructs that you’ll need to quickly finish off without using a lot of resources. After you destroy all three of them, we’ll recommend you to stock with potions and elixirs to face the Tomb Lord.

You’ll find the Tomb Lord in the Bane of the Ancients area. This boss specializes in summoning armies of undead soldiers and usually tries to capture Wanderers with his explosive bone walls. The best way to defeat the Tomb Lord is to watch out for his AoE attacks and use high-damage skills while he’s staggered.
