A new season in Diablo 4 means a new pool of Nightmare Dungeons for us to farm. As farming Nightmare Dungeons is one of the main endgame activities in the game, it's important to know which ones are going to be more efficient. We will be ranking these dungeons based on how simple or complex their layouts are, how high the mob density is, as well as what kind of objectives you are required to do.
Each Nightmare Dungeon will also be rated based on how fast you can farm your Glyph experience, as well as how efficient they are to level your character in them. Keep in mind that the type of character you play will heavily impact how fast you go through these dungeons, much more than any of the stats we are judging them by. With all that in mind, here is our list of the best and worst Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4 Season 3:
