Can Nightmare dungeons be soloed in Diablo 4

Diablo 4 features multiple levels of difficulties that players can change within the game itself. Although the most difficult world tier is known as Torment, not many go to that level. Most restrict themselves to the Nightmare difficulty because the disparity in rewards isn't too much. However, most players wonder if the activities can be completed solo on Nightmare difficulty.

That being said, Diablo 4 is an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game), so ideally, no activity is meant to be completed alone. However, the game does allow extensive build crafting, which in turn allows players to stack multiple buffs in the game.

Diablo 4: Embark on solo adventures in Nightmare dungeons

Since you can refine your builds to a great extent with all the skills and Paragon Boards available at your disposal, it is technically possible to solo a Nightmare dungeon in Diablo 4. However, you must have high DPS and survivability options to make it far into the dungeon.

In the Nightmare world tier, every single enemy is more buffed. They have a higher health rating and hit harder. So without the appropriate builds, it's impossible to stay alive or subsequently complete the dungeons solo. Even if you manage to reach the boss fight, each death will result in a restart and restore the latter's health. You will have to start the encounter from scratch again, so it's best to invest wisely in your skills and abilities.
