How to unlock the Devoted Protector achievement in Diablo IV - Definitive Guide

Edit 4: As of Season 6, this achievement has been changed from reaching character lvl 100 (the max is now 60) to Paragon lvl 200 (paragon lvl is shared across all characters on a realm [Seasonal and Eternal are separate] )
There are now many endgame activities compared to launch and all are viable for leveling with Infernal Hordes being the fastest.
 
Edit 3: 05/16/2024 - Some are reporting that as of the Season 4 update, if this achievement previously glitched for you, it may now unlock by loading up your lvl 100 character.

Edit 2: *WARNING* As of the latest November 2023 patch, this achievement has become glitchy and isn't unlocking for a number of people. It might be worth it to not hit lvl 100 until Blizz fixes this.

Edit 1: ***Seasonal characters have large boosts to XP gains so if you're starting from scratch use a seasonal character instead of one on the Eternal realm.

TLDR: The fastest way to get to 100 is by completing nightmare dungeons at the highest tier you're able to do (see my 3rd to last bullet point below for calculations). EDIT: July 18th patch caps bonus XP earned from enemies 10 levels higher than you.
This will take a long time since levels come quicker early in the game but much longer in the end game, even at +100%/+200% XP. Estimate at least 100 hours if beelining it, quite a bit more if you get distracted by gear numbers and effects often (like me). Most likely 200+ hours for most people who like switching builds and participating in other things besides high tier dungeons on repeat.
Lvl 100 can probably be achieved in less that 80 hours now since the XP buffs in Season 1 & especially 2.

*These are the current popular XP dungeon farms. These are valid as of Hotfix 13, but I can't guarantee these will be optimal after later patches.
I'll try to update when I can.
- Solo: Uldur's Cave in Kehjistan and Blind Burrows
- Co-op: Blind Burrows and Ruins of Eridu in Hawezar

Here's an opinion tier list for the best dungeons in pre-season 1 based on mob density, easy objectives, etc:
https://www.wowhead.com/diablo-4/news/nightmare-dungeons-tie...

Bullet point guide:
- Craft lots of weak elixirs and always have one active. +5% XP for 30mins
If you have lots of ingredients, craft elixirs with a damage buff against the enemies you'll be facing in your dungeon of choice to make it go faster.

- Playing co-op gives +10% XP
If your party is strong enough and you're running the popular dungeons, split up your party and tackle different lanes of the dungeon to complete much quicker.

- Complete strongholds and work a few sidequests in each region to get to lvl 3 renown in each area.
I'd wait to grab all the Altars of Lilith until after you get your horse in Act 4. These give you +10 renown in their region.

- Complete the campaign. World Tier 3 unlocks after you beat the campaign.
------ I recommend playing the campaign on WT1 to speed through it swiftly. The +20% Xp isn't worth the extra time it takes to kill Elites/bosses. Personal preference here though.

- After the campaign complete the capstone dungeon in Kyovashad under the Cathedral to unlock WT3 and immediately skip WT2 to start WT3. This grants constant +100% XP.

- Complete dungeons that grant you aspects good for whatever build you're running.
------ While riding horsey to these dungeons complete any Grim Favor bounties for the Tree of Whispers that appear along the way. Turning in 10 favors gets you some good XP and gear.
(you'll also need to turn in loads of these over time anyways as the achievement related to the Tree is the most annoyingly chance-driven cheevo in the game)

- Legion Events and World Bosses are worth the time for XP and great gear and they also mix up your play so the dungeon grind isn't so tedious. They aren't always active though so watch the timers.

- Complete regular and Nightmare dungeons until you're over lvl 70-75 and ready to start WT4.
------- Nightmare Sigil tiers can be confusing at first. Take your current level and subtract 54 to get the tier that would be exactly your level. For example, if you are level 84, tier 30 sigils would be exactly your level's difficulty. 84-54=30.
To get a good XP boost, complete sigils that would be 3 over your current level, so at level 84 do tier 33 sigils for best gains.

- At WT4, complete Ancestral Nightmare dungeons while mixing in the aforementioned Legion and World Boss events.

- Once you reach 100 you can theoretically attempt to beat Uber-Lilith, but it's VERY difficult.

Patch 1.0.3 doubled the xp in Nightmare dungeons. The formula for finding your dungeon sigil level is to take your character level, add 3, then subtract 54. Example: if you're level 80, then you want to fight level 83 enemies. Take 83-54 = A level 24 Nightmare Sigil. Anything above that doesn't net you additional xp. Good luck!

+3 to enemy level is the cap for XP bonus, however the higher the enemy the higher their base XP is. So if you can comfortably clear NM dungeons where enemies are +5, +6, etc. you should always opt for those tiers as you will notice a moderate boost in XP.

imo speed run the dungeon but kill as many things as possible while doing so. i omitted most cold enchants, resource burns, and backstabbers. i chose to run most sunken ruins, ancients lament, lost archives, witchwater, blind burrows, champions demise, demons wake, guulrahn canals, shivta ruins, renegade's retreat. those ones i felt were pretty straight forward with high mob density

By luhosenpai on 10 Jul 2023 00:51
@NO PULSE, Ideally kill everything and complete the dungeon as quickly as possible. With quite a few of the more popular farming dungeons, the majority of the XP is in the mobs and elites, rather than the boss. Generally the bosses that reward more XP are more difficult and time consuming, but that could depend on how efficient your build/group is.

Going so sloww! At 63 trying to get it done. I guess i haven't been doing the right tier NM dungeons. I thought I had to do every one I encountered at first. So many tier 1s dropping. Any point in spending time unlocking all (beyond skill point-giving) rewards by completing side quests, strongholds etc? Or focus on NM dungeons exclusively.

By ContraDblDragon on 17 Aug 2023 03:01
No. Even getting on Renown isn't really needed. Unless you're planning to play with that character for a long time after getting all achievements, even the extra 4 paragon points aren't worth the large investment of time needed to unlock them. If you're just wanting the achievements, do straight NM's.

There was a general bump in XP gains across the board.
But seasonal characters will level even quicker, up to 20% faster, due to the Smoldering Ashes blessing that you get from leveling the free battle pass.

This achievement would be faster to 100 if people can boost us for this achievement
0
0
By GunsReloaded on 27 Oct 2023 01:13
So people can still technically boost you. It not only levels you up fast but if they are willing to stick around until you get powerful enough gear to start grinding on your own you can start out with a pretty significant advantage. I did not have this luxury. Also the Smoldering Ashes this season do help but you need to keep in mind the experience boost is only from killing monsters which contributes to your overall experience very little. You receive most of your experience for completing tasks within Blood Harvest and turning in related rewards to the Tree of Whispers.

Right now no one knows what causes this, there have been multiple updates but there is nothing about this achievement in any of them. Both of these things are because Blizzard will not recognize the issue. They are ignoring Tweets, emails and they are not officially responding to the bug reports on the forums. The only good news is that it only seems to affect an unlucky few. Again no one has anyway of knowing but I would say given the complaints versus achievement unlocks it probably effects less than 10%. It also seems like this was an issue last season as well.

If you go ahead and get it just try to make certain there is no major server lag, service outage reports and the like. I know it is hard to do given how much lag can be on the server sometimes. Another bad possibility is if the achievement is linked to the challenge (as in the challenge is what triggers the achievement) it will become unobtainable. No one has confirmed whether getting another character to level 100 will trigger the achievement again.

Definitely a shit show. It particularly sucks because since it effects a small handful of people they will never do anything about it. It just goes to show you how huge game developers like this are so out of touch with the community that actually plays their games. Meaning they simply do not care. It is sad that more gets done with smaller indie developers than major players like Blizzard.

The best way to level as of right now is probably playing seasons. For instance, the previous season, The Season of Blood leveled you faster than normal and you could increase the experience monsters gave you from consumables. If other seasons are like this, this is easily the best way.

If you want to shave off a lot of time you can create a new character and have someone that is a higher level get you through your capstone dungeons. Then equip the best possible gear and try to put a build together with whatever character you choose. This can save you the huge majority of getting to level 100 and will only cost someone else an hour or so of their time.

@Ebon Hawk You can still run Nightmare Dungeons within a season. Either way it is better to do it within the season. It is a lot easier to get stronger with seasonal perks or at least it was in the season I played (Season of Blood). You are more likely to have a build that is going to be able to run high tear Nightmare Dungeons early. Also I didn't really run Nightmare Dungeons during Season of Blood. Simply because the elite vampires that spawned in the zones gave you ridiculous amounts of experience. That doesn't even consider using an experience modifier that last time I checked you can only get within the seasons.

When you guys say do the dungeons. Do you mean kill everything or just get to the end and kill the boss as fast as possible?

@NO PULSE, Ideally kill everything and complete the dungeon as quickly as possible. With quite a few of the more popular farming dungeons, the majority of the XP is in the mobs and elites, rather than the boss. Generally the bosses that reward more XP are more difficult and time consuming, but that could depend on how efficient your build/group is.

Going so sloww! At 63 trying to get it done. I guess i haven't been doing the right tier NM dungeons. I thought I had to do every one I encountered at first. So many tier 1s dropping. Any point in spending time unlocking all (beyond skill point-giving) rewards by completing side quests, strongholds etc? Or focus on NM dungeons exclusively.

No. Even getting on Renown isn't really needed. Unless you're planning to play with that character for a long time after getting all achievements, even the extra 4 paragon points aren't worth the large investment of time needed to unlock them. If you're just wanting the achievements, do straight NM's.

There was a general bump in XP gains across the board.
But seasonal characters will level even quicker, up to 20% faster, due to the Smoldering Ashes blessing that you get from leveling the free battle pass.

So people can still technically boost you. It not only levels you up fast but if they are willing to stick around until you get powerful enough gear to start grinding on your own you can start out with a pretty significant advantage. I did not have this luxury. Also the Smoldering Ashes this season do help but you need to keep in mind the experience boost is only from killing monsters which contributes to your overall experience very little. You receive most of your experience for completing tasks within Blood Harvest and turning in related rewards to the Tree of Whispers.

Right now no one knows what causes this, there have been multiple updates but there is nothing about this achievement in any of them. Both of these things are because Blizzard will not recognize the issue. They are ignoring Tweets, emails and they are not officially responding to the bug reports on the forums. The only good news is that it only seems to affect an unlucky few. Again no one has anyway of knowing but I would say given the complaints versus achievement unlocks it probably effects less than 10%. It also seems like this was an issue last season as well.

If you go ahead and get it just try to make certain there is no major server lag, service outage reports and the like. I know it is hard to do given how much lag can be on the server sometimes. Another bad possibility is if the achievement is linked to the challenge (as in the challenge is what triggers the achievement) it will become unobtainable. No one has confirmed whether getting another character to level 100 will trigger the achievement again.

The best way to level as of right now is probably playing seasons. For instance, the previous season, The Season of Blood leveled you faster than normal and you could increase the experience monsters gave you from consumables. If other seasons are like this, this is easily the best way.

If you want to shave off a lot of time you can create a new character and have someone that is a higher level get you through your capstone dungeons. Then equip the best possible gear and try to put a build together with whatever character you choose. This can save you the huge majority of getting to level 100 and will only cost someone else an hour or so of their time.

@Ebon Hawk You can still run Nightmare Dungeons within a season. Either way it is better to do it within the season. It is a lot easier to get stronger with seasonal perks or at least it was in the season I played (Season of Blood). You are more likely to have a build that is going to be able to run high tear Nightmare Dungeons early. Also I didn't really run Nightmare Dungeons during Season of Blood. Simply because the elite vampires that spawned in the zones gave you ridiculous amounts of experience. That doesn't even consider using an experience modifier that last time I checked you can only get within the seasons.

Edit 3: 05/16/2024 - Some are reporting that as of the Season 4 update, if this achievement previously glitched for you, it may now unlock by loading up your lvl 100 character.

Edit 2: *WARNING* As of the latest November 2023 patch, this achievement has become glitchy and isn't unlocking for a number of people. It might be worth it to not hit lvl 100 until Blizz fixes this.

Edit 1: ***Seasonal characters have large boosts to XP gains so if you're starting from scratch use a seasonal character instead of one on the Eternal realm.

TLDR: The fastest way to get to 100 is by completing nightmare dungeons at the highest tier you're able to do (see my 3rd to last bullet point below for calculations). EDIT: July 18th patch caps bonus XP earned from enemies 10 levels higher than you.
This will take a long time since levels come quicker early in the game but much longer in the end game, even at +100%/+200% XP. Estimate at least 100 hours if beelining it, quite a bit more if you get distracted by gear numbers and effects often (like me). Most likely 200+ hours for most people who like switching builds and participating in other things besides high tier dungeons on repeat.
Lvl 100 can probably be achieved in less that 80 hours now since the XP buffs in Season 1 & especially 2.

*These are the current popular XP dungeon farms. These are valid as of Hotfix 13, but I can't guarantee these will be optimal after later patches.
I'll try to update when I can.
- Solo: Uldur's Cave in Kehjistan and Blind Burrows
- Co-op: Blind Burrows and Ruins of Eridu in Hawezar

Here's an opinion tier list for the best dungeons in pre-season 1 based on mob density, easy objectives, etc:
https://www.wowhead.com/diablo-4/news/nightmare-dungeons-tie...

Bullet point guide:
- Craft lots of weak elixirs and always have one active. +5% XP for 30mins
If you have lots of ingredients, craft elixirs with a damage buff against the enemies you'll be facing in your dungeon of choice to make it go faster.

- Playing co-op gives +10% XP
If your party is strong enough and you're running the popular dungeons, split up your party and tackle different lanes of the dungeon to complete much quicker.

- Complete strongholds and work a few sidequests in each region to get to lvl 3 renown in each area.
I'd wait to grab all the Altars of Lilith until after you get your horse in Act 4. These give you +10 renown in their region.

- Complete the campaign. World Tier 3 unlocks after you beat the campaign.
------ I recommend playing the campaign on WT1 to speed through it swiftly. The +20% Xp isn't worth the extra time it takes to kill Elites/bosses. Personal preference here though.

- After the campaign complete the capstone dungeon in Kyovashad under the Cathedral to unlock WT3 and immediately skip WT2 to start WT3. This grants constant +100% XP.

- Complete dungeons that grant you aspects good for whatever build you're running.
------ While riding horsey to these dungeons complete any Grim Favor bounties for the Tree of Whispers that appear along the way. Turning in 10 favors gets you some good XP and gear.
(you'll also need to turn in loads of these over time anyways as the achievement related to the Tree is the most annoyingly chance-driven cheevo in the game)

- Legion Events and World Bosses are worth the time for XP and great gear and they also mix up your play so the dungeon grind isn't so tedious. They aren't always active though so watch the timers.

- Complete regular and Nightmare dungeons until you're over lvl 70-75 and ready to start WT4.
------- Nightmare Sigil tiers can be confusing at first. Take your current level and subtract 54 to get the tier that would be exactly your level. For example, if you are level 84, tier 30 sigils would be exactly your level's difficulty. 84-54=30.
To get a good XP boost, complete sigils that would be 3 over your current level, so at level 84 do tier 33 sigils for best gains.

- At WT4, complete Ancestral Nightmare dungeons while mixing in the aforementioned Legion and World Boss events.

- Once you reach 100 you can theoretically attempt to beat Uber-Lilith, but it's VERY difficult.

Patch 1.0.3 doubled the xp in Nightmare dungeons. The formula for finding your dungeon sigil level is to take your character level, add 3, then subtract 54. Example: if you're level 80, then you want to fight level 83 enemies. Take 83-54 = A level 24 Nightmare Sigil. Anything above that doesn't net you additional xp. Good luck!

By Montaigne on 28 Jun 2023 18:19

+3 to enemy level is the cap for XP bonus, however the higher the enemy the higher their base XP is. So if you can comfortably clear NM dungeons where enemies are +5, +6, etc. you should always opt for those tiers as you will notice a moderate boost in XP.

I haven't seen anything online to suggest that doing seasonal content is better for XP than doing nightmare dungeons repeatedly.

@Ebon Hawk You can still run Nightmare Dungeons within a season. Either way it is better to do it within the season. It is a lot easier to get stronger with seasonal perks or at least it was in the season I played (Season of Blood). You are more likely to have a build that is going to be able to run high tear Nightmare Dungeons early. Also I didn't really run Nightmare Dungeons during Season of Blood. Simply because the elite vampires that spawned in the zones gave you ridiculous amounts of experience. That doesn't even consider using an experience modifier that last time I checked you can only get within the seasons.

@I Ebon Hawk I the seasonal stuff was absolutely amazing for experience grinding during season 2 (i would expect season 3 to be the same) and although nightmare dungeons gave pretty decent experience i mainly focused on them to raise the level of my glyphs to prepare to take out Uber Lilith

Hey guys, I may have some big news. I have been getting on after I hear there is any kind of update. I got on today after the most recent update and logged into my level 100 character and Devoted Protector unlocked immediately.

Season 4 you can get 20% monster kill xp boost eventually if you spend seasonal rewards points. Plus some elixirs that offer 8% xp boost. Wt4 you get 250% increase in xp. I’m level 80 something atm.

Lvl 100 can probably be achieved in less that 80 hours now
Raxxanterax is speedrunning every class in season 4 and streamed Blizzard Sorcerer in under 5.5 hrs yesterday. 4 player speed run in just under 4 hrs.

@NO PULSE, Ideally kill everything and complete the dungeon as quickly as possible. With quite a few of the more popular farming dungeons, the majority of the XP is in the mobs and elites, rather than the boss. Generally the bosses that reward more XP are more difficult and time consuming, but that could depend on how efficient your build/group is.

Going so sloww! At 63 trying to get it done. I guess i haven't been doing the right tier NM dungeons. I thought I had to do every one I encountered at first. So many tier 1s dropping. Any point in spending time unlocking all (beyond skill point-giving) rewards by completing side quests, strongholds etc? Or focus on NM dungeons exclusively.

to anyone wondering, I just got this Achievement with no issues. I only played on Xbox and no other accounts. I'm not sure what causes the bug, but it's pretty rare I think. Lots of people are still getting the Achievement as of now.

Just got on today to see if transitioning your character to the Eternal Realm at the beginning of the new season would unlock the achievement. It does not, at least it did not for me and it looks like other people are having the same experience. Awesome game Blizzard!

The best way to level as of right now is probably playing seasons. For instance, the previous season, The Season of Blood leveled you faster than normal and you could increase the experience monsters gave you from consumables. If other seasons are like this, this is easily the best way.

If you want to shave off a lot of time you can create a new character and have someone that is a higher level get you through your capstone dungeons. Then equip the best possible gear and try to put a build together with whatever character you choose. This can save you the huge majority of getting to level 100 and will only cost someone else an hour or so of their time.

If you go ahead and get it just try to make certain there is no major server lag, service outage reports and the like. I know it is hard to do given how much lag can be on the server sometimes. Another bad possibility is if the achievement is linked to the challenge (as in the challenge is what triggers the achievement) it will become unobtainable. No one has confirmed whether getting another character to level 100 will trigger the achievement again.

Reaching level 100 with a character in Diablo 4 isn’t necessarily hard, it’s just super time consuming. You’ll fly from 1-50 in a relatively short amount of time, but the journey from level 50 to level 100 is probably more than 50 hours (it was very rare I’d do one level in an hour).

Here’s what you should do though, in terms of getting the best out of it and maximising your time.
  • Firstly, finish the campaign. If you do it on World Tier 2 you’re likely to finish the campaign at around level 50. If you do it on World Tier 1, you’ll likely come in around the 40-42 level.
  • Then, you’re going to want to do dungeons and what not to get to level 50, and then do the Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon. This will allow you to take the world from World Tier 1 or 2 and into World Tier 3 (where the best XP gains can be found... for now).
  • Next, you’re going to want to do side missions and dungeons to max out all regions to level 5 (in terms of renown). This will help with End of the First Mother (100G) . Use this time to unfog all the map too, and grab as many Altars of Lilith as possible (which will help with True Perseverance (75G) ).
  • Throughout the above, I’d take time to dip out into Helltide zones and do Whisper events too. Not only can you work towards the Turning the Tides (50G)  and Chaotic Whispers (50G), but they have great returns in loot and XP.
  • On top of that, look out for the World Bosses, they’re great for XP and loot too.
  • As well as the above, get involved in Nightmare Dungeons, for good XP, and again, good loot (and especially for some of the rare resources, like Scattered Prisms).
  • Then, when you get to level 70, it’s time to do the Fallen Temple Capstone Dungeon in northeastern Dry Steppes, so you can raise the World Tier from Nightmare to Torment. This will give a massive XP boost against monsters (from a 100% XP multiplier on Nightmare, to a 200% multiplier on Torment).
  • Level 70 opens up Ancestral Nightmare Dungeons as well, effectively, as you’ll be a high enough level not to get hammered. These obviously have the best returns in the game in terms of loot and XP.
  • And finally, it’s a case of rinse and repeat until the finish line.
The journey to 100 is a long one - I reckon somewhere in the 100 to 150 hour range - but it’s an enjoyable one. The key to staying interested is find what you enjoy doing in the open-world and do it. Personally, I’m a big fan of the Whispers and Helltide events, which is where I spend a lot of my time. Outside of that, find a dungeon that you like and keep doing it if necessary. Variety is the spice of life though, so do things that keep you interested more than anything.

It’s better to fill in “Infernal Onslaught”, where the enemy’s level is always higher than yours, in the intervals while this mode is rebooting you can complete tree tasks or clear dungeons of the Seals of Nightmare
Also, when clearing, you can use any potions, as they give at least 5% additional experience
