How to unlock the Living Nightmares achievement in Diablo IV - Definitive Guide

When you get to the post-campaign you will begin seeing "Sigils" drop. These are keys to the Nightmare dungeons, which are dungeons with 1 positive modifier and multiple negative multipliers. The keys will list which specific dungeon they will modify and in what way. Like the rest of the loot in the game, at tier 3 these can begin dropping as Sacred and in tier 4 as Ancestral. Run one of each of these rarities and you're done.

I did not get any sigils to drop until I hit level 56, then got 4 in the span of 10 minutes from event chests, tree rewards and as a drop in my first nightmare dungeon.

Yeah after you get the first one to drop you have to manage your inventory because you get so many of them.

One of the best ways to get sigils to drop is to do Tree of Whispers stuff. I've gotten one in about every cache from the Tree.

So, you can't get this achievement until you reach Tier 4 and complete a nightmare dungeon? (After completing nightmare dungeons in tier 3).

I've completed a few in Tier 3 but no achievement pop. What about level 2 sigils for completed nightmare dungeons?

Also, the sigils remain in my collection which makes it hard to know which I've done.

@beastman rules technically the fastest way is to have someone boost you to it

You need a Tier 21 sigil for an Ancestral Nightmare Dungeon. I just crafted one myself at the Occultist.

Sacred and Ancestral Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4 are an endgame event. In order to first unlock the Nightmare Dungeons, you need to do two things:
  • Firstly, beat the campaign.
  • Secondly, beat the Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon.
Once you’ve done that you’ll be able to set the world to World Tier level 3 (Nightmare) and this will unlock Nightmare Dungeons and Nightmare Sigils.

In World Tier 3, as you play you’ll get Nightmare Sigils as drops from various events, whether it’s from the Tree of Whispers when you return 10 Grim Favours, from Elites in the open-world (or even dungeons) or from Hellhide Tortured Chests.

These come in various tiers and forms. But the main two you need to keep an eye out for are “Sacred” Nightmare Sigils, which spawn a Sacred Nightmare Dungeon (these are usually levels 50-69) and “Ancestral” Nightmare Sigils (these are usually levels 70+) which spawn an Ancestral Nightmare Dungeon.

At level 52 and once players have finished a Tier 3 Nightmare Sigil, you will be able to speak to an Occultist and actually craft both Sacred and Ancestral Nightmare Dungeons as well. Getting a Tier 3 Sigil to drop though is difficult, and might take a while, so patience is key for this one, I'm afraid.

Complete one of each and you’ll unlock this achievement.

Completed on World Levels 3 (Nightmare) and 4 (Torment). Open the character’s equipment and select the “consumables” tab, there is a “nightmare seal”, activate it and immediately after activating the seal, open the map, it will show you which dungeon you need to go through, click to get directions to it. In world 3 (nightmare) sacred seals drop, and in world 4 (torment) heir seals drop. In the future, these seals can be crafted from an occultist.

There is no need to plot a route, after the patch you can immediately move to the entrance and jump to the exit of the dungeon
