Home » Diablo 4 How to Reset Dungeons, World Events, and Cellars June 5, 2023 Comments count0 Photo Activision Blizzard Diablo 4 is meant to be explored. That’s why the team pivoted to an open-world format that encourages you to bounce between multiple activities. Of course, there are times when you’ll simply want to run a specific piece of content over and over again. For those times, you’ll want to know about resetting Dungeons, World Events, and Cellars. Dungeons, World Events, and Cellars are some of the most notable pieces of instanced content in Diablo 4. They are all areas that feature high concentrations of enemies and the loot that comes from defeating those enemies. Each can be “completed” in the sense that they no longer spawn enemies, events, and loot. However, each can be reset in ways that allow you to run them almost indefinitely. Here’s how you do that. To reset Dungeons in Diablo 4, you first need to complete the Dungeon and then leave the Dungeon. Please note that you need to leave the dungeon rather than simply take a portal out of the dungeon. You can either use the “Leave Dungeon” command available via the Emote Wheel, or you can simply walk out of the Dungeon’s entrance to achieve the desired effect. Once you’ve left the dungeon, you should be able to wait about a minute or two and enter it again. The dungeon should now be reset. If it isn’t reset, simply leave and wait a little longer. Every dungeon in the game can be reset in this way. You won’t acquire an additional Legendary Affix reward via this method, but you will reset all other enemies, events, and loot in the Dungeon. If you’re in a party, there’s an even easier way to reset Dungeons. Simply enter the Dungeon as the Party Leader, complete the Dungeon, and then leave the party. This process automatically resets the Dungeon you were in, which lets you re-enter it right away. You can even form a new party at this point if you’d like. It’s by far the quickest way to reset Dungeons in Diablo 4, though it does require a bit of cooperation. Thankfully, the most popular dungeons are usually surrounded by players willing to assist with this method. Diablo 4 How to Reset World Events Diablo 4s World Events are a fantastic source for gold, XP, Legendary items, and Murmuring Obols. However, it can sometimes be difficult to properly farm them due to the seemingly erratic nature of their appearances. Thankfully, there does seem to be a way to at least increase your odds of re-running these events. To reset World Events in Diablo 4, you’ll need to return to a nearby town or another peaceful area with a portal after completing the World Event. Any area that doesn’t allow you to use your combat skills in it will seemingly do the trick. Once inside that area, head back to the World Event location. You should find that it’s available again. Please note that it seems like you can’t simply complete a World Event, portal back to town, and then portal back to the World Event. That might work sometimes, but it doesn’t seem to be intended. Instead, you’ll need to walk out of the area that you took a portal to and then walk back to the World Event. That’s why it’s best to attempt to focus on farming World Events that are close to safe areas. Unlike Dungeon resets, this also doesn’t seem to be a guaranteed/entirely intended method. For instance, it doesn’t seem to work with Helltide World Events at least based on my limited tests. However, if you find a World Event near a compatible neutral area, then it’s worth repeating this process for the rewards. Diablo 4 How to Reset Cellars Cellars are basically one-room dungeons you’ll find throughout Diablo 4s open-world area. Some are much more difficult than others, but they can generally be repeated pretty quickly. However, Cellars are not automatically reset in the same ways that dungeons are. It does seem like they eventually reset, though I have not been able to simply stand around and enter one a few minutes later. You’ll have to get a little more creative if you want to farm these areas. The easiest way to reset Cellars in Diablo 4 is to form a party before entering a Cellar. Simply join a party as the leader, complete the Cellar, and then choose to leave the party. Once outside, you should find that the Cellar has been reset. Simply rinse and repeat this process, and you should be able to run the Cellar as often as you want. Join our mailing listGet the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox! If you’re playing by yourself, you can also reset a Cellar by choosing the “Leave Game” option after you complete the Cellar. Just keep in mind that this method will require you to re-join the game’s queue, so it’s not exactly a good idea during peak hours. If you’re confident in your ability to jump back into the game fairly quickly, though, then this trick will work. I’ve also heard that you can reset a Cellar by completing a nearby World Event or Dungeon and then going back to the Cellar. However, I haven’t been able to extensively test that method or verify it through other players’ tests. If you find a Cellar that is near a Dungeon or World Event, though, give it a shot. At worst, the process will reward you with some extra loot before you reset through one of the other methods. Privacy Settings

Are you bored by being alone with your thoughts? Does the thought of cooking a meal, brushing your teeth, or taking a walk without a podcast, TV show, or music playing send you into a cold sweat? If so—according to a trend circulating on social media—you’re a great candidate for something called a “dopamine detox.” It involves identifying behaviors that you turn to too frequently for a quick boost—mainly things like social media, gaming, and watching TV—then taking a break from them for a few days to a week. The goal is to recalibrate your brain’s reward pathways. Though some evidence suggests that taking a break from certain unhealthy behaviors can prove transformative, most research focuses on clinical addictions, not the daily temptations we all face. That hasn’t stopped content creators from overstating the science to promise unmatched happiness, productivity, academic success, and lots of money from a digital detox—all unrealistic claims. It’s just a temporary break, and while that can be nice, it won’t change your life. Real change takes more active work. More from TIME But if you keep your expectations in check, you may find that a digital detox is a useful tool for self-reflection. Dopamine’s role in the brain A “dopamine detox” focuses on that particular brain chemical because it’s sensitive to stimuli like social media. Temporarily depriving yourself of such triggers should theoretically recalibrate your brain’s stores of dopamine and therefore make your pleasure centers more balanced, the claims go. Of course, brain chemistry is more complicated than that. Dopamine is just one neurochemical that contributes to happiness, and unplugging for a few days won’t rewire your mind. But it might help you recognize the triggers you’re leaning on, says Dr. Anna Lembke, a psychiatry professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine and author of the book Dopamine Nation Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence. “When we’re consuming digital media,” she says—like TV shows, TikTok, podcasts, and music—“it releases a lot of dopamine in a specific part of the brain called the reward pathway.” When dopamine is sent hurtling down this pathway, it sets off a good feeling in the brain. Any rewarding stimulus—a piece of candy, a “like” on a post, or the start to your favorite song—can give you this little hit. This pathway works best when it gets to hum at a natural level and spike at different points throughout the day, like at mealtimes. But most of the content on our phones, says Lembke, is designed to activate the reward pathway as strongly as possible, meaning that frequent use theoretically releases a “firehose of dopamine stimulation.” Our understanding of how the brain responds to ceaseless stimulation from our gadgets comes primarily from research on drug addiction, which commandeers the same reward pathways. “In order to compensate,” says Lembke, “our brain starts to downregulate our own dopamine production and transmission, to bring it back to baseline.” A dopamine deficit, which can result from the extremes of all forms of addiction, can lead to feelings of depression and anxiety. “Now we need to keep engaging in these behaviors—ingesting digital media—not to feel good and happy, but just to feel normal,” explains Lembke. That’s where a detox can be helpful. Can a “dopamine detox” really reset your reward pathways? “Detox” is a misleading term in this context. The word describes the removal of something harmful and unnatural, but dopamine, made in the brain, is neither of those things—nor is it being removed. The practice is also sometimes called a dopamine “fast,” and while the goal is to starve that dopamine-specific reward pathway of constant activation, the chemical is still present and active throughout the brain. What’s actually being cut out during this practice is whatever stimulus a person is hoping to feel less dependent on. A more apt but less catchy name for the routine might be “dopamine recalibration.” Really, it’s a commitment to breaking bad habits. Attempting this recalibration isn’t just for people who feel like compulsive media use is taking over their lives, says Lembke. “I love that the younger generation is exploring digital detox and trying to experiment with how they feel when they’re not constantly engaged with our digital devices,” she says. “It’s only by stopping for a period of time that we can really see how this technology is impacting our mental health.” Read More How to Get Healthier Dopamine Highs The most effective “dopamine detox” will be a personalized one, says Lembke. Cutting down on the tech you use most often is an obvious place to start, but dopamine hits can come from lots of places. Lembke, for instance, says that the most powerful break she’s ever taken was from reading romance novels. Even though they weren’t on a screen, the compulsive way she’d churn through their predictable plot points indicated to her that the hobby had hijacked her reward system. Even after four weeks—which is generally long enough to change a habit —she still craved the books. After taking inventory of her habits, she says, she “was finally able to trace it to listening to pop music, because almost all pop music is love songs. So I stopped listening to pop music, and that really helped me stop craving romance novels, which helped heal my brain to the point where now I can listen to all kinds of music and not crave reading.” If there’s a habit or device that you feel has too strong a hold over you maybe, for instance, going to the bathroom without your phone makes you feel antsy, it might be a good target for this approach. What to expect during a “fast” Aside from scientific studies about drug addiction, there’s not clear research on what happens when you quit your brain’s favorite reward cold turkey. When it comes to how the brain interacts with social media, “all we really have is our clinical experience,” says Lembke. “When we’re working with patients who have actually become pathologically addicted to digital media, they usually feel pretty bad for 10 to 14 days” when they first cut it out, she says. After that, she says, patients begin to be able to focus again, to slow down and enjoy activities that may have seemed boring before, like taking a quiet walk or cooking a meal. Gradually, because it’s not being used, the association between the problem behavior and the dopamine reward becomes weaker, making it easier for people to resume using their devices in a less problematic way. A lot of the self-help content circulating about dopamine detoxes leans into what we know from clinical treatment of true behavioral addiction, but we know less about how more minor behavioral tweaks—like cutting down on social media for a week—affects the dopamine reward pathway. For people without an addiction, a stimulus fast doesn’t need to be methodological; there’s no real right or wrong length of time to try it. What’s more important is paying close attention to how you feel while doing it, which may help you notice automatic behaviors that may not have registered before, like Lembke’s pop-song habit. Even a temporary step back can teach us a lot. “We’re constantly reacting to external stimuli, which means that we’re not really giving our brains a chance to form a continuous thought or staying quiet long enough to have spontaneous thoughts,” says Lembke.
