You can find the Portal Activator to The Pit inside of Cerrigar within the Scosglen zone. The Artificer’s Obelisk will appear in Cerrigar on every World Tier. However, you won’t be able to interact with it until at least World Tier 4.

  • Travel to Cerrigar in Scosglen.
  • Head northwest of the town center.
  • Interact with the Portal Activator to enter The Pit.

Although the main portal to The Pit of the Artificers is located in Cerrigar, that’s not where most of the content takes place. There are 200 tiers in The Pit and the levels will vary across all the dungeons within Diablo 4. One tier could take place in the Dry Steppes while another might bring you to a frozen castle in the Fractured Peaks. Either way, when you want to jump back into the Pit, it always begins with the portal in Cerrigar.

Even once you have found the Artificer’s Obelisk at World Tier 4, you still need at least one piece of Obducite and three Runeshards for the introductory quest. Otherwise, you need to complete a Nightmare Dungeon at Tier 46 or higher. Both options will lead you to the initial quest for The Pit.

Either you or your party members can contribute the shards, but someone needs to place them to enter. This is a requirement every single time you start a new run. At least the shards will generously drop from Nightmare Dungeons and endgame Helltides, though.

How Many Tiers are in The Pit in Diablo 4?

There are 200 tiers in total before you reach the true end of The Pit. Even though there are 200 tiers, most players will never reach that level. Even getting to Tier 100 will be a major achievement for most builds in the game. Anything after will be a true test of game knowledge and maxing out the affixes on your equipment. But if you can manage to get higher up, there are more chances for rewards like Stygian Stones.

That’s all there is to know about The Pit of the Artificer’s location. It’s just the first step to reaching your maximum potential for the season.

Diablo 4 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
