The Echoing Nightmare endgame activity is one that Nephalem shouldn't miss out on in each new Diablo 3 season. It is, however, quite difficult, requiring some great builds and items to take on. That's what our Diablo 3 Echoing Nightmare class build tier list is for.

This article explains how you can access an Echoing Nightmare in Diablo 3 and the best builds to get as far as possible in the latest season.

Update on 15 October 2024: This article has been updated to reflect the latest Echoing Nightmare builds and tier list info for the latest Diablo 3 season, taking the current theme into consideration.

How To Access an Echoing Nightmare in Diablo 3

To quote Orek: "Many nephalem have stood where you are now, but few succeeded in overcoming the trials."

Sounds both frightening and good at the same time, right? So, how do you get access to an Echoing Nightmare?

Well, it is quite simple, but it will require a bit of farming. First, you need to reach level 70 and complete some Greater Rifts. Greater Rift Guardians have roughly a 5% chance to drop a Petrified Scream item.

Once you have one, use it in Kanai's Cube, and a portal will appear, leading you into an Echoing Nightmare. Here, you will face waves of demons until you eventually perish, earning rewards based on how many waves you get completed, including the Whisper of Atonement gem.

To get far, you will need the best builds in Diablo 3, specifically for Echoing Nightmares, which is what our next section is all about.
