Diablo 4 Collapsed Vault dungeon guide

The Collapsed Vault dungeon in Diablo 4 is tough enough on its own. That’s before you factor in a potential bug that halts your progress in its tracks. So whether you’re grappling with monsters or technical difficulties, we’ve got a guide that will get this dungeon cleared in no time. There are plenty of monsters here, so having a good build like our Necromancer build will help out, as well as using Gems to buff up your gear. With that, let’s get into our guide to the Collapsed Vault dungeon and bug solution.

Collapsed Vault quick walkthrough

• Location: Collapsed Vault is in the Amber Sands area in Kehjistan.
• Aspect reward: Aspect of Cyclonic Force (Druid): Cyclone Armor also grants physical damage reduction. Cyclone Armor is also applied to all nearby allies.

Here’s a quick checklist of what you have to do to beat the dungeons, before diving into more detail below:

• Slay the dungeon boss, Seething Hivemaster

Collapsed Vault dungeon guide

The Collapsed Vault works very similarly to many other dungeons in Diablo 4, but we’re going to take you through just how to beat it. Head to the dungeon in north Kehjistan. Once you enter the dungeon, you should be in the Unstable Rampart section of the dungeon. If you’re not, that means you’ve been affected by the dungeon’s bug, and should skip to the next section to see how to fix it.

Once you’re in the Unstable Rampart section, you need to progress through and kill every enemy in this section. At the end of this section is a fog barrier, which you can’t pass through until you’ve killed all the mobs in this area. You will be facing a lot of skeleton enemies, both ranged and melee variants.

In the next stage of the dungeon, you’ll be required to place two Ancient Statues on two pedestals. Go through the dungeon and kill any enemies you come across until you find one of the Statues. Pick it up and place it on the pedestal before doing the same with the second one. Don’t try and carry both at the same time as this won’t work. Luckily, you get a small speed boost while carrying them.

After the Statues are on their pedestals, Seething Hivemaster, the dungeon’s boss, will spawn. This boss is quick and summons swarms of insects adds. Use AoE attacks against them and move around so you’re not swarmed and cornered by them. Other than that, it’s a pretty straightforward boss fight that largely depends on your ability to control the amount of mobs around you.

Take him out to finish the dungeon and be rewarded with a powerful Druid Aspect, Cyclonic Force. This reward lets you use Cyclone Armor for yourself and your allies too, while also increasing your physical damage reduction when using it.

How to fix the Collapsed Vault dungeon bug

Sometimes, when entering the dungeon, you’ll accidentally spawn into the wrong section. Check the top-right corner to see what area of the dungeon you’re in. You should spawn into the Unstable Rampart area, so if your’re in the Louse of Three, this means you’ve fallen prey to the bug. Don’t worry, as there’s an easy, albeit potentially tedious solution.

Open your action wheel by pressing E on keyboards or up on your D-pad for controllers. Select the ‘Leave Dungeon’ option to head back outside of the dungeon. Now, re-enter the dungeon and pray that you’ll be let into the right part of the dungeon. If you spawn into the second section again, repeat the process of leaving and re-entering until it works properly. This can take multiple tries, so you could potentially be doing this for a few minutes if you’re unlucky. Like we said, easy but tedious.

Hopefully, if you were affected by this glitch, you were able to successfully get into the dungeon after a few tries. We also have a bug fix for the Diablo 4 Fury Against Fate quest if you’ve had trouble with that. Also check out how to reset dungeons, in case you want to run the Collapsed Vault again.
