Check out the Complete Story Walkthrough for tips on how to complete the Campaign.
Treasure Troves
Treasure Troves are a way to super-charge your leveling experience. They give vastly more experience than regular zones and yield exclusive Legendary items. You need to complete each of them once for a Talent Point. For an easier leveling experience, you repeat the Treasure Trove until you're 8-10 levels above the zone, then rush through the next few areas. Follow your side quest to find the Treasure Trove locations.
Keep an eye out for the following Legendary items as you clear Treasure Troves.
- New Ear Hills (L7): Look out for Pentagram Astrolabe, Lonesome, Rock Lizard's Skull and Glorious Journey.
- Nectar Valley (L16): Look out for Omniscient Prototype, Boor's Iron Crown.
- Dawn Avenue (L27): Look out for Scarlet Decree, Chain of Resistance and Omniscient Prototype.
- Sanctuary of Solitude (L35): Look out for Lonesome and Pentagram Astrolabe.
- Silver Sands' End (L44): Look out for Chain of Resistance and Scarlet Decree.
- Hall of Grandiosity (L54): Here you should farm to level 60 to reach your next Hero Trait before completing the campaign. Look for, Sea Splitter, Boom Gloves and Boor's Iron Crown.
Leveling Tips and Tricks
- Your first active skill slot (top left in the Skills menu) is your "Main Skill," this matters because many items and Hero Traits have effects that only apply to the Main Skill.
- If you're ever in doubt of where to go, click the campaign quest on the left of your screen and a golden path shows you the way.
- This guide assumes you get most of your levels through Treasure Troves and rush to the objectives in other zones for maximum efficiency.
- When allocating Pact Points, prioritize Life first, then select Damage nodes until you fill the section. If you have leftover points, put them into Drop nodes as you begin farming the Netherrealm.
- Complete all 10 Levels of the Hero Forge to unlock all of your Hero Trait abilities and gain 6 additional Talent Points.
- All support gems become available from the Skill Shop at level 55. At this stage cross reference with the embeds to make sure you're set up for the Netherrealm.
- In Chapter 3 gear you find comes with varying amounts of Energy, after changing your gear, be sure to go to the Energy Menu under Skills to reassign missing Energy.
Equipment & Stat Priorities
Look for these Offensive stats on weapons:
- Fire/Physical Damage to Attacks
- Attack Speed
- % Physical/Fire Damage
- Attack Critical Strike Chance
- Critical Damage
Look for these Defensive stats on armor:
- Max Life
- Armor Bases
- Life %
- Erosion Resistances
- Elemental Resistances
- -x% additional physical damage taken
Core Skill
- Flame Slash is an attack skill that produces a large number of flame torrents on Steep Strike. The number of torrents scales with the amount of Skill Area you have and can overlap resulting in huge damage. An Endgame alternative to Flame Slash would be Berserking Blade provided you convert all the damage to Fire.
- Use Compound Source to quickly regenerate Life and Mana whenever needed.
- The mobility skill is interchangeable depending on your current Main Hand weapon. Spiral Strike is the fastest option if you are dual-wielding Swords. Use Leap Attack if you are using Axes, Hammer or a 2 Handed Weapon.
- Use Scorch on Elites and Bosses until you unlock Terrain of Malice.
- Burst of Anger provides an additional attack speed multiplier and is refreshed on defeat.
- Bull's Rage is the highest damage empower skill; it cost's a portion of life but grants additional Skill Area and Melee Damage. Use this over Burst of Anger if you're comfortable with the Life cost.

Racing through your Netherrealm quests as quickly as possible results in you becoming under leveled for the required zones to progress further, stay within 3 levels of the zones you're completing to avoid a harsh experience penalty.

Here's a list of things to do while progressing the early stages of the Netherrealm;
- Level 60, the Trade House is unlocked. Be sure to read and understand our Trade House for Beginners Guide before making any big purchases
