Hawezar, the fifth region in Diablo 4, has 23 of these side dungeons, and you’ll likely need to know where to find a few of them just in case you end up needing to clear them. But before you go running off to fill in every corner of the map, here’s where you can find every side dungeon in Hawezar and what to do to unlock the ones you can’t find.

All Hawezar Dungeon Locations

Hawezar has23 dungeons scattered throughout the tangled undergrowth of the swamp,but you won’t be able to unlock all of them at the start of the game. Of those 23 dungeons, only 16 can be discovered at any point in the game. For the others, you’ll have to unlock them in various ways.

If you’re trying to discover a dungeon,simply approach its location,and the game should fill in the area for you automatically. If you’re able to’t reach the location or if the dungeon doesn’t pop up on the map when you get close, that meansit’s locked behind other content.
