The sequel to the classic launched with a series of controversial issues (who can forget Error 37?) that a♛ffected its quality. However, years later, sits in a much more comfortable spot with several fixes, updates, and some DLC. Whatsmore, it has a terrific amount of content that will have you spending dozens of hours looting everywhere.
It can be hard to differentiate all the different content that this action RPG has to offer due to its multiple changes across the years and the randomness of certain features. But don't worry, we will make our best effort to tell you how long it takes to complete Diablo 3.
How Long Does Diablo 3 Take To Finish?
Completing the campaign of Diablo 3 consists of clearing four Acts that have their own number of quests. You'll smash skeletons, demons, and various creatures with a unique character you'll create by choosing one of the pretty different classes available.
Focusing just on the main story, it will take you to complete the game's campaign. It's worth mentioning that this is considering some grinding, visiting dungeons, leveling up your gear, and more, but always speaking of the base Diablo 3 — we will talk about Reaper of Souls below.
How Long Do Diablo 3's Main And Side Quests Take To Complete?
This one is tricky because Diablo 3 doesn't have regular side quests; it has Events. Events are pre-scripted events that have the chance of triggering while you're exploring your current area. They consist of killing specific enemies, gathering or crafting unique items, and doing other favors from NPCs.
Due to the lack of security in finding these optional quests, you might have to repeat areas a couple of times. Players estimate that it can take you around 40 hours to complete the main campaign missions and the Eve♉nts available in each Act.
How Long Does Diablo 3 Take To 100 Percent?
If you want to see everything the base Diablo 3 has in store for you, you'll have to spam your skills and attacks for over 150 hours. The spike in hours here (more than 100!) has to do with the fact that a good amount of trophies/achievements ask you to defeat the bosses in different difficulties, which means completing the game multiple times, and also clearing specific challenges related to them or other ♔features in the game.
How Many Hours Does Diablo 3: Eternal Collection Add?
In 2017, Activision Blizzard launched Diablo 3: Eternal Collection. This is the definitive version of the game launched in 2012, and it adds an expansion (Reaper of Souls), a new clas💎s (Necromancer), a fifth Act, and plenty of new features, such as Bounties, Adventure Mode, Nephalem Rifts, Seasons, and even more.
Completing all this content and what we have already covered from the base game will take around 200 hours. Of course, this number will vary significantly depending on the random factor of Events, loot, how well you build your character, and other factors. Also, it's worth mentioning that some of the features added in the definitive edition change drastically how the game works in regard to loot drops, leveling up, and other details, which will change the way you play the game.
