As part of the extra content beyond Diablo 4's main campaign, each region contains a couple of dozen Side Dungeons. Not only do these dungeons give completionists yet another pastime, but they provide important power-ups for your characters and one of the best ways to farm gold fast in the game.
As you might expect, Fractured Peaks is home to the best dungeons to farm because it is one of the least complex areas. Additionally, players will get access to it easily and early in every playthrough. Keep reading for every Side Dungeon in Fractured Peaks, the rewards inside, and where to find them.
Side Dungeons In Fractured Peaks
There are 23 total Side Dungeons in the Fractured Peaks, most of which are found simply by wandering the map. There are three which you cannot unlock simply by walking past: Cultist Refuge, Rimescar Cavern, and Anica's Claim. For these, you will need to complete a stronghold before accessing them.

Rewards For Completing Side Dungeons
Completing side dungeons in Diablo 4 comes with many of the same benefits as a story dungeon. The only difference is that the amount of experience points is a little smaller.
As an added bonus, every side dungeon will award the player +20 Renown and a unique reward when completed for the first time.
Best Side Dungeons For Farming
Side dungeons are very farmable because they can be run again and again through resetting. As a rule, the dungeons that are best to farm in Diablo 4 are those with many elite enemies and few dead ends. During early testing, the best dungeons to farm look to be:
- Anica's Claim
- Dead Man's Dredge
When determining which dungeons are likely to be good farming candidates, those with Animus Carriers as an objective are always a good bet.
