Diablo 3 Guide – Unlock Other Difficulties & its Difference

In Diablo 3, the ability to choose a difficulty at the beginning of the game isn’t possible. There’s no easy way to jump right away to the Inferno mode, but instead, you’re pretty much going to play the game first on the normal difficulty, then only then can work your way up. The way the difficulty is changed in Diablo 3 is by finishing the current difficulty you’re at and a new difficulty will be unlocked. Keep doing the same thing to reach Inferno mode.

As everyone knows, the maximum level that you can reach in the game is Level 60. Now, in order to reach that, you will have to use the same character that you started out with and replay the game several times until you reach the maximum level. A monster in Hell difficulty will have twice the amount of HP than the ones in Normal difficulty, so pretty much, no matter how strong you are when you restart, it will still be challenging.

Those who are still confused, here are some of the frequently asked questions:
